Another heap of baseless lies born out of bias. But like fg said, its not by force. At least u guys opposing won't ave d mouth to cry tomorrow. Don't expect govt to employ ur youths to work in d ranches o. Keep ur land and purchase ur meat from Israel!

Efewestern:
Over the years the Fulanis have attracted hate and distrust towards their ethnicity, normally issue such as this wouldn't have been a difficult one to accept, but looking at history and how these people have committed so many heinous crimes, it will be suicidal to allow any Fulani settlement in your state or region.

There are ways things such as these are being done in developed countries, cattle rearing is a private business and as such the owners of such cattle should buy some piece of land and set up a ranch, that's the best way to go.

Reverend king and Evans are in jail. Should we release them and give them presidential treatment?
As long as the ruga is confined to your north Igbo's we do not give a fu..ck

Aren't u just a bundle of hate and all this wrong with this country

Oshigun:


Indeed. Did herdsmen problem start today or has it existed for decades? Nigerians need to start eschewing hate and partisan outlook to note what matters. If this effort can bring a permanent solution to clashes between herdsmen and farmers/members of community, then why can we not look at it positively if we are progressive people genuinely desirous of a great Nigeria driven by innovative and permanent solutions to problems that has bedevilled us for many decades?

When some people want to claim ownership of Lagos, Abuja and virtually every State of Nigeria they will argue they are Nigerians with a right to live/work anywhere. With legal agreements in place, why can Fulani herdsmen not breed their Cattle anywhere in Nigeria and why the double standard from some who want to enjoy freedom of movement and trading in all States of Nigeria but see nothing wrong in denying Fulanis of same when they too are traders with the difference only been the commodity traded i.e Cattle in this case.

blackpanda:


Ruga is not a gift to Fulani's. Its a federal govt project for cattle ranching. But d activities are not limited to ranching. I wish nigerians can wake up and think logically instead of knee jerk emotional reactions based on bias and zero evidence. This is a project that will put food on the table, money in the pocket and jobs for d unemployed. But all these people can focus on is Fulani tribe. Sad really

APC has denied SE all benefits and appointments since 2015. Where is this love and goodwill for food on table, money in pockets and jobs suddenly coming from? Are you forgetting we did not vote APC? Deny us RUGA too. We will be fine as usual.

Lightening:


And you Fulanis are bundles of love. Keep your love, while we keep out hate. After all, we have nothing in common.

Mention one enterprise the Nigeria government has run successfully? It is those RUGA states that will cry tomorrow not those that rejected them.

blackpanda:


You are always the first to boast, and also the first to cry like spoilt babies

And who told u it will be run by fg?

Am not Fulani. Stop talking trash

There is no eastern state among the pioneering 11. So I don't get what u are blabing

EmperorHarry:
It's not only Fulanis that rear cattle in Nigeria.Ive resigned from counterproductive arguments with dimwits blinded by tribal bias.I'm pretty sure the govt doesn't give a sh!t about this cyber noisemakers that don't think objectively.It's not every dog that barks that you throw stones at.The govt would do what's best for the country in my opinion cos segregation isn't a good option as it would support the idea that we're different people and should treated differently.It starts with Fulani herdsmen before you know it,ethnic diversity becomes a no no.Imagine if all non northern farmers are asked to leave the north and go to their state.Its this same deluded people that would be screaming tribalism,but don't see what they're doing now.
Oshigun and blackpanda if you have the energy to have counterproductive discussions with deluded folks then I support you.More oil on your head.

Lightening:


Fulani herders should go and source private ranches & facilities like other herdersmen and business men everywhere without latching on government for freebies thereby heating up the country unnecessarily.

Lightening:


I hope the people you alluded to that claim ownership of Lagos and Abuja were built settlements, shopping complexes and factories by federal government. I also hope that you go about killing every immagined opposition and raping their hosts' women.
What a hatefully weak comparison. I know you are a Youruba Muslim. Go ahead and advocate louder for RUGA to be established throughout SW so that you cut your own nose to spite your face.
Onuku!

lexy2014:


U didn't answer d question. If its going 2b so successful as u say, y does d FG not want to start d programme in d states of origin of d Fulani herdsmen? Or do these Fulani herdsmen not have states of origin?

Esseite:


Other Tribes can breed cows on their own if they so hunger for beef. majority have seen the mayhem of the fulani herders and the docile attitude of the govt towards them. It's obvious the settlements would be segregated to 95% fulani territories and eventually turned villages.

The settlements of the military era, are they still called settlements?

budaatum:


We Nigerians seriously need to understand that we, each of us, is governing Nigeria, and help government come up with appropriate solutions, instead of bath watering the baby. But I do understand how almost impossible it is to for some to know the powers they yield, and the cost of having to show you.

Esseite:


Were the Ijaw towns gifted or were they once called IJAW fish settlements?

I understand its normal to fight for your people, its equally normal on the other end aswell.

Oshigun:


Yeah. Yoruba Muslim is the automatic label you tag everyone who does not agree with you. Bro, business is business whether it is manufacturing or Cattle rearing so don't come here talking ignorantly. The issue is that there should be clearly demarcated ranches for herdsmen to rear their Cattle. They are entitled to conduct their Cattle rearing anywhere in Nigeria if they engage the authorities in every State legitimately and refrain from acts of violence.

Is it not the same way you Igbos tell us you are free to carry out your activities throughout Nigeria as long as the Nation remains one? If measures are put in place , short and long term, to curb the killing of innocent Nigerians by herdsmen then I have no problem with them grazing tbeir cattle in designated ranches with strict control.

lastmessenger:
listen and be attentive. History is there for us to learn from and avoid future mistakes. The antecedent of the Fulani's as a trouble making people are evident for a to see.
Please if you want to ruga please ruga in your North for all I care. Are you not the same people who boast of your large land mass? Is the land mass of Niger State state not more than that of the whole south east combined together? Why looking for lands in where you cannot find it?
If you want to ruga please ruga in your North. You can bring the meat with your truck to us and we would buy.

AZeD1:

It's 2019 why is the federal government interested in ranching?

If I decide to start a farm today, I'll go and buy land in which I plan to use on farming and that is the same way anyone who wants to rear cattle should buy his own land and build his ranch.

HappyPagan:
Thanks for this thread.. given me some enlightenment on the topic.

@budaatum, watching the first few minutes of the interview with the Benue man... he alleges that construction of the 'colonies' began before getting the government's approval.If true, wouldn't this be illegal?
