Astark:
The Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki said his administration will not avail the federal government land for the contentious Ruga settlement in Edo State.

The Governor spoke while giving a lecture on the topic “Challenges of Pastoralism and International Migration for Sustainable Peace and Development: Edo State Experience” at the Department of State Services Institute of Security Studies (Executive Intelligent Management Course 12), in Abuja.

He said the narrative that the pastoral movement and farmer/headers clashes are not related to the security challenges in Nigeria is not true.

His words: “In Edo State, we have found so-called herdsmen with maps in the forests, they clearly cannot be herdsmen who are dependent on their livelihood from their animal assets; that cannot be.

“I think it is important in the context of this discourse to make that distinction between conflict as a result of economic activities, separate from deliberate conflict that is related to other issues like insurgency and terrorism.”

The Governor said over the years the state has had issues of pastoralists or herdsmen who have come to parts of the South, Edo State using grazing routes and mixing with locals.

“Our approach is, animal husbandry is a business just like we have poultry, piggery or what have you, so from that perspective, we want to now upgrade agricultural practices as it relates to livestock.

“During the era of General Babangida, he set up ranches in Edo; we have one in Igarra and several parts of the state. They are either privatized or left fallow, so we are talking to people who purchased them to see how they can be re-activated.

“For us, because it is business like any other private business, the state should not really have much to except we create an enabling environment for those people we want to invest in livestock business.

“So, the issue of giving state land for livestock, it won’t happen in Edo State.

“However, for individuals who have land and they want to go into livestock business like we are supporting people who are doing cassava and others, we as government will support them.”

On how to resolve the incessant herders/farmers conflict, he said: “The Sambisa Grazing Reserve (4800 ha) is an ideal and symbolic place to take-off by establishing a ranch run by the military.

“It would significantly improve the security situation in the zone and encourage cooperation between pastoralists and the military.
“In the North West, the military should also be encouraged to create ranches in the Gidan Jaja Grazing Reserve (565,000 ha) for the same purpose of improving security and cooperation with pastoralists,” the Governor said.

Obaseki said violent extremism, recurrent herder-farmer conflicts, cattle rustling, armed banditry, violent cross-border crimes, insurgency, illegal migration and other forms of crimes have “threaten the fabric of our country. ”

According to him, national cohesion is seriously threatened by the conflict “as many farmers and pastoralists have lost their lives and property in several orgies of violence.

“As we gather here for this lecture, so many Nigerians are living in fear of attack or reprisal attacks due to the growing herders-farmers’ conflict,” he said.

Igbere TV just obtained the photos of Army Colonel who was killed by in recent ambush Boko Haram terrorists.


Col. Kinsgsley E. Elemele, according to reports gathered by Igbere TV, who happens to be the Chief of Staff to 29 Task force Brigade lost his life in recent line of battle with Boko Haram in Borno state.


It was earlier reported on Thursday that a Nigerian army colonel including five other gallant soldiers were killed in an ambush by rebel fighters in northeast Nigeria's Borno state.


According to the reports, heavily armed fighters from the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) group on Wednesday, opened fire on a patrol vehicle of soldiers who were on their way to Maiduguri from Damaturu, the capital of neighbouring Yobe state, when the rebels attacked them around 16:20 GMT, near Jakana, 30km from the state capital Maiduguri, killing all the soldiers on board.


The attack was repelled by soldiers at the base, with ISWAP fighters abandoning weapons and one vehicle as they fled.

Igbere TV gathers that the attacks came hours after a military chief in the northeast warned "terrorists" in the region to disarm or be destroyed.


So many soldiers and civilians have been lost within the course of the war and the battle is beginning to seem like one which will end in a Pyrrhic victory for the nation.

Any south south or south east person who died in this bokoharam war died for absolutely nothing the fulani north is systemically eliminating all ss and se personnel in the nigerian military using this war against bokoharam as a cover up, that's exactly how Argentina wiped out all blacks in their country by continuing sending them to the war front to be killed.

‘Declare death sentence for cultists, any Fulani herdsman that kills’ – Primate Ayodele urges Senate, Presidency

The leader of INRI Evangelical spiritual church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has urged President Muhammadu Buhari, the senate president, Ahmed Lawan to declare death sentence for any cultists, and all Fulani herdsmen that have been confirmed to have killed anyone in the country.
The Prophet who spoke in his church in Lagos made it known that security is a big issue in the country and it needs urgent attention in order to ensure safety of the citizens of Nigeria.

He also said if the President isn’t truly in support of the terrorist acts of the above mentioned organizations, he should act on passing an outright judgement to anyone found wanting.

‘’Senate should pass bill that gives death sentence to cultists and any Fulani herdsman that kills. If Buhari isn’t in support of the terrific act of some Fulani herdsmen, cultists in Nigeria, he should make it a law that any one found wanting be sentenced to death in order to tackle the insecurity in Nigeria and if the senate President, Ahmed Lawan knows he isn’t just a rubber stamp, he should pass a bill that has to do with passing death sentences for cultists and any Fulani herdsman that kills’
He further reinstated that President Buhari has exhausted all his ideas concerning leading the country and tackling security issues in the country.

It would be worthy of being noted that the terrorist activities of some herdsmen in the country has caused a lot of death in some states and has made it very hard for the economy to move on the pace it is supposed to. The activities of cultists have also wrecked havoc especially in our higher institutions and might result into something more dangerous, if not attended to.

This is practically impossible how will the fulanis realize the dream of their forefathers of islamizing the whole of nigeria?

How many farms and lives wwere destroyed before these cows grew up like this?

It's a known fact that anywhere there is Islam, backwardness follows.

The northern Nigeria is the most backward region with illiteracy and unimaginable poverty and there is no hope in sight to solve it. The north practise Islam and this is the reason they are backward and frustrated.

The north needs to do away with Islam and embrace the light

I will not totally agree with you that it's the practice of Islam that's the cause Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Malaysia etc are all muslims nations but they are doing extremely very well u will never find any almaljiris system over there compared to northern nigeria. The real problem of north is the fulanis who wrongly uses Islam to impoverish, brainwash, control and enslave the indigenous large population of the north.
All the ruling emirs in the north are all fulanis does it mean that other tribes like the hausas are not fit to also become emirs?

Omooba77:
Gusau – Rabiu Zuru, national president of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), said on Tuesday that the Fulani people had been pushed to the wall and that was why killings and kidnapping had remained pervasive in Zamfara State.

Addressing the state governor and stakeholders at a town hall meeting in Gusau, the state capital, the Fulani leader maintained that the Hausa community had offended the Fulani people beyond forgiveness.

According to him, the Hausa people would sell portions of lands to the Fulani people only to sell the land again to Hausa people thinking that the Fulani people are fools.

He said even if the Fulani people came back to claim the lands they bought, they would be asked to pay more before they could claim the lands.

The Fulani leader maintained that the Hausa people usually killed their people and stole their animals, insisting that attacks by the Fulani were reprisals.

“These are some of the main reasons why the Fulani people picked offence against the Hausa people,” he revealed.


Responding, the chairman, Zamfara State Council of Chiefs, Alhaji Attahiru Mohammed Ahmed, blamed the Yansakai group for killing innocent citizens, especially the Fulani people in the state.

According to him, the Yansakai group would just enter the market and start killing the Fulani people without reason.

The Emir equally blamed security operatives for arresting and killing innocent citizens of the state, saying it was not fair to blame insecurity in the state on the Fulani people only.

The Fulani leader said if the state government could stop the Hausa people from killing, harassing, and stealing the animals of Fulani people, the recurring killings and kidnappings would end in the state.

In his own reaction, the state governor, Bello Mohammed Matawalle, assured that his government would construct roads, hospitals, markets, grazing land, etc so that they could remain stationed in one place.

According to the governor, the state government would set up a high powered committee to find out how best to end the mayhem.

He gave the Fulani leaders a grace of one month to settle with their young ones who, he said, were responsible for the terror attacks and kidnappings in the state.

Our correspondent reports that immediately after the meeting, the whole Fulani people entered into a closed door session but the outcome was not yet known as at press time

Confusion in the enemy camp is like the hausas are now beginning to get wiser to liberate themselves from the fulani domination of their lands.

FELLOW NIGERIANS,WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN IF THE NORTHERNERS SHOULD TREAT THE IGBOS THE SAME WAY THEY ARE TREATING THE NORTHERNERS?
THE AGONY OF A PROUD NORTHERNER AND A HAUSA-FULANI!!!

I am one who has shown you love while you pay me back with so much hate,pains and disgust

I am one who has accommodated you for years in my land and you have refused to accommodate me in yours

I am that HAUSA-FULANI who has allowed you to establish yourself and your businesses in my land for years without stigmatising you

I am one whom you have refused to give a space to build a house nor a shop and treated like an outcast in your lands

I am that person who has been blamed for every crime committed even when most are not even committed by me

I am your step-sister/brother who has been quiet over the years that our father has been spending billions of naira in the name of amnesty just for peace to reign.

I am the one who kept quiet when our father spent more than $20 billion a year on subsidies for farm businesses. About 39 percent of the nation's 2.1 million farms receive subsidies, with the lion's share of the handouts going to the largest producers of corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton, and rice.

I am the one that is still quiet when our father plans to give N200bn intervention funds to boost the production of palm oil, cocoa, sesame seed, shea and cashew,through the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Now that our father tries to extend same gesture towards me and you complain and call me names?

You've been accusing me of killing your people,destroying your farm lands and kidnapping in your lands even when from the arrest so far,it has shown on the contrary and our father decided to provide solution to end the clashes between us by firstly coming up with the issue of ranches which you vehemently kicked against, he then came up with cattle colony yet, you said no,he talked about providing radio station to educate me and my family on the need for peaceful co-existence yet,you kicked against it.

I fear the Northerners might come up with their own rejections of the igbos in there land soon.

God bless Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Get behind me satan u people are a curse and a menace to any community that decides to habour u people the evidence of how brutish, genocidal, mean, cruel dominiary, archaic and barbaric are all over nigeria for every ordinary nigeria to see.

hardtoget:
On 6th February 2014 the Leader of IPOB and the Lion of the East, my friend and brother Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, said the following:

“As they campaign vigorously for elections, you would think, they are coming to grow the economy, enthrone justice, breed unity and tolerance, love for one another. No, they are coming to elevate Hausa-Fulani supremacy, to reposition the security agencies by sacking all competent hands and replace them with their kinsmen to drive their ethnic domination of the Biafrans, the Fulani herdsmen will be armed and encouraged to slaughter us with impunity, and their masters will protect them. They are coming to ensure that my people are enslaved forever. Those who do not, believe me, will soon see it happen before their eyes.

There is no gainsaying that he has been proved right.

On 2nd December 2014, he went further by saying, “Then a group deadlier than Boko Haram will emerge, they will seize our farmland, rape our women, kill our people and their master will protect, defend and even arm them because their sole agenda is to enslave us forever. Those who cannot see it now will soon see it. The hatred in their souls for my people is legendary. They do not see us as humans. They kill, they slaughter, they burn and they destroy. Mindless bloodletting is in their DNA. My people are in trouble”.

5 years later every word that Nnamdi has uttered in this prophecy has come to pass. Love him or hate him can anyone doubt the fact that God spoke through him on at least these two occassions?

What have we not seen in Nigeria? What have we not been through? What have we not suffered? What have we not been afflicted with? What have we not been subjected to?

First, it was political sharia. Then Islamist Boko Haram. Then terrorist Fulani herdsmen. And now Ruga cow settlements.

Nigeria has become the biggest shithole on the African continent. We are like an open public toilet that has never been flushed. Everything about our country stinks!

They say they want to establish Ruga settlements all over the country for the Fulani and their cows. Is cattle business Government business?

Cows were made for men, men were not made for cows. Cow-love is unnatural and bestial. For a man to view a cow as a woman and feel aroused by it is sickness.

They cannot push a nation to the brink of war simply because of their inexplicable and disgusting attraction to a mooing cow and their inordinate ambition and insatiable desire to conquer others.

They cannot use their cows and herdsmen from hell to cut us short and mow us down like the winter wheat and the summer grass.

They have taken everything from us: our nation, our dignity, our identity, our future, our self-respect, our destiny, our lives, our liberty, our faith, our hope, our resources, our substance and so much more. And now they want to take away our land!

Well, I have news for them: this will not happen without a fight! It can only happen over our dead bodies! They have removed the gloves and they are brazenly baring their fangs.

Ours is a government of the Fulani, by the Fulani and for the Fulani. Ours is not a nation but a conquered, occupied and subjugated vassal state which was specifically and cleverly crafted and forged for the benefit and advantage of the Fulani, their stooges and their cows.

This is self-evident. It is an incontrivertable and indisputable fact. And it raises a number of fundamental questions about our supposed unity and so-called nationhood.

We are constrained to ask: are we really one nation? Were we EVER one nation?

Chief Obafemi Awolowo, the Premier of the old Western Region of Nigeria and the erstwhile Leader of the Yoruba, raised this question in his famous book titled “Paths To Nigerian Freedom” as far back as 1947 and his answer was a resounding “no”.

Afrobeatsglobal:
In the wake of the heavy outrage against Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, COZA, over alleged rape and molestation of women, another woman has surfaced levelling similar allegation against the general overseer of the Synagogue Church of All Nations SCOAN, Prophet T.B Joshua.

It is no longer news that Busola, wife of singer Timi Dakolo, came out last week with revelations of how she was allegedly raped by Pastor Biodun.

Although, the pastor had since denied raping anyone in his lifetime, “even as an unbeliever”, there were mass protests in several locations of COZA on Sunday with members and non member calling for his resignation.

However, the woman, who was on a protest in support of Busola, made claims that Prophet T.B Joshua trapped her in his church for 14 years and raped her. She showed a book which she claimed contained evidence against the cleric in case he denied.

In a viral video, the woman said she was trapped in the church for 14 years before the Lord set her free.

According to her, “This is not the time for make up, this is the time to address. I am also talking on behalf of other young girls that are still in the captivity of TB Joshua. 8-years-old, 14-years-old and 11-years-old are still there.

“Yes, I can say it, because they have money, connections, they can put people down. Enough is enough, if he thinks I am lying, he can contest it in court.”

Prophet Joshua is yet to react to the allegation.

"Rest in perfect everlasting peace baba. We love you, let your haters continue to drown in the evil pit of hatred until it consumes them ad infinitum. May God expose those behind the so-called "Abacha loot" as they remain quiet when his name's being thrown in the dirt and he cannot defend himself because he is dead. Amin.

According to what I heard it's not the governor that ordered the demolition it was rather the original owner of the land who already have a court judgment against the imo state government to reclaim his land.

happney65:
The newly inaugurated governor of Oyo State, Mr. Seyi Makinde, has said he would scrap the N3, 000 being paid by pupils of all public primary and secondary schools in the state and also promised to donate his salary to pensioners.

He admitted that the greatest challenge confronting the state was the issue of poverty and promised to tackle it with a drastic leap in agriculture, just as he pledged to look into the issue of over 400, 000 out-of school-children in the state.

Makinde stated this in his eight-page inaugural speech shortly after he and his deputy took the oath of office at the Obafemi Awolowo Stadium, Ibadan.
However, Makinde said the state was not capable of paying the new N30, 000 minimum wage but was quick to add that, “I believe in true Federalism.

“I believe the states should decide the minimum wage of their workforce based on individual realities. All states are not created equal, so it is against the principle of fairness to apply a blanket rule to govern them all.

“That being said, our plan is to make Oyo the first state to pay above the national minimum wage. We know this is possible. We have already set our plan in motion to make this possible. But, this requires time. We propose staggered increments.

“I met with organized labour during my campaigns and made a pledge to an open relationship. I intend to stand by that promise. We will have a sincere conversation and arrive at the best decision possible. Rest assured that the decision will put your overall best interests first,” he said.

He said, “Ají ṣe bí Òyó làárí, Òyó ò kí ṣe bí baba ẹnìkan.” Oyo leads and others imitate. We are a state proud of our many firsts, adding that, “in 1965, just five years after Nigeria’s independence, the first skyscraper was built in the Western region, in an area that later became part of our beloved Oyo State. Well before independence, this same territory hosted the first TV station in Nigeria, the first university, the first housing estate in Nigeria, the first government secretariat and the first modern parliament. Let me also add that we host the first stadium in Africa, the first dual carriage road and more recently, the first private TV station in Nigeria.

“Reflecting on these firsts makes you realise that there must be something special about this region. The legendary Oyo greatness, the Pacesetter State, lives on.

“Increase their opportunities. Our region that housed the first university in Nigeria now has a state with the seventh highest number of out-of-school children. Over 400,000 children in Oyo State are out of school.
“Effective immediately, the school fees of N3,000 in state-owned secondary schools is hereby abolished. We want enrollments to go up, we want our children off the streets and in the classrooms. We are throwing the school doors wide open. Whoever opens a school door, opens an opportunity. We are opening opportunities for a brighter future.

“We also know that education standards in Oyo State are poor. Oyo State recently ranked twenty-sixth in Nigeria in WAEC performance. While we invite the students to come in, we will focus on raising the standard of education in Oyo State. We will work on providing needed infrastructure and manpower by increasing Oyo State’s education budget to 10% of our total annual budget, increasing yearly until we match UNESCO’s recommendation of 15-20%. We will be a pacesetter state in education.

“We know that quality education is not possible without quality teachers. Quality emoluments and benefits attract quality teachers. We are not ignorant of the plight of our dear teachers. We know the state of the teacher’s pension scheme. During my campaigns, I promised to donate my entire salary as governor to the Teacher’s Pension Fund. I stand by that promise.”

A Nigerian man has taken to social media to expose the plot of scammers who contacted him to get his personal bank details after revealing his BVN and some other details they are not supposed to have.

According to the man, a certain number called him claiming they are calling from a Nigerian bank. They gave out some of his details and then expecting the man to divulge more details about himself.

He then wondered how they got his other details in the 1st place if there are no insiders in the bank.
Read his post:

I just received a phone call from this number – 09036210054 saying he’s from

@FirstBankngr, He told me my Date of birth, BVN and even the first 4 Numbers on my ATM card ,He called me again begging and even asked me to speak with “His manager” .. This a thread of all the Convos.
Here he called me Back again .. It’s now clear that these people have insiders in these Banks Bcs there is no way he could have gotten all those information about me except through someone working in the bank .. Imagine the no of people they would have called today
Here he said I should speak to his Manager .. I became very scared at this junction , A manager working on a Sunday ?

@segalink @FBN_help. it’s high time we began to hold these banks responsible for the frauds going on in Customers accounts . This is getting out of hands.
Nigeria has totally been destroyed. In this 21st Century, Fraudsters go around calling people with Registered phone numbers and No arrest or tracking has ever been made on this people .. A giant of Africa for that Matter !!!
They needed the Remaining Numbers on the ATM Card, The other 3 Numbers at the back and the OTP that would be sent to the phone number . And that’s how they can be able to transfer funds from the account

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has blamed President Muhammadu Buhari for rise in suicides and other social ills in the country.

The opposition party made this allegation in a statement signed by the PDP’s spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, on Sunday, May 26, 2019, Pulse NG reports.

The party further blamed the ruling All Progressive Congress and the President for doing nothing in the face of rising insecurity across the country.

The party said:



The PDP also complained about Nigeria’s rising debt profile under Buhari as well as the alleged elevation of incompetence, deceit, propaganda, failure and “cabal mentality”

Buhari strategy is to frustrate non fulanis in Nigeria to either flee the country or commit suicide in millions so that fulanis can fully take over the whole nigeria.

I may be speaking from naivety but I think our distrust for the Buhari administration - which I must confess is justified - is obscuring our views from seeing the wider benefits of the radio station.

For long this ethnic stock has been brain washed by their political leaders into seeing the whole nation as their inheritance and with impunity they have acted thus.

I feel with a regulated organ like the radio owned by the government speaking truth to them across the nation, their entitlement mentality will be subdued and their feisty nature curbed.

Let us not throw away the baby with the bath water please.

The fulanis are well documented of abusing power and opportunities am 100% certain that they are going to use this radio station for ethnic cleansing.
