It is no longer news that governor Umahi of Ebonyi state has ordered Chiefs to provide lands for Fulani herdsmen in the state. According to him, it is way of maintaining peace and order in the state. The governor also said that the agreement was reached after series of meetings with security agencies, various committees and representatives of herdsmen in the state.

The questions which I don't know whether Umahi asked before giving the order to Chiefs who may be loyal to him are, where are the lands which he wants the chiefs to give to Fulani herdsmen? Have Ebonyians agreed to give their lands to Fulani herdsmen? What are the benefits of Fulani herdsmen cows to Ebonyians?. My dear governor, consulting only the chiefs, security agencies, should not be the criterion why you should give such an order because the disadvantages are more than the advantages if at all there is any advantage which cattle colony will add to Ebonyians.

Let me quickly go to the main reason why I have decided to write this piece. I was shocked when I read the part of Umahi’s speech which stated that he will provide water to Fulani Herdsmen in order for them to ranch their cows.

In his words..

“I will provide amenities such as water in such locations because the state government does not have the resources for ranching''.

I was devastated and dejected to hear such from the governor because Ebonyians are crying for water to drink and survive but here is my Governor, promising to give Fulani herdsmen water to give to their cows.

As an Ebonyi, I know how much I spend to buy water every day because of lack of water and I know so many Ebonyians are experiencing the same thing, we beg you to kindly provide the water for us to drink and live.

Ebonyians need the amenities such as water like you said

more than Fulani herdsmen!!

Supported,
Government should get their priorities right.

If not I'll push for ponds for fish farming
Land for yam farming
Sty for piggery
Cages for poultry
And free everything for anyone in agro business

Ebonyi state governor in the person of Dave umahi is a huge disgrace and disaster not only to ebonyi state but South East at large.

The ebonyians should ease him out of that position fast..

Ortom licked the ass of Buhari until his head was almost used for pepper soup. Nobody told him to grow balls.

Umahi should know the extent to bend in his asslicking before it becomes too much.

Ebonyi is not Benue

Mr Governor, charity begins at home!!!
Cheers

I have Always maintained that If Governors worked, Nobody would care who the president is...or where he is from.

These Guys are the biggest criminals in this Country...See that one for Kogi...him nearly wan move in with Buhari...
