Calabar – The Hausa/Fulani community in Cross River has appealed to Gov. Ben Ayade to allocate a portion of land to herdsmen in the state in order to enable them graze their cattle. Mr Sani Baba-Gombe, Leader of the association in the state, made the appeal on Wednesday in an interview in Calabar.

According to Baba-Gombe, the land if allocated will put an end to the crisis between herdsmen and farmers in the state. He said that the land would help the herdsmen to stop encroaching into people’s farmlands in search of food for their animals. He said that one of the main challenges facing herdsmen in the state was a grazing land, hence the need for the state government to come to their aid.

“We use to instruct our people to always ask for permission before entering into any land to graze. “If I were to be a farmer, I won’t be pleased if any cattle come along to destroy my crops. “If a grazing land is provided, the animals would not stray into farms and this would further prevent any future crisis between herdsmen and farmers in the state. “All we are appealing for is a grazing land that is different from the farmlands; this would help us to stop encroaching into people’s farmlands in search of food for our cattle. “We have also sensitised our people to always have a good understanding with their host communities’’, he said. He further said that herdsmen in the state were tired of moving their cattle from one place to the other in search of food for them, hence the appeal for a reserved land for them.

Let see if it will work?, but the problem is we can't meet our import demand of dollar. Crude Oil crash affect all Oil producing nations, Nigeria includes. Nigeria is worst for importing petroleum an essential commodities consume millions of dollar to finance.

Buhari should just look for a way to stop importing petroleum products.

See Nigeria, no reserved for survival by Deutsche bank.

devaluation would av been the short time best solution while the administration of PMB will tighten the belt on the neck of the looters...it will give pmb enough time to bring about his economy restructuring and policies of diversification, the masses wouldnt av suffered but now its a little too late

franciskaine:

Keneking:
Amazing clarification

Toks2008:
your last line justifies the position of Nigerians who were against the move.

BishopMagic:
In describing the Nigerian Middle Belt, Wallace (1902) observe:

"In Nassarawa country, a once fertile and populous province, one can only view the remains and ruins of large and totally deserted towns, bearing witness to the desolation wrought by 100 years of internecine strife and slave-raiding by the Fulani."
(W. Wallace [1902] quoted in Sciortino 1920:5)

Today, nothing has changed!

Deal with that. That's how you would be hating on a man who's old enough to grandfather you while others are progressing in life.

Ghost01:
The last sentence in your comment reminds me of these lines in Colleen McCullogh's The First Man In Rome:

"What was life except the procreation principle and what was death save its extinction? All else are decorations - the furbelows men invented to convince themselves life and death must mean more."

We're in the era of Smartphones so it's worth a try making your device
have more features than other devices of the same model. I'll drop a
list of apps that'll make your Android device smarter.
1. Assistant Ai
This app is one of my favorites. It provides you with a virtual assistant
that helps you with many tasks. You can name your assistant and
change the looks. I named mine, Stephanie. So when I say or type
"Stephanie, Check my mail" - she automatically opens my mail. Here's
a list of some things my assistant can do, yours can also do the same.
Turn On/Off Wifi
Turn On/Off Bluetooth
Check my mail and send email
Update my Facebook status
Tweet
Book A Flight
Make Reservations
Search For Places
Open Websites
Calculate simple MATHS problems
Check live scores
Find new movies and songs
Check movie details
Check Breaking News
Play Music
Open Apps
Read and send SMS
Set A Reminder And Alarms
Make Calls... AND MORE... I won't drop any more spoilers, download
the app and find out more.


https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-mjc2S4fJ9TA/VxZjnhL7AhI/AAAAAAAAEHE/gWcoSByXm6I/s640/%25255BUNSET%25255D.png

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-NbeUAfQVvhI/VxZj0roqPcI/AAAAAAAAEHI/DV63-_s3GnU/s640/%25255BUNSET%25255D.png

Normally a default mobile alarm goes off when you stop it but with the
assistant , it'll definitely bug you till you wake up. She works well with
an active Internet connection. You'll still get alerts for your normal
reminders and alarm without Internet connection if you've set it
previously online.



2. CS Scanner
This app practically turns your smartphone to a portable scanner. You
can scan any documents on the go directly from your phone camera.
The only issue is that the quality of the document scanned depends on
the quality of your camera. I'll recommend devices with camera of 8
mega pixels and above



3. MusixMatch
Gone are the days when you hear a song you really like and you don't
know the name. It's always annoying if you really like the song and it's
playing on a radio but you can't download it because you don't know
the name. MusixMatch eliminates all these problems, All you have to
do is turn on your data connection, Open The MusixMatch app then
Click On Identify lyrics. Place your device near the source of the song.
You'll get all the details of the song including the lyrics. Sounds cool
right.. you're becoming a geek...

4. Shazam
Shazam is almost like MusixMatch. It's basically almost the same
thing. Just that it has a totally different UI.



5. Moboplayer.
This app helps when you're watching your favorite movie and a
WhatsApp message pops up, and you don't wanna turn off your data or
You're chatting with someone special and you also want to watch a
movie at the same time. All you have to do is play the movie with
Moboplayer, minimize it then continue what you're doing with you're
phone. The movie should appear in a small box on your screen. I
recommend using a device with at least 1gb of ram if you want
this app to run without glitches.

6. MalMath
This app solves mathematical problems and shows you the full steps
and working
used to solve the problem. Students can use this to study.. From
Differentiation To Algebra and Trigonometry and other more... All you
need to do is to type in the equation. It can also plot graphs. So this
app is a must have for every student.


https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-cFo_DRLknkM/VxZkPWt8ztI/AAAAAAAAEHg/lsrdVtxWn50/s640/%25255BUNSET%25255D.png

7. Photo Math
It does the same work as Malmath, however Photomath brings in one
Unique feature. You can simply scan the equation with your camera
and it'll solve it for you


https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KF8PZ0SIQhQ/VxZkKzk3RJI/AAAAAAAAEHU/sETGNSkgvmU/s640/%25255BUNSET%25255D.png


https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-gi49NIOkt1M/VxZkM9VnFZI/AAAAAAAAEHY/ooHCg_ZR3yQ/s640/%25255BUNSET%25255D.png

It is a matter of both email etiquette and best practices.

Here are five key ways to improve your email etiquette, get your emails read, and spark action.

1. Keep it short.
I believe it was Mark Twain (correction: Blaise Pascal!) who said, "If I'd had more time, I would have written you a shorter email." Regardless, keep your word count low. Just as you keep your tweets under 140 characters, keep your best emails under 150 words. (For comparison's sake, this column runs about 700 words.)
Here's a master example. If you ever have a complaint about Amazon, you're welcome to email Jeff Bezos directly, at jeff@amazon.com. If he in turn thinks it merits a response, he'll forward it to relevant employees with a single addition--a question mark--which according to author Brad Stone, prompts recipients to "react as though they've discovered a ticking bomb."

2. Be direct.
Get to the point. Delete adjectives and adverbs. It's very unnecessary to add many additional words that make your most important emails seem overly lengthy. (See what I mean?) Otherwise, you risk "tl;dr."
If you can't follow rule No. 1 and keep your emails short, at least include a brief summary at the top, and indicate whatever action is required. (In the Army, we called this a "BLUF" statement--bottom line, upfront.

3. Reply quickly.
Last year, Snapchat CEO Even Spiegel tweeted some of the first emails he'd traded with Mark Zuckerberg before turning down a reported $3 billion takeover offer. Most interesting from these is how short and fast these introductory messages were.
Zuckerberg's first 46-word email came at 6:23 p.m.; Spiegel replied a half hour later with 19 words (plus an emoticon). Zuckerberg replied again with 14 words just three hours later. Even though the deal didn't come together in the end, there's a clear lesson: When something is important, reply fast.

4. Reread before sending. And do it twice.
Speaking of emails that weren't supposed to be public, when Steve Jobs died, one of Samsung's top sales executives emailed fellow company leaders to suggest seizing the moment to attack the iPhone. Within a month, they pounced with commercials mocking people who waited in lines for new Apple products.

While it was a smart strategy, it looks a little skeevy now, which is probably why these emails are marked "Highly Confidential--Attorneys' Eyes Only." You can read them here. The lesson: Reread your emails before sending them--a task that is much easier, of course, if you've kept them short to begin with.

5. Add the address last.
You may have noticed that I have a very common name. (I'll wait here while you scroll up and look at the byline on this article.) A few years ago, I was negotiating to buy a company, it turned out that one of the top executives of the target company actually had the same name, with only a middle initial separating us. As a result, some of the people on their side of the deal kept cc'ing me by mistake on confidential emails in which they talked about their negotiating position. (I let them know, but it kept happening.)

The deal didn't work out, but it led me to learn an important lesson: Make darn sure that you double-check the addressees on any important email you send. Even better, don't address an email until you've finished reading and editing it. There's nothing like accidentally hitting the "send" button too early, and firing off your unfinished thoughts to an important business contact.

Mathematics is all around us, and it has shaped our understanding of the world in countless ways.

In 2013, mathematician and science author Ian Stewart published a book on 17 Equations That Changed The World. We recently came across this convenient table on Dr. Paul Coxon's twitter account by mathematics tutor and blogger Larry Phillips that summarizes the equations. (Our explanation of each is below):

Here is a little bit more about these wonderful equations that have shaped mathematics and human history:
