Ebonyi is now the first and ONLY southern/igbo state to officially gift herdsmen their much desired grazing reserve.

Exactly

Good move.

Instead of our Igbo guys attack Dave who is inviting trouble to their homeland, they are here exuding their myopic ethnic bigotry as usual.

I've never seen a major ethnic group that's so disunited like the Igbos when it comes to protecting a regional interest. As diverse as we are in Yoruba land in terms of political or religious differences, we are all united against fulani subtle invasion and takeover of our land through their cattle business. That's why you'll not hear any governor supporting this idea of cattle colony or ranches, no matter how close to PMB he is. As crazy as Aregbesola is, he dare not try it in my state.

But what do we have in the east? A Dave Umahi is giving out the inheritance of his fathers. I think it will profit the zone more if Wike colonises you than these God-forsaken terrorists.

Remember Dave is very close to Bubu, he'll do anything to please him like the prodigal son of Kogi (Yahya Bello). I expect Okoroawusa to do the same in Imo in the coming days, so that we 'll know that 40 percent of Igbo land is being given out.

Are there no ibos on nairaland again?
Why are they silent

I hope this is a joke, and I'm waiting for the government of Ebonyi state to debunk it soon or else this will go down in history as the worst form of abomination ever. How can a supposed sitting governor say that outsiders will be paid double compensation for any of their cow killed for whatever reason while the indigenous farmers will get no compensation for their crops destroyed and the destroyers punishment will only be to ask them to leave? Even when they can still come back again next time!? Grazing reserve in Ebonyi, a supposed Igbo and PDP state when others even in the same party with the terrorist have refused to give the herdsmen lands!!! Amadioha will surely strike this man dead if this has any element of truth in it. Even Rochas with all his funny moves cannot try such in Imo state. Igbo nation will cede Ebonyi state to the middle belt if this is true, because we have had enough embarrassment from them already.

Seems like dave or devil is worst than okorohausa. How can he try such a thing? Is he trying to be onye oma? Giving them free land with out paying and even free borehole? That man is not only useless but foolish. He didnt even mention tax or anything but mentioned paying double for any cow killed and will only give warning for any crop destroyed. Meaning cow is more important. He is then a coward.

Blue3k2:
It's weird certain people were calling Obaseki a coward for banning night grazing. Apart from making herdsmen leave community are they going to be forced to pay double for crops? This is basically a state grazing reserve.

The illegal mining provisions are should be passed ASAP because of the environmental damage and unsafe working conditions they subject children to.

Some people are so stupid to believe a news that has no video coverage backing it up.

Just as Rochas Okoroawusa later denied any involvement in allocating lands to Fulani Terrorists, so will Ebonyi State Governor deny this news in few weeks time before a TV interviewer.

Ignore the news.

Watch how Umahi will deny it publicly in few weeks time.

that devil or Dave is my state governor and he can do anything even if it means selling off the state to the highest bidder as long as he returns to the govt house

i hate that man with passion,rumours flying round the state has it that uche secondus led PDP are hell bent on denying him the return ticket and i pray it happens so

operation kick out Dave umahi is here by declared#

if this story is true, i will watch it with caution....the governor May have a good intention for the herdsmen but let him read history....i mean the history of iPod in and how adonai lost it to the fulani. .....if you give them grazing areas, they will convert it to ranches...from their it will grow to colonies and abbatior.....a community will be formed, they will one day..i mean I have a dream that an Emir of abakaliki or afikpo will be installed one day!

They've lost their voice with their integrity.

I just pray and hope so because the news is too ridiculous and shameful to be true.

Umahi, is a foolish man to have agreed to give Fulani's land for grazing.
there's definitely going to be clashes, he's people are mostly farmers, he should have taken a cue from what's happening in Benue.
Stupid Ass licker.

MrNigeria2018:

How Market



The same people that killed 3 million of una people are coming back to collect their compensation for the job well done.

Chest beating apes

Did you read the article or just the headline?

I hope this man knows what he is doing. I dont know why they are so desperate to appease the fulanis. How on earth does a people's personal business become a national interest with such pampering. Is it because their son is in power? The Nigerian nation is grossly writ with injustice.

A matured tolerant and realistic way to go; the governor obviously knew the side with more troublesome culprits; hence the punitive measures he put in place - 1st honest decision from a leader in the S.E. devoid of the usual tribal sentiments you come to expect from that side.

It is admirable and quite similar to how we handle our farmer/herder disputes in the core north - and its been working for us.

Watch and see how this measure would secure peace for him between the herders and the locals; however, I am not sure if this decision would go down well with many of them who see it as a sell out - purely out of hated for the tribe, region and religion the Fulani represent.

The govt should seize their guns first before any agreement is made

It was a suggestion and not an order. Have the traditional rulers accepted? Or do Ebonyi lands brlong to him? I know he just said it for talking sake, behind he will tell his people to use their number 6. Is he not Igbo?

Mr. Umahi warned that henceforth, anybody that killed herdsmen’s cows would make double payments with the herdsmen collecting one part and the ministry of local government and chieftaincy affairs, collecting the other.

“The herdsmen will be severely warned if they destroy farmers’ crops and when such persists after investigations, the herdsmen would be forced to leave the community.

WHY WOULD YOU ONLY INVESTIGATE THE HERDSMEN DESTROYING FARMERS CROP AND WOULD NE MADE TO GO FREE WITH PAYING FOR THE DAMAGED CROPS, BUT THE FARMERS THAT KILLS CATTLE WILL NOT BE INVESTIGATED, AS SOON AS IT IS MENTIONED, HE WILL PAY DOUBLE, NO INVESTIGATION.

THIS YOUR POLICY NO GET HEAD AT ALL. DO YOU REASON WITH OUR BRAIN AT ALL MR. GOVERNOR ?

This is the time every right thinking Igbo man should come out and call out Dave Umahi.
This man has initiated this move and soon other governors who will not like to be in the bad books of buhari will follow suit.

I still cant get this herdsmen logic. Yes you dont want them to destroy crops but the basic question is that since we know they dont buy lands, on whose land do they camp their herds while grazing?
Is that not someone's land?

Can owners of such land easily ask them to leave whenever he feels like?

Amazingly, I seem to not understand why the northern Governors are not establishing grazing areas for them. What stops them from grazing in the north. Let the Northern governors educate their people and develop

This is a dangerous path.
Years down the line they settle,establish families and generations down Start laying claim to the lands given as a temporary grazing field to their fathers.

So anyone that kills a cow pays double the price.

But any herdsman whose cows destroy crops gets warned and moved to another community.

Where are the State Assembly members when you need them?
