State govt trains 150 cattle breeders, others on feedlot
• Akeredolu introduces Awo’s ranching system, partners CBN on pilot scheme

The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), Ondo State chapter, has embraced the feedlot operational system as alternative to open grazing, saying it will help them increase their profit and end the age-long acrimony with the farmers.

MACBAN State Secretary, Mr. Ahmed Danna, said this, at the weekend, in Akure at the end of a five-day training for corporate bodies, general public and other stakeholders with interest in agricultural value-chain business with special emphasis on feedlot operational system.

It was organised by Ondo State Agricbusiness Empowerment Centre (OSAEC), in collaboration with Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), to train and certify 150 pastoralists in cattle, sheep and goat value-chain business.

Danna, who noted that the training was a welcome development for the association, said the use of technology for meat production would increase their produce and profit margin drastically.

MACBAN State Secretary, who is also the Secretary of the cattle dealers in the state, urged the national body and other cattle rearers to try the initiative put in place by Ondo State government.

He, therefore, appealed for funding for effective start-up. Chairman of OSAEC, Mr. Akin Olotu, assured the participants that the adoption of the feedlot system would not only improve productivity and profit for the farmers, but also reduce the clashes with the host communities.

Olotu added that the state government had chosen to re-enact the ranching system introduced by late Chief Obafemi Awolowo in the Western Region, saying that it is also partnering notable financial institutions for funding.

Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, urged the participants to think more on opportunities that abound in the entire value-chain of agriculture. Represented by the Head of Service, Pastor John Adeyemi, he said his administration thought it expedient to revamp and reintroduce feedlots, which was a variant of ranching with support of FAO.

He said it was another milestone geared towards creating jobs, ensuring food security and promoting peaceful co-existence among inhabitants of the state via eradication of farmers/herders clashes.

Fact is that the fulanis can't go on causing people pain unchecked, an igbo adage says that a child who says his father won't sleep will also not sleep.Thats exactly the case of fulani herdsmen with the rest of Nigerians

The fulanis aren't really powerful like we think,it is just a divided south that kept fueling their pathetic nuisances. Going forward I hope the middle beltans and the south southerners don't ever tolerate them anymore .

Okay na.

This shows you that these people know the right thing to do but refused to do it.

Reason is just to cause havoc, instill fear into people so when they run away from their ancestralands, they grab it.

Agatu comes to mind.

The atmosphere is always calm the law is working

Upon all their gra gra......

Ok

Rugga or No rugga desertification as a result of climate change will push us down South, i and my family have chose the fertile areas of Owerri west to settle incase we are to move out of Kano state

Mark my words today. They will still kill in that same Ondo state before the next 30 days.

Only idiots believe the schemes of the Foolanis. They have only reviewed their plans. Their end game is to take over the lands, subjugate and conquer.

For now they will lay low while coming up with other plans. They will keep mixing with the people, no problem.... increasing their population and inviting their kinsmen.

Then a day will come probably when there will be internal conflict, then they will exploit that opportunity for their own sake.

These people are snakes. But you keep snake inside room, put am for corner... instead of kicking it out completely.

One day na always one day.

Go and ask the Benue people. 1 million are in IDPS, that's 1 in 4 persons.

Good morning Nigerians. Oh you still want to vote? Go and vote o.

Crafty and slimmy fool

Okay

Good one

It is possible.

A more modern form of cattle rearing is possible.

I grew up where people would raise pigs around the neighborhood, these days, there are piggeries so much that you'd rarely see a pig around.

There are poultries as well.

So it is possible if they don't insist on being backward.

Tree wen no sabi bend, nah breeze go show am how to take bend well well...

DEM PROBLEM

Ok

Them no wan bend before ni?.

Them don get sense at last.

But is this a better option?

Because those fulanis are devil incarnate even devil himself fears them.

Better for everyone

I thought Fulani Herdsmen said Allah gave them the whole of Nigeria?

Why are the compromising their birthright by dumping open grazing?

Them no dey tell body nah.

This is just the beginning..

.dey don borrow themselves brain , why the initial gra gra

But wait which one is funding from CBN , us it not dere private business

Feed lot,ruga,farm estate and whatever rubbish they call it.can these people go and be rearing cows in thier state of origin or any northern states and just be bringing to South for selling? Any thing that will makes these terrorist stay here and be rearing thier cows under any name they call it should be rejected and conderm because they will still later go beyond thier boundary and curse suffering fo the people

Lol

Don't trust this guys

Hahaha chinue Achabe said in proverb u can not bypass a man on the road to his house and still enter his compound,I salute southern governors except the two ApC governors in the east ,this two guys unlike their party men in the south west was against the ban on open grazing of cattle for reasons best known to them .. the country population as of this century makes it a disaster to continue open grazing

Akeredolu is very intelligent and smart.

Not minding all the threats by Miyetti Allah terrorist group to him and his State he went ahead to sign and strictly enforce the open grazing ban

Presently he is the only APC Governor in the South West that truly have his people at heart, he genuinely cares and want to protect them by all means.






He gave Miyetti Allah problem and gave them solution, he is kind.
You don't create a problem if you don't have the solution.
