No o. Don't change mouth o. No to ruga for u. U will come up north to purchase the beef at twice the price. Na una go beg last last

Do you know that Easterners can decide to go into cattle rearing if you decide to inflate your price? I have that vision already. So please keep your cows in your North. We don't want trouble from those children of perdition.

No wahala. Keep it in your north. If you want grass,we would supply grass from the south and you will pay for it.

I prefer relating with obedient Fulani and Hausa than the boastful Igbo.. No Hausa/Fulani has ever mouthed "Lagos is a no Mans land"- u won't hear them say such,

your preference is well understood. Igbo's are boastful but who are you safer with? Who has contributed to the development of Lagos more? Is it the humble Hausa or the boastful Igbo? Besides I don't see Hausa as humble,if really they are humble then Nigeria will not be in such a mess today .

Is fidelity bank good enough to lock in, for the next auction??

well I just subscribe for the primary option through Fidelity bank. I asked them to use their bank rate. Let's see how the thing go be.

I'm for Buhari but this Ruga settlement is unacceptable.

I mean, the rumors of islamization can be true after all. This is how they gradually penetrate territories and strike from within when Jihad comes.

We have decayed to a fault that we from different ethnic background can no longer live together in harmony for long. The situation is beyond redemption already.

North has the largest land mass, they should stick to their territory.

You are for Buhari. Can't you see how brainless and confused you lots can be?

Ighoga898:
The reason you are finding it difficult is because

Boys fvck who they can
Girls fvck who they want
But boys marry who they want
Girls marry who they can

Finding who we want is hard that's why boys detest marriage

Finding who we can is easy that's why girls like marriage

Sense will not kill me

pass me whatever that is giving you this inspiration. I need to partake in it abeg

The Yoruba's should seek more corporation with the Igbo's in Lagos. This is because economically and in other development indices Igbo's offers more hope for the wellbeing of Lagos than the Fulani's

Benekruku:
You have a right to you opinion. I stand for whats right and not blinded by hate, religion and tribalism!

bla bla bla bla. Brainless id.iot. go give them your father's land

mrvitalis:
U are dumb a phd holder can make that in 2 hrs

two years is too much. One year is more than enough to make that money.
But like some rightly said we all are not going to become scholars. Some are carved out to become entertainers.
Nigeria has too many PhD holders these days.

In every political issue to do with our democracy North is quick to make us aware that they have the largest land mass, the largest population. Whether ranching or grazing, North is best fitted for it considering their large land mass. Fulanis dont need South for grazing. Their purpose for coming South is to improve weight on the stock and up the value. In one feed a cow gets nutrition from eating just grass but it gets nutrition and minerals from eating farm crops and the gain in calories can raise its value by 200,00naira by time it enters into market. The food raised 200,000naira for the fulani pocket but loss to the farmer....if he is not butchered in the process. So their purpose in South is to feed crops to cows free and gain a profit margin in the market. Their encroachment into farms is not accidental at all. So we can agree there is cruelty.

Imagine that farmers carry ak47, fulani only carry stick. Everytime farmers see herds of cows they rush in and grab one or two to take home for their family to feed and if the fulani mince a word of protest they point ak47 and blow him down. Two days later they see another fulani with cows and they repeat their action. His little daughter going with him the farmer put her to the side of road and raped. Her father is killed she is raped, four cows are missing. No farmer is ever arrested or convicted. How would that look?

So the problem we have is not a farmer/herder clash. The problem is that of law. Some people are above law and they need to carry weapon to bully farmers and feed cow fat for more value. Take away ak47 from fulani or arm farmers to balance the equation. That's the solution, not ruga.

Nigeria must maintain equity to all. This is the only way to sustain peace and progress in this county. Whatever done to A must be done to B. That way we all will live in peace. Peace is achievable in Nigeria. It only require a sincere leader who can have the political will to do so.
Secondly Nigeria should be purely run as a secular state. In fact I suggest that all form of religious colouration be expunged from our constitution and rule of law. The constitution should be our only guide to the daily activities of the country. We must give a sense of belonging to all. This is the only way to sustain peace.

Racoon,
Ok, so it's all about the cattle wealth. Cows are priced by size and range from 60,000 naira to half a million naira. Those who can afford service of fulani herders usually have cows numbering a thousand or more. It's a good source of wealth, sustainable and relatively cheap to operate. You dont need to build a shelter for them, they graze in field and drink from stream. Their size and value improve when they have good sustenance. Therefore they have to get to where to find resource to improve their worth. This is where the fulani herdsman come in. It is his duty in exchange for compensation in cash and animal to manage their grazing and well being between home and market. Home could be in Gusau and market is in Iseyin, the herder makes it happen. Did you see the video of Nneme people chasing fulani and cows out of town? Were you able to count the number of heads zooming past the camera?

Certain problems in the North threaten herd sustenance and puts the life of their herders at risk.

1 - dwindled resources
2- inter-ethnic wars in Northwest and Northeast

Therefore it has become imperative to avoid massive loss of stock and also preserve the fulani cultural lifestyle, that they find new zones for the cattle to graze in. This is why there is pressure in Northcentral....and now spilling into South. Who are the people enforcing herd relocation? MiyettiAllah had played it smart long ago. They offered retiring military officers heads of cow to supplement their post retirement interest in agriculture and farming. The officers in turn used their influence in security force to bully the way and gift to miyetti access rights to places it traditionally did not have rights of access. This is why when a herder is in distress after committing crime and he is overpowered he presses a button on his phone and gets word across for rescue from military barracks nearby. In other words, miyetti bought itself protection. In Nassarawa a military officer got in trouble a while back for failing to respond to distress call from fulani under attack.

let's be sincere for once instead of writing all these epistle. As the population of Nigeria increase in number and the available land becomes limited,how possible can it be to sustain open grazing?

One thing is is worthy of note and that is the fact that change is constant and sensible human being must embrace change as they come. Cattle rearing by open grazing is no longer sustainable or will become unsustainable in few years.Therefore, it becomes imperative for those who are into cattle business to adopt a new strategy to rear their cows.

The world have developed an advanced and scientific method of cattle rearing and its working for them. We must look to those who are doing it in a better way and learn from them. We cannot continue to hold on to crude and archaic method of doing things and expect better result.

This the time for a change in the method of rearing cows . The Fulani's must embrace ranching if they mean well for Nigeria. They must know that by provoking other ethnic nationalities, they not only risk their head,they also risk the total collapse of Nigeria.

Lastly Nigeria need serious bother control to stem the continuous influx of foreigners into our land. The security agencies must put maximum effort in securing our borders.

I don't know why this umahi is being careful with words.Say it to their face Dr umahi that we don't want you Fulani's around anywhere in the south east.
They are beast in human form.

[quote author=drmikeadams post=79806761][/quote]j As an undergraduate I remember one Bini girl Accused me of rape. This is a girl that I have never hugged. In fact I was still at the chyking stage before katakata burst between us. Boom she called her security friend, accused me of beating her up with cult members and raping her and then we stole her gold ear ring.
I was dumfounded and didn't know what to say. This girl look so innocent to tell such big lie and her she was saying things that can only be imagined. Thanks to one of my guy who came to my life and swore with his life that I can never do such a thing. Infact he told them they can believe the girl if they want to but that he is sure that God will fight for me. This girl countenance fell because of the words of my friend and that was how I was left out of the hook.

philip0906:
Mrs A accuses Mr A of rape on social media, the court of social media filled with emotional, senseless and foolish judges, declare him guilty as charged simply because of the "words" of Mrs A-no proofs, nothing.

I pity foolish people especially foolish men who do not understand the pattern that is been formed- where a bitter woman could just wake up one morning when you're made and head straight to the court of social media and accuse you of something devastating as rape to even scores because she knows she needs show no proof, just her words.

Do we start reeling out the false and baseless rape accusations that have been made in the past, by senile women who headed straight to online courts to get back at men? These fortunate men were only lucky to escape these accusations.

If as a woman, a man forces himself on you against your will, head straight to the authorities- police, courts and lawyers and file a report. What that does for you is even if you're denied justice, when you come out on social media and scream, there are artifacts that you can reference to back up your claim. It makes logical people see reason with you.

Times have changed, women who are GENUINE victims of rape in this part of the world, are getting justice. Don't let any ediot deceive you that rape cases cannot be proved and that the judicial system does not support rape victims. It is a bloody lie.

Right here on nairaland we read the story of the Rivers lawmaker who allegedly raped a hotel worker. Her sister carried out a lone protest. Apparently, there were witnesses who heard her scream. Police took up the case and the lawmaker was on the run. This is the story of a woman who is not even in the middle class but in the poverty line. If that woman comes tomorrow to detail how the lawmaker raped her, there are artefacts, witnesses she can lay hold on to to give credence to her claims.

you are a very wise person. Wiser than millions of Nigerians. You can't come to social media and make baseless allegations against a man to buy people sympathy.
As it stands its an allegation and nobody can substantiate it unless evidence are presented.

franchasng:
Herdsmen President: that is why you need to start the RUGA project very fast so that the other boys from Chad and Niger can come in fast and silence them forever

Osinbajo: but remember I am a Christian, your people will not spare me after they finish killing other Southern Christians, I am scared sir

Herdsmen President: don't worry yomi,I will protect you but you must convert to Islam.
Osibanjo: I will think about it sir.

franchasng:
Herdsmen President: why haven't you started taking lands and fencing them for the RUGA in the Southwest

Osinbajo: sir I am afraid of those IPOB living in Lagos, they will fight me

Herdsmen president: but I have tagged then terrorist and silenced them with Python dance.

Osibanjo: sir those ipob cannot be defeated. Did you hear they have been invited by the UN to present their case?

blackpanda:
You are always the first to boast, and also the first to cry like spoilt babies

keep your ruga in your northern land. We don't care. We have been marginalized since after the civil war and we are doing alright. We don't want terrorist to infest our land.

blackpanda:
Evans is not a Fulani. Reverend king is not a Fulani. Clifford Orji is not a Fulani. So quit your lies and hateful tribalistic rants. There is no tribe that doesn't commit crime

Reverend king and Evans are in jail. Should we release them and give them presidential treatment?
As long as the ruga is confined to your north Igbo's we do not give a fu..ck

Oshigun:
I am a Northerner now? Shior. Another indicator of how some Southerners (wont mention any name) can think progressively and will lead Nigeria well while others cannot and will be a disaster at the centre with their natural proclivity for hating others and never seeing the big picture. To you we should all form vigilante groups and then kill each other like savages. Two wrongs don't make a right. Look at the name below Ogbeni.

The baseline is as long as the ruga is in the north and does not near Igbo land we Igbo's do not give a fu..ck

Oshigun:
Why are you just being so unreasonably stubborn? Nigeria's population is heading towards 200 million and growing !!!! The Cattle livestock required to feed that population will require grazing fields beyond that in the home State of many herdsmen hence their itinerant nature.

Besides, start focusing on the positives and eschew hate that blinds you to the obvious. Cancer is killing many in the West mainly because of how livestock (meat of all kind) are farmed. In the West they are pumped full of hormones, antibiotics to be cured in Chlorine and then raised unnaturally and unhealthily in confined space because of the extreme pressure to feed more mouths. We have a traditional system that helps us eat organic Beef, essentially, and all you can focus on is the Fulani component rather than look at solutions that will preserve this beneficial way of farming Cattle?

You tell me why cancer rate in Nigeria is much lower in Nigeria than in the UK for example? Nigeria 180 million and 41,000 die of cancer. UK 66 million 164,000 died of cancer and you are here talking garbage out of hate for Fulani. We simply need to all try to be solutions providers and appreciate what we have. A holistic approach is required and that has begun with this government that is trying to establish grazing ares and moving bravely to ban the Almajiri system where kids are kept out of school and uneducated to then become menaces to society. Did the PDP you lot love to worship ever propagate the long-term solution we are now seeing from the APC? All you guys do is negativity out of hate for others. We have to address the mass illiteracy in the North. Simple.

listen and be attentive. History is there for us to learn from and avoid future mistakes. The antecedent of the Fulani's as a trouble making people are evident for a to see.
Please if you want to ruga please ruga in your North for all I care. Are you not the same people who boast of your large land mass? Is the land mass of Niger State state not more than that of the whole south east combined together? Why looking for lands in where you cannot find it?
If you want to ruga please ruga in your North. You can bring the meat with your truck to us and we would buy.

Oshigun:
They are not Nigerian ba? What empirically factual argument do you have to back this? Our Fulani President is not Nigerian yet he is leading us? Guy, talk better. You just sound like an extremist who is very hateful, bitter and prejudiced against Fulanis.

if they are Nigerians then they should have land to settle in their states of Origin.

blackpanda:
Aren't u just a bundle of hate and all this wrong with this country

yes I am full of hate for those of you who kill women and rape woman and kill pregnant women in a gruesome manner. Yes I am full of hate.
You all lack IQ. You made enemy of yourself to all sensible Nigerians and now you want them to accept you.

blackpanda:
The same Igbo's opposing this today will be the ones to cry of marginalization tomorrow. Ruga is a huge project with huge potentials in terms of income, employment, food security etc

Are you fuc..king kidding me? You are building rail lines,dry ports and other billion dollar investment in other region and never built any in the south and then you suddenly remembered to give our land to your brothers and you think we would sit and accept it.
You all are a bunch of low thinking people. You northerners lack the least basic human relation ability. Your IQ is damn to low to allow you people live in the midst of intelligent Igbo people.
We are opposing this ruga to the last and our governors are not give a half inch our land to this murderers.

blackpanda:
Another heap of baseless lies born out of bias. But like fg said, its not by force. At least u guys opposing won't ave d mouth to cry tomorrow. Don't expect govt to employ ur youths to work in d ranches o. Keep ur land and purchase ur meat from Israel!

Stop all these trash you are spewing here. The Fulani's are not good people and as a matter of fact they are beastly in nature. Allowing them live close to you is a big mistake anybody can make.
President Buhari can give them land in sambisa and no one will blink an eye

You want to give my land to a know enemy for free. Fulanis are enemies of the real Nigerians and it will be deadly to allow them live close and settle close to normal people.
These guys are beast in human form and all of them are beasts. There is no written propaganda that should make any sensible governor to accept this into this his state.
These Fulani's are not Nigerians in the first place and I wonder why we are planning to settle them in Nigeria with free land. They should buy land like any other person,set a ranch,source for fees and feed their cows.

Benekruku:
Stop analysing issues like an illiterate.


Igbo's have a enough land mass. Why are they migrating to every nooks and crannies of South West.

Are you suggesting cattles be reared in the North and transported to other states?

Be rational with your analysis.

If you shoot down settlements? What do you approve? Open grazing?

you devilish being. Do you know the worth of a piece of land in the south east. Rear your cow in the north and when you want to sell, transport it to the south east for those who care to eat cow meat.
Stu...pid jihadist.

The most incompetent government agency in Nigeria of today is the efcc. Anything Buhari touch turns to rubbish.

Only one Igbo among all.

LordReed:
So everything in this new heaven and new earth everything will not be perfect?

in comparison to the imperfections on this earth I would say yes. Like I said earlier. The new heaven and the new earth is going to be a highly advanced kind of living. You are going to be like the spirits and angels of God.
Its gonna be much more interesting that whatever anyone can imagine. I look forward to it.

LordReed:
He supposedly ate the last supper so no he wasn't fasting.

When a person dies the sphincter muscles are loosed allowing piss and shit to escape. It is reasonable that if Jesus died on the cross that he did shit and piss in a similar manner.

The bible didn't give details of His body functions when he was hung.

But if its true that He passed out feaces just save us,I think He is glad he did it anyway.

Now The Man who probably poo on his body is coming back as a lion to devour those who pierced him and to defeat the enemy forever and ever.

Meaning we would soon have national polytechnic commission just like the national university commission. Its a welcome development
