Well, given the negative reception, the settlement is better limited to the North.

What will Southern Governors do when herdsmen continue to bring their herd over? I will like to see that

Do you know that Easterners can decide to go into cattle rearing if you decide to inflate your price? I have that vision already. So please keep your cows in your North. We don't want trouble from those children of perdition.

Pls be quiet in your ignorance.meat is a billion dollar industry around the world. Go and ask brazil

I don't normally insult people but it seems your stupidity will need me to caution your loose mouth.
Yes meat business s a multi billion dollar business in Brazil.

Just take a look at African countries that are even doing better with cattle what is the developmental input they had without modern day ways of keeping those cows. I won't change your perception about it because you're already a normadic in thinking.

However, that is not to say we should not help you out. Some of you just wake up and type nonsense online. And feel free to I shot other as if you have the monopoly of doing that.

Why should one man's agriculture disturb another man's own. Ask yourself. How many of your village people have been killed since this senseless act started mostly farmers and has the government comes to agreement that cows cannot just be grazed on people's source of livelihood at will?

Has the government caught land for those in poultry business. Piggry, goat rearing etc. Why the attention on cattle.

I pity you because you will soon become a refugee in your own country they way you're thinking. Go to a good school you won't. Stay in class you won't and see what normadic education has caused your thinking. Wake up. Brazilians don't kill because of cows everyday. They don't act barbaric too.

Even the North should not allow Ruga settlements. The Jos I knew in the early 90s / early millennia used to be probably one of the most peaceful places on earth, but look at what fulani herdsmen militias have done to the place, and they don't have Ruga yet. Same thing, the Benue I use to hear of was about promiscuity, not insecurity, but look at what Fulani herdsmen militias turned it into today, and they don't even have Ruga settlements yet. Imagine what will now happen when Ruga settlements are in place. These Ruga thing will be nothing but sleep cells for terrorists that will later be used for violence and war against the original settlers. I'm not a political person, just a concerned citizen that can see beyond his nose. Any Northern state that allows Ruga is only laying the foundation for ISIS-backed terrorists to turn the North into another Caliphate, and the Christians there better speak out now, because their plan is to wipe out all Christians and Churches in the North, while retaining Mosques and Muslims in the South. Look at what happened and is still happening in the middle east, from Iraq to Syria to Yemen to Lebanon,they have wiped out entire Christian populations, taken over their lands, destroyed their Churches, captured people like the Yazidis etc, killing their men and turned their wives and children to sex slaves that they sell in their black markets, all in a bid to end Christianity in the Middle East. Ruga settlements may look innocent now, but the truth is giving them Ruga in 11 states, means they are giving the Fulanis 11 states out of 36 states in Nigeria, because only a matter of few years, the Fulani militias will take over every state they settle in with violence and terrorism. They are different from Hausas, hausas are more peaceful, Fulanis are like Arabs, they have a war mentality, the only reason the Hausas were able to coexist with them peacefully and stylishly was because the Hausas yielded to them and intermarried with them, so as to prevent mass murders and systematic takeover of their lands. No to Ruga, and if APC implements this programme in any state, then they should forget about 2023. God punish devil.

Thanks for this

Now ilorin is predominantly hausa/fulani community.

God bless Niger Govt for speaking the truth..Buhari should stop chasing shadow over this matter..his makemba dance can't be entertained .

I think this is the first sensible government official that has said it as it is. The only problem is government pumping money into it is a waste.

They need a policy reform that would attract businesses to invest in ranching. They could give a cut off day for open grazing. Say two years after which any cows roaming around will be confiscated. In that time businesses that see an opportunity can set up ranches to absorb the cattle for a fee with all facilities. The herders need to start understanding that business is about resource usage and allocation. This freebie doesn't make sense. Will they be taxed to recover these funds? If not, the it smirks of entitlement and is not sustainable. Will they allocate money every year for them?

If it were hausas they are most welcomed they are peaceful but Fulani they are the other way round I still believe that tribe or whatever was forced on Nigeria, we only know three major ethnic Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, which one be Hausa/Fulani ?? those set of people think backward and are just too crude and violent in nature

How much meat them they consume what the SW,SS,East consume alone, bro they need the money the mist the owners of the cows won't wait till customers come to them bet on it, the best thing is to follow that mans advice and also provide a well functioning logistics for them, rather than scattering them all around there by creating more room for community unrest

I hope the rejection of this Ruga has shown Buhari how much Nigerians dont trust him aswell as how sharply he has divided Nigeria along ethnic lines. It was never this open in the past.

While he creates the Ruga in the North, with the national common wealth of the whole nation, states that have rejected it should be given grants aswell to enable them solve conflicts in areas that have affected them like he is trying to solve that of the affected North.

That way, which ever group dares to draw the attention of the govt by destruction of their properties/amenities would always take note, others get likewise equal, to suit their various needs and grievances.

Niger State government has said the Northern states have the potentials to accommodate the federal government’s Ruga settlement plan.

Ruga settlements are conceived by the federal government to address the incessant clashes between farmers and herders in the country.

In an interactive session with newsmen on Monday in Minna, the Secretary to the Niger State Government (SSG), Ahmed Matane, said: “the North had the largest land mass in the country with greater portion largely untapped.”

He added that Northern state governors, in collaboration with the federal government, should put the land into judicious use through the Ruga settlement initiative.

He said the initiative could look at the possibility of reactivating the structures already put in place by the defunct Northern Region government through the many grazing reserves that abound in the North.




According to him, most of the reserves had been gazetted with already developed structures but abandoned.

Matane added that they should be rehabilitated and upgraded for use, pointing out that the ongoing discontents over the proposed settlement were needless.

He said, “Bringing the nomads together would end the conflict thrown up by the struggle for space. The Ruga initiative would lead to development and enhancement of livestock value chain.”




“Livestock development is a big business. The value chain is enormous and will attract huge foreign exchange for the country. Leather alone is a multimillion naira business and in the ongoing diversification drive of the federal government from oil to agriculture; livestock subsector could be the key flagship,” he explained.

The SSG said Niger State had already taken the lead through the rehabilitation of the 45, 000 hectares Bobi Grazing Reserve in Mariga local government area.

According to him, the present administration, under the leadership of Governor Abubakar Sani Bello, would expedite action towards promoting pasture development for Pastoralists at the Grazing Reserve.

He explained that the settlement of Pastoralists at the Grazing Reserve would turn nomadic Pastoralists into mixed Farmers who will take up crop farming to supplement livestock farming.

What crap is Ruga and how it take concern middle belt and the South? Some people have been pushing us to the side since 1960 and think Nigeria is their bloody fathers property. Mine be say, the fly has been feeding on the wound with impunity let no one cry if the fly is swat to death, a stich in time saves nine. Buhari over to you.

You're right. They're up to something. Since they have the largest land masses, using irrigation to enhance crops, they should use irrigation for their verse land up North.

Fulani are Normads/Migrants that conquered the Hausas a long timeago, the Hausas accomodated them and slowly they grew in numbers and took over the Emirship.

Aren't you surprised that most of the Emirs in the North are Fulanis, it's not coincidence but a calculated and we'll thought out plan.

now I gave a clue of what Buhari is trying to do, By scattering them all around in the name of Ruga people must fight against this with their lives if not we are all in deep shit there is nothing like watin concern us in this all the geographical zones that is not under the north must speak out against it, this is a dead on arrival idea,
