These are some of the things Buhari should be channelling his fast-depleting energy towards instead of chasing phantom oil and gas in the north.

Technically . .

The news headline is a paradox. They were burnt "beyond recognition", but some-fraudulent-body were able to identify them as Fulanis.

To me the Miyetti Allah guys just clothe some of their dead victims in Fulani robes, burnt some them in the face, and feed the press with the Fulani herdsmen narrative.

agwom:

It will control the arbitrary spread of ranches thus making it easier for good policing. The policy will further create about 322,000 direct new jobs across the country and it's estimated to generate over N1.2 trillion as annual revenue for Nigeria.

The govt does not need to involve in cattle colonies if it has no hidden agenda. All the points raised are achievable without govt's interference. Let the 'imaginary ranch' owners group themselves the way they normally contribute towards their periodic genocides act and establish their own cattle colonies as businessmen.

They forgot to tell us how much IGR and how many jobs ranches will create but were able to put a figure to their evil cattle colony idea. Even if the colonies generate the whole national budget as revenue, the herders/cow merchants don't pay tax.

It is an evil policy meant to give control to the populous and backward thinking folks. They have that control today and the Fulani issue is just one of many off-shoot of Federal Character principle.

My take on the Tiv/Fulani struggle that has gone beyond the farm settlement is that;
1) Crops done go looking for animals it is the other way round.
2) Cows have market value but Humans are priceless.
3) Cows hardly go after germinating crops but the advanced crops - a sign that the enroachments are well calculated
4) Herders can't justify the arms they carry as crops or the owners don't move from place to place.

Once they brainwash n convert, they make the she adopt their state. We are not strong enough for some laws yet.

How come the heads were badly burnt. Seem like someone lit up dead farmers dressed as Fulanis.

Revenue or profit ?

Religious and opinion leaders are fueling the conflict with their hate speech that tend to motivate violent actions on both sides. These utterances are further helped by activities of social media enthusiasts.

Muslims opinion leaders are largely responsible for the hate speeches. The speech of all Christian leaders I have heard so far are reactionary speeches. They spoke in reaction and did not in anyway inspire herdsmen to approach people's crop.

divinehand2003:
Buhari has been told what to do to save his face from embarrassment. But all his efforts are still too soft towards his fellow cattle rearers.

Exactly. He is taking ineffectual actions against his people.

jidobaba:
Commendable yes but finally all na story.
Given the chance again, the situation would play out in the same way. Or maybe not.

My point is this is a rich kid with money to play around with. Even if he had won the bid, how is that a coup? He played to lose when he could also have played to win. There's a reason bids almost always go to the highest bidders. Even a 10 year old knows that.

People who can't fill the "kid's" shoe for a second will start talking trash. He more than tried.

No web design gig ?

Artificial intelligence guys ? Where are you guys ?

These mumu children of NairaLand always sharing map and claiming they sharing Nigeria.

Emmytes:
You are demented, disturbed and delusional so you must hear a lot of things from your imaginary friends.

I'm not surprised.

Only a demon can be older than ancestors. What do you eat Mr demon spirit?

Emmytes:
Older than your ancestors, stupîd boy

I have been hearing about demons having online profile with which they harrass people.

LaiveNg:

Does the bootstrap carousel depend on jquery or something ? Just send in your tips.

Yes it does. Makes sure JQuery is properly imported.

Good news for Oyo people.

sulemanalex:
Death is death nothing like spiritual death

Read Genesis 20:1-18
Abimelech died after sinning in God's sight and had to make amend.

UDOKABESTLUV:
Explain More Pls

After sinning spiritual death follows. In Abimelech's case in Genesis his women were made barren until he made amends.

Jasperro:
How do you know someone who is spiritually dead

When the physical suffers as result of sin. In the case of Abimelech I sited, God made all the women in his life barren.

Elnino4ladies:
WTF is spiritual death?

Gradual death that doesn't kill physically the first time.

bjayx:
Ofcos there r spiritually dead people, spiritually discerned people knows. Life is 80 percent spiritual

To me it is 100%.

Emmytes:
Religionists have a very wild imagination.

What good is using threats and condemnation to frighten people into believing in superstitions and imaginary beings?

This one weak me.

How old are you ?

All na wash . . .
'Sorting' will still take place at the end of the day . . .

I need new insights on how to discover related news items with java.

I am thinking of extracting the keywords and matching them against other news items.

Programmer / Data Scientists in the house, I need suggestion on java libraries, APIs or frameworks to help extract related texts like article/news titles.
I have seen "stanford-nlp" and Apache's OpenNLP so far but wanted to hear from Java Nairalanders.
Thanks.

Every state can survive as a nation. That talk op is bringing is petty.

Chetimah:
When they tell you that NSA, Interior, IGP, COAS, Customs, Immigrations, DSS are all headed by the north...

Remind them that the Financial base of the country: - FIRS, CBN, Finance, Trade & Invest, NSIA, DMO, Salary and Wages, Auditor General, Budget, Labour, Navy, NIMASA, Power, Works, Housing, CDS, Foreign Affairs, Transports are all piloted by the South.

Besides all the Service Chiefs, Chief of Air Staff, Chief of Naval Staff, Chief of Army Staff all report directly to the Chief of Defense Staff, who is from Ekiti.

#Fact

Weak.
