AbuuBilaal:
Firstly, comparing pigs to cows is an erroneous comparison. Cows are eating by virtually everybody in the country. I do not know any tribe that doesn't eat beef. Rather, all other meat sources only supplement beef.

Secondly, it's a simple issue. Fulanis should take their cattle to the north and let's see who will lose more. Youruba man that can't even manage a dozen goats, how will he get meat for his wedding, naming and other ceremonies.

Thirdly, cattle is reared and grazed but pigs are confined. Until pigs are reared like cattle, there's no need for a 'puga' scheme.

Fourthly, ruga created to solve a societal nuisance. Meaning that it was born out of necessity. Farmers and cattle owners are struggling for scare resources - green pasture and land - but this isn't the case with piggery.

In summary, we should all try to be objective and realistic. A good and peaceful Nigeria will benefit us all. Let's not join hands with trouble makers and agents of anarchy.

I rest my case.

Bhol28:
I believe we shouldnt always be antagonists of govt policies aimed at bringing solution to unnecessary killings of human beings in the land.Herdsmen/Farmers crisis didnt just start during pmb's tennure.What some of us fail to realise is that job opportunities will definitely be created in any area a well run modern livestock rearing settlement is located. vet doctors etc will benefit.Some naive state governors who suppose to think of how it can boost their state revenue and negotiate with FG are politicising the issue.Yet none of them can profer any solution to the crisis.

Realdeals:
So sorry, the intimidations and harrasment young people pass through on a daily basis ought to have reset their brains, but No, they are still in love and hailing their oppressor.

RTSC:
All over west africa, they have dealt with the fulani problem.
Fulanis are now docile in most parts of west africa.

These barbarians now come here and take advantage of a serious flaw in our national composition to harass the real and bonafide Nigerians.

AllHailBiafra:
In as much as this Call is a welcome development from Nnia Nwodo, I must state that Nnia Nwodo have just confirmed his foolishness and has proven Nnamdi Kanu to be wiser and smarter than him claiming to be an elder because Nnamdi Kanu saw a long time ego what he couldn't see until few days ego. He just called for self defense for the Igbo speaking Biafrans, the same call Nnamdi Kanu made and they invaded his house in a bid to kill him.

I want use this opportunity to send unmistakable message to the federal government of the zoo and the entire Fulani tribe that we the the Biafrans are not shaking even one bit over their cowardice gra gra threats, we're pleading with them to please hasting their plans against us because somebody like me, I'm in a hurry to beginning to slaughter all the planted Fulani weeds in different corners of Biafra land. We will kill them and kill their charms that's giving them moral to act as if they can stand us one on one on a Neutral ground. Nomadic Bastards.

Benekruku:
If I want to be fair and go by the recommendations of those that antagonised my humble and honourable self when I was in support of RUGA,

I will clearly state that the Ultimatum is well deserved. Many quoted me on Nairaland saying "RUGA should be done up North ONLY". Fine! And now they are also telling you to go trade in your region. Anybody that needs your product would come and buy in your region.

I think its fair with all honesty. If a Fulani or Hausa man is limited to trade in certain parts of the country, then I think other tribes should be limited to trading in there own region too.

I feel does that came for head when I was supporting RUGA can now find a better resolution to the impending doom that stares at us at present.


Did you really read the reaction of OYC. They recognized the right of every Nigerian to trade where ever in the country but it is the method that is the issue. You cannot practice your trade to the detriment of others. They accepted ranching as a solution but not forcefully acquiring indigenous peoples land by the Federal government. Do you also accept that those in the villages depend on the land to survive? Do you accept that Fulani or other tribe's cattle or livestock business is a private business? Are you aware that state have control over the use of their land space? Be circumspect before you make your comment.


The English people call it "Tit for Tat"
Warri people call it "Do me, I do you"
Men call it "An eye for an eye"

godliman:
Buhari will be the fire victim of his own fire

Dpharisee:
Ruga is to wandering Fulanis what Palestine is to wandering Jews who needed a homeland to call their own after the holocaust that occurred during WWII in 1945.

It was obvious to the scattered Jews that they needed a place to call home and adopted Palestine using historical and biblical contexts.

All Jews all over the world were encouraged to migrate to Palestine which is now Israel where settlements similar to Ruga was created for them in 1945 to live side by side with the Palestinian Arabs, overtime this did not go down well with Palestinians and thus triggered the 1948 Palestine war which was won by Isreal thereby using that opportunity to grab more land from the Palestinians till date.

BankyGee:
Be optimistic... Nigeria will win this trophy and Nairaland will remember that I said so.

Niseamaka:
Thanks bud, there’re a lot of kids on nairaland, every government worldwide inherits debts, including the “almighty” usa. This is not even “proper” debts (money borrowed), it’s court judgements against the state which can be appealed up to the Supreme Court. Can someone tell Emeka Ihedioha and his team to stop witch hunting and focus on the task of governance.

chrisagyei:
so we shouldn't enforce our laws because some Ghanaian product is being sold in Nigeria by Nigerians.We don't support the attack of Nigerians buh our laws in Ghana clearly states that no foreigner should engage in retail business because it's reserved for only citizens except you the foreigner has a minimum capital of 200,000 US Dollars.

JubrilBuhari:
Unity with who?
Oh! I forget am replying and senseles dude!

anonymous1759:
I'm certain the Igbos will do the same if they get the opportunity. It's the pure truth until we ourselves as one the politics will continue like this.
The way the igbos play politics is irritating and you expect positions. The fact you don't like a preferred candidate doesn't mean you'll insult him just to prove a point or you think the whole region don't know or see what's going on? You guys should check yourselves.
I've seen some disgusting comments here about Buhari, some people will openly say even if Buhari channel all the resources to South East or bring development they'll still vote him out.
If you find yourself in that position I don't think you'll take such region serious politics is not played with Hatred.

lilfreezy:
Land grabbing. The Fulanis want a place to call home in Nigeria and they are systematically wiping out other ethnic nationalities especially Christians. Buhari, elrufai and Co knows what's up. It's a long term plan and buhari's presidency is just an opportunity to actualize this.

muykem:
See frustration of highest order. The level of hatred Igbo leaders are preaching to young people and the turn of events politically in the country might increase suicide in that region.

Juliusmalema:
Many still have lot to learn from the Humility of Imo state Governor RT Hon Emeka Ihedioha as he presents himself to be searched at the Imo airport.

obailala:
The funny thing about the reactions in this thread is the blatant hypocrisy...

When GEJ did exactly the same thing which Rochas did (i.e. converting Polys to Unis - a.k.a name change), I'm sure most of the people blasting Rochas here were celebrating GEJ for establishing 12 new universities and calling it an achievment. Now tables have turned to someone they love to hate and they are here hailing Ihedioha.

AmazingELixir:
Hmmm

I hope Ihedioha didn't contest the governorship position for the sake of vendetta..Rochas Okorocha has his shortcomings no doubt but mehn give the guy a break how much more can a single person take....Efcc is on one side hounding him, INEC withholding his return certificate on the other side, Ihedioha poking him from under and El Rufai/ Oshomole launching their attack from the top.

It's well..
