It appears that despite ortom's rejection of the proposed ruga settlement, the federal government has gone ahead and set up one at otobi road in benue state and indegines are not happy.

Twitter user @CollinsUma tweeted

Buhari is forcefully establishing these Fulani settlements across Benue State. They call it #RugaSettlement
I can't imagine the entitlement mentality this will give the Fulanis. They are above the law in Benue State.

The contractor "Clear Sky Broad Band" is an ICT company

Great news!

This will end the farmers/Herdsmen clashes.


The Governor should capitalize on this initiative and completely ban open grazing without clauses.

Benue state police commissioner should be put in loop of development and anyone found straying or wandering should be arrested henceforth. Outside this settlements, No other settle ment for herdsmen should be allowed in state and a database of practicing herdsmen should be maintained by the state government.

The contractors of the settlement is surprisingly an ICT company

It's actually a terrible news. You don't force things down the throat of the people if they don't want it. This will only cause unrest. No tribe should be given special treatment in Nigeria for any reason let alone given it to a bunch of terrorists and genocidal maniacs

The locals have already taken to the streets in protest

Is it only Fulani's that are herdsmen? Stop attributing a crime to a tribe. Their are Okada robbers and their are decent ones. It happens in every industry. Should we say everything in Alaba or Aba is fake because its a hub of piracy.


No price is too expensive for peace to reign and No tribe is important than the other. Manufacturers are giving government loans at discounted interest rate, farmers are giving lands for cultivation at very subsidized rate, Militants are giving amnesty, And investors are wooed with incentives worth more than this.

So if this development will bring peace and draw a boundary, Its highly welcomed.

It's best we all come together to protest alongside benue that Ranches should be provided rather than settlement because it's only a matter of time before it consumes us all.

10 - 20 years from now... would it still be called settlement or grabbed villages/lands?

Are the supposed settlements of the military era still called settlements?

this useless zombie hawking ruga settelemer like youruba agbo is crazy.


y don't you invite the federal govt to your village and give all the lands to blood thirsty killers.


just yesterday on aljazera I saw how these buhari people killed of a whole village . even kids wer not spared.

the will use bokoharam and almajiri to destroy thier land and now forcefully try to take other people's land.

I know the benue people will be crying instead of co-ordinate attacks and bomb the facilities to flying bits.



rubbish

the blood thirsty herdsmen do not have a base yet. but see how they 're killing with reckless abandon. yet buhari tinubu and ogbe wants to give them militaRy bases by painting it as ruga settlements.




They should take thier nonsense settlement to the cesspit wer the crawled out from.

or they should go and live with Yoruba people. because it is osinbajo and tinubu that 're co-sponsoring this terror

Are you an education herdsman.

Can you explain what you trying to paint

AllenSpencer:

because all you do on this forum is advocating for free lands to your wandering herdsmen.

Never a time I did.

I am just an advocate of Farmer/herdsmen conflict resolution. And same time a progressive who prioritizes National security above any other thing irrespective of tribe or religion.

herdsmen killing people are criminals and should be treat as one not giving them special treatment.

Average Nigerians are not accommodative.

FG is trying their best to solve killer herdsmen, while the state governors are frustrating the efforts

since you are against the establishment of this Ruga settlement what other better alternative do you think the govt should adopt?

Buhari still thinks it's the Military Regime......

One thing i hate most about most Nigerians is lack of sincerity.The reason for the incessant clashes between herdsmen and farmers in several parts of the country is because herdsmen roam about with their cattle in search of food.Herdsmen and their cattle must be confined in certain locations in order to end their mindless destruction of peoples farm lands and harvests.Whether we adopt ranching,ruga or any other methods,it must surely involve the allocation of lands on a rental or any other terms.Herdsmen and farmers clashes is now national security challenge and embarrassment and consequently must be addressed by the Federal government of Nigeria.Finally,i think other tribes need to venture into the business of cattle rearing in order to remove the exclusivity Fulani

You claim not only Fulanis are herdsmen yet only Fulanis are defending Ruga settlement. Are you normal?

Karma ! Karma !! Karma !!!

Tell me the mouth tiv n benue pple have now ,to recite their normal phrase "Igbos are the problem of nigeria"
U benue are always boasting on hw you killed ur fellow christians ie igbos during biafran war , u are even beating ur chest in pride!

U killed wtout pity ,just because of jealousy ,

Now listen Karma wants you to kill for a grande reason right now with impunity !
Karma karma karma!!!

Sincerely Buhari is mat!!
How do you intend giving settlements to people who kill and murder others, some him himself claimed that comes from Libya..
Buhari is mat

Fulani, the first class citizens

The southwest has enough land that should be donated for this settlement.
Southwesterners are already used to the Fulani way of life so there won't be clash with locals .
We can start implementing it in other parts of the country after the success in the southwest

What a shame!!!......its slowly turning into a dictatorship

All thanks to stvpid people that brought him to power again. Wait a minute, shebi he won in Benue for the second time?

They should kill any cow roaming the streets. Since some people still want to be in the 17th century

Gradual islamization of Nigeria loading....

Nigerians get up standup, standup for your rights.

Woe to Tinubu! This is what you have brought upon us. When we in the southeast say Bubu is a tribalist, a religious bigot that is out to Islamise the country you people said we are politically immature and we put our eggs in one basket. Now it's all too clear for all to see. It will never succeed in Jesus name.
