delishpot:
It ties her down. She said he is free to see his child but OP says child belongs to the man. So what does that do to tiwa? Should she leave the child and go? She has stated that he has access to his child recognizing his rights as a father towards his child. What more should she do?
Child belongs to both parents. This is why I advice parents to collect #1 bride price so if the man starts forming I spent my money to marry you, you just slap his face with his yeye bride price and kick his ass out.
No be force Na. She wants to move on let her be.

Don't mind scully95. Does Tbillz look like someone who can take care of a 9month old child? He does not even come across as willing to handle or acept the burden of cleaning pee and other things right now at this stage.

So as an adult i have to sing for my parents.

Oh !! there are some boys parent send money for diapers even after marriage though.

[size=13pt]In your own case, perhaps it should be "Can your children sing it in front of you?" or "Or would you like your younger bro to teach your children the song?"
But your response here is so unintelligent. All the time you were living with your parents and you sometimes sang what you wanted to sing, where you actually singing FOR them? [b]Or did they hear you because you were living under the same roof?][b][/size]

what I heat now is that wizkid had international recognition. because wizkid has this recognition does not make his music good. What does wizkid sing an about if not girls.

And I think Nigerians are bringing themselves down. do you guys think dat Americans threw praises at drake when wizkid ft him in ojuelegba remix. then why should we over hype wizkid because drake ft him in a track that I did not even hear his voice?

I miss the wizkid of pakurumo and I want that wizkid back. if we continue praising him he will continue singing songs with vulgar lyrics just because he wants to be famous like lil Wayne.

yes lil Wayne is famous. but can you sing his song in front of your parents?

pls Nigerians stop over hyping wikid

"Can you sing his song in front of your parents?" I like that one but the same goes for other songs and singers whom we elevate to influencer status in our society.

I think this is a very succinct way to take the energy out of the words of grazing bill proponents for they will see there is no need for it if private businesses are taking on the tasks of building ranches in their states

1) To provide meat for the populace

2) Proving their proposal is baldadersh

The energy to say the words will fade away from their lips before they have a chance to say them like the early morning mist before the coming morning sun

Politics › Allegation!! Cattle Grazing Bill Proponents Are Behind The Fulani Terrorists by coolscott(op): 4:26am On Apr 29, 2016*

[size=25pt]Updating Info...
[/size]
[size=13pt]Question 1:
If the killers are not Fulani, how will creating grazing reserves for the Fulani (in my state for that matter) stop the killers from killing?[/size]

[size=13pt]Question 2:
National Assembly member Sadiq Ibrahim, who proposed one of the bills quotes the land use act as saying "Subject to the provisions of this Act, all land comprised in the territory of each State in the Federation are hereby vested in the Governor of that State and such land shall be held in trust and administered for the use and common benefit of all Nigerians in accordance with the provisions of this Act", claiming that the land in Bayelsa is for the Benefit of the Fulani also." When it says "for the use and common benefit of all Nigerians" which Nigerians should benefit and at the expense of which Nigerians should the identified Nigerians benefit?[/size]

[size=13pt]Question 3:
When the Land Use Act was enacted, were the involved stake holders consulted before making such a sweeping act? The stake holders include all the ethnic entities in Nigeria, big or small, which traditionally hold land. Where was the public hearing to examine the law meant to serve the public held? Is it not true that the act was the product of the actions of a military dictatorship? Is this not the reason why it has been said the act MUST be reviewed now in this democratic era?[/size]

[size=13pt]Question 4:
What is the logic behind desiring to seize lands in States that are non-Fulani states for Fulani Nomads when the Northern states have much more vast lands than our smaller southern states [color=#fff]if this is not an ethnic group promotion agenda?[/color][/size]

[size=13pt]Question 5:
If this is not some ethnic agenda that counts heavily on the stupidity of a vast majority of the nation, how come you say "Don't worry about the guns the killers are carrying. They wont kill anymore. In fact Fulani do not kill. Let us forget about who has been arming them. Let us forget that even without sharing boundaries with Agatu, they attacked and kill the people. Let us just go straight to the part where we create reserves for the Fulani in your state, because trust me, if we do not do that... then remember the killings that have just taken place and know that this is the only solution"?[/size]

[size=13pt]Question 6:
Is it not more logical as a lawmaker to be more interested in ensuring that the already existing laws that make the crimes of murder, rape and arson committed in Agatu are fully enforced instead of groping in the dark to legislate what will amount to a big nothing if any gun-carrying men decide to attack Agatu again?[/size]

Politics › Re: Terrorist Fulani Herdsmen Release Video Claiming Links In Govt (old video) by coolscott(m): 11:35pm On Apr 28, 2016

[/i][size=25pt] Interestingly, I just posted on another thread that I suspect the people behind the Fulani herdsmen are the same people behind the anti-grazing bill.

It is sad that it was actually true, those things said about Buhari and an intention to Islamize the country.

Personally, although I voted for the other side, I refrained from saying Buhari wants to islamize Ngr because I thought that allegation fell within the category of campaigned-inspired allegations which typically surface for the purpose of the campaign

It is e-x-t-r-e-m-e-l-y disappointing to see that this was true.

Instead of bringing the folks to book they say the solution is to build grazing reserves in my state for strangers because some of them killed innocent people for no just cause.

Now, without refrain, fear or favour, I personally declare that I am deeply ashamed of president Buhari.

He has already taken our country at least 8 years back (while failing to execute apparent progressive things that should take us forward like successfully passing a budget).

Politics › I Feel For Fashola by coolscott(op): 9:07pm On Apr 26, 2016*

[size=13pt]When I saw Fashola on the presidential campaign trail., I could not help thinking he was making a mistake.

He was disparaging the YOUWIN PROGRAM carried out by the last administration as a raffle program (when he personally was aware it was not). That was actually fraudulent. Although he was wrong, I understood that it was in the frenzy of attacking the opponent in the heat of the elections that he did that. Also, the crowd in front of whom he was speaking were the uninformed kind that could buy that.

But that is not why I feel for him.

I feel for him because I feel he should have supported the APC the way Mu'azu supported the PDP. When M'uazu did not like the way the PDP was disparaging PMB, he did not associate himself with that. He just simply quietly took the back seat because he was not down for it.

Now, Fashola deserved the the APC ticket above Buhari. Since he did not get it, he should not have stuck his neck out for Buhari or the move for Buhari. I have said before that if Buhari does badly, it will affect Fashola's career because he will be seen as one of those who drove and fuelled the failure Buhari turned out to be. So he should have played it safe. Be with his team but not stick out his head too much such that the public lumps him in the same basket with the short-comings that could occur. After all, he still had a great record in Lagos state he was just coming out from.

Now, everyday, it is becoming harder and harder for Fashola to extricate himslef from the disfavour this clique he has so seriously emmershed himself in is earning from the public.
Mu'azu, on the other hand, cannot be called an APC sympathizer by his PDP comrades. He played it safe. His colleuges just know he thought they were taking it too far calling PMB things like "braindead" etc, etc.

I supported GEJ fully in the last elections because although I knew an alternative would be good for the country, I knew Buhari was not at all that desired alternative. But it might surprise some to know that it would have been hard for me (as a Niger deltan) not to vote for Fashola if he had the APC ticket because I believed in his ability to pragmatically take on tasks and execute them.

However as it is now, I think his value as a possible candidate in the people's minds continues to diminish as he is part of the current flayling administration, enthrusted with 3 big ministries (one ministry in tough times is hard enough). And maybe because he has 3 ministries instead of one, he is not doing so well with the big troublesome one, power, which he said it does not take rocket science to fix.

Now with the disgraceful position of the government as Fulani herdsmen ravage the country, his sense of judgment will get questioned even more by some of his people who might wonder what the general wisdom was in supporting PMB, who from all evidence has stood by his position to sponsor Fulani terrosism through the power of presidential silence.

As more people get angry and dissatisfied, Raj Fashola sits, in the middle. of an increasingly unpopular administration, saddled with 3 ministries, failing at them, and no doubt feeling certain that he would have been a far better president than the tragedy that president Buhari is becoming.

For this, I feel for Fashola. Because his career stands the chance of never being the same again[/size]

Nothing justifies the excesses of these murderous lots. They go to people's lands and they wish to lord it over the land because their cattle must eat grass? haba!!

I also think these atrocities go beyond herdsmen and the sooner communities exposed to these dangers take up the case themselves, the better.

fiizznation
Don't mind him. Have they given any reasonable excuse for their attack on Agatu? On TV when they had a resolution-seeking meeting, the Benue elder reminded us that they don't even share boundaries with Fulani herdsmen. He asked if they had had any prior problems with the Fulani that should warrant attracting such atrocities from them.

When the Fulani leader came up to speak, he said the people who carried out the attack were not the normal Fulani and that they were criminal rustlers, who also attack them too. That was all. No mention of any prior provocation from the Agatu people.

Politics › Re: FLASHBACK - Buhari And Co Confronts Governor Over The Killing Of Fulani Herdsmen by coolscott(m): 6:45pm On Apr 26, 2016

[size=13pt]
NaijaEfcc:
Alhaji Lam Onaolapo Adesina,Oyo State governor from May 29, 1999 to May 29, 2003, passed on to glory on Sunday, 11, November, aged 73 years. Lam rose to the pinnacle of all his callings in life. He got to the zenith of his career as a teacher; as a social crusader, he got state recognition and was tagged a ‘prisoner of war’.

Politically, he did not only realize his ambition of becoming the governor of his state, he achieved the extra ordinary by installing a governor, not while in power but eight years after he had left office. Since Sunday, torrents of tributes have been pouring in from various quarters all extolling the virtues of Alhaji Adesina . He has been described in many superlative words, establishing the fact that he was a great man.

But how great really was the husband of the benign Alhaja Sarat Adeola Adesina? As his Chief Press Secretary while he served as the governor of Oyo State, I will transmit a story of how he disciplined a former military Head of State and prevented what could have led to the Nigerian second civil war. It was on 13 October 2000, when words went round that General Muhammadu Buhari was leading the Arewa team to the governor’s office to confront the state over alleged killings of Fulani cattle rearers in Saki, Oke Ogun Area of the state.

Buhari did actually telephone the governor that he was leading a team to his office. In less than 30 minutes after the general informed the governor of his visit, we noticed that the entire secretariat was already filled with lorry loads of our brothers from the North. This created some tension but we kept our calm. At about 2 p.m., Buhari arrived in a long convoy at the governor’s office in company of the former governor of Lagos State, General Buba Marwa, Alhaji Aliko Muhammed, Alhaji Abdulrazak and Alhaji Hassan. They all wore long faces.

In fact, the anger in them was palpable as all pleasantries extended to them were ignored. “This is trouble” was the expression on the faces of all of us in the governor’s office. Shortly afterwards, the state Director of State Security Service (SSS) and Commissioner of Police arrived. But their presence did not change anything particular on the fears that had already gripped majority of us. The two security chiefs did not come with any operatives, they came almost alone. Late Lam Adesina Photo NAN The meeting was called to order after Lam walked into the Executive Chambers. Introductions over, Buhari spoke on their mission to the governor’s office.

Emitting fire, the general accused Lam and the government of Oyo State of complicity in the killing of over 68 Fulani people in Oke Ogun area and perversion of justice. His words: “Your Excellency, our visit here is to discuss with you and your government our displeasure about the incident of clashes between two peoples… the Fulani cattle rearers and merchants are today being harassed , attacked and killed like in Saki. In the month of May, 2000, 68 bodies of Fulani cattle rearers were recovered and buried under the supervision and protection from a team of Mobile Police from Oyo State Command. “

That some arrests were made by Oyo State Police Command in the massacre with their immediate release without court trial. This was said to have been ordered by Oyo State authorities and they were so released to their amazement. The release of the arrested suspects gave the clear impression that the authorities are backing and protecting them to continue the unjust and illegal killings of Fulani cattle rearers…” According to the general, they therefore wanted immediate stoppage of the killings, justice and compensation to the Fulanis.

As weighty and indicting as Buhari’s allegations were, Lam remained unperturbed. He fired back with his own well coordinated arsenals. Lam identified all the points raised by Buhari and simply asked the heads of the organizations directly involved to respond to the allegations. First to speak was the Commissioner of Police who debunked all the claims. Instead of the allegation that the natives were killing Fulanis, the commissioner said pointedly that the opposite was the case. “

The killing of the natives by the Fulanis was duly reported to the police and, of course, we can’t make arrest because, as soon as they kill, they migrate to other areas. Who are you going to arrest? That is the problem”. On the killing of Fulanis, which he said was as result of “piled up anger”, the commissioner disclosed that arrests had been made and the suspects were in police custody. Next was the Director of SSS, who equally debuked the allegations by Buhari. “The natives don’t have problem with the Fulanis who are resident but those who are coming in, they don’t care about anybody.

They just go ahead and when they graze the natives farms, whoever cares to challenge them runs into trouble. You said 68 people were killed , and people driven away. I am not saying there were no killings but they cannot be more than five. The petition is on the harsh side, there is nothing like that.” Not done yet, Lam called in his Deputy, Barrister Iyiola Oladokun; his SSG, Chief Michael Koleoso, both from Oke Ogun, and the chairman of one of the affected local government areas, Mr Ademola Alalade. They stated the true position of things, corroborating the submissions of the security chiefs. At this point, all the tensions and apprehensions evaporated. Trust Lam any day, he must rub it in. He spoke for about 20 minutes and the generals were at the edge of their seats for the entire period.

They were like chicken that had just been thoroughly beaten by the rain. Lam said: “ Before I thank you for this visit, you have come to tell me something. I also want to tell you something and that something is to make an appeal. General Buhari has been a former Head of State, Brigadier Marwa has governed Lagos for some time and with credibility… so you are national leaders of this country. Even though, by accident of birth, you are from the North, you can be born anywhere; may be next time when I am coming to the world, I will be born in the North or the South-South. “My appeal will be that effort must be made to unite this country and that will be ïn the best interest of all Nigerians. I am appealing to the Arewa Consultative Forum, under which auspices our distinguished Nigerians are here; in recent times, they have been sending wrong signals to a number of us who believe in the unity and peace of Nigeria; you have been too critical of the efforts of the Federal Government. I am saying this because Nigeria, at this point, cannot afford to break and the words you northern leaders utter are very weighty, at the South here, we normally analyze them critically”.

On all the allegations, he said: “From what they have written in the petition, this government is completely blameless because we don’t interfere either with the judiciary or with the police functions. I always preach peaceful co-existence in Oyo State and Nigeria as a whole.

We are all Nigerians and that is what we have been preaching all along and we shall continue to be Nigerians , no matter the present or immediate problems which will be solved by the grace of Allah. “I want to say also that we really have to appeal to our people, the itinerant Bororo people, that they should observe less aggression. It is not good , it is not right just coming from somewhere then you just pass through farm lands cultivated may be with the person’s life savings and then over night everything is gone. That is not right, even Allah does not approve of that. We even wonder when they talk about this people carrying dangerous weapons, I say do they really believe in Allah? When you just take life like that and go away! Are we not forbidden not to take human life? So I think General Buhari, General Marwa, you have to be educating them… It is my pleasure to inform you that at the Presidential Lodge, we have made some arrangements for refreshments so that before you go we can refresh together”.

Buhari and his team did not wait for any refreshments. They came in angry and left bewildered. ADIEU! GREAT LAM!

PS: I think this is a damage control strategy by the government. They are trying to remedy the president's image regarding his biased silence on Fulani herdsmen rampage, killing people with reckless abandon. They should show us the arrested 92 herdsmen with their arms if they want us to believe them. We are not falling for this ediotic propaganda.

[size=13pt]Besides, while what the army did is right and what is expected,
arresting herdsmen in Abuja is not as important as arresting the situation in Agatu and elsewhere in the south.
What are the actions taken in the areas these people have invaded?
In those areas where women, men and children were murdered even though those people have never shared a boundary with Fulanis ever.
Announcing this falls far short of expected action on the situation in Agatu.
This report states that the owners of their ancient lands in Agatu are still displaced and that the rains are coming.
Guess who is occupying the rampaged places now?

joborskill:
By provision of grazing fields, the fulani's will be restricted to graze on an apportioned land provided by the federal govt. It will be a crime for them to graze their cattles on people's farms once the bill is passed into law. We should not castigate every fulani herdmen as killers because of the few bad ones among them. The incidence in Agatu and other parts of the country were perpetuated by cattle rustlers and not Fulani herdsmen. Cattle rustlers are armed terrorist who steal cattles from herdsmen and graze them around the country as a cover up for their terrorist acts. The ordinary Fulani herdsmen are peaceful people and will never harm innocent Nigerians. The fulani's do not move around with weapons but sticks to guide their cattle.

cc: fulanimafia

mulatoclaro

dearpreye

[size=13pt]When the bill is passed, you say, it will be a crime for the cattle herders to graze cattle anywhere else.

But Wait a minute. I thought it was already a crime for people to kill other innocent people, unprovoked.

Isn't it the right thing to clamp down on the known/identified culprits?

Okay, some gun-carrying herdsmen don't have respect for our already existing laws and you think creating a grazing bill will suddenly make them start respecting the already existing laws which makes killing people a crime?

If these people are rustlers and not Fulani herdsmen, then we do not need any new laws or bills to protect the honest Fulani herdsmen. We just need to enforce the existing laws that has made what these killers have done a crime and then we will be truly one sane Nigeria, knowing that when crimes are committed, and the perpetrators are known, they will be made to pay for it.

Some killers kill around and instead of bringing them to book you say "we therefore now have to allocate lands to the Fulani in every state of the federation".

How sensible.[/size]

whirlwind7:
Ignorance is really a disease.
In this day and age, one retarded fellow is talking about natural resource. Kindly ask yourself, what good has natural resource contributed to the poor masses in Nigeria and Africa?
Except for the political class who have direct access to the wealth derived from natural resources, how has the average denizens benefited from it?

In this case, you talk about oil in the Niger Delta region. Are you too stewpid or too blind to realize how the poor farmers and fishermen in that region have become destitutes due to oil spillage and environmental degradation?
Has your crude oil bettered their lives?
Has it given them better healthcare facilities?
Has it helped reduce maternal mortality and increase life expectancy?
Has it helped bring your people well tarred roads and portable drinking water across communities in the Niger Delta?

If you are an educated youth, with access to the internet and you can follow developments in the western world, yet make this sort of arguement, you should apologize to your parents who wasted scarce resources to give you an education. You have nothing to offer.

Europe is developed today, and yet they have very little to absolutely no resources compared with Africa and Nigeria. See how China has rose to conquer the world today? Is it because they have so much crude oil or gold or diamonds?
Of course not. Development today is driven by HUMAN CAPITAL. This refers to the ideas and potentials enlightened people can come up with that would bring about massive and positive changes.

Mark Zuckerberg and the massive wealth and employment he has created is a product of human capital development.
UAE has become a major player in the Middle East. They diversified from oil, and focused on other areas of development. Their greatest asset today is the quality of human capital they are able to attract from across the world. That dusty desert of the past has become one of the world's leading tourist destinations today. Your political leaders go their to lavish your oil money and come back home to have you lick their ass to boot!

Human capital made the USA a world power, not their natural resource.
If after reading this, and you still chose to swim in your crude oil, then your hopelessness is beyond redemption. I want you to remember that Nigeria was a great country until crude oil was discovered. Crude oil made us to stop using our brain, which was our greatest assest. And that greatness was derived from human capital....the humans who used their expertise to develop agriculture and trade.

After the devastation from the civil war of 1967 to 1970, the entire Igbo land was left in ruins. Now look at the little developmental strides they have been able to achieve, without government intervention. Onitsha, Enugu, Owerri, Awka, Aba and so on, can stand proud when you compare them with other major cities and state capitals. Did these Igbo states get larger allocations from crude oil after the war? In fact, all the millionaires in Igbo land were reduced to paupers after the federal government confiscated their assets and handed them £20 each. With their bare hands and their brains, they built themselves up. THATS WHAT HUMAN CAPITAL DOES. IT MAKES YOU DEVELOP YOURSELF AND YOUR ENVIRONMENT, RATHER THAN BEING A BURDEN TO YOUR ENVIRONMENT.

Lack of human capital development has depleted the north, and now, they are looking to converting the south to grazing reserves for their cows. It's the same resourceful human capital that helped Igbos rose from the ashes after the civil war decimated them. And here you are, thinking that a proud and self recognized Igbo nation needs crude oil to survive! You get sense at all?

Your problem isn't what Biafra wants or doesn't want. Your problem is absolute ignorance.
Wake up and smell the coffee. Your software hasn't been updated since the 80s. Perhaps you hope to be a future leader of your people someday. Focus on crude oil just like your past leaders did, because you have shown you got nothing else to work with.

[size=13pt]I believe that the oil wells and gold mines now lie in the minds of men but I also believe the Igbos agitating for Biafra have not yet mentally developed beyond the snatch and grab mentality.

The only people in Nigeria that seem to be making strides in the shift to mental wealth are the lagosians, El-Rufai with what he is doing in Kaduna, some business people that span across the tribes and perharps the gov. Cross Rivers state.

I say this as a Niger deltan fully aware that I cannot claim the folks in my state (Rivers State) and other ND south-south states have made the mental shift from the emphasis on physical resources to mental resource. The emphasis has remained firmly on physical resources just like the uncourteous Igbos who might have been dragging Kogi state into their Biafra struggle if the oil was found northwards of them rather than southwards[/size]

banki:
You guys make me laugh
He goes to the west you complain
He goes to Arabia you complain
He goes to China you complain

The article above is ridicolous especially the part where you said the bbog suddenly found their voice as if you don't know that this week simply marks 2years

You guys should continue wailing

[size=13pt]This is not about wailing. Can't you see that whether we have a PDP or APC government, these people are always involved in Nigeria? They don't like GEJ or PMB or anybody. They are always after "Who will do what we want? Who will serve our interest." They had hopes on Buhari but he disappointed.

They always have hopes on new administrations but every new administration tends to ultimately resist them.
What you have said here suggests you have not been informed at all on the US' covert operations within foreign countries.

It would seem the scope of what you see is APC vs PDP.

Find the book, "Confessions of An Economic Hitman" written by John Perkins, a confessing former American "economic hitman"
Or search for it on google.

FFK was not particular about any tribe. He only specified the Fulani and the rest of southern Nigeria, which includes the west. He said everyone should be ready to protect themselves so they will not be caught unawares since the federal govt doesn't want to step in and protect its citizens

enlightenedmind:
U.S.A Is not a a Nigerian ally. We invented the "Look East Agenda". So u believe U.S.A likes u? They support the PDP corrupt environment because while it starves everyone else in the country it benefits them and a few Nigerians. And seriously anyone supporting PDP is really selfish.
AFRICOM is camped on ur Yobe borders, ICC is here sniffing around. Go ask the Syrians, Libyians, Sudan, Iran, Iraq how they now live with their "Ally" the U.S.A.
U can enslave ur child if u like. I am not enslaving mine.

"The forces arraigned against us are powerful operating at all levels of economic, political, social society.

[size=13pt]It is truly not about the PDP or APC. Somehow, because of the tussle of the last elections, we have divided ourselves along those lines. But really, this is not how we have approached voting public office holders prior to the division along party lines the last presidential elections resulted in.

I remember I was told by someone sitting with Ya'r Adua and Jonathan back then how Ya'r Adua rebuffed all the West's attempts to get into our system.

Yar Adua was PDP.

I supported Goodluck Jonathan last elections not because he was PDP but because the alternative was just really bad. If Fashola was the flag bearer for the APC I might have voted him and without a doubt (without even thinking too hard about it) if Ibrahim Shekarau was the flag bearer of the APC, I would have voted him.

It has always been about the personality for Nigerian voters and the "which is the best or most manageable of the lot" approach.

It is the same with the Americans. They care less if it is a PDP government in power or not. All they care about is... "who will cooperate with us?"

When one leader "misbehaves" they discredit him or fight him covertly. The Americans did not like Yar' Adua as I was informed.

Goodluck was better but he was not a very good co-operator. Didn't cooperate enough. There were high hopes of Buhari being able to play ball that is why, it is alleged, the campaign strategy group in charge of Obama's [/b]campaign in 2008, who invented the [b]"Change" mantra for them in the United States was employed in Nigeria here also and interestingly, the social engineer identified that the same mantra was perfect for our society and the situation on ground here.

Whether their gamble in supporting Buhari would pay of was a totally different matter. Right now, it seems they have finally accepted that the man is going off on a tangent on his own. He is neither listening to his own people, nor is he listening to them. Indeed he is for everybody and for nobody doing only what he (Buhari) ultimately thinks is the best, making alliances with Iran, Islamic countries, Russia and China. So they definitely will get peeved.

So when they cry about him, it is not for our interest at all. It is actually in pursuit of theirs.

Dottore:
[size=15pt]That fridge was most likely imported as a personal effect and as part of a group ship freight so the owner stocked those items to maximize the utility and to save cost he/she that might have incurred by air cargo. [/size]

I think it is either propaganda or for real.
Doubt that it is part of a group shipping thing because I see an electric jug on the top of the fridge

[size=13pt]This situation further solidified my lack of respect for many a Nigerian mind as they are complaining now when they had so passionately earlier supported this.

The thing is it was clear to see that this was a terrible mistake and I didn't think it really took genius to see this.

Everything the anti-buharists said in the heat of campaigns seems to be coming true. If it was other things coming true, it would be different but it is the very same things they predicted about the president and our country that are playing out here and there now.

People who towed this line range from well known professors (like Soyinka and Prof Utomi) to colleagues and classmates whose minds I had previously placed a higher premium on.[/size]

Adminisher:
There are proven advantages to open range grazing. It is the preferred method in the US. Even in germany, cattle farmers are adopting some limited open grazing practices to improve the health of cattle.

[size=13pt]Do you think I do not know what open range grazing is? It may surprise you to know that animal production and health is the course I studied first in University.

Why do you think open range grazing is the same thing as nomadic grazing?

It actually crossed my mind to make the distinction.

What they need is established ranches (in the north) with HAY SUPPLY

AND WATER SUPPLY
AND VET OUTREACH
AND OTHER LOGISTICS LIKE :-

FENCEs AND POWER, + MINI MILKING stations

They will find it increasingly harder to drift too far away from guaranteed water for their cattle
and animal health care, etc., etc.
Remember ranches don't move around

[size=13pt]Check out the world's greatest beef producers, Nigeria is not among them even in spite of our numerous herdsmen. The Nomadic method of producing livestock is not in any way an improved way of producing beef or diary products. What are the merits of growing cattle the nomadic way that all of the nation should sacrifice for that?

Or that any individual for that matter should expend resources trying to establish it over better methods?

Indeed, what are those special benefits that anyone should expend limited resources in trying to sustain it over more improved methods, or worse still, in trying to foist it on other people's lands?[/size]
