you said that those fulanis are not Nigerian but Buhari is Fulani a stranger your president and He is silent about the genocide going all over Nigerian by his brothers.GOD of Justice defend the defendless in the south,North,East and west

They noted that for centuries the Southern Kaduna communities had lived in peace with the Fulani herdsmen, wondering why the herdsmen have abandoned such age-long beneficial relationship

Soreza:
THEN WHY WILL HE SHUT IT DOWN?? Can u answer?

Soreza:

AgentH2SO4:
I agree.

The governors are just cowards.

They are most likely afraid of Buhari using the EFCC to harass them.

CliffordOrji:
It is true. All our leaders in Igboland are liily livered, spineless and gutless cowards. How I wish Governor Fayose can rule us in Igboland

Firstlieutenant:
After dem go say Yorubas be coward, ordinary Fayose pattern dem no fit copy.

Honourable Prestige Ossy represents Aba North/South Federal Constituency of Abia State on the platform of All Progressives Grand Alliance. He is the Chairman, House Committee on Nigeria – Meico Relations as well as the Technical Committee on Customs and Excise. In this interview, he says South East governors are lily-livered, following what he describes as their poor response to the killings linked to herdsmen in the zone. He also says restructuring Nigeria is the way out of the current economic recession.



Fulani herdsmen have been terrorising some communities in the country, especially in the South East. What is your advice to governors and lawmakers in the zone?

It takes one with guts to be a leader. Most of them are lily-livered. There is nothing that will stop you as a leader, as a governor or a member of the House from saying something that will protect your people. If you cannot take the bull by the horn by enacting laws that will protect the citizens of your state, then I don’t know what else you are talking about.

Most of them don’t have that confidence. If you have confidence in yourself, I don’t see any reason why you should not come up with such legislation because you are not doing it against anybody. Nobody will be happy to come to his farm the next morning to see that his farm is ravaged by herdsmen. It is never done but because of the fear of the unknown, ‘who knows if I say this now, what will happen?’ some of them are even thinking of second tenure. ‘If I say this now, these people might make it difficult for me to go for second tenure’. That is actually the problem.

I don’t see any reason why most of them in the South-East are keeping quiet when these things happen.

I am challenging them, if they know that they actually have the mandate of the people, let them speak for the people and do things right for the people. I don’t see the reason why they should shy away from the truth of the matter by enacting laws to protect our farmers and our citizens from the rampaging herdsmen.

Have you made any effort to talk with the Abia State governor or Speaker on the herdsmen’s attacks?

Let me say this, I have a lot of programmes here at the National Assembly but they (governors) are there in the South-East, they know what the problems are, and that is why we elected them. They also elected me to come to Abuja and look at those laws that will benefit our people and bring in Federal Government presence that our state should get from the center.

I feel sad that most of them are just there, these things are going on and none of them is speaking but that does not mean that I wouldn’t make out time.




•Honourable Prestige Ossy
The country is witnessing economic recession. What do you think the Federal Government can do to get us out of this quagmire?

I have been an advocate of diversification. I want to say that government has been paying lip service to diversification. I have not seen the seriousness on the part of government to diversify this economy.

They are talking of diversification into agriculture, but tell me one policy of government that has encouraged real mechanized farming. I have not seen that government, state, local or even federal, buying one tractor to support farmers. All we hear is that we are to do mechanize farming. How can you do mechanized farming without tractors to work with? How can you go into mechanized farming without fertilizer, without improved seedling, without facilities where you can store if you harvest, without processor that will process those things and they come finished products.

All we do is pay lip service. Tell me one area, at least I come from the South East, I have not heard from any governor, I have not seen one tractor imported, the Federal Government has not also not imported one. What we hear is that we are diversifying into agriculture.

Go to the Bank of Agriculture and talk of loan and see whether you will get it. The incentives are not the order of the day

Iam quite sure one day she will regret it, if not here then hereafter.

mubar:
I see why no reasons d Christians or any to be attacking us we the Muslims because we don't attack ur people and why Muslims and The Holy Book Qur'an, every one should face his believes and serve his Lord to his best, when one of us deviate and we call him/her to realized his /her faults or mistakes is ours, unless U people have something against us we Muslims

Daniellogy:
So these people can't accept just an ordinary 4 : 0 defeat....pls bring back our thread to FB.

seunmsg:
APC is the ruling party and the country will benefit more when the party is peaceful and united. Calling for the disintegration of the party simply because you hate the president is silly. Tinubu and Buhari are partners in the APC project, if they disagree and efforts are now being made to settle the disagreement, we should encourage the effort instead of instigating them against each other.

A stable ruling party will help the president and all party elders to concentrate on the task of reviving the economy and delivering on all the electoral promises that were made.

O0ni:
The Ooni is starting to piss me off.

This same Bini kingdom never sent the crown prince nor did the king show up for the Ooni's coronation in Ife.

Yet, over the fact that he's just bored or has a problem with sitting in his palace, he has somehow managed to find his way to Bini just to appear in the news and hang out with Fulani kings.

Meanwhile, Junior but heavy weight kings in Yoruba land like Alaafin & Co were not there. Not even Owo king & Eleko, thrones with Bini influence, were there.

Lobolintin:
Look at Imperial Kings..


Oba of Benin for the mid west
ooni for west
Sultan for core north
Emir for mid north
Obi for east

The rest are follow come

WORLDPEACE:
I am not seeking clarification on oduduwa. I have my views on that and it is not mainstream Yoruba view. Ayelala in Ilaje dialect where the deity is very popular means "The world is big". No Ilaje person would even try to think of a meaning. It is very obvious. A child will tell you the meaning. What is the meaning of Ayelala in bini?

WORLDPEACE:
What does Ayelala mean in bini?

hadaydhollarpo:
its a pity you lack knowlegde. The newly crowned king from his speech made reference to Oranmiyan as the first Oba of Benin and Oduduwa which he specifically mentioned amongst the past Obas which discountance the errorineous impression from Benin people thinking they don't belong to the Yoruba race.

wiseoneking:
Dont open the tin of cankerworm. odudUWA is a Bini prince. The UWA in odudUWA is never found in yoruba lexicon and language but only in Benin Names like AdesUWA etc. Eko is also a benin word meaning war camp. I read about first seven lagos obas are decendance of binis. Even the word yoruba was giving to you guys by the hausa fulani invaders. Dont argue about this because all these are varifiable from history of Lagos Obas and origin of the yoruba word.

winj3:
This fool should be setting example for next generation by marrying ONE wife (1 man, 1 wife), instead he is living like his 6th century ancestors sleeping with the entire village and producing uncountable number of children!

these useless backward customs need to be abolished!

Barney11:
that is good. but why didn't the man marry from his age group(if na Muslim now, yawa for don gas here) why did they cover their nose, is benin people smelling?

Kjnwancaro:
Should be in the north.

TVTKOKO:
Looks like it's in the South West.. Bia op, where is it located?

veekid:
Sign of Buhari's handiwork; buhari is working

Sibrah:
Before the blameBuharCrew arrive let me point out that Buhari isn't the cause of this. Our over-dependence on petrodollar is.
