Who una wan fool? I can bet my life the author is an igbo impostor. They are the only set of people who throw about spurious percentages like 60%, 70%, 90% without facts to back them up when trying to show superiority, not to mention their usual 'Lagos will fail without igbo' anthem. These coming from a set of people whose region is still getting depopulated at an alarming rate in favor of the same SW, and their kinsmen are fast dumping trading for drug-trafficking. Yimu.

OmoAjowa7, where you?

You, of all people, do not need to explain that you do not examine things from the tribal perspective. Your posts are typically well thought-out and balanced. Your posts are one of the few I enjoy reading.

As for your question: I can authoritatively state here that bill known as "An Act for the Establishment of the National Grazing Reserve (Establishment And Development) Commission for The Preservation And Control of National Grazing Reserves and Stock Routes And for Other Matters Connected Therewith" sponsored by Senator Zainab Kure, has already been submitted.

I believe this bill will be passed by a majority of NASS in due course, with the appropriate give and take negotiations with opponents, coupled by sundry encouragements and the full support of Myetti Allah and other interest groups.

nduchucks:
There is no need for name calling, my sister?

What you call my proposal is actually more than that. There exists a bill which will, Insha Allah, become law soon. May I suggest that you reach out to your law makers to oppose this bill? The herdsmen have done their part by pressuring law makers to examine the grazing problem and come up with legislation which can save lives. The bill has been written and will be passed soon enough.

Known as "A Bill for An Act for the Establishment of the National Grazing Reserve (Establishment And Development) Commission for The Preservation And Control of National Grazing Reserves and Stock Routes And for Other Matters Connected Therewith", it has been introduced and will be signed into law, soon enough.

The National Grazing Bill has Seven Parts - google is your friend, use it. dolo

With due respect, I am not proposing infringing upon anyone's rights. What we have here is a major conflict between the way of life of many Nigerian herdsmen, who have the right to roam around anywhere in the country, and farmers whose crops are being destroyed as a result of grazing.

When the herdsmen's way of life is threatened by urban sprawl, population growth etc, they respond with violence. I'm of the opinion that anyone who is caught in the said act of violence should be arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Thinking out of the box, in my opinion, includes taking the first step and providing a "grazing highway" to the herdsmen which would limit the conflicts and actually save lives.

The herdsmen have a constitutional right to free and safe movement throughout the entire country. The said grazing zone will significantly reduce these violent conflicts which have become all too familiar.

"entire country"

Madam, the Federal and State governments spend billions of naira to build road networks for you and other "domesticated" Nigerians. Without those roads, you too may have to cut across people's property to get from point A to point B, causing conflicts which could become violent.

The truth of the matter is, the herdsmen are nomads and it is their constitutional right to remain so, if they wish.

I am 100% for looking for ways to reduce the violence. Amosun's statement is irresponsible, narrow minded, and actually silly

bejeiodus:
It was an error of judgement on our part. We were all looking at his big pockets not his character. I never knew Markarfi could fire such salvo. There is really no gentleman in politics. I expect an "adequate" response from Sheriff soon. I only pray none of them will end up in an ICU after this "roforofo" fight.

“You are all witnesses to the thuggery that took place.Actually, those who remembered how Boko Haram was born, that is how it started.

nduchucks:
This is a very insensitive statement which smacks of ignorance. It completely ignores the nomadic way of life of the herdsmen. To truly solve the problem at hand one must consider all of its components and apply ingenious solutions.

Thinking outside of the box coupled with wisdom is essential here.

Sunday is next tommorow.....counting.


The interesting mix is this>>>>

If anything happens to Buhari, the North will turn on the South West as they would suddenly be faced with the reality of a Redeemed Pastor as President of Nigeria. The South West would have to push real hard against the North which could actually be terrible as the north is not willing to lose out again so soon as they did with Yar Adua. The fake marraige of the North and the South West will collapse in a second and sadly the South west would have to stand alone.

Now while that fight is raging, where would the South South and South East stand?? My guess is that they would support neither. They would simply hug themselves and bid Nigeria farewell....

Sincerely, I fear for Nigeria.

Musiwa419:
Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Ondo and Ekiti have all opposed the grazing bill. Osun state is still silent about the whole issue. We dont know what Aregneshola's position is now. I fear that Osun might be the black sheep of the family.

When sheriff came in,my boss was happy that he was going to help them defeat APC.i have being laughing at him since last week

Very good governor Amosun.

Cattle rearing is a business like poultry and pigry. As poultry farmers and pigry operators build homes for their animals, so should cattle rearers buy land and build ranches for their cattle business.

Samuel Awoyinfa
Abeokuta

Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, has ‎said he is not in support of the proposed creation of grazing zones across the country by the Federal Government.

He said this on Friday at his Oke Mosan office, Abeokuta, while receiving the technical committee on herdsmen/farmers clashes set up by the Chief of Defence Staff, General Abayomi Olonisakin.

Amosun argued that grazing zones could not solve the frequent clashes between herdsmen and farmers, adding that he would rather support the establishment of cattle ranches, by cattle herders as a lasting solution to the conflict.

He described the formation of the technical committee as timely and a step in the right direction.

He said, “People have suggested a number of solutions. But, for me, I would not support creation of grazing zones. They (cattle herders) should take it as a business, probably building ranches‎ privately. We should not try to solve a problem by creating another one.”

The governor urged Nigerians to embrace peace, stating that nothing could be solved with violence.

Amosun advised security agencies to investigate the nationality of the killer herdsmen, if indeed they were from neighbouring countries as being alleged in some quarters.

The head of the technical committee, Major-General Edward Nze, said the panel was set up by the Chief of Defence Staff at the instance of President Muhammadu Buhari.

He said the incessant clashes between herdsmen and farmers in the country was becoming a threat to national security‎.

As part of measures to tackle the menace, Nze ‎said “Operation Accord” would be inaugurated by the military authorities.

Ahead of the operation, he explained that the technical committee had also visited some affected states, including Nasarawa, Benue, Enugu, Zamfara, Ondo, Ekiti and Oyo.

While in Ogun, Nze said, the delegation would meet with relevant stakeholders towards finding lasting solutions to the herdsmen and farmers clashes, which reared its ugly head occasionally in some Yewa area of the state.

Then moved his country forward, made important key decisions which helped its people and then bowed out gracefully at the end of his or her period.”

MadamExcellency:
For your information I have no affinity with any of those Legislators neither are they representing my constituency hence no interest.

Mo assertion is preposterous and unforgiving because she sees everything from political perspective and "we against them" theory.

I am just being realistic, patriotic and fair to all.

justwise:
Madam I have to agree with modath here, your reasoning is just beyond belief for a princess

MadamExcellency:
A case of mistaken identity and cheap blackmail without convincing evidence and infallible proof.

No invitation, No hearing from the accused and the Judge declared a guilty verdict just like that?

Buhari can now see what he caused with his loosed tongue (Nigerians are all corrupt except Buhari, the certificate fraudster.

It is high time Born state Chapter of PDP suspend former chairman Sheriff for gross misconduct and anti party activity. Sheriff's ward executive should also expel him from the party. He has bitten enough

bejeiodus:
Sheriff cannot be thrown out like a piece of trash. He came to the rescue of the party when the party was in dire straits. The party should acknowledge this and find a role for him. No one tills a land without the hope of getting a good harvest....Trying to force him out will only exacerbate the crisis.

I don't think they should be there for life but till u can do the job dnt push away the other man doing it, dyu knw hw many people have stopped going to work because production is low? Dyu even know how much we r loosing a day ? Hw much was tompolo being paid compared to this, train our navy first and take over the creeks step by step.

ziccoit:
No, it can never happen in UK because because nobody condone criminals and criminalities. Tompolo is enjoying the support of ND governors. He installed one of the ND deputy governor. People of ND see him as their hero. So, the security is helpless because a whole region is standing with criminal.
