Time also to get a working rail system in place

In the USA, the work of cowboys was to herd cows like the Fulani. Back then ther was violence like cattle rustling and fighting with the indians.

What ended that was the development of a rail system that enabled the transport of cattle by rail. Yes the era of cowboys also slowly came to an end too.
Cowboys had their ranches, they never herded cattle from place to place like the Fulani are doing.
Stop being smart by half

You talked about rail system, which is great for transportation of the cattle. Your government isn't concerned with this one.

Deal with them when they come to your land. Tinubu only cares about election 2027. He will sacrifice anything to achieve it by trying to please the Fulani people, he has done it before he will do it again. DSS police won't react to Fulani killers the ones in prisons have been released no justice.
South east will be safe if MNK or Simon Ekpa comes out

PresidObi:
Very funny.

Do you know what he promised them before they allowed him to rig?
T-Pain did not have to rig when Pandora Bitter Obi and his tribal headless mob did so for him cluelessly in their ignorance of what was at play.
Who benefitted from the almost 100% SE votes to the overnight communist LP labourer if not ebilokan huh

jameshankss:
Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has said he is sure the candidate of Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi, would lose the 2023 presidential election. Soludo said he would not submit to the bullying of Obi’s supporters, who recently descended on him for addressing issues in the state.

The governor made the comments in a lengthy write-up personally authored, with the title, “History Beckons, and I Will Not Be Silent (Part 1).”

Soludo said Obi was inadvertently making the pathway to victory much easier for the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, and at the same time, toying with the destiny of millions of Ndigbo.

But the chief spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign, Yunusa Tanko, accused Soludo of being sponsored by some unknown persons to weaken the base of the party in the South-east.

The former CBN governor had been under intense attack for close to a week for dismissing Obi’s investment in the state as amounting to nothing, during a television interview.

Soludo said in the write-up, “My attention has been drawn to some of the tirades on social media following my frank response during an interview on Channels TV regarding the ‘investments’ Mr. Peter Obi claimed to have made with Anambra State revenues.

“Sadly, several of the comments left the issue of the interview to probe or suggest motives, inferred from my response on ‘investment’ that I am opposed to Peter Obi’s ambition and, therefore, committed a ‘crime’ for which the punishment is internecine abuse and harassment, even to my family.

“Everyone knows that I don’t follow the winds or one to succumb to bullies, or shy away from a good fight especially, when weighty matters of principles and future of the people are involved.”

Soludo said he had urged Obi to return to his former party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), to actualise his presidential bid. He added that he had always told the LP candidate to his face that he was not capable of winning the 2023 presidential election, especially, under LP, which had neither a councillor nor a local government chairman.

Soludo said Obi was not just his friend, but also his brother, but despite that, they have their political differences.

He stated, “For full disclosure, let me state that Peter Obi and I are not just friends, we call ourselves ‘brothers’. But we have political differences: he left APGA for PDP after his tenure as governor, while I have remained in APGA since 2013.

“During the last two governorship elections in Anambra in 2017 and 2021, he led the PDP campaigns but APGA won landslide in both elections. By the way, in 2016, he visited and proposed that I defect to PDP and contest the 2017 election against the incumbent Willie Obiano, but I declined.

“After my victory in November 2021, he called to congratulate me, as I did to him in 2010. That is the Anambra way: we fight fiercely during campaigns but share drinks at the next social events. After all, it was the Great Zik of Africa, who taught us that in politics, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies but only permanent interests.”

Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”

Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.

He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.

Indirectly, these attacks may be an answer to prayers of Nigerians to easily disintegrate. Let the Fulani herdsmen continue. They own Nigeriagrin. Only 5 million peoplegrin. A time will soon come when all others will rise up against them when we are fed up.

Where Are The Cows? Is Evans A Herdsman?'


When Funke Olakurin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was murdered instead of Bola Tinubu to make sure that the perpetrators were brought to book, he ended up making fun of the death of the young lady by turning everything into tribalism by showing his hates for Igbos.


Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country




Mrs Olakunrin died of gunshot wounds in July 2019 after her vehicle was attacked by armed men, suspected to be marauding Fulani bandits whose violent activities had reached a frightening level across the southwest states.


Those arrested suspects include Lawal Mazaje, 40, from Felele area of Kogi State; Adamu Adamu, 50, from Jada area of Adamawa State; Mohammed Usman, 26, from Illela area of Sokoto State and Auwal Abubakar, 25, from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State....

However, the leader of the team, identified only as Tambaya, and three others are yet to be found.

Tambaya has been declared wanted by the police and he is said to be capable of communicating in Hausa, Fulfude and Pidgin English.

Cattle is no more reared through herdsmen moving about in the bushes with cattle. Cattle is reared to produce dairy and beef.
In Nigeria, the Fulani herdsmen know these.
But desire by Fulani to occupy rest of Nigeria 🇳🇬 is reason why Fulani continue to rear cattle in the bushes of Nigeria.
Can President Tinubu bell the cat - a legislation to ban rearing of cattle in the open bushes?

Overly more than true...the more the delay the more the loss of lives. The Federal government does not have the means to secure everywhere, yet it does not allow citizens to arm and protect themselves! So it just watches and counts and documents losses of lives. Its sad. The sooner the better. The funny thing is the Federal government has the financial capacity to erect Ranches but fails to do so!! Please everyone watch your back well oh and be security conscious...these marauders are everywhere

It's more than those two my brother, if Igbo people want to survive they need people that are cool headed fight intelligently. They are incaserated,because they lack understanding to fight their battle without being personal. If I say personal, they want to be worshipped served instead of being a servant to their people. They attacked their own people instead of educate them about the need for a nation that cater for their immediate needs and development. I'm not Igbo you can attack me, but I want Yoruba nation as well, we will keep talking until our people understand what we have been saying and rise up and fight for their right hopefully it won't be too late.

Those who are at war see the world differently. Igbos has been at war since 1966. It will surely affect the way they react unlike those who never fought any battle. War has a way of changing your mindset and until you get what you wanted, it's difficult to be normal in a war front. Watch how Army people behave, you will understand why igbos act the way they do.

Personally if I have that mindset I would be smarter than that, even Nigerian military would think twice before storming my house. Igbos have the most talented black people on earth to not use their talent to achieve your go is called foolishness. Look at Ukraine's they are giving Russia some war lessons all because of drones Russia are learning that it's not about guns and tanks but simplicity of attack. Another stupid thing they did is show their faces and name to be very popular and you don't have anything to back it up very annoying seeing the way Kanu was smuggled back to the country.

...ban open grazing and reject all forms of ethnic supremacy. Say no to bayamulenges treating all other 300 tribes of Nigeria as lower than animals.

it is not transportation of cows that is the problem, the problem is thar the herdsman are destroying and killing people what does thar got to do with rail?

What's going on is a failure of agroeconomc development plans in the country. That last administration did badly in that regard by promoting RUGA instead of creating a conducive environment to encourage nationwide ranching. PMB was sympathetic to his tribesmen and believed they may be put out of business if he towed the path of ranching. With the incessant clashes between herders & farmers & the loss of lives across the country, there is need to put a halt to open grazing. No amount of cows is worth a human life.
