The General Secretary of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, Baba Uthman Ngelzarma, says Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo’s office is helping the herdsmen to create Ruga settlements across the country.

Ngelzerma boasted that when the programme has been successfully completed, Nigerians would fully enjoy the benefits of animal husbandry.

The settlement secretary said this on Sunrise Daily, a programme on Channels Television.

Southern socio-cultural groups including Afenifere and Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo; as well as the Middle Belt Forum have all rejected the Ruga initiative.

However, Ngelzerma said not only Fulani men were herders, adding that herdsmen of all tribes would benefit.

He said, “This Ruga settlement model is a component part of the livestock development and transformation plan that is being implemented under the Office of the Vice-President. It is a component part of it.

“All must agree with me that the crisis we are facing today has become a multi-dimensional one and so the approach must also be holistic. It was the desire of the Federal Government to take a holistic approach that gave birth to the Ruga settlement model and it is not only for Fulani herders.

“In southern Kaduna, there are natives who are also herders. Even in Plateau, there are other groups that are herders. It was intended for the herders as part of efforts by the government to come up with an economic model of solving this crisis.

“This is an integrated settlement that will bring about the production of pasture grass, water, schools, markets, meat and milk processing and where it can create a sub-sector of the economy. This is something that if done properly, it will create a lot of employment.”

He urged Nigerians to support the model and give peace a chance even as he claimed that only states that approved of the model would have Ruga settlements.

When asked if it was right for the government to spend taxpayers’ money on what would benefit herders alone, Ngelzerma argued that crop farmers had similarly benefitted in the past.

He said southerners benefit from animal husbandry more than the northern herdsmen who rear the cattle.

We understand that the vice President has no power of his own.
He is doing only what the fulanis command him to do including conniving with the fulanis to take his kinsmen's land.

Couldn't find Osinbajo in this piece, bug I guess when I buy acres of land in Osun State and put cattle on it I suddenly will stop being an Osunian and become a Fulani herdsperson instead.

But tok-tok pesin to di President, Femi Adesina, tell BBC say, e dey on record wia some state govnors bin agree say to build ranch na way out to sort di crisis between farmers and herders for di kontri.

"Di National Economic Council set up committee ontop dat mata wey visit some states for di kontri wey dem agree say di way out of di crisis between farmers and herdsmen na to set up ranches so dis wan na surprise to me."

"Some govnors dey on record wey dem say dis na di way so if dem dey kick against am now wetin come be di solution dem dey provide?" na wetin Adesina tok.

Wen BBC ask say pipo dey say di Ruga settlement go collect land from pipo hand Adesina reply say: "Anybody wey dey tok dat wan dey tok am out of hatred and dat pesin suppose purge imsef from hatred against pipo of oda ethnic tins.

Will be back to comment.

He is totally toothless, he should resign.

Osibanjo a useful idiot

Please compare the current vice president with Ebitu Ukiwe when he was the vice president, and you can clearly see why Fulanis are hell bent on ensuring no Igboman holds a meaningful position of authority in Nigeria. It is only an Igboman that will tell people loud and clear, what his stance is.

Ebitu Ukiwe, a typical Igboman was no man's slave.

Nigerians can talk online sha, and i wonder how they plan to stop the ruga settlements from being established. Those settlements are already being built and established literarily on the ground as we speak far inside the bush that your daily routines might not even take you that direction, so might not even know it is happening right there in your state. Another bitter truth is that it is a done deal affair, there is nothing you can do to stop it. And those shouting that they want to take our land, which land do you own inside those forests and bushes? Those are government lands that are simply demarcated, and used as the government pleases. Overall, you reading this as a citizen is very powerless in these kind of issues, you can only complain online, but on the ground, federal government will simply send contractors to work. Finally, stop wasting your time concerning something you cannot do anything about, rather go look for money

Of course I know the assignment will be given to a Southerner and of afonja origin. Southerners are always the ones to clear the mess created by the North.

i keep saying it
