A former Governor of Bauchi State, Mallam Isa Yuguda, has condemned the profiling of Fulani herdsmen as criminals.

In an interview with journalists shortly after his revalidation as a member of the All Progressives Congress, at the Destination Bauchi Hotel, on Monday, the former governor said Fulani herdsmen are being treated unfairly in Nigeria.

He said herdsmen, who have provided the country with a minimum of one million cattle to slaughter daily, have been neglected by the federal government over the years.

According to him, if the government could release huge sums of money as subsidies in agriculture, why can’t the government subsidise pastoralism?

“The neglect of the Fulani especially the cattle rearers who are presently giving Nigeria a minimum of one million cattle every day to slaughter and take as beef, their treatment by the Nigerian people have been most unfair,” he said.

“Most unfair in the sense that, at the time when Lord Luggard finished conquering northern Nigeria, they were the only source of revenue. They provided the revenue that jumpstarted development in terms of monopolizing infrastructure in the north including Benue state where they have been chased out now.
‌
“They are pastoralists, they are people who provide beef for the country and you can see them as agricultural ventures or animal husbandry. There have been billions and trillions of investments in agriculture, in the forms of subsidies for fertilizer and so on, have you ever heard the federal government subsidizing pastoralism?

“What I am saying, in essence, is that the Nigerian state has not been fair to these people. When the white man came, he respected them because they were his source of revenue, not only that he provided cattle routes from Maiduguri to Otukpo, from Sokoto to Lokoja and Ilorin and these infrastructures were provided by the white people.

“So, let us stop being sentimental, for goodness sake, otherwise, this country will crumble and it is crumbling in your hands, and I am afraid, you the press are the people creating these problems. You have to save this country for yourselves, you are the young ones, or else, you’ll inherit no country,” he said.

Trash!
1. His claim about providing us with one million cows is flawed because the people eating those meats pay for them. If I pay for it, then I can always choose who to buy from.

2. As for the subsidy of farm inputs, under ranching they can have their animal feed subsidized too as against subsiding only cow business and leaving other animal breeders to buy feed. That's not subsidy but a competitive advantage that's anti market. They did it with Dangote.

I think this man is high on something or his brain is malfunctioning.idiotic fool

Rubbish!

Yes, nobody can deny the contribution of cattle rearers to the like other economic activities such as farmers, traders, transporters, teachers, etc. The right of herdsmen to earn a living is as important as the right farmers to earn a living. So the allegation of unfair treatment to Fulani herdsmen, in view the current problem, is a bit hypocritical.

What is unfair treatment in farmers asking Fulani herdsmen to respect them and their farms? What is unfair treatment in host communities fighting to protect themselves against acts of kidnapping by Fulani youths?

Dear Isa Yuguda, the fact that Fulani herdsmen have refused to adopt modern and more profitable cattle ranching is the root-cause of this whole problem. Worst of all is that as the world changes, local Fulani people still builds their life around cattle rearing.

Unfortunately, Fulani politicians like you as well as professionals and civil servants are simply too selfish and too focused on their own children to lift local Fulani folks through scholarship and empowerment programs. Instead, you buy cattle and enslave them to grow them for you to sell and make more money while they continue in their drudgery.

So because of your flimsy excuses they should be allowed to go about killing and kidnapping innocent people abi?
Do you know what other region brings to the table on a daily basis. Be very careful, Mr mallam.

Ok we have read .

Can they now stay in the northern region where they won't be mistreated...

If force and massacres fail, try blackmail?

That's why they are licensed to kill at will while the government of day looks the other way ?

God will judge all of you !

Ok

Are they giving us their beef free? They want to do their business at the expense of others. Those farmlands they set their cattle to graze and plunder are also the businesses of others. What those herders are doing is criminality, short and simple.

This guys are crazy ahswear

E NOR GO BETTER FOR THIS JESUS YUGUDA

Above all, don't lie to yourself

Bubu reading this post now will be like

All these northern governors and so called leader are the same.Now it can be confidently confirmed that apart from the president's tactical support, many of them are also responsible for all the evil being perpetrated by the killer fulani. Divide this useless country.

The federal government should as a matter of fact, subsidize dollars for igbo spare parts dealers, Yoruba lace dealers and chemical importers, and other tribes dealing in one thing or other. Useless Fulani fools. They all think Nigeria revolves around them.

this one wants money
