PMB must not listen to what your Govs say, like every conversation one group does not try to lord it's opinion on the other. Using vuvuzelas and social media to reecho your opinion in a bid to force it down the throat of other people won't work. That they express their opinion does not make it a law unless and until they pass such as law

PMB is not a herdsman, be ranches and believe ranching is the future of herding. Under him, our able VP lead a team to developed the National Livestock Transformation Plan NLTP to facilitate the process of ranching.

Govs have continued to be a stumbling obstacle to its implementation because they see the farmers herders conflict as good politics.

This is why despite forking out 100b, GEJ failed epically in achieving Ranching.

So the issue remains we need to talk to each other not at each other as you seem to suggest here.

FULANI thinks they own Nigeria.

But they can never have it.

They better start putting on their thinking cap to live with the reality that open grazing has been ban in the southern part of Nigeria.

The fulani herdsmen thought that President Buhari will be able to use federal might to seize the land and water of the indigenous people and give it to them.

They forgot that in a democracy the people rights are protected by laws of the land.

THIS IS NOT THE TIME OF MILTARY GOVERNMENT WHEN AUTHOLITARIAN RULE WAS IN VOGUE.

Meanwhile, the federal government has no power to control land in the state they can only exercise federal powers in Abuja as far as land matter is concerned.

Fellow Nigerians, following President Buhari's decision to reclaim all officially gazetted grazing reserves/routes, I decided to conduct my own findings as to where exactly these gazzeted cattle routes are located. What I found was rather interesting and I will present it here for the purpose of enlightening the public.

My research focused only on the gazzeted cattle routes as that was what PMB said he would reclaim.

Do you know that in the entire south, it is only Oyo state that has 2 gazzeted cattle routes/reserves? The rest don't have. See below the breakdown of the officially gazzeted cattle routes in Nigeria;

There are 140 gazetted grazing reserves (Adamawa—31; Bauchi—27; Borno—15; Gombe—4; Jigawa—2; Kaduna—2; Kebbi—1; Kogi—1; Kwara—1; Nasarawa— 7; Niger— 2; Plateau— 1; Sokoto— 8; Taraba—9; Yobe— 17; Zamafara— 6, FCT— 4 and Oyo— 2.

I am not very sure PMB is aware of this distribution. He may be aware that there are gazzeted grazing reserves, but if he now discovers that what is officially gazzeted does not even include almost the entire south, I am not sure he will still pursue the agenda of reclaiming these reserves.

I also found out that as far back as the time these reserves were created, the committee recommended the adoption of a more sedentary method of cattle rearing or ranching. In a paper written by S.A. Ingawa, C. Tarawali and R. von Kaufmann, ILCA Subhumid

Research Site(1989) available at: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://cgspace.cgiar.org/bitstream/handle/10568/4349/x5516e.pdf%3FisAllowed%3Dy%26sequence%3D1&ved=2ahUKEwjM99OqvZbxAhXKEWMBHRnaCEEQFjAAegQIAxAC&usg=AOvVaw1y8BFWlPYpvbgFx53pnwIZ,


the authors listed some of the problems with open grazing of cattle and the need to implement a solution that is both beneficial to the pastoralists and the farmers.

The research is an eye opener and also a deep revelation as to how government can indeed resolve any problem if they intend to, with honesty and fairness.

As for the gazzeted grazing reserves in question, there are only 140 which I have listed. Although some were never officially gazetted, I have excluded them from this post because the focus is on the officially gazetted ones.

Many southerners own cows and pay Fulanis to rear them but when an adult sniff rapist cownu urine soaked shoes for inspirational guidance and mortgage his dead brain cells to the bleating goat you shouldn't expect such disadvantage individual to reason.

Your post is nothing but the pained rants of a defeated loser. I'm not Igbo, I'm Yoruba and I'm telling you that you, your fathers, your ancestors and generations yet unborn can NEVER get an inch of Southern land for fulanis to rear cattle.
In a short while, southern local communities will begin to enforce the ban on open grazing and any cattle found in the bush will be treated as bush meat. It will be slaughtered and distributed to the communities. By that time, let's see the southerners who own the cows. grin

Good research bro!

However, how can Oyo State have an officially gazetted cattle routes/reserves said to have been created around 1964 when Oyo State came into existence in 1976? What are your thoughts on this?

Thank you! Those who don't have the balls to criticize Jonathan or OBJ for sentimental reasons think they are making sense when they attack the likes of Soyinka and Sowore for criticizing Buhari? Is it not clear that they are no different from those who see nothing wrong in anything done by Buhari? A Buhari zombie is mentally the same as an OBJ/Jona zombie, period.

No president anywhere in the world comes as a total package. You will agree with him in some areas and you will disagree with him in others, but for some mumu Nigerians, it's all or nothing utopian approach betraying their clueless mindset about leadership.

This is article was published in 2014 under a different government.

Just sharing the info, I still disagree with grazing reserves and the so-called gazettes that were created at a totally different time and when most of the states today were not even in existence.

https://businessday.ng/agriculture/article/fg-to-resuscitate-415-grazing-reserves/

FG to resuscitate 415 grazing reserves - BusinessDay
Apr 16, 2014


To end the constant clashes between herdsmen and farmers, create massive jobs and harvest other economic benefits, the Federal Government plans to resuscitate the 415 grazing reserves in the country.

Akinwunmi Adesina, minister of agriculture and rural development who made this known at the ministry in Abuja recently, said only 141 of the available 415 grazing reserves around the country were mapped and gazetted. Even then, he expressed doubt that any of the mapped and gazetted reserves was being effectively managed to realise the objective for creating them.

Adesina therefore said it was to address these inadequacies with a view to optimising them that President Goodluck Jonathan directed the establishment of a technical committee with the active commitment and involvement of all stakeholders, including relevant ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) as well as states and local governments, with a mandate to develop maps and do an inventory of existing facilities for their effective utilisation.

According to him, the committee is to ascertain whether the facilities, which included those needed to facilitate livestock fattening such as water, fodder as well as veterinary and extension services existed and were adequate.

Adesina also pointed out that apart from addressing national security issues, resuscitating the grazing reserves had tremendous economic benefits, saying, “… the global Halal certified beef industry was worth $623 billion in 2011, and has leap-frog to $2.3 trillion in 2013. Argentina, Brazil, Spain and Australia are the major countries supplying Halal beef to markets located mostly in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia where about 5 million visitors go every year for religious and other purposes. The Halal beef market is more of business than faith. The Federal Government made a case for Nigeria to be admitted to the world Halal Beef Commission and enrolled as a supplier, during the meeting of agriculture ministers at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland earlier this year, given the large number of cattle in Nigeria.”

The minister therefore canvassed for “raising and fattening cattle and other livestock at serviced grazing locations rather than roaming them from place to place in search of grass, thereby they become lean and their meat is tough when slaughtered.”

He added: “Livestock grow much faster and fatter if raised in sedentary conditions, and it makes more economic sense to transport processed meat and meat products to local and foreign markets in hygienic conditions, and according to acceptable standards than transporting live cattle.” He noted that this would eliminate much of the clashes between herders and farmers that we see today and national security would improve.

An inter-ministerial technical committee tasked with working out modalities for mapping and resuscitating the 415 existing grazing reserves and stock routes spread across the country has thereby been inaugurated. This includes ministers of environment, works, interior, water resources, science and technology as well as national planning with commissioners of agriculture of all 19 states of North-Central, North-East and North-West geo-political zones as well as some adjoining states.

Other bodies represented on the technical committee are the Office of the National Security Adviser to the President, Office of the Surveyor General of the Federation, National Orientation Agency and the International Livestock Research Institute. It has two weeks from Friday, April 11, this year to submit its report to the inter-ministerial committee.
