Giving out funds to indigents is one thing, stipulating by law that only indigents are allowed to participate in such programs is another thing, they are not the same

I asked you to show us where any state or the FG stipulated that only state indigents are entitled to participate in such programs

There are over 30 skills centers in Lagos state and the state government supports graduates with loan facilities regardless of their state of origin.

You cannot compare Lagos state with another state in Nigeria We're culturally diverse every ethnic group is duly represented in our civil service and even during Ambode's tenure we had commissioners from different ethnicities.

Preach Deo.

Unfortunately, the youth of Nigeria are averse to reading and critical thinking.

Another Herdsman spotted

deomelo:



You are talking about LG with established population of indigents so was the state supposed to ship in indigents fro out of state to collect same benefits?

Your analogy was flawed and illogical, we are talking about a FG funded project with access to Nigerians from all over Nigeria to invest and participate for the benefit of all.


...and if you are not interested,you are free to say not and move on, just like the states in many parts of Nigeria have don, including the SE and SW while the interested states have established their RUGA.

People are acting crazy and berserk as if the FG is sending the army to their village to take over their land and force them to participate.

But you gave the impression that States across board don't consider indigeneship when rolling out empowerment projects!

Since RUGA is voluntary and some states insists on not participating in it, why are some disgruntled elements angry about it and threatening? Why are you calling those States incompetent if you are not angry with their NO? They owe no one explanation because No is a complete sentence!

Like El-Rufai said earlier, the North is way behind the South on development and spread prosperity so don't cry for Rivers State, have the RUGA project in the North and sell the meat to the South.

deomelo:
Btw, are the RUGA rejecting states coming up with their own brilliant ideas and alternatives? No, they are not because they are incompetent, they can not deal with complex issues so they abdicated their responsibilities to hide under public noise and hysteria instead of enlightening and educating their people.

Wike is boasting and spewing ignorant, bigoted and illiterate rubbish against the North as if he's hurting them, no, he's hurting his own people.

Rivers state's unemployment and the misery index rate is the highest in Nigeria, a major segment of his youth population are cultists and jobless, but as the second richest state in Nigeria, this is a golden opportunity for him to put his people to work and make money at the same time.

Right now, you are losing money because herders are grazing free of charge on your land and you can not do anything about it and to even show how dumb and stupid these governors are, the cattle owners return the same cows to your states to slaughter and consume and ship the money back to where they came from tax-free all off the same land you are boasting that you won't donate when in fact you've donated the land already free of charge.

Ode penny wise pound foolish.

No wonder nearly all the states in Nigeria are poor and can't stand alone without FG allocation, these governors are too dumb and incompetent to manage ordinary toilet.

why so bitter ,Mr fulani man

Codes151:
You foolish sha! So people dash land like that?

I want to open pharmacy means govt must time me land? So ruga cant bE practiced in one state? Well., we have no space now! Ask us next 100years

Hundred years is not enough for this their entitlement mentality,and also not enough for them to reform Their backward culture.

Raising cattle is expensive and not environmentally friendly.
Land apportioned to cattle could be better utilize in more productive and environmentally friendly ventures.
We need to start thinking beyond the box.
Again the Nigerian situation is very delicate and political...
Why is the FG favoring cattle to other forms of agriculture knowing the sorrow tears and blood it has brought.
I suggest we use our land for far better things which we could export and in return import beef and milk.
Pigs take much less and produce more meat in shorter time with less impact on environment.
China is the biggest importer...in fact pork is the most eaten meat worldwide.
Then we have poultry.
Our posibilities outside cattle is limitless

deomelo:


They did not ask the states to provide land for heardsmen from the north or other states either.

They want states to volunteer and donate land for the national livestock program for them to develop and allow investors from anywhere to invest and set up livestock business including grazing, animal husbandry, animal clinics, meat processing and packaging businesses and generate IGR at the same time.

This guy what is really ur problem?
Just look at how u are twisting urslf and ur words just to justify the RUGA nonsense.
Pls spare us those psyching cos we are all in this country and we understand what the FG really want and meant.
Stop twisting it.

baralatie:

how do you distinguish the herdsmen from kano from the herdsmen from taraba and that from niger

Na northern governors wahala be that

You guys should go back and read businessarenaa post. The Guy just explain everything well. This guy ranting here just strategically avoided responding to his post

MetaPhysical:


The ruga plan was strictly for fulani.

Radio fulani was intended as part of the ruga settlement programe.

Surprisingly I have not heard anyone blame Audu Ogbeh, the Minister of Agriculture that drafted the plan.

WE know the Fulani m buhari planned it, whoever sits in the ministry of agriculture is a stooge

deomelo:







The Agric minister proposed The National Livestock Transformation Plan (NLTP), not RUGA.

It's ok to call it Fulani this and Fulani that, but it's still not true because it's not a Fulani program and they are not forcing any state or entity to participate.

We just love to waste time and energy over nothing.

So pls who proposed RUGA?

Olorunnim:
ABI oo Lagos Wey no reach one local government for north na I'm dem one come? I would invoke all the gods of my Family on Tinubu and buhari if i see dem for hia

My dear
From one local govt to another takes up to 6 hours or more in some part of the north, that 6 hours will take you to almost all star in SE.

No be only ruga mtcheeeeeeeew

Since January u have been begging money here

Sterope:
Non-Hausa
Non-Fulani
Non-Muslim but too much sense.

Which sense?

kerzhim:

Exactly why we are so backward when it comes to infrastructural development.

We are so impatient and always jump into conclusion at the hearing of government policies and ideas.

Out of ignorances, pessimism, tribalism, hatred and political differences, Nigerians have adopted the habit of rejecting policies and ideas that's tend to better our livelihood.

What is RUGA settlement?

lomprico:


So u think he actually drafted the plan?

Buhari has been nursing this plan since 1999.

1999?

Did he become a Fulani in 1999?

You know because you've talking about it, or just Google.

I don't know, the FG's plan that was approved back in January bey the NEC was NLTP.

bendike:


Thank you sir. Majority in the south wish to be ignorant and "deny ourselves of great economic development and opportunity". We appreciate your concern.
Kindly locate the ruga settlement in the Northern nigeria. When we want cows we will invest in cow business in ranches. Any body is invited to come, acquire land and raise his cattle in a ranch strictly as his personal business. Just as you have chicken and pig farmers.

Receive sense.

Which economic development has Fulani n their cows brought to northern Nigeria?

ohh lawd

for crying out loud what is Ruga?? why do you want to give Land to Fulani people, having known how violent they can be.

Think of the future, how would it affect our various communities. and our unborn children

Good

Umahi has said all cows should return to the north and cow owners can buy grass from SE and transport it with trucks to the north.

you see, they have the landmass yet they still want to take from South.
what do they want, ?? just to conquer the South esp the west

They think they are smarter!

deomelo:




They manufacture lie and tales to suit their predisposed hatred and tribal mentality.

Hatred for who?

Empiree:
even with this they (fed) still make sense. It is SW ppl that need to be smart enough to invest in livestock business if they don't want fulani to occupy them. But instead, many SW want "office job". They are so lazy and don't want to get dirty. There is nothing in your write-up that said the land should be donated to fulani herdsmen. Too much misinformation flowing around. I support federal government initiative. You have so much barren lands but make no user of it. If you can't make use of it then donate it to govt for investment.

What is RUGA?

Must cows graze? Can't theses cows be house on a land and their feed brought to them?

PrecisionFx:


What is RUGA?

whatever it is, another fulani presidential candidate (Atiku) made the same proposal. Did you watch Atiku interview?.

deomelo:



The FG and even the states cannot set up any program or business with government money and confine participation strictly to that locality or indigenous, that's discrimination and against the Nigerian constitution. It is illegal so that's totally out of the question, but you are free to show us where such was done in any state or at the federal level.

Lagos state cannot establish a business with state funds that other people pay into via taxes and say the only indigenes are allowed to participate or benefit from.

NLTP/RUGA is an open program for every Nigerian and investors from anywhere to participate in, if you are a pig farmer, a goat farmer, ostrich farmer, whatever kind of animal farmer you are, the program is open for all, not just herders.


People just don't read, they follow and consume distorted info, rumors and anti-government sentiments.

The herdsmen caused their debacle so they should not be surprised. Killing, maiming people up and down and u expect people to have them as neighbors?
Nah! Not after what they did to their hausa host, benue and every other hotspots. Imagine them threatening other tribes and still expecting them to host you. Smh.

The solution has been mentioned up there. Every interested state create ranch
