You are one of those responsible for the evil confronting Nigeria right now. You are to blame for any wrong done to anyone who is not fortunate enough to run away from Nigeria, like you did.The handwriting was very clear on the wall for all to see, but you people choose to close your eyes to it.

I was an ardent Buhari supporter in 2015, everyone in my estate at that time thought I was paid huge sums of money by the Buhari team. Omo when the gobe started, in 2016 I decided to run/japa to the United States when water pass garri.

The headers by their actions so far are responsible for the rejection and hatred towards them.

GoodGovernance:
Very illogical reasoning.

We are talking of farming here and the urgent need to stop senseless deaths,not housing.

States governments have been supporting farmers through provision of farm settlements.So why not for herders?

Not every herder is rich enough to afford individual ranch .RUGA is just like a farm settlement or group ranch,nothing more.


Your outburst is just an epitome of top level ignorance and ethnic hatred,nothing more.Who told you RUGA would be free for the herders?But the fact is that,it will be cheaper than having an individual ranch.

A lot of IGR awaits any sensible state government that can grab the opportunity.

For your information I am not a northerner but a sensible and non ethnocentric Nigerian.

They can't see it because they have chosen to ignore the truth and pretend that what is is not.

mastermaestro:
You are too myopic to see the larger picture. Ruga is a jihadist crusade to invade, take over and subjugate other ethnic groups who happen to be mostly Christians. If you don't know this, then you need help. Unless of course you are part of them.
Ruga is a tribal and religious crusade. They have no place in Christian communities across Nigeria. Any state idiotic enough to cede lands to them, their people will become slaves in their own indigenous lands in the near future.

NO TO RUGA!

It can't and won't happen.

executive12:
So you want Edo to be taken over by the Fulani herdsmen?

Obaseki so far has shown that he has the people's interest at heart and the people are happy with him, sentiment or not. Everyone is sentimental when it comes to protecting their own interests.

Damod88:
Nigerians are primitive people who only get excited when tribal issues come up. They are more or less like monkeys. Only the reasonable will understand that Obaseki is saying all these to win the support of Edo people in the wake of his political struggle with Oshimole. Nigerian politicians are good psychologists.They know what to do to deflect off attention from their misrule. It is a typical divide and rule tactics.

Will the header allow his host in the South live in peace without killing him and feeding his crops to cows?. The southern farmers in the North are they killing and maiming their host committees.do answer.

GoodGovernance:
if farming is not restricted to the north,why should herding be restricted to the north?


Sentiments will continue to kill us in this country



So herding is only meant for the north abi?



A south based northerner should go back to the north because he has chosen to be a herder in the south,abi?

And the farmers went about killing their host. I wonder when you people and fg will talk about the punishment to be given to killer herdsmen and their sponsors.

GoodGovernance:
Mischievous views like these are very unfortunate.
and sad.

The more reason why peace will continue to elude us.


Anywhere in the world,the struggle for land and space will continue to cause war and deaths.Only negotiations and concessions are the key solutions.

The governors should stop playing second term politics and face the reality of inevitable concessions ,for peace and progress.

Sometimes I wonder whether some people are happy with senseless killings going on our father land


Is it every herdman that can afford an individual ranch?

There are various farm settlements provided by state governments across the nation.Why can't government provide RUGA for herdsmen?

Sentiments will continue to kill us in this country!

The fg doesn't see any wrong with that, it's problem is those refusing ruga.

Whatsittoyah:
Coming to think of it why do these herdsman kill people in their own farm, and then feed their crops to cows.
I mean those crops are food people eat to survive, some even
Sell their produce in order to feed them selves and their family

You Hippocrates, you are never seen to condemn the wrongs of fulani herdsmen, always avoiding and quietly supporting their atrocities.are the Fulanis the only poor people in Nigeria. You say you want peace, but in other to achieve that you are exploring avenues that will cause unrest. must others be sacrificed for fulani?. This evil agenda must fail.

GoodGovernance:
Second term political statement.

What is wrong with having Rural Grazing Area in EDO,to cater for many herdsmen that cannot afford individual cattle ranch?

We want peace, yet we do not want to make sacrifice and concessions .So the senseless clashes and killings should continue.

RUGA or no RUGA,Nigerian herdsmen have the right to leave and move to any part of Nigeria.

So why all these rubbish antagonisms?

The bitter truth is Land ,any where in the world, is a source of conflicts,war and deaths.

He has not even seen the need to sympathize with those who lost their loved ones, properties and farms to fulani madness.

wink2015:
THE GOOD PEOPLE OF EDO STATE SHOULD INVEST IN CATTLE RANCHING THEMSELVES AND TAP INTO THIS MULTI DOLLARS BUSINESS.

WHY MUST AN UNEDUCATED FULANI HERDSMEN COME TO EDO STATE TO TAKE THIS LUCRATIVE BUSINESS FROM THEM.

They not only take the business but they threatened the peasant farmers with death and even destroy their crops.

President Buhari till date has not seen the need to prosecute these killer herdsmen.

The people,truth and justice is with him and because of the people GOD is with him also.

nelsonoba:
This man is shaking table that many of his APC masters are standing on. I hope he can handle it o

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?
