It doesn't matter whether he is looking for sympathy or not. He has spoken the mind of the people. The insincere one here is the fg and it's agenda.

maasoap:
That's not enough, he should tell us how FG is trying to force Edo state into Ruga. To me, the man is just looking for sympathy. And what a way to get it other than hiding under a burning national issue. Nigeria politicians and insincerity are like 5 and 6, I'm not falling for this shiit.

They are their sympathizers.so there will be no problem. Truth is bitter oh, but it must be told.

UnitedFront:
Sambisa Forest! Boko Haram abode! We're no longer one in this country. It is one thing to say "there is no land for Ruga in my state", it is entirely different thing to suggest to your fellow citizens to move to Sambisa forest.

You can become a slave because you want Nigeria to grow, its your choice. All Edo People is saying is that there are other and better ways for Nigeria to grow if the fg is sincere with itself and Nigerians and without ulterior motive.

DirtyBit:
1 thing for sure, with this kind of people, Nigeria will Never Grow

and Ever. He has said the mind of Edo and that is it, full stop.

MrAnele:
That's what you say now

Bear the pain, un dooo.

Charleys:
This is why Adams oshiomhole should have taken over the house of Assembly.

Adams oshiomhole really messed up.

Very soon you will see the foolish useful idiots from the South supporting this unattainable move.

May be.

dumo1:
My friend are you secretly speculating that he will crossover to the PDP?

APC is not the only party that gives party form.

dumo1:
See this mumu ungrateful obaseki, what happened to Ambode would be child's play compared to what oshiomole would do to you. Abi it's oshiomole that will be the one you will collect party form for your immaginary dream of 2nd term as Edo state Gorvenor. You never see something

Nice

Akpabio lost his integrity when he defected to APC. The people were greatly disappointed in him.

Is it not the truth.

ifeelgood:
Is that all your brain can think?

What ever you have sown good or bad, you and your generations after you will Surely reap. Those who plot against others shall be destroyed by their own plot.

You people should stop mocking GOD. You can not continue in sin and expect Grace to abound. You all better repent. I pray GOD Almighty have mercy and forgive you all.

Your opinion, you are entitled to it. We don't need terror and oppression, all want is to live in peace in our land in our land.

fkj950ax:
This settlement is a must and to us in Kano state, it’s a task that must be done, because we must improve the quality of lives of the herdsmen so that they become full Nigerians and behave like any other good Nigerian

From the two (2) bolded part of his statement.

Land is being taken from people or somewhere and being transferred to people who ORIGINALLY are not Nigerians.

Land is vested in the State according to the Constitution for it to be held in trust and development of the people.

The government, State or Federal, has the absolute right to take and give land. But it must clear the air on who it is giving it to.
The purpose also is critical. Is it a commercial interest. Will cows reared RUGA styled come at a discount or its same market price after you offset largest cost factor in a business for someone?

Fertilizer was subsidized and free in some places. Can these RUGA beef prices be subsidized?

These are the issues causing the fighting up and down.

It's a pity.

Austine567:
sometimes i just admire this man ,

Keep deceiving yourself..

MetaPhysical:
I agree with Ganduje. This man is a true Nigerian. Remember during the Kaduna Declaration drama this man was the first of Northern Governors to break silence and say Ibos in Kano are residents with rights and must not be expelled. Unfortunately Ibos ridicule and spin hatred against him online.

Now he is advocating ranching and ruga settlement in North.

Give it to Ganduje!

Yes that is true, but they don't go about killing you. They let you live in peace in your own land.

Ekpeitit:
See your head,if you don't like herdsmen in the South East why are there so many southerners in the north?
For your information there are more Igbo people in the north than Fulani or Hausa people in the South East. Check the facts before you open your smelly mouth.

Keep lying to yourself.

spirul77:
I laugh when those from outside EDO state believe the propaganda that he's wake and see governor, since this man assume office he hasn't even grade a single road in EDO north, there's no one single tangible thing he has done, I repeat no one single thing, if you know he has done otherwise I dare you to mention them here, he promised two hundred thousand jobs during campaign only to come out to say he has created 77 thousand already and it's almost four years lol, his gentleman look and composure really deceive people, he's not done one quarter of what oshiomole did in oshiomoles first 6 months in office in his three years so far, I stand to be corrected with facts. he's just an average selfish and power hungry curroption ridden Nigerian governor

It's you who should shut up.

dunkem21:
Shut up Mr. Man and behave like Ambode

The foolish ones who voted him in 2015 are to blame.

bigfish3k:
LET ME ADD MORE.....
The whole problem is a culmination of the inefficiency and insensitivity of the govt to our diversity. it is a consequence of bad leadership
if only the govt have not been paying herdsmen to stop killing
if only the govt had prosecuted the killers
if only the govt had not shown it has soft spot for the herdsmen
if only the govt had not meddled into cattle colony
if only the govt had not tried to force RUGA on us
if only the govt had not shown nepotism
if only the govt had not appointed only one tribe to man the whole security architecture
if only the govt had not divided us along "5% and 97%"
if only the govt had listened to the voice of reasoning
if only the govt had been fatherly to the whole country irrespective of who voted for him
if only the govt had been fair to all
if only he had come with a plain mindset
if only he had practiced "i belong to nobody but everyone"
if only he had not polarized us
if only he had the whole country as his constituency
if only he had not told the UN to concentrate on the north only
if only he can be a true statesman
if only he can love us all

some wise nigerians saw this a long time ago and warned but they were labelled with all kinds of names like: looters,wailers and unpatriotic citizens
Now the chicken has come home to roost ... but unfortunately the same rain is beating us all

They have guns and weapons they will use on themselves..

Paperwhite:
Good! After all nobody has been held responsible for the many people who have lost their lives with the atrocious activities of these killers.

So the Fulanis have now acknowledge that there are some wars they cant win abi? Meanwhile, what have informed this their persistent intent on withdrawing their members from southern Nigeria? What do they have up their sleeves?

Who will you hold responsible for the ones Fulanis killed.

Seriously.

DennisEche:
too daft for a president

What a president, it's a pity. Nigeria I sorry for you.

The South only supported still because they didn't want buhari anymore.

jaxxy:
Fulani this, Fulani that. We shud be specific and state herdsmen cos Atiku which many of them “SEEM” to like is a Fulani. Let’s stop playing politics and face the real issues pls.

GoTV:
I still prefer Fulani herdsmen to igbos who will come to Lagos and call it no man's land after Yorubas accommodate and feed them

you are on your own, after all the Igbos only renamed it a no man's land. They didn't kill or maim you, they let you live in peace in your own land and even help you develop and not destroy it. To me that's preferable. nice day.

What a government.

Very good

They will all surely pay for their sins.

nicepoker101:
Same OBJ who gave his support for Buhari in 2015. Was he blind then?

A time will come you will wish you still have Obasanjo around instead of buhari.

Mouth Gig:
THE OLD THIEF, NOR KNOW ALL DIS TRASH, HE WRITES
WHEN HE BE PRESIDENT.

NONSENSE


SAI BABA BUHARI.

To what end is this, is it of any use to the situation at hand right now. sometimes one can't help but wonder the way some Nigerians reason. It's a pity.

FROM THE ARCHIVES: CHINUA ACHEBE'S LETTER TO OBASANJO (2004)

My Dear President Obasanjo,

I write this letter with a very heavy heart. For some time now I have watched events in Nigeria with alarm and dismay. I have watched particularly the chaos in my own state of Anambra where a small clique of renegades, openly boasting its connections in high places, seems determined to turn my homeland into a bankrupt and lawless fiefdom. I am appalled by the brazenness of this clique and the silence, if not connivance, of the Presidency.

Forty three years ago, at the first anniversary of Nigeria’s independence I was given the first Nigerian National Trophy for Literature. In 1979, I received two further honors – the Nigerian National Order of Merit and the Order of the Federal Republic – and in 1999 the first National Creativity Award.

I accepted all these honors fully aware that Nigeria was not perfect; but I had a strong belief that we would outgrow our shortcomings under leaders committed to uniting our diverse peoples.

Nigeria’s condition today under your watch is, however, too dangerous for silence. I must register my disappointment and protest by declining to accept the high honor awarded me in the 2004 Honors List.

Yours faithfully,

Chinua Achebe
Annandale-on-Hudson, New York

Where is Obasanjo's reply to the above letter?

So it can be easily given to Benin republic,

amaniro:
I think this kind of fight is not meant for state Government. It is at this point the federal Government should step in, not state government.
