Cattle breeders and farmers in Enugu have entered into an agreement that will ensure peaceful co-existence.

The meeting was attended by leaders of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, Enugu State chapter of All Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN) and other stakeholders.

Briefing reporters, Southeast Chairman of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, Alhaji Gidado Siddiki, said the gathering was strategic to foster peace.

He said the meeting was to dispel insinuations that herders were in the state to terrorise host communities.



“The essence of this meeting is to bring farmers and herders together for interaction so that we will know ourselves as well as dispel rumour that we are here to terrorise.

“We are here to feed our cattle. This meeting will bring us together so that farmers will feel at home when they see cattle breeders.

“The cattle breeders will equally take members of their host communities as their brothers and sisters,” Siddiki said.

He said the meeting was attended by state chairmen of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association in the region.

“Since most of the grazers migrate from one state to the other, we brought state chairmen here.

“The essence is to inform them that whenever something happens and it involves somebody that comes from another state, I will call the chairman to resolve it.



“The agreement is that we will promote peace between ourselves through this type of meeting, which will be held regularly,” Siddiki said.

He said any issue beyond the groups’ leaders would be directed to the Central Peace Committee at the state level.

“We also made it known that we have a Peace and Security Committee at the Government House.

“Whenever something we cannot resolve happens at the local level, we take it to the committee for final decision,” Siddiki said.

AFAN’s Chairman Mr. Sunny Watarali said the meeting ushered in better understanding between the groups.

He noted that both groups need to respect the culture and tradition of each other.

Watarali said host communities would not allow cows messed up their source of drinking water.

“The grey areas have been sorted out. Both parties are to respect each other; respect the culture.

“For example, you do not carry cows to urinate in the river. This is the source of drinking water.

“Again, if for any reason the cow does anything wrong, our people should be patient and report, rather than resorting to self-help.

“If we can do that, such mutuality will bring about better understanding and peace,” he said.

Watarali said the meeting was expected to be replicated in rural areas.

“Subsequent meeting will be held at local governments where farmers live.

“I believe if we do that, we will achieve peace,” he said

You write like a 3-year-old kid
who is half asleep
drunk and half-dead in the middle of the night
yet trying to justify his N30-per post BMC job on an online forum

This is how you sound.

an IBO and Fulani man striking peace deal ... it can only last for a couple of days and matter go show e face again.... so d Fulani go come person land , kill d their people and expect peace deal to b struck ... e funny me oo but I know say e go hard.. nor also forgetting how d president is screwing eastern up

Fulani herdsmen have never been known to uphold any peace deal , they rather use the lull to study their victims better for the moment they will resume hostilities ....I dare anyone to go back in history and show me just one peace agreement the Fulanis have upheld , just one ..

So finally this zom-bie has resurfaced with his dullness and myopic reasoning. Benue state and Enugu are not the same. Whereas the Fulani terrorists are having a field day terrorizing and using benue indigenes as objects for target practice, the same cannot be said in Enugu. The rate of killings in benue cannot happen in any south eastern state. Even the foolanis know this.

What is it that these Fulani herdsmen are looking for all over the country that makes them leave throes of sorrow and anguish in their wake..

GOOD NEWS.

They even hardly had issues in Enugu, the media managed to confuse banditry with herding. Rubbish.

You're pained. The whipping you are receiving in Jerusalem is really affecting you.

Good one but don't expect true peace from any human

∆ It is not double dealing.

The way of peace should come first then if there is any breach then defense comes in. You don't defend when you're not attacked... ∆

In Benue it started with peaceful co-existence to what is now. Enugu is minutes away from benue - people should be vigilant.

This is a very bad idea... They usually come in peace before the start killing and destroying.

When you open a thread allow readers to express their views before you conclude.

Cattle rearing is simply seen as a trade by people in the South East, they won't attack a Fulani herdsman who carries out his business according to the law.
They value human life and are appalled by what is happening in Benue State and one of the groups that has sent relief materials to IDPs in Benue is Ohaneze Ndigbo, Gov Wike even donated N200m.

Despite the atrocities perpetrated by Benue indigenes against Igbos during the civil war the Igbos will always come to their aid as our close door neighbours.
There is a saying in Igbo 'onuru ube nwanne agbala oso' meaning when you hear your neighbours cry don't abandon him or her.

As a person who has lived most of his life in the North, I can tell you that the only tribe in Nigeria that the Fulani man respects are the Igbos for their ingenuity and business acumen and ability to look them in the face, you can ask them and Igbos also respect the Fulanis for their political sagacity in Nigeria.
The Fulanis also know that if you remove federal government military support and on a level playing field the Igbos can also be ferocious in dealing and taking revenge when attacked.

Buhari had to deploy federal might to brutally suppress an Nnamdi Kanu who was only armed with loudspeakers and microphone out of existing Fulani paranoia for the Igbos not to sell their bravery to other tribes under Fulani occupation, this is not obtainable in Benue.

Not the majority of the cyber threats are so evidently dangerous and because of this numerous associations don’t see smoke by any stretch of the imagination. In this manner, they expect that all is well and nothing is in danger. However, the reality is that a hacker or cybercriminal is already on the network, waiting, watching, stealing data, and committing financial fraud; typically using the credentials and accounts of a trusted insider. This is on the grounds that hackers and cybercriminals for whom the thought process is monetarily roused or insight centered, the way to their hacking exercises is to stay covered up, to remain undetected and shroud any follow or impression of their exercises. These kinds of hacking procedures make it troublesome for associations to perceive and battle cybercrime. They are difficult to detect because everything appears to be working normally.

I won't advise people to eat with devils, evil with a looooooong spoon.
They should be very very careful o

There is no peace making with these terrorists called Fulani herdsmen.

Don't say you weren't warned.

Your crying governor won't help you when they attack.

Good development, I guess if peace deals are struck everywhere there will be no need for majority of the violence we hear about daily( except those carried out by terrorist masquerading as herdsmen) it's time farmers and herdsmen work together so that each party would understand their different pains and find a way to make amends.

Believe the bolded at ur own peril

Taqqiya abi na takiyya. It's all lies to deceive "infidels". People of Enugu, do not lose guard.

There is enough land for grazing in the North. They should take their cattle there!

Go and tell Buhari that he is mad

They are not welcome here in akwa ibom



Fulani will slowly displace u

Striking a deal with Miyetti Allah is like striking a deal with the devil, with time their colony will start growing, they will get bigger, start having their own emirs in your land, start fighting for their "rights", before you know it, you're like a stranger in your own land.
