Buhari, enjoy your south south support

Bayelsa State governor, Senator Douye Diri, has said the state will not resuscitate any grazing route in order to check herders/farmers clashes.

Diri, who was reacting to the recent directive by President Muhammadu Buhari for states to revive cattle grazing routes across the country, explained that Bayelsa would not consider such an idea after prohibiting open grazing.

Speaking during a media chat monitored by a local radio station in Yenagoa on Saturday, the governor explained that although he was not countering the federal government’s decision to resuscitate grazing routes, his administration had put in place a legal framework to ban open grazing and movement of cattle on foot.

He also emphasised that the Southern governors had adopted the same position on the issue as part of measures to check farmers/herders clashes across the country.

He maintained that his government could not afford to expose its citizenry to the looming danger associating with open grazing.

He said: “For us, there are no cattle grazing routes in Bayelsa State.

“Our people are traditionally and occupationally fishermen. The idea of cattle grazing routes in Bayelsa is very strange to us in this part of the country.

“There may be cattle grazing routes in the North but what is applicable in the North may not be applicable to us in the South”

“I don’t want to believe we are running a unitary system of government,” he said.

He, however, expressed his administration’s determination to change the developmental narrative of the state, saying the media interaction was part of activities to commemorate this year’s Democracy Day celebration.

Diri noted that the urban renewal programme among other projects and policies of his administration were part of the drive to give the state a new look and make it more attractive to investors.

Well said... Instead of the president to talk about modern cattle ranching, he is setting Nigeria backwards. We were expecting someone with 1950 brain to lead us in 2021...

If they train Fulani herdsmen on modern ranching, will they die?

There's surely grazing routes in the southwest

Cattle grazing terrorist route kill poo'hari dia.

Come collect land for East wey your grand terrorist bushman dan fodio promise you and your cows.

Na amadioha go strike you for that terrorist route wey you dey dream to create. From there you and your cows go meet your grandpapa bushman dan fodio.

Terrorist.

Bayelsa wey be water everywhere, na swim d cow them wan go swim?..abi na d small dry land them wan go follow drag with the people?
E be like say this fulani herdsmen handshake don dey go beyond the shoulder oooo...

The fulanis should be given Oyo and Osun state as grassing areas

See problem oo.

This will continue even after Buhari hand over to whoever, he has strategically put Fulani in a position to lord over others for the next 20 years with his appointments and policies.
Whether you’re a Apc, Pdp, Apga, Christian, Muslim or traditionalist as long as you’re not of Fulani heritage you need to fight now before it’s too late.

Bullhari is always high on cows dung and ceptic tank sniffing. So i'm not supprised.

Plssss tell the deaf and dump president make he hear

This will happen to any state in Nigeria that still have Fulani herdsmen. I don't need to say much. Keep sleeping

Confirmed! No to primitive ways

But there are more grazing route in south east than the entire Nigeria

South East should be consecrated for grazing.....

Since igbos living in east are few, most of them have run away , let the others go to north ń form northern igbó ń we will use the remaining land in the east for ranching...

No cow grazing in any zone except south east

Wahala be like bicycle!

The herdsmen prefer to take their cows to flood-prone areas in dry season.

Buhari legacy will on in 2023. He has failed to build institutions to sustain his legacy beyond 2023.

And he will be angry calling Nigeria a zoo�

All those people can be forced into retirement just as Buhari has been doing to Southerners

Ok who dey check am

This Buhari is truly a calamity. So he is still busy looking for routes for cows in the 21st century. It's still a wonder how Tinubu packaged this fellow for presidency. Thank God the man is paying him back in his coins.

What is really wrong with Buhari? How is this man still talking about open grazing in 2021. Wow

Grazing routes my ass.
Make i see one nonsense cow herder for my backyard, na to remove his head put for spike

Nonsense country

agulion:
The fulanis should be given Oyo and Osun state as grassing areas

Keep quiet

agulion:

Sounds like @agulion is one of the terrorists on Nairaland!

I have a prophecy to make for Nigerians.

Buhari is getting ready to go on a two thousand years vacation,

This vacation is different from what he usually goes.
His vice will become the president of Nigerian.
The military will try to fight him but will not succeed.

Osinbajo's COAS is coming from the SW
Yoruba will take over NNPC and customs
Igbo man will be COAFS

Osinbajo will grant Biafra's refferendum
