petchi: Have you seen how you reason. So a cow is now more valuable than a human life. You should go back to nursery school and get sense. You reason like a three years old child. Oh, ok. I'm sorry if I've passed the wrong message. What i was trying to say is, what fayose announced to us was already going on but that action just drive the fulanis out without doing anything. They will always wanna pay back a perceived ill treatment even though they are usually the first aggressors as a result of their cattle feeding off people's farmland. Bros me and you dey together for dis matter. The nomadic Fulani don't behave normal in what concerns their cows, willing to take human lives because of cows... A very unfortunate thinking among people who are supposed to be my compatriots. |

Ah bros. Enugu was well planned o, calabar too. I think the successive govts- Eastern region, Enugu state etc have done well in maintaining the standard of Enugu particularly. |

babdap: RIP to d dead, Fayose could hv provided does chemicals for the farmers to spray on their farms and rivers. If he had provided it herdsmen would had vacate the state and the killings would have been technically avoided. Do you think the fulanis just attack because they like attacking people without slightest provocation? Don't you think this attack in Ekiti is probably a result of the fulanis losing their cows maybe through this means you're talking about hence their venting their anger on the people? |

Godgay: see oga like my Edo senator talk " the graving reserves won't even be discussed at the floor of Senate",see take your f*cking reserve to the north is that too hard to ask? It wasn't a senator that said that according to the report but a member, Edo state house of assembly and i support it. I think the problem here is information gap. I'm a very fierce opposition to the issue to mapping out grazing reserves especially in the south too. But from what i understand now, the Min. Of Agric. Will use this money to obtain land for the purpose. So it's still govt. Land. And our senators have stated it clearly that it'll be a very tall dream to forcefully take land from states, without the normal process, for reserves of such. Let's not forget the powers over land allocation resides with the state govt. So i think it's fair. |

BlackBaron: I'd be more interested in Government encouraging unemployed youths having farms that can produce all the bales of grasses needed for consumption and the cattle rearers in comparison would have to seek out private lands from willing sellers.
Missed opportunity for nomads looking at purely beef, ignoring the possibility of further profitability via dairy farming, leather and sale of manure. The latter is also possible for biogas to sell on or produce their own off grid electricity like done in India and Kenyan farms.
Ultimately, except within the confines of ranches, rearing bovine livestock outside of designated areas should be a chargeable offence. Spot on. |

Wealthgang: Very nice input sir. On d education of fulani herdsmen, I don't think that's even necessary. Why? because deep down pple know what's right or wrong n d criminal ones will continue to be criminals. How feasible is it to carry out such training when some of dem r not even Nigerians. Even after d training, u'll still hear of clashes btw herdsmen n flashes. I also blame customs n immigration for allowing our borders to be so porous. Give dem bribes n they turn d other way. I don't know what bizness outsiders have coming here to raise cattle Most of d herdsmen we see r not even d real owners of d cattle. So d sensitization should start from d big alhajis up north who actually own d cattle. Even Igbo men in d north own cattle too and d cattle is herded down south for grazing. The era of raising cattle d cheap way should STOP. I recommend ranches 100%. D real cattle goons have been so lazy entrepreneur wise n have chosen instead 2 do cattle bizness d caveman way. Maybe if Dangote had shown interest in cattle farming, we won't be facing all these mess.
Believe me, d much circulated quip abt d govt dashing money 2 favor cattle rearers is unfounded (all tnx to social media bigots). Nigeria does not have dat kind of money to throw around. I agree with u dat they shud be supported with loans on setting up d ranches, just like loans r given 2 other farmers.
Another thing I suggest is dat all cattle herders (in d meantime) should be issued ID cards bearing license numbers, states of origin, owner of cattle, etc to properly identify dem. This can be done thru their leaders. Security operatives n even vigilante groups can identify dem with this. Those who move abt w/o it should be arrested. This can help differentiate btw d real herdsmen n terrorists. Ok sir. I think I'm clearer on the money the FG is spending now. It's purchasing the land through the ministry of Agriculture so it's govt. land and it'll be purchased to help the situation. So it's not really a dash as such as the land will still belong to the Fed. Min. Of Agric. I agree with your other points 100%. People should be adequately carried along in these issues through proper info. dissemination and public enlightenment. Thanks for the discourse sir, it's been interesting i must say. |

Jhappy: U and I re completely on same page on this! And I also insist that FG cannot and will not impose it on unwilling states! And I am yet to see any indication that it (FG) intends to do so! Am jus appalled at pple taking advantage of the whole issue to blackmail the FG as a Jiahadist and land grabbing marauder! If u ask me I do not even want grazing reserves in the South! You see, people have their fears i don't totally blame them. They have reasons, substantial sometimes. So the onus lies on the FG through the minister of Agriculture to be very transparent on this matter. They should unveil a concise policy direction on these issue, carry all the necessary stake-holders along and you'll see the tension douse. Didn't you see the proposed 'grazing reserves bill' being peddled around the other time? Tell me who'll see that on the other side and not be afraid. Mind you, the ranks of the Miyatti Allah association always okayed the proposal whenever they were asked about it which only means they know about it. The DSP, Ekweremadu later came out to say there was no such bill before the senate but that such bill will not even sail through if it came up. Note: parts of the so-called bill says the President himself will appoint the chairman of the grazing authority and one(maybe an aggrieved farmer or so) can sue them only after receiving permission for the Attorney-general of the federation. Well, lemme not go too far but the FG should come out clean and be transparent on this matter because it's very sensitive. Thanks sir. |

Jhappy: I never supported pMB taking land from the south for grazing reserves! What I am saying is that Nothern state govs who ve all already indicated interest in the project should be allowed to create reserves and not for us to be criticising them blindly! Besides I ve not seen anywhere the president has indicated that he intends to steal land from the South for such purpose! Jus stop hating! U re being told that hausas hate ibos, but maybe u ve never lived there ursef! Don't believe evrytin u hear frm the bigots in ur area! Fulani herdsmen do not kill ibos only! They even kill themselves as well!The violence they perpetrate against themselves re sometimes not reported to authorities! They re jus like the animals they rear! Religion has no hold on them! Muslim clerics don not even think to approach them in the forest where they re domiciled! If hausas hate ibos I still wonder why they (ibos) wud rather prefer to die than live the north! Stop the propaganda! Millions of ibos in the north don't want the country to divide! We should jus stop hating others! An average Ibos mentality is to hate evrybdy but themselves! I understand your point sir. But what we're saying is the FG shouldn't make this look like the way they're making it appear. States have power over land. Nobody can stop the Kaduna state govt. for example from establishing reserve or whatever. So the FG should work with the Northern states who are will to key into this project provided it's sustainable. The power to allocate land resides with the Governor of a state. But what most sountherners are saying is if any fulani or anybody at all wants land for cattle business or soothing like that, come and obtain the land, the normal way, establish a ranch and keep your cattle with the confines of that ranch so that it doesn't disturb farmers. On the issue of finance, the FG and willing state govts can provide soft loans to them to encourage would-be ranchers, just like it's done to other farmers, instead ot this outright dash. I hope you understand the point. |

diegwu01: What you are asking is similar to a question like "Why should the government Build roads for me to run my private Business"?, its the culture of the Herdsmen to move around and feed and grow cattle its as old as civilization itself. If you decide to rear cattle , you can use the reserve, everyone is welcomed.
But this isn't the idea behind creating the reserve, the aim is to curtail the excesses of of the Evil and murderous terrorist amongst them. the Herdsmen issue has been in the governments burner for a very long time, thousands have been have been killed in clashes between them and farmers in the middle belts and northern region, if the government plans to restrict their movement, save lives and avoid clashes by purchasing reserves, i dont think its a bad idea Ranching is a better option. Private ranches should be encouraged especially by providing soft loans, just like is done to other farmers to interested cattle rearers. Atiku has announced he's taking the bull by the horn in establishing ranches 'nationwide' to help the situation. He already has a feed processing plant in Adamawa and he's building a big feed plant for cattle, horses etc in Abuja. That's the way to go. |

Wealthgang: U made sense. But FG is not forcefully taking lands from anybody or planning to do so. The N940m is for d ministry of agric for land purchase. Pple are just brewing storms in a teacup What the govt. should do through the ministry of Agriculture is what is called farmer education for the fulani herdsmen especially in the best way they should relate with farmers they encounter in the course of grazing at least for the time being. But most importantly, they should be encouraged to set up ranches, and embrace modern systems- THAT'S THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION. There's more than enough lands for this up North. The ministry of Agric. can also create a productive value chain from this. Fallow lands can be irrigated up north and used for large-scale grass cultivation(i thought they were importing good quality ones from Brazil?), hay or other forms of feed bought by farmers and used in feeding the cattle; cow dung used for manure and even biogas etc. On financing, the FG should help by providing loans, just like it's done to other farmers, on single digit to cattle rearers wanting to establish ranches. N940 million(that's 1 Billion) of Nigeria's money for free to aid cattle farmers? It's outright partiality. This grazing reserve issue coming form the FG does not make sense. There are better ways to do these without trampling on the sensibilities of Nigerians. FYI: Atiku has decided to take the bull by the horn by establishing ranches 'nationwide' and a big feed processing plant in Abuja(he already has one in Adamawa, his home state). That is the way to go. Thanks sir. |

Politics › Herdsmen/farmers Clashes: Atiku Unfolds Plans To Build Ranches Nationwide by Opharhe(op): 5:23pm On May 21, 2016 |
By Omeiza Ajayi Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has said he would build cattle ranches to reduce the incidences of violent altercations between Fulani pastoralists and sedentary farmers. Consequently, Abubakar is set to open a factory, Rico Gardo, in Abuja which would produce animal feeds of various types including for cattle, small ruminants, horse and poultry. According to a statement issued Friday in Abuja and signed by the Media Adviser to the former vice president, Mazi Paul Ibe, “abundant animal feed, according to analysts will make possible the plan of the Federal Government to limit and control the movement of herdsmen and their cattle through the provision of ranches in selected locations across the country”. He expressed optimism that the factory, when operational, would enhance the federal government’s plan to revive the nation’s economy through agriculture and agro-allied industries. “Rico Gardo already produces animal feed in its factory in Numan, Adamawa State. “The feed company to be sited at Idu Industrial District in the Federal Capital Territory would provide thousands of direct and indirect jobs as well as conserve scarce foreign exchange for the country by providing high quality made-in-Nigeria animal feed for the nation’s livestock sector." source: www.vanguardngr.com/2016/05/herdsmenfarmers-clashes-atiku-unfolds-plans-for-cattle-ranches-nationwide/ |

agbangam: Previous govt did nothing about dis Fulani issue, rather their "do nothing action" allow d crisis to escalate. Right now we have a sensible govt dat wants to end d crisis and prevent cattle from roaming and destroying farms but some yeye pple won't contribute their own idea on how to stop d menance rather all dey wud do is to insult PMB for trying to end it. Yes, we want a solution. But the solution should not be to the detriment of our farming communities thereby causing more and bigger problems. The best solution is the establishment of ranches in the North or any other place, obtaining the lands through the normal process. Then, the cattle will not have to roam the length and breadth of Nigeria. The FG can assist, fine. But particularly, the Northern state Govs. Should key into this. If anybody wants land in my hometown whether for cattle ranching or whatever, you can come and buy, obtaining it the normal way. This federalisation of cattle business will not just work especially in the south, Lailai!!! |
