You are correct fulani are NOMAD OR Pastorialist who are moving from one place to another looking for grass?
But modern day reality has overtaken that cultural practise which seems to suggest that herders have to adopt modern method of animal husbandry such as ranching.
You can not move to another persons land all because your culture permit you to do such.
That is TRESSPASSING and it is a punishment offence under the law.
Besides it has led to clashes between fulani herders and famers leading to killings of farmers and destruction of property.
That is a serious breach of the peace in the land.

ntyce:
Very funny that Anambra and Imo state governors are not interested in passing such laws.

AnanseK:


I agree with you about the need to modernize animal rearing away from open grazing for many reasons including the ones you listed.
But people are creating the impression that Fulani herders are there to confiscate and own land perhaps as certified owners, which is not true.
In the past the nomads had country owned land mapped out for them to graze their cattle. Government owned land, not farms or individual privately own lands. This was interpreted as common good , the same as the government build roads for people move with their goods and to travel in conducting their businesses. In those days , cattle tax was paid to the Government per head of cattle.

The impasse about rearing of cattle can be unraveled and dealt with sensibly for the benefit of all, if the goodwill was there. Threatening fire and brimstone by politicians just to impress the masses cannot be the way for progress.

The outright ban on open grazing in specific sections of the country, and without any national plans for herding animals will, rightly or wrongly attract economic retaliations. There is wisdom in discussions and building a consensus.

AnanseK:


But they don’t want to face meat embargo. You must look at the repercussions.

And the North May send back the millions of your traders and employees in the North.
You can’t destroy other people’s economy and expect no retaliation.

We know the Real betrayers of Southern Nigeria

Their allegiance is only to greed and loyalty only to money

Since the days of tafa Balewa.. all through out history, it has always been Fulanis over south, yet when it back fires they insult Yorubas for their greed

Atleast now they won't blame, Awolowo, Tinubu and Osinbajo this time when history start repeating it self

smallsmall:


The other point is that these "Elected Governors" have no respect for the people that elected them and think once in office, they can do whatever they like, most to better their own pockets.
What Southerners need to do is to "speak the language that these Governors and their family members understand, to them".
As a Governor, you cannot jeopardise the safety and life of my family, just so that you can get Fulani money or be in the good books of Bull-hari or for your Political ambition, l will not accept it, even if you guide yourself with a million, gun-wielding terrorists.

People like Gov Obianno has sold his sold to fulani Herdsmen and does not care about how many Anambarians are slaughtered by the Fulani Terrorist Herdsmen, so why should we care about him or his family members, wherever in the world he is hiding them?
We take the battle to them, even outside of Nigeria.
Pikin wey say him Mama nor go sleep, himself must not even attempt to doze!

BigRocky:
The biggest problem of the south is not the north,their biggest problem is disunity!

Look at South East governor's taking different stans on a bill which wen passed into law will drastically reduce the activities of terrorist herders in the south...

This same Biafrans set up ESN, what has your useless dog eating tribe done to curtail herdsmen killing. Stupid Ekpaiton. Ogbun nkita

And you expected educated illiterates from the south on nairaland to understand that?
I'm even interested in knowing what they will be doing to Fulani herders and their cattle who are going to be caught or arrested when such law is eventually passed. Season film

mamaafrik:
The SE needs to reduce the ego and selfishness.
It's not enough to always blame the Yorubas or Awolowo for their downfall.
They are the main cause of disunity in the South in the 90s and now,the Hausa-Fulanis can never sell their birthright like we have in the South.
We must wedge the minorities and Middlebelt away from the North.

captainamiedi1:
South east has always been the Judas but they are the first to claim victims. Right since 1966 they have always gone against general accepted laws for their own interest. This is the reason I warn every other south south against forming allegiance with them. They are worse than the northerners

stanluiz:
I agree with your first paragraph.

But your last paragraph is no no no for me. Nothing Concern SE with SS and Nc with thier bondage with the north.

It is the SS and Nc that will fight and free themselves from the Bondage of the north.

FG gave the SS 2.5% PIB, yet no representative from SS challenges the bill including their Lawmakers in the NASS. It means they are Ok with the North.

If you are from the south west . Fight your own battle. We in the east will not ally with never ally with any region to free any minorities.

It will never happen.

mamaafrik:
typical thinking of an ibo man,how do you feel the North maintained the one voice they always use ??

Lovenorth:
Fulani herdsmen are Nigerians so they should be allowed to do their peaceful business anywhere in Nigeria without discriminations

stanluiz:
They maintain it because their slaves in the SS has assured them that they will never support the division of Nigeria and Igbo will Conquer them and take over their land and oil incase if Nigeria divides.

You can now see where the problem. Every body should fight their own battle. I don't think the south unity will work. Because SS , SE and SW are still suspicious of each other.

The three region has different ideology. They are not like the north that speak with one voice.

So Everyman should fight their own battle.
