I honestly don't understand you anymore.

What's vexdacool gotta do with this?. And must I know the group?. I am absolutely not obligated. The group can do whatever they want. Who cares?.

You could save all these back to back talks by simply posting their activities and we scale it on shariah of Islam. If it is against Islam we will condemn it. If it's commendable we will appreciate them. Simple isn't?.

It doesn't have to be Sufi this or that.
Haven't I said this before that I can post it without mentioning you?

Haven't I said I am not forcing you to consult your friend?

It's not necessary. But then I mentioned you because you're also nosy.

where did you say @ highlighted?. You didn't. I did. Quote where you said that.

The way you started didn't suggest anything other than pictures and you enquired about them from me which I see no reason why you asked me in the first place.

Now that you have elaborated your concern, we just have to wait until those people reply me but I don't know when. But if your intention is to condemn entire people based on what a faction is doing, which I suspect is what you are trying to do, that's OBVIOUSLY unjust.
I ask you to learn on them did you? I ask you to consult your Sufi friend did you?

I never suggest you should ask vedaxcool but your Sufi friend.

That means he will explain to you based on Sufism.

56That's what profiling means. When you asked me to inquire about them. That's profiling. Why do you think i am obliged to know about them?. Muslims are not homogeneous people. If they are doing something wrong other, groups are not responsible for thier actions. I have watched many brothers of Tijaniyya group who condemn fake people amongst them who claimed to be sufi but in reality they are goofy.

When the plumber guy who claimed to be salafi came here with his bogus ideology we all condemned him. Despite claiming to be salafy (till now), did i force it down your throat that he is?. No, bcus i know he is fake.
I have not say for ones in this forum that I am this or that so how can you force it down my throat?

The same thing applies here. If some people claim they are sufi you gotta be sincere enough and weigh their ideology with essence of sufism and islam.
You see you're still ranting. Some people Halima claim they Sufi. I ask you to research on them and weight them based on the essence of suffism but you refused. So what you typed above is baseless.

You don't want to learn about them then how can you tell whether ideology is in line with that of Sufism or they are just claiming to be.

Now you are talking. You need to tell us what they're doing because i don't know them.


I had no reason to ask about them bcus it is irrelevant to me. But now that you indicates they are doing something wrong, and i believe you mean religiously. Then, i can look into that to see what who they are and what they are doing. I cant just profile a group like that.



You should have just posted it. This would have saved us long talks.


So far you are yet to give info about them.


I only defend what is islamically sound
You're not ready then. If you cannot go and learn who they are then sorry for you. I specifically mentioned you because you're Sufi and I can post what I want without mentioning you. I am not the one to reach you about them because am not Sufi. Your Sufi friend is in the best postion to tell you who they are.

I won't be engaging with you even when I get to type about them because you don't know them neither are you interested in knowing them.

Who said you should profile a group? Show me pls? Go and study their general believe from Sufi like you on WhatsApp you won't. Then who is asking you to profile any group? You don't know them how can you profile them?

why are you nosy bro?. I have no reason to ask because there is no information, nothing to prompt me to do that base on what your are saying here. If they are doing specific things that you believe is wrong, then, I might consider that. I can always research what Hakika is about. That's not a problem for me. I don't know them.
You're also nosy. Can you count how many times you mentioned Demmzy or Vedaxcool about their belief?

What Hakika are doing is wrong. To me almost all what they are doing are wrong.

I can always ask but I'm just wondering if there is anything in particular that bothers you about Hakika?. I don't even belong to Tijjaniya. I only respond to certain practices deem inappropriate or not in harmony with Islam. As for the picture, for postng it shows that you have something in mind to say about it. Neither the pictures nor your text gives info.
Nope. My question is very simple even a primary school student can understand it. Do you know Hakika? you said No. Ask your friend for explanation you won't.

I want to know your stands on the Hakika ideology first before I posted what I considered anti-Islam, but then you don't know them.

If you study them and consider their ideology wrong then we are on the same page otherwise the ground is set.

So when I posted you won't start defending without knowledge. If you don't want to fine and good.

Ok may be you know who are the Hakika and you lied that you don't know. Since you won't ask. I did not say u should ask him about the picture but asked him who are the haqiqa faction of Tijjaniyya.

Nobody says you should ask the question about picture. What is so hard to understand in what I read? You jump to the picture rather than the text.

You should ask him with open mind who are the Hakika faction of Tijjaniyya because I am interested in knowing his own view on Hakika.

The resources in my land belongs to my people not the Federal government, the fight for resource control is gaining weight everyday, very soon we will push for that with support from Benue and Pleatue.

You keep screaming about my state, in your ignorant mind anybody that opposes your madness is from a certain region in Nigeria, you are not even more pro Nigerian than I am, but I just need to tell you the truth, the herdsmen are bringing destruction instead of development to our land and we can't allow them anymore, and beside I'm from one of those states from the Delta.
Trash you don't anything in your State? What do you have? Degraded land ? Oil belongs to Nigeria not you. 13% derivation is only for the devastation happening to ur land and not because you own oil.

The issue is about the killing, you cannot be threatening others for refusing to give their ancestral land for some grazing stuff with some economic sanctions and you expect them to keep quiet when we know how parasitic the core north is to Nigeria, Should you make any of such attempt, then forget about collecting your usual monthly bailout from Abuja, as is it now the North Central are fast Leaving your grip, Every oil well own by any northerners will be revoked, those working in our oil field will be sent back, we will chase each and every one of you back to your enclave, you are the least region to threaten any body with economic sanctions. "LION THEY TALK cat self one raise shoulder".

And by the way my region is not "landlocked", even if it's landlocked that still won't make it as underdevelop, Take it from me, we are all tired of these herdsmen and their killings, no body is ready to give up his ancestral land for any reason whatsoever, if you can't ranch then you back to your village and roam the way you feel like roaming.
Funny. Wealth from Abuja is for federal government likewise oil well. You cannot do anything about that. You should look for economic sanction by what you have as individuals or state government because you owned no oil but FG does.

Which 1 is north Central? Kogi, Niger, Nassarawa not to talk of Abuja are always with the rest of the north so what nonsense are you talking. 50% of Plateau state also. You can only takeaway benue and Kwara.

Which state are you from that your region is not landlocked? Your southern Nigeria is not structurally more developed than northern Nigeria.

Hypocrite am yet to see opposition about grazing reserves from u guys when a southern Christian is our leader.

You cannot sanction the north but the north will sanction you.

Is Ganduje doing this for free. Even better they should run there as soon as its ready.
We are not on the same page here. You are joining You are joining two different things here.

1. I dont agree with asking farmers to purchase land for grazing. My stand is government should provide land. Hence the issue of purchasing or leasing land in the name of ending open grazing does not arrize.
2. Private ranching is should be voluntarily. I sight example with how Ganduje and Buhari are voluntarily ranching their cows.

I am not saying Ganduje is offering free ranch.


Grazing reserves fall into private sector business. The who country doesnt need to subsize business because they arent willing to invest. We dont for every other ranch farmer and individual.
I did not understand the point here. Grazing reserves should be construct by government how is that private?


Herdsmen are going to fund it. Every press statement says they will pay a fee for services. They will also pay taxes so thats false.
Herdsmen are funding what? Where did you see such? They are not funding anything. 10BN have already been sloted by federal government in 2018 budget to established grazing reserves. If government decided to charge fee for grazing on it reserves it is understandable just the way it charge money for it zoos and game reserves.



Typo. I meant it would not be private if goverment owned. Osun already set up ranch years ago for example. Akwa plans to asweell.
Ofcourse who want it to be private? It should be owned and controlled by government. Dams are not private also.


The fedeal government plans on doing low interest as well. I get point though. The issue of open grazing doesnt go away since open grazing not illegal in majority of states. Theres nothing that stop then from grazing or herding cattle anyway. Don't farmers pay water bill to federal government for service? (It would be dumb but not shocking if they didnt.)
Lets assume they pay. It will be small amount compared to boreholes. The government should create grazing reserves and ask herdsmen to pay similar amount like that of farmers if at all farmers pay. But the question is, who fund the dam? Government.
PoliticsRe: The case for grazing reserves by Kalu Aja by FriendNG: 11:16pm On Jul 08, 2018
Blue3k2:
Its not illegal under our laws. All land is vested in the state. The government is only obigated by law to pay compensation before work begins.
I am not in support of such. The government should look for bush.


The land should be purchased if its a private sale or youll have to lease it from private entity. Thats how it works for every farmer, rancher or business owner. Unless government wants to give you land.
Nope. Grazing reserves are natural reserve. No issue of the so called lease or purchase. Any herder who want to voluntarily ranch his cattle can do that just like the President or Ganduje. They have private ranches.

Herdsman are more than able to do buy land. They just dont want to change lifestyle or business model. Thats how the other ranchers, farmers and other private people do it everyday.
It is not the issue of affordability rather it is a matter of choice to do or not to do. We have many farmers who can afford to construct boreholes for irrigation yet the government provide dams. Y not grazing reserves?

Its non issue since willing states and federal land are providing land. Sates like Edo, Osun Ebonyi and Benue already said no and federal government is pushing along fine.
Yes they have the right to reject it but my point still remain that, in states that are ok with grazing reserves the federal government will fund it and not herders.

Ok if you say so. Lol why stop at cattle legislage. Do every agricultural product. If they do I'll gladly eat my words.
Nope. The retaliation will be majorly on cow products since the fight revolves around cattle.



It would be private if state running it.
You are still not getting it. Let me paste your post



Blue3k2:
The other option is work with willing states like its doing and set up low interest loans for ranching business.
and this is my reply.

FriendNG:
This should be for those willing to do ranching and not something mandatory. Reserves should be provided by government and not herders.
Meaning even when states set up low interest loans for ranching it has nothing to do with the issue of grazing reserves. Herders who are voluntarily interested in private ranching can utilize such offer from the state government but that dosent mean the issue of open grazing is solved. The government has to provide Nigeria owned grazing reserves just like it provide Nigeria owned irrigation dams.

The Jigawa government took land from farmers to give to Chinese firm for farming.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doIAUtHf8XQ
So you're suggesting the government should illegally seized more land (according to the video you posted)


I disagree with you on that point. Why shouldnt the buy land from state governments. If the governments want to lease it fine. The point is they will pay.
Why should they purchase land? They will not. Either the state government will create the reserve itself and they pay for utilizing it or the federal government will buy the land from State government and make it a national reserves for all people even you. But herdsmen won't pay for it, they are also Nigerians except the few from ecowas region. If the government can create Dam for irrigation y not grazing reserves? Grazing reserves are also national assets.

Grazing reserves are not new, the Sardauna of Sokoto have create such before.



Understood. Btw your comment about government needing to raise prices is unnecessary. The price of beef will probably jump because of all the new input cost of ranching short term. Then the transport cost will increase since they arent herding most likely.

The price wont drop untill the cattle population increases after a few years. The meat production and dairy productiom will jump.
The amount will be increased based on political reasons and not cost of production. Because same people that are rejecting grazing reserves are OK with it when Jonathan allocate 100billion for same. No noise about it but today because a Fulani is the president they are against it. Today because a Muslim is the president CAN are against it.



I agree its a meme for now but it seems like a logical end goal. The cows have little grass then they just need to buy feed in dry season.
Ok


I can compromise there since you agree its willing states participating. If thats case whats the big deal.
That's not my point. I mean to willing farmers that want private ranching and not states.

Im not sure what your arguing correct me if misinterpreting point. I agree a sovereign wealth fund is created by the state. I think your talking about the grazing land. Legally since state government can take land for that purpose. Jigawa seized 12,000 hectares for Chinese firm. The Federal government does also provide for nomadic education the quality I don't know.
I don't get you. Jigawa seized 12,000 hectares for Chinese firm as how. Seized Land from who for Chinese firm.


Ranchers did purchase land from privately as well that's how ranches Like King Ranch Started in 1853 before the sovereign wealth fund. I don't know if King ranch was first ranch or just the largest.
Even today we have people that ranch their cows in Nigeria. But what I don't believe is the saying that herding is a private business and that they (herdsmen) are the ones to purchase land from state government and use it as reserves.


Again states are more than free to copy Texas if they have land to devote to herders.
That's what I suggest. Meat, skin etc processing industries should also be constructed by willing private investors or the state itself.

Thederal government can take swath of land it owns in Sambisa forest like you all suggest and use it for ranching.
Although Boko Haram have been degraded but it's unwise to do such now. The insurgent might launch surprised attack especially when they heard cattle are being reared. I suggest conversation of samvisa game reserve to grazing reserve should be a long term planing and not immediate solution. Sambisa alone is enough for ranching.


The other option is work with willing states like its doing and set up low interest loans for ranching business.
This should be for those willing to do ranching and not something mandatory. Reserves should be provided by government and not herders.

PoliticsBuhari To Launch Abuja Rail Mass Transit Project On Thursday (Tomorrow) by FriendNG(op):
The Nigeria Federal Government is set to launch the Abuja Rail Mass Transit project later this month.

The project, which is the first light rail system in West Africa, was flagged-off by former President Olusegun Obasanjo in 2007 in an attempt to host the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

The Government had earlier disclosed that tracks, as well as 12 stations of the first phase of the projects, were already completed while procurement of rolling stock (wagons, etc) was ongoing.

Tolu Ogunlesi, the special assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on digital media, disclosed that the trial phase took place today, ahead of the launch which has been scheduled to hold later this month.

“Today we tour #AbujaMetro, ahead of the launch. The first light rail system in West Africa. Phase 1 completed; 2 Lines, Yellow and Blue, with Connections to Abuja Airport and the National Rail Line” Ogunlesi tweeted.

“Took us about 20 minutes from Abuja Metro Station direct to Idu, where the #AbujaMetro connects to the National Rail Service (Lagos-Kano/Abuja-Kaduna). There are a couple of stations in between that we didn’t stop at, so the ideal journey will take slightly longer.”

The project would connect the city centre to Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport and would offer a light rail transport system that would ease transport challenges in the city.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo initiated the project with an official groundbreaking ceremony in May 2007 in order to host Commonwealth Games in 2014. But lack of funds for the project delayed its completion
