[b]I laugh at the ignorance displayed by many emotionally clouded Nigerians who are against the grazing bill proposed for the Fulani cattle rearers in all states of the Federation. Let's remember that like every other Nigerians, the Fulani's have the right to live and do their business in any part of the country. It is their constitutional right as Nigerians to own grazing fields in any choice location of the country so far it is paid for or provided by the government. We ought to applaud the move made by the federal govt because it will help in ending the unnecessary violence between the Farmers and the Herdsmen. By provision of grazing fields, the fulani's will be restricted to graze on an apportioned land provided by the federal govt. It will be a crime for them to graze their cattles on people's farms once the bill is passed into law. We should not castigate every fulani herdmen as killers because of the few bad ones among them. The incidence in Agatu and other parts of the country were perpetuated by cattle rustlers and not Fulani herdsmen. Cattle rustlers are armed terrorist who steal cattles from herdsmen and graze them around the country as a cover up for their terrorist acts. The ordinary Fulani herdsmen are peaceful people and will never harm innocent Nigerians. The fulani's do not move around with weapons but sticks to guide their cattle. I observed most critics of this Bill are from the eastern part of the country. The igbos need to realize that the federal govt owns all the land and territories in Nigeria and it can decide on how it chooses to use every inch of its territory. The fulani's have every right to graze in the SE and there is nothing any one can do about it. It is their right as a Nigerian just like the igbos are the most travelled tribe doing business in every part of the country. We cannot decide to restrict all igbo traders to the east because of the attitude of few bad eggs amongst them likewise the Fulani's. Most Nigerians criticized the federal govt when they decide to create ranches and import grasses from Brazil to graze these cattles so the herder wont roam about. Now the FG is shifting plans to create a grazing site for the herders in every state which is not a bad move by all standards. We are one Nigeria and we must learn to tolerate ourselves and live in peace. We must shun the politics of hatred and tribalism. Lord Luggard saw the potentials in our diversity before merging us up to form this great country.

cowgirl9090:
These two comments by nairalanders am about post now truly shows you lack common sense .

"This op missed a lot of point in his advocacy for grazing fields for cattle herders.
if this bill becomes law this is what will happen next,
1) The Fulanis will settle there and start having
children. possibly with locally kidnapped
women or other northerners
2) Those children in 20 years will grow up and
claim that the land belongs to their ancestors
just like they did in plateau state.
3) Fight will begin between those Fulani
children and the local community.
4) Federal government will step in and split the
community in half for peace and give to the
fulani descendants what doesn't belong to
them.
5) With their newly gained power, they will start
fighting for political power and dominance of
the area.
Everything I just wrote has already happened
before so NOBODY can say that I am making
this up."
~by emancipation

"@OP- What's wrong with ranch system?
Your claim of being yoruba doesn't make your
point more acceptable.
The igbos you continuously cited didn't acquire
places of business by destroying other people's
settlement or means of livelihood nor did they
lobby for government policy to situate them.
My points:
1. adopt modern rearing techniques.
2. Disarm the herds men (they don't need
arms-according to the OP).
3. If they must get land, they should negotiate
with the land owners or community).
Simple"

God bless you ma'am, I don't understand why we make simple issues more complex. This is 21th century, if you want the ancient style of grazing than modern way, then stay where olden lifestyle is encouraged.

Does d proceeds from d cows grow d GDP of d country huh

If d cows doesn't belong to d FRN & doesn't add to d foreign reserve of d country then something is wrong. NNPC & NPDC is a Nigerian company but I have not heard where lands were collected forcefully by the FRN on their behalf. Fulanis have right to do biz in any part of d country LEGALLY. other tribes travel & settle at different parts of d country but FRN never gave them anywhere or bought anywhere or forcefully took anywhere and gave them. They paid or leased d land from d indigenes after fulfilling all d local customs. So why will peoples lands be taken from them and given to fulanis to settle and do their private business huh

. Fulanis have been moving around with their cows since. why did they suddenly commence this ethnic cleansing??. Why have we not heard of this in Sokoto. Katsina. Kano. Bauchi. & other NW states huh

I have someone rep my constituency so let d bill be passed then we will see d implementation.

Grazing bill: An invitation to danger
By Tola Adeniyi | 12 April 2016 | 1:30 am
National Assembly

The National Assembly is about to pass a Bill that is set to kill whatever is left of our so-called over-centralised federal system. The Bill if passed will be the greatest rape on our democracy and the biggest insult on our collective sensitivity as a people and as a country. “The Fulani National Grazing Reserve,” is currently before the National Assembly. The bill has successfully scaled through second reading in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. For it to become law, it is to pass through the third reading.

“The bill seeks to provide for the establishment of national grazing reserves and stock routes. It is sponsored by Senator Zainab Kure. “The Bill proposes to establish a National Grazing Reserve Commission (NGRC) for the country. The NGRC will be charged with the responsibility of using funds received from the Federal Government to forcefully acquire farmlands from Nigerians in all the 36 states of the country, develop same at government expense through the provision of bore holes, water reservoirs, etc; for the exclusive use of nomadic cattle rearers.”

The issue here is very clear. Fulani herdsmen are cattle farmers. They could as well keep their cattle in ranches. They could devise whatever means like their counterparts in Argentina, Australia and the rest of the civilised world to do their animal husbandry. The men and boys roaming the streets, roads and bushes driving cattle are not the owners of these animals. They are just employees, labourers, attendants or whatever name they are called.

The owners of these cows like Generals Obasanjo, Nyako, Abdulsalami Abubakar and our President Buhari are big time farmers. They are businessmen. It is immoral to ask taxpayers to finance the operations of these businesses. Cattle owners must provide capital through bank loans or whatever means to create their grazing lands in their localities. The cows are not owned by the Federal Government.

Just as the Federal Government is not creating farm lands for cocoa and kolanut farmers in Sokoto or Katsina, or creating farm lands for Agatu yam farmers in Enugu or Maiduguri, or creating special areas for fish farming in Zungeru, it cannot for any reason ever consider creating special lands for herdsmen for grazing. Let the herdsmen run their business without encroaching on the lands of other people. Let the cattle owners buy into the Fodder technology and other modern methods of providing feeds for their animals without roaming the streets and plundering other people’s farms.

To ever dream of this perverted Bill is to step on the toes of other Nigerians and step on sore foot, and by so doing create a dangerous precedent. Nobody should play ethnic game here. This is not an issue directed against any ethnic nationality in Nigeria. The simple matter is to let those who trade in cattle fund their business like all other businesses, including farming, in Nigeria. The Bill must not see the light of the day. The sponsors want to create serious problem in the polity and their design must be nipped in the bud.

The Nigerian Bar Association, the Coalition of Civil Societies, and all those who care about the continued existence of this troubled country must rise up to strongly oppose and kill this obnoxious and self serving Bill. It beats my imagination that members of the National Assembly did not see the serious danger posed by this corrosive Bill.

In a reaction to the threats posed by this obnoxious Bill, the National Co-ordinator of the Oodua Peoples Congress, Otunba Gani Adams says: “Without any doubt, this is a very dangerous proposal for Nigeria. We all have seen how the Fulani herdsmen kill and maim members of the community where they graze their cattle without the backing of any law. I am sure that we can only imagine what their attitudes would be if the supposed grazing reserves are forcefully taken over by gove

Since you feel this way, kindly set an example by donating any landed properties you may own to cattle rearers and maybe your father's village home while you are at it. Maybe you just might convince others around you to follow suit.

The DSS were quick to accuse the ipob of genocide, but everyone seems to readily make excuses for criminal acts by these hooligans. The police are always constantly forming "we're mediating between the herdsmen and the communities", without one single conviction in all the years they've been raping n killing the inhabitants of benue and ebonyi states.

Sunnycliff:
Let it be passed and see the end of this contraption!

As long as this bill is still alive I will continue to share my findings here for all to see, Read and be Wise!

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE GRAZING BILL

The Bill creates a council to be chaired by a 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.
If you feel that the council was not right to take your land, you can go to court but before you go to court, you must first of all notify the federal attorney general of your intention to sue the council. Apart from notifying, you must get the consent and authority of the Federal Attorney General before you can sue.

So that means that if the Attorney General refuses to give his consent to the suit, you have lost your land forever to the herdsmen.

And this law, when passed, shall apply to the whole country so it means that your land in the village or anywhere is not safe.

The National Grazing Reserve Council would have the power to take away your land from you anytime they want and pay you whatever they want as compensation (even when you don't want to sell, and remember that for you to get compensation, you must have documents showing or proving ownership).

So I think that we all in the South West, South South and South East must rise up and reject this Bill. We must do all things to force our national Assembly members from passing that bill into law.

That bill is a deliberate attempt to take our lands and hand the land over to the Fulani cattlemen since it is only the fulanis that rear cattle in Nigeria.
That law, when passed, shall fulfil the directive of Uthman Dan Fodio and other northern leaders to take over other parts of Nigeria.

I implore you to use all available means to implore your senator and Rep not to pass that law.

That law will destroy Nigeria.
All over the world, ranches are established and used to rear cattle. The farmers buy land and put there cattle there. There is no country where the land of the citizens are compulsorily acquired and given to others.

This is evil, and designed to favour the Fulanis where the president comes from.
We must resist the passage of that bill into law to save Nigeria, and to protect our future generations.

Re: National Grazing Bill Still Active In National Assembly - Vanguard by bezimo(m): 2:20pm On Apr 21, 2016

Owing to the fact that fulani herdsmen have an antecedent of being very wicked, violent and destructive and would certainly want to perpetuate such behaviour in the southern land of Nigeria which is also proposed to host the grazing reserves eventually.

To avoid such stories that touch like the Agatu experience from reoccurring in other southern part of Nigeria.We in this region hereby reject outrightly the useless grazing bill and the idea never to be discussed again. If southern legislators don't oppose that bill they MUST be stonned because they don't mean well for their respective constituencies in the south.

The bill should be modified as an option to restrict grazing to their lands in Northern Nigeria. Afterall Sambisa forest is alledge to be very big eneough to serve the same purpose.

your hatred for the igbos will definitely lead to your destruction... has it ever been recorded in this country that the FG of Nigeria bought lands n build shops solely for the igbos to run their businesses? has a bill ever been sponsored for FG to go to abroad and import goods for the igbos to resale to other Nigerians? and by the way are those cattles not the Fulani personal trade? are the proceeds from the cattle not their personal gains n for their personal uses, so u want buhari to use the proceeds from oil that they got from SS/SE to import grass, then forcefully grab my ancestral land , dash it to his kinsmen for free jst cos we are called Nigeria. I wish u and ur family what happened to Agatu people..... n if u love this country n ur Fulani brothers as you claimed, advice buhari n his cohorts to tell his kinsmen to get a ranch by themselves, with their personal fund if not.......

The solution is to knock off any feeling of entitlement they may have. The bad behaviour stems from the fact that they know they can misbehave and get away with it. The average Nigerian Citizen doesn't have a right to carry guns or dangerous weapons. Why should they (Herdsmen) have? Pipeline vandals destroyed pipes and have been branded terrorist (rightly so). These Herdsmen destroy lives and properties why shouldn't they be called terrorists? Rather the Government wants to reward their brash acts by giving them lands they didn't buy. Are the cattle owned by the government? Are they not private ventures? I doubt they even contribute to the economy by paying taxes.

First, all dangerous weapons should be seized. Any of them caught in possession of such weapons should be arrested. Next, the president should make a strong-worded statement that any violent herdsman will be treated as a terrorist henceforth. You'll see them behave

How do you knock off feelings of entitlement? I've been reading recently that armed and guilty herdsman are arrested, they're not all guilty by the way. They've been part of us since time immemorial and we've always known that they "love" their cows. So, what's the solution?

Nothing wrong, exactly why it is being provided/planned for everywhere. If planned for only north, people will still complain about marginalisation etc. Every tribe eats them cows and they've been grazing everywhere since time immemorial.

Not everyone rears cows, don't you think so? Is everyone a fisherman yet we all eat fishes! Can you create a dam for South south fishermen in Zamfara state?

[b]I laugh at the ignorance displayed by many emotionally clouded Nigerians who are against the grazing bill proposed for the Fulani cattle rearers in all states of the Federation. Let's remember that like every other Nigerians, the Fulani's have the right to live and do their business in any part of the country. It is their constitutional right as Nigerians to own grazing fields in any choice location of the country so far it is paid for or provided by the government. We ought to applaud the move made by the federal govt because it will help in ending the unnecessary violence between the Farmers and the Herdsmen. By provision of grazing fields, the fulani's will be restricted to graze on an apportioned land provided by the federal govt. It will be a crime for them to graze their cattles on people's farms once the bill is passed into law. We should not castigate every fulani herdmen as killers because of the few bad ones among them. The incidence in Agatu and other parts of the country were perpetuated by cattle rustlers and not Fulani herdsmen. Cattle rustlers are armed terrorist who steal cattles from herdsmen and graze them around the country as a cover up for their terrorist acts. The ordinary Fulani herdsmen are peaceful people and will never harm innocent Nigerians. The fulani's do not move around with weapons but sticks to guide their cattle.

Comparing Igbo business men to Fulani Herdsmen just shows your level of tribalistic reasoning. SMH

Calm down, the FG is not seizing lands but buying them. Government does that everytime when your land interfere with their business like roads, power lines, railway etc and now grazing land. Certainly government will collect monies for grazing, its revenue and planning. Turning it to tribal issues is uncalled for.

Many people do by proxy. Most of those cows are not owned by those boys,I'm sure you know that. Fishing is not causing problems, we need solution because there is problem. FG has presented its solution, we should present good or better solution instead of just castigating everything in the name of tribe, party and buhari. What's your better solution to the problem?

Hioe the FG have reclaimed sambisa, so what's wrong in devoting that massive land piece for cattle rearing huh

Cattle rearers are everywhere, not only Borno state. I'm sure some parts of Borno state is also in the plan.
