We need another President of a country to follow suit and save the little remaining acclaim integrity, IF there is any before!

every corrupt politicians will feel the bad side of me and all their cash distributed to the poor.

Life would have be saved and property that was bought with human sweat wouldn't be been destroyed if this order was given earlier . In a sane country with wise and proactive digital President that order wouldn't have CE by this time at the eleventh hour.

Sure is life ! imagine those that died a natural death have to be visited by all those sycophants government officials as if their life were different from those innocent victims that were killed without human sympathy . How many of those sycophants that visit Benue or other states that more than 10 innocent lives were lost ? Where is Nigerian officials humanity and consciousness?

Nweze1986:
THE TRUE VERSION OF GOVERNOR UMAHI'S STATEMENT ON GRAZING LOCATIONS FOR HERDSMEN



By Philip Nweze


It has come to the notice of concerned Ebonyians that there is a statement purportedly attributed to His Excellency, the governor of Ebonyi State, Engr David Umahi, currently making the rounds on social media.

Some of such unfounded stories contained in the statement include that traditional rulers in the state have been authorized by the governor to create grazing areas for fulani herdsmen to rear their cattle and have also been mandated to assemble data of herdsmen operating in Ebonyi state to facilitate the process.

Suddenly, the matter has taken an ominous curve and tongues are wagging from every quarters. Expectedly, the rumours elicited anger and bewilderment from the Igbo public. How can a murderous terrorist group like the herdsmen, acclaimed even internationally as deadly be openly defended and quartered in Ebonyi state, of all places? The governor has been under heavy, excruciating and venomous verbal cum scribal attacks by blind critics who conveniently swallowed this roadside gossip hook, line and sinker. I make bold to state that the story in circulation is not only fallacious but mischievous and nauseating. Such a report is an unfair misrepresentation of Governor Umahi's speech and therefore people should disregard the content of the publication.

I wish to state for the records that the purported statement aimed at pitching the governor against his people is contrived and baseless. The comments making rounds did not emanate from the governor or any of his aides.

The governor who was simply reacting to the persistent damage of agricultural crops and farmlands by the normadic herdsmen had charged traditional rulers to agree on grazing locations for the herdsmen and their animals, where they would be restricted for their grazing activities to save the future of agriculture in the state. "When the grasses in such areas finish, you should arrange for another location for grazing, because we will not tolerate cattle eating or destroying crops on our farmlands," said the governor. "We want to put such restraining measures to prevent cattle rustling...I still maintain that there would not be movement of cattle from one area to another in the state."

A lot of half-truths, misinformation and outright falsehood have attended the pronouncement since it dropped out from the governor's mouth These lies deliberately manufactured by the opposition in the state have resonated among the governor's die-hard critics. The aim is to create a dark picture about the governor and score a huge political point for the opposition.

By consigning the herdsmen outside the farmlands, the governor was simply seeking a new rule of engagement. Adopting hardline approach such as outright eviction, as being advocated by some people is not the solution. Let's also remember that we have our people in other parts of the country. Good neighbourliness is important.

I therefore use this medium to appeal to all well meaning Nigerians to ignore the story making the round and condemn the act of unethical practice by those disseminating the deceptive story.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Ebonyi State Governor in conjunction with relevant stakeholders from the South East region is making frantic effort to ensure that fulani herdsmen are not domiciled in any part of Igbo land. This is a fact.

Therefore, the creators and managers of such fraudulent allegations tagged to the governor are on a character assassination mission and their words should be seen beyond face value. The governor has not indicated interest to indoctrinate cattle colonies or ranching or grazing in any part of the state at any time, or asked anybody to campaign for it.

The attention of the general public is therefore drawn to such campaigners of calumny and merchants of falsehood, who are bent on tarnishing his image by dishing out egregious lies borne out of deep seated hatred and envy.

Let it be known that this is election year . It should be noted that a lot of people will be cashing in on any available opportunity to concoct all sorts of fabricated lies in order to achieve their selfish agendas. The public should note that apart from the governor's directive for compilation of data of herdsmen, which includes herdsmen names, locations and contact phone numbers of their leaders, no further comments and statements being attributed to him are from him. The aim of such documentation is to identify and stop cattle rearers coming from Niger republic and other neighbouring African countries to forment trouble.

Let us remember that this is a very sensitive topic and we must be careful with our utterances.

The administration of Governor David Umahi, as we all know, will not settle for anything apart from vigorously pursuing the overall well being of Ebonyi people.

What is the different between what you explain now and what was posted online. A wise man said roping a goat or goat roping a rope is still achieving one purpose. when wise governors and their people are rejecting grassing because of the primitive and blood it has claim ,your governor is foolishly and shamefully asking traditional rulers to creat grassing rout in this 21st century . No wonder Ebony is still waking of in this 21st century.

When I saw your shithole image of your live in your profile the world accept your deserve world number 1 useless Zombie.

Don't be surprise those born to destroy will not give him merited post in the Army but rather put incompetent group of people that shamelessly believed Nigeria was created for the to conquered and mismanage . What a Shithole they are called!

Hope you are not one of those that voted APC vampires soiled with the blood of innocent Nigerians ? They have added another shameless. crown on their bloody head as the highest number of poorest citizens in the world thanks to APC demons.

Sanusi is no like every other core Northerner/Muslim. He's very intelligent and doesn't reason like cow like some Northern leaders.

He has been blasting Northern leaders, adding that they are the cause of poverty in the North.

In one of his statements he said the abhorrence of Western education in the name of practicing Islam has doomed northern part of Nigeria into becoming the poorest region in the country.

Sanusi doesn't support marrying many wives or many children if you can't train them.

“Of what benefit is it to the north, having three million children roaming about?”
“Other Muslim countries have pushed on.
“We are fighting culture, we are fighting civilisation...- Sanusi

I respect Sanusi, the Only Northerner with brain.

It will never be well with those vampires and the sponsors killing innocent lives.

After reading or storing up all the books he come across in his library but still support ancients mode of roaming and grassing of cattle at the present time that mean all his readings are in a shithole and babadas .

Please who knows where banana Republic is located in the world , Politician turned lawyers have rape Nigeria laws to coma . So if not Magu no Nigerians even more intelligently look than him , They are in a mess!

12submarine:
Pls stop instigating war in Nigeria.

This your direction is misplaced . A wise man will direct is advice to the root instigators of war which are those extremists,fulanis heldsmen and their elements in government directly and indirectly sponsoring jihad by the actions and inaction . I wouldn't be surprise if you are from the south that use fear and intimidation to pretend you don't see the obvious and secret jihad is eminent. Continue living in a fool paradise and foolishly shy away to the facts till they Fulani extremists take your generation unawares as the did in Kwara state.

This is very bad and will rubbish the little left image of NA.

This is a litmus test for Mr integrity come 2019. His action will defined his faith after 2019 . A wise man will heed the voice of majority because it could be the voice of God. The world is taking the history in making .

Imaging where technology is moving while few born to rule old cabals are thinking to creating colonies for cow in this 21st century . Who really swear on this group of rulers ?

Nigerians deserve better!

His sincerity on Buhari administration proves he deserve that cakes. It left for Buhari to prove how wise he is or how dullard he is ? history is about to unveil its self.

Their MUMU Don Do!

Foolishness cloud be. from their gene that amount can even clone his father or make a doll looks like his father.

it a means to an end.

The Zombies still see him as their . ..

Always old stories , I sensible man will as those killings done before where are the suspects and what do government that sworn to protect lives and properties doing to curb these blood thirsty animals killing?

Those allowing the killing of innocent victims will never go unpunished .

Time shall tell!

In a country where human lives are worthless due to the high rate of deaths,killings consciously and unconsciously without the government curbing the rate . The factors that can kill Nigerians are still increasing like boko haram , fulanis heldmens terrorists, hunger, bad roads,corruption, failed promises by APC government etc it means the government is failing .

Seconded 100%

Advice you get a good location for shop and start selling phones,accessories and computers accessories.

I will restructure the political and economical structure of Nigeria so that only visionary, competent, digital brains will be able to win or be selected in government.

Only God will save us.

All those suffering in hospitals and at home we wish them quick recovery and strong health.
