DICKtator:Chai! See wetin too much gay porn don do u ![]() |
ogmask:Yeah, i get. Thanks. |
omoigbomina:The Oba of Benin paid a 'thank you' visit to Obas(Yoruba), Obis(Igbo) and Emirs(Hausa/Fulani) who attended his coronation or sent delegates throughout Nigeria after his ascension to the throne just like Ooni did recently. |
OkoNDOoBo:The Oba goes out but on rare occasions. The picture of the Oba and Queen Elizabeth you're referring to was when Queen Elizabeth visited Benin to meet Oba Akenzua since the Oba, for reasons best known to him, refused to attend the meeting of Kings in the old western region with the Queen at Ibadan. So the Queen had to visit the Oba in BENIN accompanied by Awolowo. The phrase 'Oba no dey go transfer' is generally due to the Oba's reluctance to visit people or places outside his palace(most times due to ritual restrictions)... It's a way of massaging his ego and that of the Edo people. Oba gha tokpe e..... Ise! |
IdomaLikita:You're on point sir. Though I'm from the Niger-Delta, but i've observed that the scales of propaganda championed by the Northern establishment are falling off people's eyes gradually. If something serious is not done quick, this country may fall and the surest bet of the North central is totally dissassociating themselves from the core North. Do this and you'll forever appreciate your emancipation but if you do otherwise... I don't just want to imagine what will happen to you guys, my brothers in Christ. What gives me the most pain in that the approach of the Yoruba leadership to this issue. Very pathetic. |

Awoofawo:You're on point. A farm in Anambra has already started it and the state govt is encouraging it; they've been doing it in Obudu cattle ranch, Cross River state for some time now.... Let other states join in and pursue it aggressively. People will surely make profit overtime because the meat and milk market is undersupplied in Nigeria. With that we'll be killing 2 birds with one stone- prove to them fulanis that it's achievable and it's the best modern practise, compete favourably with them in the meat market and possibly push them out of business. |

mightyhazel:Plsdo whatever you can to help him. We need to take this struggle to another level. |
Xslaze3xd:Okene is North o. Kogi state. |
Xslaze3xd: |
Na today? E don die tey jare. I knew this since they started clearing the Edaiken n'Uselu palace. I loved him so much, a very refined man and good leader .... he lived long too though his father spent a longer time on the throne. RIP Erediauwa. Oba gha tokpe re, Ise. |
kenlash1:Read the news again. The commander visited the Ovie of Uvwie maybe for a related reason but the ultimatum was given by the Ovie of Idjerhe. How many farm Uvwie people dey do. Idjerhe people are famous for farming in Urhoboland and Delta state generally especially for Garri. |
lomprico:I've noticed quite a number of people associating Atiku with this thing. How sure are you? |
militarily: |
gidgiddy:Yeah, i see reason with your position. For me, the Igbos of lower Benue and Igbo-speaking territories of the SS(from Igbanke in Edo to Cross River) will be better under one zone with the SE. The Yoruba-Speaking people of the North (Kwara and Kogi) should also join the SW. The SS can either remain the way it is after the Igbos must have joined the SE OR it'll be split in two- 1. Western(Ijaw-speaking people of Rivers, Bayelsa and Delta states + the Edo-speaking people of Delta and Edo state). 2. Eastern(Cross River and Akwa-Ibom). For the North they can also have 3 or 4 zones based on compatibility or mutual agrreement. #My2Cents |
girlfriendsnatc:You're so on point. I go with you %100. |
Acidosis: but seriously, Kogi needs all the positive collaborations it can get and I'm happy they are collaborating with a very functional Nigerian state like Anambra. Kudos to Governor Obiano. |
jimi4us:I think vanguard has been covering these herdsmen activities quite alright. |
Oyo State Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi,
has said that the proposed creation of
grazing zones across the country is ill-
advised.
He warned that it was against the spirit of
the land use act and the overriding public
interest.
The governor bared his mind on the raging
controversy trailing the alleged sponsorship
of a bill at the National Assembly for the
creation of grazing zones for cattle across
the country as a panacea to the perennial
clash between trespassing herdsmen and
farm owners.
Ajimobi spoke during the launch of the
‘AgricOyo,’ the Oyo State agriculture
initiative, held at Paago, via Iseyin, in Oke
Ogun zone of the state, on Tuesday.
At the event were investors, outgrowers,
beneficiaries, institutional partners,
outtakers, traditional rulers, and top
officials of the state.
The governor said, “This is the time to call a
spade a spade. Those clamouring for
creation of grazing zones across the
country should have a rethink. It is against
the Land Use Act; it is against the law of
natural justice to seize people’s land to
cater for someone’s cattles.
“Grazing zones could be created for those
who are traditional cattle rearers in their
areas. I’m not against that. But, you cannot
come here and tell me you want to occupy
our land for grazing zones. The land exists
in our respective states and as such the
rigthtful owners should decide what to do
with them.
“Anybody outside this zone willing to rear
cattle here will need to approach the state
to buy the land and we offer what is
available with rules. There is no free land
for grazing zones. We need to take this firm
position. It won’t happen.”
On the new agriculture initiative, the
governor was upbeat that it would create
one million direct jobs across the agric
value chain thereby taking many
unemployed youths off the streets.
Ajimobi was upbeat that the state would
become the food basket of the Southern
part of the country in the short run when
the programme commenced in full swing,
with the ultimate ambition of feeding the
country.
The governor, who said that the initiative
was aimed at diversifying the economy of
the state, assured the people that the
programme would add value to the lives of
citizens of the state across different sectors.
He said, “I am elated that the agricultural
initiative has attracted these important
dignitaries in the Agric business world and
as well as a vast majority of our youths as
beneficiaries of the scheme.
“This project will reduce over-dependence
on oil, create wealth, alleviate poverty,
encourage productivity, create jobs and
bring about the overall socio-economic
uplift of Oyo State.
“Farming is very profitable and we will do
everything possible to make it attractive in
Oyo State to diversify our economy.”
He said the phase one of the project would
focus on the production of maize, cassava,
rice, poultry, soya beans and aquaculture.
Speaking on the anxiety of farmers over
security of their lives and their farmlands in
the face of the menace of the marauding
herdsmen, the governor charged the
farmers and the entire rural dwellers to be
more vigilant and report suspicious
activities of offending cattle rearers to
security agencies around them.
He warned that it was illegal for the
herdsmen to destroy farmlands and attacks
farmers in the guise of feeding their
animals.
While welcoming the Governor and his
entourage, the Caretaker Chairman of Iseyin
Local Government, Alhaji Saheed Alaran said
that agricultural has always proven to be a
major aspect of the social and occupational
lives of the people.
He said, “This programme will benefit the
state immensely through the provision of
food and employment to our teeming
youths through the synergy between the
state and the local government
administrations.”
In her opening remarks, the Chairperson of
the State Agricultural Initiative Committee,
Mrs. Tolu Shadipe, lauded the efforts of the
state government in ensuring that the
vision became a reality, a development she
said would take agriculture back to its pride
of place for the economic benefit of the
people of the State.
The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola
Adeyemi and the Aseyin of Iseyin, Oba
Abdul-Ganiyu Adekunle Salawudeen, in their
separate remarks, commended Ajimobi for
the initiative, which they said was
unprecedented since the days of the late
sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo. |
From the state of Osun. But wait o, front page already ![]() |
DONSMITH123:No he's not. He's not supposed to be. But neither are the Fulani herdsmen supposed to be above the law. What about OBJ, Amaechi who was indicted and a host others. Buhari is shooting himself in the foot, If he has any honour, he should come clean and we'll support him but if he continues this way, WATER WEY TOUCH PRICK TO TOUCH BLOKUS. Political correctness should be dumped in the thrash can because that's where it truly belongs as far as Nigeria is concerned, it has taken us no where and it will take us nowhere.... Thank you. |
seunmsg:I don't know why you guys like tweaking things. Pls, explain how Reno Omokri hacked the Enugu victims. As far as I'm concerned, he speaking on their behalf and is calling on the well placed among them to do something. Why should Oby be silent on this issue especially considering her out spokeness? Maybe she'll speak later. |
Fugazi:But why? Must everybody who does not go with your opinion be Igbo? Na wa o. I still stand by my word, the mockery you're talking about as i observed was not directed to the homeless, orphans, widows and widowers of Agatu. It's the polical class(state govt, David Mark etc) and those who are supposedly politically conscious(e.g. Omenka) but blinded by partisanship so much so that they could'nt speak out that were mocked if at all. The people you're accusing actually spoke out on behalf of the Agatu victims. That's not even the main Issue because everybody here, as long as you're form North-central, South-west, South-East and even in recent times South-South(excluding cross river which have been recording encounters with these herdsmen for a long time now) you're in one way or the other threatened by this invasions and the earlier we stood together against the common foe, the better for us. Thank you. |
Realman87:Hmmm Okay. But persuasion is key, insult or no insult. You don't have to repay abuse with another abuse. We cannot continue fighting ourselves while the real enemy watches and laughs at us. God help us. |
superstar1:I beg to disagree with the first sentence sir. Those guys did not really mock Agatu people the way you've put it. It was more of gingering to those guys to do the needful and not wait for govt. I read many comments here and i saw that Igbo folks were more outspoken against the carnage in Agatu while accusing the FG of insensitivity. They sympathised with the victims. The area where I'll agree with you is where they were mocking those who are from that area who were strongly pro-Buhari and will not react to Fulani invasion of their own homeland or even call on the govt. to do something but are fierce antagonists of the opposition. From my observation, they participated more in general public sensitization against the fulani invasions even more than those guys of North central extraction who were the real victims. You should also know that so far, they've put up the strongest resistance to the Fulani menace- online and offline. You remember the other time where the DSS had to come to Aba and were accusing IPOB of Fulani killings? What about the 72 people from this particular Enugu community that the Army arrested, prosecuted before they were bailed just because they stood in protest against the invaders? What about that Enugu native doctor whose story was reported here of how he was shot severally by the same fulani aided with cover-up soldiers after concluding a meeting where the fulani issue was discussed in his village? An Injury to one is an Injury to all. I'm hearing now that over 20 fulanis have already been taken down in reprisals( Not the best, but choices are very limited right now, i just pity the innocents among them). We southerners and middlebeltans have a common enemy in the fulani invaders. I totally support your second sentence. We must come together to purge ourselves of these demons. Thanks. |
Oxenomy:That's one reason i'm happy for the fall in oil price. Let it continue to fall. |
Oxenomy:Seriously, that's what we need right now.we need a loose federal structure. It'll be of great good to all of us. We won't have to cross each others path as much as we have it now all because we want our own share from the centre; Govt. will be more accountable especially to the grassroots, corruption will be greatly reduced, state govts. will be more efficient, quota system will be abandoned, reduced tribal/religious tensions... Infact, the benefits are innumerable. It's high time we revisited the constitution. |
Elijahrona2:What a pity. |
tuale4u:Yeah, i too sensed that was what he was referring to but then, the response was not particular enough. There are many categories of people who criminally disposess others through violence in Nigeria but clearly the issue of Fulani herdsmen is a very peculiar case. Using the word 'armed herdsmen' at least would have gone a long way in hitting the nail on the head. Thanks and happy Sunday. |
lanxlot:OP means 'Original poster'. |

. We have the intelligence, resources and manpower to make it happen. The only thing we lack in the south is unity, and ironically unity is the only major thing the North has going for them but it has always been sufficient to defeat us in the south because of our disunity.
