Afenifere should realise this is a situation which nobody would win.

To think we can wish away this situation is naive.

Whether Buhari is in power or not this problem would persist.

The longer it lingers the more lives would be lost.

But Tinubu says they can bring in as many cows as they want.

Pained? It is hard for me to believe the Yoruba is saying this..
This was exactly Odumegwu Ojukwu saw more than 50 years ago. And what did the Yoruba do?
Anyway, what can i say?
Good Morning, Yoruba

Tinubu's greedy godfather politics will destroy the yorubaland, but I trust the intelligent SW folks the moment they wake from sleep
they will challenge and defeat him, SW no be Abookis.

The pan-Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere, has rejected Federal Government’s proposed cattle ranches in the six states of the Southwest and other Yoruba-speaking states.

It described the plan as an imperialist agenda to create Federal cattle territories across Nigeria.

At its monthly meeting yesterday at the home of its leader, Chief Reuben Fasoranti, in Akure, the Ondo State capital, Afenifere cautioned the Federal Government against imposing any harsh policy on the nation.

In a communique issued at the end of the meeting and read by its National Publicity Secretary, Yinka Odumakin, the organisation said cattle-rearing is a private business.

It insisted that the government had no business getting involved, if there was no sinister.

The group insisted that “no plot of land in Yoruba land will be available for such cattle ranch and no governor should cede any land for such”.

Afenifere said: “We are devastated by the genocide that took place in Plateau State on Sunday in which over 200 deaths occurred, by eyewitnesses accounts, but the police admitted 100.

“These wanton killings and official irresponsibility portrays Nigeria as a barbaric entity. We, the Yoruba, are pained living in the same space with the bestial elements who kill innocent people in cruel manner.

“The images of children killed mercilessly with open skulls make anyone with human blood flowing in his or her veins to shrink. We are further distressed that the response of President Muhammadu Buhari to the murder of hundreds of our citizens did not attract a word of sympathy or regret.

“It is very infuriating that the President’s response and that of Miyetti Allah appeared to have been authored from the same laptop. The Chairman of the North Central zone of Miyetti Allah, Danladi Ciroma, said the attacks were a retaliation for the loss of 300 cows…”

SalamRushdie:


Your brothers have been offered the whole of Falgore forest reserve in Kano which has enough vegetation and waterholes to support over 200 million cattles indefinitely and it's also tse tse fly free meaning your tryponosomiasis prone cattles would be safe ... Why are your people not exploring that option but rather want plateau and Benue Valley.

irepnaija4eva:
We on other side of the Niger (ipob yoots and Niger delta) support you on this...
Honestly I really pity the NothernChristians.

Modified... Where the hell is Gowon
Where is Danjuma..I just hope they've begged for forgiveness cos this calamity they brought on their people will continue to hurt them even to the grave.
It will even get worst as the year goes by.
Damn..they are even on the brink of extinction.
Why the bare silence of Paul unogo Has he lost his voice?

You see brethren one thing with kamar is that...
It NEVER FORGETS..

Dont you consume beef?

Its a fact a tribe controls that trade and we must face facts instead of Ethno-religious excuses.

Proffer solutions and not just rejecting.

In as much you try to shy away from the fact staring at you, you wont still be able to give better solutions other than ranching.

Please dont tell me we start putting beef on railines from the North to other parts of the country, Or your people have enough cattle to invest in. And dont tell me you can boycott beef.


Give solutions that will be gain to everybody.

If you want to discuss logically, am with you

Shut up OGA. take them to Itsekiri land to graze your papa compound

Who's we
How can some group of selfish greedy men say they are speaking for us.
Am a Yoruba and I don't know them neither can I say they asked for my option before coming out to make a statement

Did they make any statement when Lagos land use tax was increased by 400,%?

Did they make any statement when badoo was terrorizing yorubas (Nigerians ) in ikorodu,Lagos ?

Did they make any statements when Lagos was filled with refuses ?

Did they make any statements when Yorubas( Nigerian's) workers are still been owed salaries from months ?

Did they make any statements when Yoruba (Nigerians ) pensioners die while fighting ,protesting, parading courts to get their entitled pensions?

Did they make any statements to urge or condem any your Yoruba state governor for not providing basic amenities to its citizens ?

Now they are coming out to say what ?

I just hope Nigerians soon realized this people don't speak for us but themselves.

We need to speak for ourselves, follow what's right ,act the right way,elect the right people and talk more of peace, development and solutions

Lilimax:

Seems they usually sees the Abokis as their superiors may be due to Islam?
Afterall with all these senseless killings and no measure to curb it, how can somebody anoints this present leadership to continue>

Any way, we're all in it together!

eagleeye3:

The middle belt handle this situation with kids glove, today they have themselves to blame.
Let these herdsmen RANCH. Cattle rearing is a lucrative business, so why can't they pull resources together and ranch if doing it individually will be to much.
The era of grazing cattle on peoples farm is over and it's archaic.
