South West can do that but we the South South and South East is a big NO.

Hacuttie:
It's understandable for any reasonable person to reject fulani settlement in his territory owing to their destructive antecedents and little or no respect for human lives. However, total rejection of RUGA would mean the present method of unlawful, unrestricted grazing will continue and fight between hearders and farmers will persist.

The leaders in the south should study the arrangements and modify it in such a way that it would ensue peace and hearders will be restricted to an area. This to me is better than total rejection. There should be stringent law backing up the settlement.

Rejecting ourselves can never leads to peaceful co-existence and we need peace to develop our country.

obro,we need no peaceful co existence amongst humanimal

let them vamoose!

Likewise In south west

Wrong! The yoruoba Moslems are one with the north, hence ruga must be set up in yoruoba land. The SE/SS will supply you and your fulani masters with fresh grass

A very sensible position that would surely prevent clashes and killings.

This is very doable, simple and less troublesome.

JudasNaCarrot:
Good idea....there's enough land in the North for Ranch but no grass.

There's enough grass in the South but no land.

Remain in your region and let commerce flow.....send me meat,i send you grass to feed the animals.
At the end every body will be happy and there won't be any clash between herders and farmers. The Cows will grow more meat and increase yield thereby increasing profit instead of trekking thousands of kilometers wondering about destroying farmland and stressing the cows.
A new job opportunity will be created as people in the south will now begin to grow high breed nutritious grass and export to the North.

All these are well articulated by someone from the South because he has vision but the dundee President who have "akamu" in his brain will never see reason with this.
All he is after is to continue his great grand fathers war of conquest down South to conquer and dominate.

Push and start Fulani President of the North.

Simple and fact!!!

Let federal buy fertilisers to grow grass for their ghost cows in the north afterall they have enough land.

Buhari keep your God forsaken brethren in the north and good luck to you and them.

Any Governor that accepts this mischievous plan in the South South is an enemy of his people, and won't be forgiven. We can rear cows in the South, let them use the billions to buy fertilizer and afforest the North.

RUGA settlement is a scam to colonize Nigeria and be a dominant tribe in the future.
Everybody knows the tribe.
A simple solution to herdsmen/farmers conflicts.
*Advance climes practice RANCHING and then Nigeria should also do it.
*Let the South cultivate grasses suitable and sell to the private cattle rearers in the North.

Cattle business is not a government business.Why create settlements with basic amenities as water, electricity, housing etc and then send a particular tribe there nationwide which will later metamorphos to new local government areas.

Why is this government trying to RECOLONIZE Nigeria with a particular tribe?

Abeg collect one bottle of Locozade from Mama Ada
Your brain dey your head
It is unfortunate that we have rustic, archaic, analogue and backward thinking man as the president of this country. How will I give my papa Land to Fulani who will in no time establish an emirate system and start fighting this useless Jihad war.
How many Igbos and Yorubas were given free Land in the North to establish business

No plans to move the nation forward...

But concrete plans nd measures to protect nd secure cows...




Na wre dem go pick dis kind Fulani herder from oohhhh

hardbody:


Assume you propose this and he accepts, all you have done is to allow the building and development of a military base called Ruga and open yourself to a quick running over at the H-hour in the eastern heartland. Apply wisdom

North will never accept this as this will amount more states in the south. The governor of these states will be southerners as well.

We collectively rejected Cattle Colonies, he changed the the name to RUGA, thinking we are cows to confuse us with the worst agenda. We need nuclear power plants in our backyard than Fulani Herdsmen.

Wetin be 'can't'?
We won't condone terrorists in our clean lands.

Fulani herdsman terrorists should look elsewhere.
Thanks.

Those blood sucking terrorists will not be accommodated anywhere down South.
Thanks.

you don't need peace to develop a country, you need equity and adherence to rule of law; neither is present in that country as of today.

Better to not even suggest we could give out an inch of land to herdsmen. They are roaming and committing havoc, what would then happen if they are stationed on a location. You will have a more regular forays and after a while their military base in the name if Ruga will grow strong enough such that they can match you force yo force..

My view is that it should be a No-No.

More dangerous than nuclear power plants in your backyard or neighborhood:
RUGA, Herdsmen Cattle Colonies or Grazing Reserves according to old histories has always turned to a Caliphate or (in this current situation) Local Government Area. If given, they will soon produce religious leaders then ask for their local government in a foreign and borrowed land, become indigenous people with time and dagger.

Ugwuanyi is an idiot!

That our president is a cattle rearer don't mean h should enforce cows to everyone!

if you do, it will be fine because you will be having indigenous herdsmen in your biafraland forever, federal government should replace nysc with ruga.
it will lay foundation for Fulani in Biafra, Odua Republic for ever, successions will then be useless, ruga will promote unusual unity by force with killer herdsmen

I am just waiting for the forceful takeover... It is then we shall know. ... Who is who

There was a saying by the racist colonialist
'To hide the truth from a negro, put it in a book'

Ahn ahn naaa


Its too early for long story naa
Nairaland abeg we the readers naa

Please give us the summarized summary of the summary...

But we have farmers in the South East; has the federal government provided land for their farming activities? This is another agenda of President Buhari's lead federal government to FULANIZEE and ISLAMIZE. I can see war looming

We can’t accommodate RUGA’ in South-East, South-south-Gov Umahi

by Ifeoma Okereke


The South East governor’s forum led by the governor of Ebonyi State, Engr. David Umahi has categorically joined other political zones in the country to denied members of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) of having Ruga settlement in the zone.

Umahi insisted that the zone including the South South have no plan for any Ruga settlement.

He however charged members of MACBAN to accept anti-grazing law established long time ago by the federal government in the northern region.

He cited that South East as agrarian region is faced with limited landmass and cannot accommodate any Ruga settlement. This were contained in a statement issued by the state governor and was made available to Journalists by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Emmanuel Uzor on Sunday in Abakiliki.

Umahi however reminded the Federal government to also follow the recommendations reached by the Technical Committee on Farmers and Herdsmen clash carved from the federal Economic council which he served so as to end the persistent herders and farmers clash in some states. He maintained that both members of MACBAN and the South East would achieve symbiotic trade of cow and grass.


“The zone is purely agrarian with limited landmass for farming and therefore can not accommodate Ruga.

“Umahi was the Chairman of NEC sub Technical Committee on farmers and herdsmen clash and he toured the states of Benue, Taraba, Nasarawa, Adamawa, Zamfara and two other states where he made in one of his recommendations to the federal government for revamping of grazing reserve in the North where all the cattle rearers in the South will take their cattle to and rely on the grass that are grown in the South”.

“The way it works is that the herdsmen will bring down their cows to the South East and sell us as meat while they will load the grasses which are grown here in the same trailer with which they transported their cows to feed their cattle in those grazing reserve which should be made comfortable for them.


“By this herdsmen are expected to embrace anti open grazing by returning to the ranches in the North and do their business on the trade by barter basis of selling cows to the South and buying grass to feed their cows in the North”, he insisted.

He further called for tolerance among youths of various ethnic nationalities to solve the problem of hate speech essentially among Igbo youths.

SOUTHERN NIGERIA MUST RESIST THE UTHMAN DAN FODIO EMPIRE THAT BUHARI WANT TO EXTENT TO THE SOUTH THIS 21ST CENTURY.

NO TO UTHMAN DAN FODIO.

If the Southern States of Nigeria accept this arrangement to have RUGA settlements, based on what we know of our collective history I think it will be safe to conclude and say bye-bye to our collective homes. I know the SS and SE will reject this and fight tooth and nail to ensure it does not happen but I can not trust its leaders, but I trust the average man on the street of the SS and SE.

I can equally trust the average man and leader in my region the SW, to accept this without question. It is sad to say this but I have to admit that these current crop (and even past) Yoruba leaders will put their bellies and aims above the welfare and future of their states. If this stands, it will be the beginning of the end. This is not fear mongering, this is not a rumour. This is happening right before our very own eyes. What we are seeing manifesting is the fulanis age long plan to takeover the whole of Nigeria.

This is what is on ground NOW.

Breaking News: Federal govt budget $11b to lobby SE/SS for land for the Ruga Settlement

According to the intelligence report received a few hours ago. Our agent said that the Federal budget about $11b to lobby SE/SS states for a land for the Ruga Settlement project. The states include: Anambra Abia Imo Enugu Ebonyi others are Akwa Ibom. Cross River. Bayelsa. Rivers. Delta. Edo. The states will share $1b each. It is said that the federal govt have three options to get the required hectares of land needed from the two regions.

According to the report the first will be to lobby (Bribe) the influential people in each state to help convince their people on the need to have Ruga Fulani settlement in the state and also influence or force the governor to release land for the Ruga project. The states will also be lobbied with ministerial appointment, board members into choice govt parastatals etc.

The second option will be to buy hectares of land from each state through a third party. We also learnt that the govt has met with some influential people in the affected states to begin looking for large hectares of land. Some traditional rulers are said to be involved the deal.

The third option will be to take land by forcing it on the people. This, they have done in Benue state. They will do it by creating chaos and division and disagreement among the people of the states. Which may lead to arm conflict. The government will then declare state of emergency and inviting the army and forcefully take over the states and create Ruga settlement for the Fulani

The intelligence reports also revealed that Buhari travel to Saudi Arabia immediately after the inauguration was to finalise the South west land deal with Saudi Arabia planned to hand over Buhari for the Ruga Settlement. You may recall that I once mention that the Fulani already got all the land they wanted from south west through Saudi Arabia

Bellow is the excerpt

Arab world headed by Saudi Arabia bought hectares of land in this state for Bio Fuel Agriculture. The states include: Ekiti, Ondo, Osun, Kwara, Kogi, Benue, Gombe, Bauchi, Zamfara, Kano, Kaduna, Nasarawa and Plateau, but now we know why they bought the lands. They bought the lands for future Fulani settlement because of desertification in Fulani states and countries in Africa and also for expansion of Islam. This is the reason the Fulani herdsmen cannot be stopped because they believe they are grazing on their land. The states mentioned above are the states Buhari govt wants to create Ruga settlement.

This game started long ago. Buhari was ordered by the Fulani world Council to make space for settling the Fulani as desertification encroaches. It is also in tune with their age long propensity for conquest, violence and political domination. It also is in tandem with radical Islam's jihad, which is being spearheaded by the same Fulani. Remember also his pledge that Sharia must be spread.

The Fulani attacks will bring two results. Gain more territories to resettle the Fulani and spread Islam and Sharia. The Fulani world Council is using prominent Fulanis in Nigeria like El-Rufai, Buhari, etc. to create a conducive atmosphere to resettle Fulani of West and Central Africa in Nigeria. Remember Buhari has been the main patron of the Miyetti Allah group since 1998.

These attacks started two years later in the year 2000. The first organisation that visited Buhari in Abuja and the first meeting Buhari held in Abuja after one month in office was the meeting with the OIC. The meeting was attended by all the heads of state from Muslim countries. No journalist was allowed to cover the meeting and what was discussed in the meeting has not been made open to the public, as we speak. Fulani and the Arab world colonisation of Nigeria is about to complete

South West the traitor,south waiste the double tongued,south west that ought to show strength of wisdom and direction among Southern states are have through antecedents of hypocrisy, eye service,back stabbing,reduced herself to object of ridiculous bunkum.



save for few leaders who have walked the new talked and have garnered respect from followership,the rest are never to be trusted.

too much of sophisticated knowledge, they claim,has robbed them of common senses.

a whole law professor acting Dundee,errand boy,with all his be a good boy role,he has mortgaged the safety n trust of his very own people in that he has lost trust homewards

same with others,if not why would south east n south south 'restructure' itself away from SW.If this impression is not checked,like child's play twill be seen so in history of tomorrow

Why excluding SW

9jaunite:
Why excluding SW

follow history of political trends in Nigeria, you will see that SW is happily pitching tent with North,n so we wish them happy political romance

bangbangall:
South West can do that but we the South South and South East is a big NO.

South West has bigger land mass, and long history of cultural exchanges with the Fulani. Oyo, Afonja and Alimi history is the most prominent.

Yoruba (particularly) Oyo State can draw experience from their encounter and perhaps find a way to get it done. If any Southern state can pull this Ruga craze off, Oyo is it. Osun state another that can easily host a Ruga. Aregbesola did all the ground work while he was the governor. Finally, Governor Fayemi of Ekiti state can also tempt fate by undoing all the anti-open grazing works of Ayo Fayose. He's the number one promoter of Ruga, let him put his money where his mouth is. Perhaps others will learn from him.
