[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. We must not allow ethnicity to cloud our sense of judgement when the federal govt proposes law that will favour every Nigerian. We must support the grazing bill so the Fulani's can do their business in peace. BTW i am a Yoruba man from the SW. proudly Nigerian [/b]

Any Igbo who doesn't want Igboland pulled out of Nigeria must not cry or wail over the menace of Fulani cattle - there are still many ignoramuses in Igboland.


Any Igbo that has the head can do the Maths; answer why Nigeria must remain an estate of Fulani - so long as the present 36 states political structure with 20 states in the north remains.

Twistaray:

OlujobaSamuel:
I think there should be reprisal in this case. I supports pmb but I don't like his posture towards this fulani issue, if reprisals will make him condemn the heardmen or rustlers, then I think that should happen. This is one story too many, although in my clan in south west you can't go there with cattles or goat, it's not allowed, even if for a party, you kill it the day you brought it in, no sleepover, otherwise you meet it dead before day break. I heard an even lead to it about 40years plus ago.

To be fourworn is to be forehand

EazyMoh:
Reprisals are never the solution. If you think the solution to this problem is the president's condemnation then you are on a long thing. The readers -farmers clash is a Continental phenomenon, not just Nigeria.
In my state Jigawa, this problem was solved by former Governor Sule Lamido. About 50meter wide grazing paths were kept by the government and the farmers were warned not to cultivate it. The following planting season the farmers cultivated the grazing paths. The govt had to send tractors to mow down the crops and since then rearers-farmers clash has stopped in my state. This is the best way to solve the crisis.
A typical fulani man prides himself as fearless and ruthless. If you think reprisals can scare them away you are very wrong. They do not forget nor forgive, plus they have the advantage of been very mobile.
So the best solution is to dialogue and have common grounds then it would be easier to apprehend those that default.
I rest my case.

inkon:
Personally, I'm overwhelmed with endurance already.
How long will the preacher talk before peace is adhered to?


This is not about preparing herbs for a mad man. The question is: does his mouth look like he will drink the herbs?


Why preach peace to Fulani whose existence is rooted in violence?

How did these sons of darkness get into Nigeria in the first place?

So.., the true citizens of this land will keep on talking soft, preaching peace and begging like women while these recalcitrant animals maim and subjugate them.


This is so disheartening.


Where is noblezone

SamuelAnyawu:
We'll Defend Southeastern Nigeria. We all saw it, We warned them, but they never listened...

APC remains the biggest mistake in Nigeria..

Imolites dying everyday and begging just to be paid their salaries and pensions they all worked for.

Well 2019 is just 3yrs from now

Leiman100:
stop shouting 2019 the last election has proved that you are of voteless minority

ndcide:
You have been spamming the whole forum with all these. Now note :

1, It is not the "constitutional right" for Fulani's to own grazing fields anywhere they like in Nigeria.

2, it is a crime for Fulani herds men to destroy people's farms, unprovoked. grazing bill or not. (stop giving credence to evil)

3, no body castigated the Fulanies for killing people. Because, their activities are well know to all. No one is oblivious of their criminality and their sentiments.

4,Fulanis are not entitled to the ancestral home of others. No government will do that in a democracy as government must be for the people.

5, attributing the Agatu incidents to cattle rustling is being intelligent by half and trying to kill the truth, maybe for political reasons. So who is rustling cattle in delta state. Is rustling responsible for the criminality perpetrated between say Agbor-Uromi or between Auchi - Okene or between Obinumba - Abraka?
Who is rustling their cattle.

6, Giving your opinion, that rustlers becomes herds men and moving around the country. Then, they are one and the same.

7, We don't know who is an ordinary Fulani man who is harmless as they are both herds men and rustlers who can switch sides. Or an average deltan for example, will suddenly become a rustler.. Please..

8, Enough of these igbo thing in every argument. It degrades arguments. Not everyone is igbo. It's just daft to narrow every sentiments to igbo. Just so silly.

9, Yes the Fulani can graze but not just anywhere and if they can't do that in peace, they should go to their ancestral region and graze.

10, I don't think the Igbos you are quick to mention, trading in katsina is constituting nuisance and killing people's livestock. Please stop this weak analogy, As the Fulani didn't start coming down south 16 years ago. They've been grazing before we were born. So what changed.

11, if the FG is hell bent on establishing grazing areas, it should be within the ancestral home of the Fulanis or absolutely on the terms of the locals, as Land being a resource is being held in trust for the people by the government.

I hope you'll stop at this juncture.

OlujobaSamuel:
government can't allocate people's land to businessmen. They are into business, they should invest in their business. Everyone is fearless and ruthless, when pushed to the walls. The president knows the owner of these herds because he is also one of them, so it's better for him to condemn it and talk to their casual workers(herdsmen).
