Alhaji Bafarawa, Are you sure?

Mr Lai and Burutai would have different opinions to this..

Yet u blame ondo gov for giving herdsmen ultimatum, u want Buhari to do something about the insecurity in North but u expect southerners to do nothing about the kidnapping/killing on their own land? Hypocrites

Garbage Sheu and Co are happy...

And moreover this fake news everyone is happy with Buhari cause Nigeria is now safe like Heaven..

That is their problem

Ftc

Nope! No insecurity any in the north because Buhari have long secured the north hence everywhere is safe.So this is fake news meant to tarnish the government.Yet they said people should not complain against the atrocities of herdsmen? No Bleep given for una.

no be them vote for am,let them enjoy their change and stop disturbing us

You people are mad, isn't buhari the best thing to happen to you guys anymore?

North is safe o

Bafarawa stop this Taqiya,

Na where una go create North West Development Commission for looting niger Delta una dey find

On a real note, the north is gradually becoming like Syria.

Every sort of insecurity is now there.

Before it was claimed that the east is hq of kidnapping. But now it's the north.

Banditry, Herdsmen and Boko Haram. And to imagine that 92% of the country's defense budget goes there is abysmal.

''North is safe''

So they say, until they all die like fowl

Don't be deceived, it's a win for them

They raise an Islamic jihad army, their leaders fund it with part of their Niger Delta freebies.

They appropriate 92% of the the country defense budget to the Jihadist croonies

They appropriate a special development agency to themselves to get free Niger Delta money.

The leaders gain from financial gratification

The average followers are happy, their participation via silence helps them fulfill their jihad-taqiya obligation to allah.





They have used this method in North-East, they currently using it in North-west the next is to ask for special development agency

So, why are you threatening Father Kukah who said the same thing

Lol...and who is the cause of notherners problem?

Barrister Jiti Ogunye writes...

"The right to freedom of movement and the right of the citizens of Nigeria to reside in any part of the Country guaranteed by the Constitution do not vest in citizens, indigenous or non indigenous, the right to trespass on private, communal or publicly acquired and controlled lands or forest.

Every land in Ondo State ( and in virtually all the other states in the “ Federation “ of Nigeria ) is owned by individuals, communities, villages , towns , sub-ethnic groups or the government ( Federal and State Government). Indeed, the lands that were acquired and controlled by the government, under the old Public Lands Acquisition Act or the extant Land Use Act were acquired from aboriginal and indigenous communities.

Compensation was usually but not always paid by government for such acquisitions.

This implies that government itself recognizes that there are no “ free, unowned, unpossessed lands “ within the boundaries of Ondo State.

There are no free forest zones anywhere. For the forest reserves that are owned by the State Government, people ( including indigenes ) may not lawfully hunt for games or carry on logging activities therein without permit. It is criminal to do so.

There is a “ Forest Guards Department” in the Agricultural Ministry that enforces restrictions and disallows unauthorized entry!

The forests are owned by peoples and government of the State.

This being the case, it is indubitably an act of trespass ( criminal or civil ) for any herder or non- herder for that matter, to invade the lands, possess same and carry economic activities thereon; either of a nomadic/ itinerant kind or permanent type .

This is why individuals, communities, villages and towns engage in land disputes, including court litigations .

The right to freedom of movement and settlement do not permit a herder to constitutionally migrate from his part of the Country but to unlawfully settle on another’s person’s land temporarily or permanently.

For example , cocoa farmers from Ondo State cannot lawfully, while exercising their right to freedom of movement, go to Katsina State, clear large expanse of lands in any community, and without buying or legally acquiring the lands, start planting cocoa seedlings there ( assuming cocoa could be cultivated and plantations could flourish in that State ).

The other issue , however, is that of criminality and armed banditry, including kidnapping , ransom harvests and murders of innocent citizens in the forests. In Ondo State, there are people of northern, eastern and southern extractions who are lawfully and legitimately working as farmhands and labourers on the farms and in the forests.

With the permission of their hosts, they settle in the farms with their families .

No order has been made for their “ expulsion “.

The indisputable fact is that some non- indigenes have taken over or substantially infiltrated the Ondo State forests , including foreigners ( Malians and Niger Republic Citizens , posing as Fulani Herdsmen) Unfortunately, some rogue elements associated with the herders have been found in the past to be amongst the criminals.

The pretext or alibi used in invading the forests and staging violent kidnappings therefrom is that they are herdsmen.

To extirpate this excuse, the State has a bounding duty to order these “ herdsmen “ out of the forests. In any case , cattle breeders look for grazing fields to feed their cows ; they do not adamantly insist on a continued occupation of dense, rain forests.

Only recently, when government or military officials were giving reasons why some farmers were killed in Borno State by terrorists, it was alleged that the farmers went to their farms , under the shadow of a raging war, without securing security clearance or permit to return to the farms .

This indicates that for security imperatives , farming may be prohibited or suspended. If this could happen , why, in your “ humble view “ will a responsible state government not have the power to expel “ armed herders “ from its forests to protect the lives and property of its people .

Doesn’t the Constitution provide in Section 14(2)(b) that the “ security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government “ ?

The problem of insecurity has lingered for so long because there are a certain class of people benefitting from it, rather than face the problem squarely, The government spends more energy in trying to stifle criticism than they spend on solving the many problems bedeviling the nation, very quick to label any news not favourable to them as fake news, spreading disinformation using their paid agents especially on nairaland, these paid agents are always quick to jump on any thread to spread their disinformation. we know them, no need to mention names. The failure of government in previous administrations to handle the boko haram insurgency at the earlier stages has led us to where we are today, but this time its even worse.
Armed robbery, kidnappings and all forms of insecurity have multiplied within the last few years. the lack of action now will have serious consequences in the future. Unfortunately, we as a people lack the will to select qualified leadership, we are always blinded by tribalism and religion instead of voting in the most qualified people, some even sell their conscience by collecting money to vote on election day. The leaders know that the people/system will never hold them accountable.

Who is dis bafarawa... Northerners are very happy...... If they can make a law that only northern soldiers should fight boko haram kidnappers and bandits.... And Southern soldiers should fight militants... We will have peace immediately

Truth to power


Highly recommended this time

Iffa hear... Why are norther governors giving the bandits money

those benefiting from insecurities are complaining because of the competition.

they are now competing with covid 19 for the scarce resources

It will never be well with you guys.

I don't care if the northern part is happy

Oga bubu and oga Lia say una dey in good hands

Don't be silly, you iPob man claiming to be from Sokoto

How can you say the Northerners are not happy over insecurity

The North is safe! There are only pockets of bandits, who are actually Nnamdi Kanu and his ipob members. There is no Boko Haram as well

Stop saying such to our competent Rtd general who has led from the front since 2015!!!

That's a big lie.....

The true northerners who are donating their kids to the banditry course are very happy... infact,they see and celebrate banditry and terrorism like salah festival....

Na now their eyes don dey clear small small abi

The same thing they took for granted has now come back to haunt them...

Is Bafaraw related to Lai Mohammed Because, north is the savest place in Nigeria.

But if a Christian or southerner says it MURIC and the rest of u will start jumping up and down as if it's not true.
