Great!. The southern governors need to encourage private cattle ranching in their states. This would render the Fulani herdsmen irrelevant in the south and reduce the incessant attack by the Fulani terrorists.

Dexema:
that's if the powers that be don't start making calls to stop the kings pronouncement.

To hell with the powers that be. We are all Nigerians.

zik4ever:
I hope the mishandling of this menace will not trigger national crisis. Invading people in their homes and farmlands, raping women and slaughtering men should attract the attention of Amnesty International, ICC, and all politicians worth their salt.

Exactly. This should not be tolerated at all.

It's about time. Nigerians need to rise up and take drastic action against the Fulani terrorists. We should stop expecting tribalist Buhari to protect us. He is president of the north after all. The state houses of assembly should pass laws to ban nomadic cattle grazing. We need to declare, by law, the nomadic cattle grazers as outlaws in the south.

Useless report. I guess the so called former INEC chairman does not have a name.

Dollyak:
Mr Adeyeye was the only one that made sense. The country must be restrucutred by empowering the states. There is no reason why each states shouldn't have their own police.

Restructuring is the way to go. All the southern senators should support the position of Senator Adeyeye.

Thank you Prof, for restoring my confidence in you. You have always been one of my heroes in this country.
More prominent Nigerians need to speak up and challenge the dangerous path the tribalist Buhari is taking Nigeria.

Abagworo:
Remove Anambra from any Igbo gathering and it will be successful and peaceful. It is no different from their antecedents here on Nairaland.

You don't know what you are talking about.

Viktor1983:
Every community/neighborhood in Anambra has a state sponsored vigilante outfit, equipped with trucks and shot guns ....These were put in place during Peter obi's tenure... also continued when willie came on board...
The vigilante in the cities are funded by the state and small contributions from locals.
The ones in the villages are strictly handled by the state...Where I live in onitsha( one major street and 8 adjoining lanes) can boast of 25 security men armed with shot guns....
I won't say it's enough but ,we are better off than places who only rely on the police.

You are right. Every community in Nigeria need to have an organized vigilante system overseen by the state government. We don't seem to be security conscious in Nigeria. I noticed that in Anambra State, even when you are organizing a social event, there is security presence.

months:
All well meaning Nigerians have a duty to reject the National Grazing Reserve Bill.

The consistency in violent attack of the Fulani Herdsmen since Nigeria elected a Fulani President in 2015 are no coincidence. They are calculated attempt to persuade Nigerians of the need to expand fulani territorial sphere of influence nationwide. Election time, a small group of fulani army will be in position to intimidate the native on the party to vote to avoid attacks.

As i type, there are more than enough green field in the North that the Fulani have refused to use for grazing. The Fulani never attack muslim communities in the North but are prone to attack Christian communities, buring down homes and Churches.


The burning of Churches underlies a religious incentive and motivation for the attacks of Christian communities in their ancestral homes. The islamisation agenda of the Fulani core North have entered phase 2. The first wave of attacks were from Boko Haram religated to the border of Chad by the GEJ administration. The second wave of attack is by Fulani Herdsmen aka Boko Haram. It is no news that majority of Boko Haram fighters are actually Fulani.


Fulani Herdsmen are not indigenous to Nigeria, they are invaders that subverted the indigenous Hausa communities. Fulani have their homeland in Mali. However, under the proposed National Grazing Reserve Bill which creates a council to be chaired by a Fulani Chairman to be appointed by the president. The council shall have the power to take your land anywhere the land is located in the country and then pay you compensation. Your land, when taken, shall be assigned to herdsmen who shall use your land for grazing purposes. They shall bring cows to the land and you shall lose the land permanently to those Fulani cattlemen".

In this sense, natives will lose the land and fulani will own (gain) the land across the country. If your land has oil or gold, the government will hand it to Fulani and drive you away from the land. Maybe you can go and stay on top water or jump into the ocean, since you have suddenly become landless. There is no guarantee that you will get any compensation in your life time or after death.

The Fulani are muslim and this means that Sharia court will be set up, alongside mosques in their new community and land.The Fulani would have gained a foot hold and forward operating base to attack indigenous Christian communities. They will no longer be guest on the land but land owners. The National Grazing Reserve Bill is invitation to subvert and destroy communities in the North central and South.

Fulani and their cows should be handed Sambisa Forest with its green pastures, that territory is enroute to Mali.

You are on point. A lot of Nigerians are naïve and gullible. If that bill is passed, we might be looking at another civil war because some sections of the country might decide to leave.

ogorwyne:
Nigerians nor chop 'nama' meat in a day? It will be so difficult. I wish we could do that. The message would indeed be a strong one.

The states in the south need to get creative. Apart from boycott, the southern governors can start encouraging the setting up of cattle ranches by the local farmers. This would render the Fulani herdsmen irrelevant in the south.

ogorwyne:
My people have really suffered. Those fulani people have already taken a part of obiaruku already. They now have a community there.
Fulanis are taking over every part of the country by the day. No fear, no caution. Is this what the change is about? If they kill everybody because of cattle, who will buy their cows? Southerners are still their number 1 customers. God help us.
For ever shouting Sai Buhari last year, I ask for Forgiveness. He is also a herdsman. No matter the plight of Nigerians, his family is secured. So long as his people are the oppressors, he has no problem.

We can at least start boycotting beef from Fulani herdsmen. That should send a strong message. Can the average Nigerian muster enough discipline to do that?

BreketeMind:
For those of u who don't know, this is what is happening: Buhari is angry that Boko Haram is only in the North & decided to use the opportunity of his Presidency to unleash terrorism on the South. How then do you explain the acute rise in herdsmen attack since Buhari came into Aso Rock coupled with continued presidential silence over it all & the obvious gross official protection these terrorists-in-herdsmen-uniform have been enjoying? Buhari is planning a genocide down South like this: he will use 'herdsmen' BH to gradually provoke some Southerners to go all out in reprisal. Then, he will send BH in Nig Army against those Southerners to kill them off under the guise of peace keeping. Readers, u may never hear from me after this. But pls, spread this bitter truth no matter how d forces of darkness try to muzzle it - 4 try, they surely will. Let the whole Universe hear this glaring truth. Let those who'd do something do something & let the rest be afraid to die. Yet, they'd die all d same.

You are on point.

charliboy654:
stupid post, this man bought the car with his money. the senators already have fleet of cars but still went ahead to buy cars for official duty, wit tax payer money in this bad economy situation.

How did you know he bought the car with his money?

eyinjuege:
That vehicle doesn't look expensive. Its even an old model.

But it was new when it was bought.

jmichlins:
you are lying with that figure. There are perks that come with leadership position my friend whether you like it or not. This car was bought for the union so all things being equal, next chairman of the union will continue driving this car. If what you have come here to do is to discredit #occupynass then tell your pay masters that we know better

And you don't think there are also perks that come with being a senator?
So when they went to buy a vehicle for the union leadership, they did not see something below a Land Cruiser? Like RAV4, Honda CRV, or a KIA brand. In Nigeria a Land Cruiser would be for a rich individual.
I am not supporting the profligacy by the senators. They are already well paid and can afford to buy themselves the cars they want.
But we need to point out bare faced hypocrisy when we see one.
I hope the NLC president came to the protest ground with his Land Cruiser.

Enugu youths should ignore these criminals that are now running around trying to shield the Fulani terrorists. They should be busy working out a reprisal on the terrorists as soon as they come back with their cows. And Nigerians should realize that we live in a jungle. There is no security here. It's everybody for himself.

Useless man. He will come back from the visit and try to downplay the massacre.

DropShot:
Very unfortunate.

While I will support anyone to criticize and urge the govt to act very swiftly against the terrorists called Fulani herdsmen, this reality is the more reason to support the govt in its bid to establish controlled ranches across Nigeria.

Chest-beating and bragging (just like the guy below) that these terrorists will be dealt with should they come to carry out their act of terrorism of maiming and killing innocent citizens will not solve any problem but instead worsen it. They are terrorists and you bragging to face them are not. So, who wins?

The herdsmen, from time immemorial, have been known to be violent and act irrationally. The only difference now is the advent of social media and better news coverage. While growing up, I could recollect some of their atrocities I witnessed.

The so called controlled ranches should be restricted to your area, please.

Useless man. You need to resign. There was advance notice that the Fulani terrorists were mobilizing for an attack and you could not do anything to protect your people.
Keep waiting for Buhari to come provide protection for your people.

iykopy:
30 what? for gods sake this is fvcking much. make the damn thing 1 wk cos 30 days is lenghty enough to egg on the fulanis to launch anoda deadlier attack. massobians are jokers. IPOB what sayest thou?

IPOB and massob will continue to be jokers to you untill the Fulani terrorists visit your village and then your eyes will clear. Too many fools in this country.

Ushiefrank:
Why judging from one side of the story? Wait and hear their own side, what if it was stop and search? Why was he runing if he did not commit? So you should use you senses before raining abuse and calling them names they have attack any of you unncessary so why? Am sure some of you don't know what thay pass through.

Keep quiet there. The day you encounter these thugs, your view will change.

rexel99:
Remember what pastor niemoller said, remember the Shiites and the defenceless Nigerians manhandled by this weak soldiers. It only a matter of time before this becomes a normal thing in our lives. Shebi Una b de clap hand for them when Dem attack those Shiites.

Don't mind short sighted and foolish Nigerians.

myners007:
WAR START: Military vs Legal. Who will win. Watch out for the movie coming out soon

It's fun to you, right? It could be you one day.

Thanks to all the idiots that voted for the tyrant Buhari. I hope they got the name of their so called commanding officer so the lawyer can sue the thugs you guys call Nigerian soldiers.

A central air conditioner would normally require a 3-phase power supply. In Nigeria, a lot of time there would be light on one or two phases and no light on the other phase or two. That is why people keep switching the phases to get connected to the phase with light.
If you have a central a.c., it would have a hard time working properly under such situations. You will need to have light on all 3 phases.

ifeelgood:
Us that the reward for hailing them? They should go and face herdsmen. Shior

So you were hailing Nigerian soldiers? Those thugs? Continue.

I suspected the parading was just for show. To make it look like Buhari was doing something about the Fulani terrorism.

Firefire:
Funny kon3,

http://www.punchng.com/police-army-disagree-over-56-arrested-herdsmens-whereabouts/

Very funny country.

naso2:
Abeg this is big comprehension lesson for me. make una no vex. From the story, wetin I understand be say
the man and his wife stay in Benin,
the wife travelled to warri to minister,
the wife called that she could not come back to Benin that day becuase it was late,
the woman was found dead in a hotel in Benin

You are correct.

Your commanders will hopefully have their day in court at the ICC. You have enough time to prepare your usual lies. Barbarians.

And some gullible fools are supporting reserving some areas in all states for the marauding Fulani herdsmen. All states in the south need to have strong, armed vigilantes that can be mobilized quickly to deal with the Fulani herdsmen.
