Be wise bro. The farm settlement is on how to take over lands in all those areas. You will be having Emirs all over those settlements. The southern part are the major target. That is why Ohaneaze, Afenifere and co are saying if you want land, you have to hire them and pay taxes

Don't be quick to quote young man...
Did u understand my comment?
Did I applaud the move on settlements?
When I said govt being adamant and playing to the gallery...... What do u make of it?

This is how it is done in saner climes.

We remembered how we used to live as brothers as sisters in our darling nation with these same Fulani herdsmen.
The times we give water and food to herdsmen journeying across the nation as they go on their business peacefully,
before the evil and criminal minded politicians begun sponsoring some of them for evil because they want to remain in power forever.


Nigeria will be great again in our lifetime in Jesus name!


So be it......truly!


Amen.
God bless you.
God bless Nigeria.

A BIG AMEN.

The question was why are they establishing ranches in the South West?

Why can't they establish ranches for Herdsmen from t he Northern part of Nigeria in South West?


Cattle business is a personal business, just like Igbo trader in every part of Nigeria. They rent their stores or buy lands to build their store. If herdsmen wants land, they can buy or lease like every other businessman. After all they are marking profit from the cattle

Or if government want to have NCCN National cattle cooperation of Nigeria, that's fine but the proceed must go to the national coffers

If the government want to cave out lands in all states for herdsmen, they should also carve out lands for traders, farmers. Mind u, I want mine in martama abj so I can do my personal business

Seriously, Buhari has just earned himself another plenty of insult with this headline. To some this is fulanisation but it might be the solution to farmers and herders crises though

Most of d fulanis fermenting trouble don't have cows at all. They r d ones killing n maiming innocent Nigerians. I don't think this program will solve the issue of this killing by d fulanis watch n see.

It is not the state governor. It has always been there.

The land are provided for farming. I don t know if they are available for ranching. Either way, I am yet to see the news of FG or SG providing support for herdsmen until today.





So you see farmlands for farming is provided for farmers.
But it can't be so for cattle rearers(herdsmen).
The reasons are not far fetched because both are done differently.

The Federal Government said on Tuesday that it had begun to establish “Ruga Settlements” for herdsmen in 12 pilot states nationwide, Igbere TV reports.


Alh. Mohammadu Umar, the Permanent Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, made this known in an interview in Abuja on Tuesday on the sidelines of a workshop on Regional Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and associated legislation in West Africa.


He said that the farm settlements when fully established would address the incessant clashes between Fulani cattle rearers and farmers.


Umar explained that the pilot programme had already commenced on a 31,000-hectare in Kotongora, Niger state.


According to him, the required facilities for a basic life and treatment of cattle are being provided to enhance productivity.


He said that the government would replicate the programme in selected states as work “is ongoing in the 12 pilot states”.


According to him, six settlements will be established in each of the pilot states.


Umar, who added that the centres would be expanded and adequately equipped, and assured the beneficiaries that government would do all that was necessary to enlighten the herdsmen on how the use of ranches could make make cattle rearing more profitable.


He said that the government would sensitise the herdsmen to the social and political benefits derivable from such settlements.


The permanent secretary explained that various spots would be established for the pastoralists to be able to milk their cows.


He also said that dispensaries would be established to prevent the misuse of antibiotics.

Ranching is the simple solution to the herdsmen crisis but because the buhari fulani led administration is pursuing a different agenda they don't want to accept it,the real target of the hausa/fulani is control n dominance not peaceful coexistence n peaceful bussiness pursuit,now most states has realized this n are scary of having anything to do with fulanis,if not it's easy for the states government to establish ranches which the fulanis can use n pay rents just as market shops are built n rented to traders but won't the fulanis not later attempt to claim ownership of such ranches in future using federal might?, the fear of this future catastrophe is what most states are trying to avoid n rightly so.the results of this latest attempt by the present government will be very interesting.

In Oyo state for example, you can lease agricultural land from the government for a small fee.





In this case, are herdsmen going 2 pay fee 2d govt? U mentioned Oyo state& what it does 4 its people. These Fulani herdsmen don't they have states of origin where their governors will give them land just d way Oyo is doing 4 its farmers?

In a nutshell you are an impediment to the general welfare of us.

So don't be surprised when u wake up & you are alone.

That means
1) NO more Oil revenue handouts.
2) No more cheap well educated labour supplied under the guise of NYSC.
3) No more receipt of VAT generated in the South.


In return no more Fulani Herdsmen for us

I learnt you are from Benue, and I hope sone of your relatives gets the treatment these fulanis will unleash in a couple of years from this settlements.

Benekruku:


Your statement is a false annotation.

A religious conflict is different from whats playing here and you just only trying to use it as a point which out-rightly does not fit

What has cattle ranching got to do with religion? Oh! Cos predominantly Muslims are into the trade and the myopic view of Islamization is brought to play.

How many Northern settlements are in the west for years without them having conflicts about who controls the affairs of the area. Let me mention a few to buttress my point. Mile 12 and Mushin in Lagos and Kara in Ogun state. Conflicts are bound irrespective of religion or tribe. Is Ikorodu or shomolu a Fulani settlement? but conflicts happen there spontaneously.

Dont bring the religious or tribal play into the picture. Think more of best solutions to curb the menace. You mention grazing in whole of Sambisa forest and am certain you were proposing products should be railed to where its required. Are you being logical and feasible?


And let me just enlighten you cos you sound not be aware. Cattle rearing is also done by Christians who employ Fulani's has herdsmen, and not only Fulani tribe is into cattle rearing. Its archaic to believe in the "They want to take our land" ideology when National security is involved.



TAQQIYA at it's worst. Our eyes are now wide open. Mentions the Christians in commercial cattle rearing business. We have read and seen what similar gesture caused for Southern Kaduna. It will never happen again.

Ranchers and their cows are not arm of government.
Government should not use tax payers money for unproductive Fulani herdsmen.
