The Senate, on Tuesday, rejected fresh moves to create grazing routes for cattle rearers in the country.

The upper chamber also resolved to raise an ad-hoc committee to organise a national summit to probe the lingering issue of farmers/herders’ clashes in the country and come up with recommendations for further legislative action.

The resolutions were sequel to the Senate’s consideration of a motion on the attack and killing of residents in Omala Local Government Area of Kogi State allegedly by herdsmen.

The motion was moved by Senator Isah Jibrin (APC, Kogi East).

The Senate, which observed a minute silence in honour of those killed in the area, mandated the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to provide relief materials to those affected in the local government and now living in IDP camps.

The Senate, however, rejected an additional prayer by Senator Mohammed Tahir Monguno (APC, Borno North) who sought the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security to create new grazing routes in the country as a way of resolving the issue of framer/herder clashes.

Senator Monguno called for the creation of grazing routes to prevent cattle from grazing into farms to avoid conflict between farmers and herders.

In his contribution, Senator Ahmed Lawan (APC, Yobe North), said, “There is nothing wrong for the federal government to provide subsidy for herders who have lost their cattle to rustlers.

“This is a security issue as much as it is an economic issue. We should say it as it is because we are looking for solutions. We must continue to protect the lives and property of our citizens, which is the essence of governance.”

Grazing route is a plot for islamization. Fulanis are not yet done with Nigeria.

Nice on3

No grazing routes

Cows are not the only animals that eat grass. Goats, sheep, rabbits eat grass. Why the special treatment for cows?

Nigeria should not be dragged to 1658 because some minority have decided to be stubborn and are resisting to change archaic lifestlyle that doesn't fit in this modern era.

Good riddance to bad rubbish

The last time I checked cattle business is a lucrative business and people own the cows , why can't the owner of the cows buy land and rear their cattle's just like the way we rear our goats, pigs and the rest.

Hmmm!!!

Buy, lease or rent land like other normal human beings. Why the need for this grazing route and ruga of a thing ? It's why I will never trust these people no matter what they say

The senator said that herders should be compensated for cattle lost as a result of cattle rustling. What about the lives and properties lost as a result of cattle grazing,
How much to compensate for cattle rustled and how much will now be paid for lives lost as herders kill farmers.
Well sha it's obvious the monetary compensation for cattle is more important than lives lost.
Let me help the senator to suggest a N100 000 for each cattle lost and a N100 000 for each life lost. But I know the senators will argue that the amount for life lost is too high as cattle is more important than humans.

I'm a trader. Govt should provide us trading routes too

This matter no dey end .
islamazation agenda by the fulanis dead on arrival the real reason they want military take over ..

There is enough land in sambisa, let them create the grazing route there

All dis for just a tribe that's not even up to 8 million?....the special consideration bin given to just cow breeders is alarming. Imagine if other tribes are known for other animals like sheep, goat etc....nq everyday wahala be that

GOOD NASS. TIME IS UP FOR MACBAN, FULANI HERDSMEN AND BMFBOKOISWA. IT IS TIME FOR SERIOUS RANCHING HUSBANDRIES. NO MORE CATTLE ROAMING HERDSMEN.


Orisa37.
NASS IS CIRCULATING.

See wetin a 🌽🌲 corntree stil dey debate on for this 21st century 😳

They shld also give goats 🐐 their grazing routes


Herdsmen
D'nt pay taxes,
D'nt buy land for gazing,
D'nt purchase food for their cows.

Yet cow is more than half a million 🤔🤥

Grazing route! In this era! When you have your place of residence?

Of all the national problems bedevilling this nation @ present, all someone deemed of importance is the issue of re-introducing the vexed grazing routes issue? Nigeria is truly a screwed country.

Let them stay in the North with massive landmass.

Useless people. See what they are after when Hungry wan kaput us

Why can't they buy land and graze their cattle ? Cattle rearing is not a fundamental human right. It's a business.

So they should conduct their business without entitlement

Wayre n gbogbo yin

Wicked çabals

I’m trying to understand the reason people individual businesses will make it to consideration at the senate. Are those cows not owned by individuals or are they owned collectively as our national common wealth ?

The owners of the business can’t get ranches for their cattle rearing business. Why this waste of our time in the country with useless conversations. Pig & chicken dealers will soon request for their own rearing routes, even groundnut sellers too.

Website developers, we’re also demanding for designing routs across the country, about about rice sellers and so on. Madhness and confusion everywhere

The problem of Nigeria is the NORTH!....Then our greedy thieving politicians!

You can emerging a former senate president ooo.Senator Ahmad Lawal is soon dull.You are debating over scores of people just killed by fulani herders in kogi and the next best thing you could suggest is to give subsidy to the same set of killers.....

Which subsidy will now be provided to the family of those killed by herdsmen or whose farm was destroyed

I don't know if embracing modern methods of rearing cows is forbidden in Nigeria

Fulanis are not giving up yet on their expansionist agenda through the backdoor, how can we be discussing grazing routes in 2024 when most of the world has moved to mechanised agriculture even in Islamic countries that are basically desert?

Thousands of citizens have been killed by Fulani militia to force our hands into creating RUGA and the FG has failed in its responsibility to tackle the issue, meanwhile over 50 soldiers are blockading Banex Plaza Abuja for several days after a fight between traders and soldiers on illegal duty while 40 citizens were slaughtered in Plateau State on Monday by Fulani militia without soldiers anywhere to protect them

For 2024 wey human beings never see road pass, una still dey talk about road for Malu...... The fulanis should stop moving up and down again and adopt ranching..... The elites amongst them do go abroad, do they see cows moving up and down d streets.....

if not farmers-herders clashes won't stop, because most of them take their cattle to graze at night, and in all my yrs in Nigeria, I've not seen a fulani man that will openly admit that it was their cows that entered your farm until you put poison down for d useless cows
