I think what the Oha neze should be doing now is to find a way to defend themself against the herdsmen. The herdsman never sleep. They always on the plan to attack. Be wise now. 3 Likes |

edoman2016: Then these colonies can be established in the territories the Fulanis occupy in the North. The experiences of the neighbours of the Fulanis all across the North in Benue, Kogi, Plateau, Taraba, Adamawa, Kaduna and even in the South in Edo, Enugu, Ekiti etc would make it very foolish to accept the imposition of such colonies/grazing reserves on anyone's ancestral lands. I'm no tribalist, but there's a disturbing death cult that trails the Fulanis wherever they go. 4 Likes |

edoman2016: This is not Kenya or Uganda. This is Nigeria. It worked in those countries because the people supported it and their government does not act with impunity as ours. Tyranny is when a government policy is conceived and implemented without regards to opinion of citizens. Cattle rearing is private business. Those interested should buy lands and build a ranch. Enough said already 6 Likes 1 Share |

edoman2016: Idiot, your focus should be on why Hausa/fulani in Nigeria are deploying violence and killing of other Nigerians with impunity in matters that should have been settled in a civilized ways, be it cattle colony or otherwise. These impunity of killings you will agree with me, is not limited to fulani headsmen issues alone, but in other aspects of Nigerian society, be it in Religious issues (bokoharam), land grabbing, corruption in billions, their backwardness, holding down other regions development, extreme nepotism in their approach to dealing with other Nigerian cultures. Again, you are an idiot if your focus is not on restructuring and true federalism but on how other countries like Kenya have accepted cattle colonies. 3 Likes |

Re: Why We Rejected Grazing Colonies - Ohanaeze by Ken4Christ: 3:20pm On Jan 17, 2018 |
Why will the federal government single our only one business out of many to give free land? It is simply an Islamic agenda. When they get the land, one man will marry four wives, have several concubines. Before you know it, they have outgrown the population of the owners of land. They will launch a jihad and take over the land. We are not idiots. Enough is enough. We should go beyond defending ourselves and plan how to chase them out of Nigeria back to the deserts where they belong. 2 Likes |

Grazing colonies is a no go area for this country . Its even most painful because most of the people that own this cows are very rich Nigerians that can actually afford to buy land and practise ranching. There are farmers who don't own the land they farm on,they pay a lease fee for the lands and farm on them.Is the federal government also willing to create farm colonies. 1 Like |

What is cattle colony? By Luke Onyekakeyah 16 January 2018 | 3:55 am https://guardian.ng/opinion/what-is-cattle-colony/ At a time when Nigerians are aggrieved with apprehension that the worsening massacres of innocent farmers in parts of the country by suspected Fulani herdsmen may be getting out of control, the Federal Government may be stoking more fire by proposing to establish what it calls cattle colonies in different parts of the country. Cattle colony is not a strategy for grazing cattle but a centre for cattle and beef product sales. Besides, there is only one cattle colony in the whole world found in Pakistan. It is therefore, worrisome what the Federal Government intends to achieve by establishing cattle colonies across Nigeria. Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh had disclosed in Abuja at a stakeholders meeting that the Federal Government is putting everything in place to establish cattle colonies that would solve the continued herdsmen/farmers conflict in parts of the country. According to him, the cattle colony project will start immediately following the offer of five hectares of land by 16 states in the country, adding that President Muhammadu Buhari has promised to help the ministry with money for the project. While Ogbeh did not disclose the 16 states that have donated hectares of land for the project, he said facilities will be provided to take care of the herdsmen and their cattle, which they (herdsmen) have said if water and grass were provided, they would not be moving with their cattle. Certainly, what Ogbeh is describing is ranching, which he is confusing with cattle colony. Whereas, a ranch is an area of land with facilities and structures set up for raising grazing livestock such as cattle, for meat or wool, cattle colony is totally different both in terms of purpose and structure According to Wikipedia, “Cattle colony is one of the neighbourhoods of Bin Qasim Town in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. This neighbourhood of Karachi is the centre of cattle and meat trade in Karachi. The cattle colony is the dairy products shopping and supply centre of Karachi. There are also many abattoirs and meat warehouses located in the cattle colony.” It is very clear from the foregoing that cattle colony is entirely a Pakistani idea for its local cattle and beef market economy. The cattle colony is one and exists only in the neighbourhood of Bin Qasim Town in Karachi. It is not in any other place in the entire Pakistan or elsewhere in the world. No other country in Africa, Asia, Europe, Americas or Australia has cattle colony. Thus, there is only one cattle colony in the world. Talking about cattle colonies in Nigeria, as Ogbeh is contemplating, is a misnomer. Moreover, since cattle colony is essentially devoted to the sale of cattle and beef products, it is, therefore, not one of the modern methods for raising cattle or other livestock. At best, it is an innovation for efficient cattle sales along with its beef products. Nigeria’s problem with cattle borders on grazing and watering of the animals. This is best done in a ranch, as in other parts of the world. Ignoring ranching, which is the globally accepted modern method of cattle farming and instead presenting cattle colony suggests something is fishy. It is baffling that the minister is introducing something that is alien to the world of cattle/livestock industry. Ranching remains the modern and most widely used method of raising cattle. To avoid confusing Nigerians, it is appropriate to understand what cattle colonies are as against cattle ranching. Cattle colony is like a shopping complex where cattle and meat trade are carried out. The colony has nothing to do with rearing/grazing cattle and other livestock. It is out of place for the minister to be talking of establishing facilities to take care of the herdsmen and their cattle in a cattle colony. This can only be done in a ranch. Any herdsman or cattle in a cattle colony is there for trading and slaughtering of the cattle and not for grazing. The string of abattoirs and warehouses that are established in Pakistan’s cattle colony show that it is entirely a market for beef cattle. Could the minister now see that the cattle colony is a place for slaughtering the animals and not for grazing? Can we call a spade a spade and save this country from avoidable crisis? If the Pakistanis who introduced cattle colony in their cattle economy established just one colony, why then is the minister talking about establishing cattle colonies all over Nigeria? And, if no other country has adopted the concept of cattle colony, why is Nigeria toying with it? Why are our leaders so obdurate and unwilling to do the right thing in the national interest? The insinuation that the cattle colonies proposal is intended to be used to Islamize Nigeria is gaining traction. Consequently, some governors in the Middle Belt and Southern Nigeria have rejected the idea. Where do we go from here? It is not that Nigeria is among the largest cattle/beef producers in the world. Nigeria is nowhere to be found among the world’s largest beef producers. Available information shows that the United States is the leading world beef producer (20%), followed by Brazil (15.4%), European Union (13%), China (11.4%) and India (7%). Out of the 53 largest beef producers ranked in the world, only two African countries are included namely South Africa at 13th position producing 1.44% of world beef and Gabon at the 53rd position with negligible per cent. In all of these countries, ranching is the accepted method of cattle farming. My study shows that Gabon has most of its cattle in ranches. Countries like New Zealand, whose livestock population is more than the human population, have their livestock in ranches. The argument that the Fulani’s traditional nomadic lifestyle has to continue cannot survive the test of time in the 21st Century as humanity passes into post modernisation digital economy. There has to be a deliberate attempt to get the herdsmen to adopt ranching in this modern era. There are few indigenous cultures around the world that are still stuck in the primitive wandering lifestyle. The Maasai of Kenya and Tanzania that rear livestock in semi nomadic fashion are even being tamed to be sedentary. The Tanzania and Kenya governments have instituted programmes to encourage the Maasai to abandon their traditional semi-nomadic lifestyle. While it may not be easy to change them, a concerted effort in that direction will definitely bring change. Nigerian authorities should do likewise except there is something else. |

THE ONLY KNOWN THING MORE DANGEROUS THAN A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT IN YOUR LAND OR NEIGHBORHOOD IS THIS: Fulani Herdsmen Cattle Colonies or Grazing Reserves, (according to old histories) has always turned to Caliphate or Local Government Area. They will soon produce religious leaders then ask for their local government in a foreign and borrowed land and become indigenous people |

edoman2016:The problem is not creating cattle colonies but creating cattle colonies in the South & Middle belt where land is predominantly used for crop cultivation. The North has a large expanse of land for creation of cattle colonies. Facilities should be provided for creation of ranches there. Modern cattle rearing is technology driven. |
