GODKID98:
Nigeria is in deep shit,I swear!

Instead of the government to establish a security outfit whose main objective would be to curtail the excesses of these herdsmen and their cattle, the government is busy PROTECTING the investment of those THREATENING the lives of the citizens and their investments.... What kind of a twisted mentality is that?

I think you dont understand the message.

Ranching is the way ( if you dont want nomadic herdsmen to continue fighting and killing farmers.

However, it is capital intensive and has become risky because of the rustlers who can 'steal cows'.

Therefore, the government, as a way of encouraging investment in this area, wants to provide insurance ( in case of any loss), and security personnel to secure them from rustlers.

This is a good initiative, if you ask me.

N of all d people to break the news, to coat it n make it more acceptable in the south, is the coordinator!
Thousands of lives r been lost to these herdsmen yet they arm them d more! The lives of ccattles are worth more than the lives of Nigerians to this myopic , islamization-blinded evil FG!

But the will of God and his son Jesus must be done

This government is weak af. Instead of curbing the excesses of those fulani murderes they're trying to protect them and have the gall to refer to it as "a clash". Buhari, continue to protect your murdering brothers, your time is up.

Fulani Herdsmen have AK47. Now FG is providing them additional ex-service security armed followers. Why? Megadis to fight opposing farmers, Traditional Rulers and Governors.
Why can't FG provide money to all states to build comercially viable Ranches for their people?
From Bokoharam to Fulani Herdsmen to Kidnappers and now armed Hangerons.

No person should steal cattle they dont own, just as no cattle should eat crops its herder did not plant. Those who steal cattle are wrong, likewise those who herd cattle onto crop farms are thieves.

If we are providing armed protection and insurance to prevent stealing cattle it makes sense to provide armed protection and insurance against herders that steal crops.

Who is the heavily armed guard that is recruited to guard fulani, is it Yoruba, is it Ibo, is it Ijaw...or will it be fulani guarding fulani?

Heavy armoury officially made available to fulani, and paid from federal govt.

The South is a joker!

Who are the rustlers ? Who are the heardsmen ?Do you think the herdsmen are willing to give up thier nomadic life in the name of ranching ? Something they see ad way of life ? They are like Gypsies in Europe .

Targeted protection, a certain elite comes to mind

“If you start a ranch or you have a big agricultural project, approach us, we will post them to you at no cost to protect your investment.”

Protection for small scale farmers nko? I remember that 70somthing year old woman that got raped recently on her farm

Exactly

"If you have a ranch, its a big investment, call us we will send security to you at no cost" I do wonder how these cows increase the income of this country." I have severally asked if these cows belong to federal republic of Nigeria? Or if they are peoples private businesses just like my small scale farm?? I need an answer. I really don't understand a whole lot of things, who is using the country's money to protect his investment while the poor pay for security for their investments. I keep saying that this country is just made up of the elite and the masses. The elite uses the general wealth as they like, the masses fight and kill each other for the elites. The elites have learnt to use these lines on the masses, Christian vs Muslim, North vs South, Hausa vs Igbo, Yoruba vs Igbo, PDP vs APC etc etc etc and they are busy sharing the common wealth. Today FFK is d problem, tomorrow its Fayose, next KANU and the masses will be fighting themselves. Tell me which country will use taxpayers money and other common wealth to protect some peoples private investments, if not Naijiria.

Instead of simply saying "we have failed Nigerians",

I wonder why this man is still a minister cos am sure he knows nothing. Quota system have paid off for him.

Nigeria is indeed a zoo!

I curse the day Amalgamation of Nigeria happened.

This is absolute nonsense, just nonsense.

You asked lots pointless questions. Think about it. If ranches take market share from herdsmen they will adapt or go out of business. With your mindset you probably believe entrepreneurs won't step in to make the money. Is herding a lifestyle or business for them. The only big solution is for state government to bann opening grazing if the are serious about ranches.

Why can't they tag the cattle with RFID microchips that would allow proper monitoring of the movements of such cattle? If such chips are used, you can easily identify whose cattle has been moved, or which cattle strayed into the different farmlands of other people, and in so doing identify the owners and ask for compensation, when such farmlands are destroyed. That would prove effective. I hope the insurance companies insist on the cattle being fitted with these devices. They act like trackers.

Excellent suggestions insurance companies can simply encourage it by charging lower premiums to customers.

Exactly!! If this can be done properly, then by identifying the cattle and also owner of the cattle, one can even track the herdsmen assigned to such cattle and arrest them, in cases where they go on rampage in different communities!!

What about those ranches with pigs and goats , they get stolen too. For example Jessam cattle ranch and farms would like the protection too. we are in Emene , Enugu. contact us - jessamfarms@hotmail.com

I don't know how old you are but calling my questions pointless shows you don't have a clue . Why do t you address the pointless issues I raise d instead of you ending up saying nothing meaningful ?
You don realize to be nomadic is a way of life . I made reference to the Gypsies in Europe who are nomads .

NO ONE CARES TO KNOW THAT THE NIGERIAN POLICE IS A COMPLETE ROT, NOT EVEN THOSE WHO ARE TO CARE FOR THEM AND INSTEAD OF STRENGTHENING THAT INSTITUTION WHICH WOULD DRASTICALLY REDUCE CORRUPTION AND CRIME IN NIGERIA BY 50%, BUT NO....THIS GOVT THINKS AGRO-RANGERS ARE A BETTER SOLUTION??

To please the Zombie in Chief..

One problem at a time. I support this initiative. Building Ranches will help in green grass cultivation and will disallowed headsman to go about into other people's farm. Well the agro-rangers purpose is abit understandable. Its a good preferential treatment.

Which region is next?

Yes your questions are pointless because it doesn't matter either way. Thinking about scenarios a few minutes shows all roads lead to sane destination because the world doesnt revolve around their decisions. They have to adapt to government policy changes and competition from others obviously

If they don't adapt to ranching system they go out of business. If the answer yes to adapting to ranching good. If they don't give it up willingly they become criminals if open ranching is illegal in certain state they do business.

Who are cattle rustlers they are thieves simple. Police arrest then and send them for prosecution. Cattle rustling happens either way but less in ranches. Tagging or earpiece chips help.

Let's address your gypsy comparison since you probably don't know much about them. The majority aren't nomadic like they used to be. Next they would still have to legally move around in places with borders or else they can face prosecution. I don't know any exception for gypsy feel free to show me. They have changed with time so you should understand others change aswell.

let me.ask you , planting of grass to feed cows in a designated Ranch amd moving of livestock hundreds of km to feed in greener pastures which do you think is cheaper ?

Now about Gypsies , if you do your research you will realize that name is insultive . In a polite way they are called travelers . I k kw this cos I deal with them day in day out . They are very rich people with No Bank account sooner was never am issue . They just move into any land /House they have access to . They do 5 care about the Law . It 5 a ke a court injunction plus force too e them out of any location . Thier mode of operation o's same . The worse ones are the Irish . Now moving from place to place is thier way of life .
In relating to heardsmen moving cattle frm place to place is thier way of life for hundreds of years . .
Now its ironic you say my points are baseless yet we are expantiating on them.

1. Ranching is cheaper long term. You buy the land 1 time. They cows are healthier and sell for a higher price. You pay less to take care of yourself. Then calving and milk production are better.

2. You're right about name gypsy they are actually called Romina people.

3. Being nomadic isn't a crime. Squatting in someelse's property is. It could result in jail time if you want to go breaking and ebering route.

4. I say it makes no difference because if they become criminals outcomes range from jail and having cattle seized and stiff fines. Hard to live your lifestyle behind bars or without cattle.

5. My main point is the market will be biggest change factor. The main consumption markets for beef are in southern coastal areas. The move cattle to accommodate to market their so rules and regulations will effect them greatly.
