Are you ok,you want peace and the same time marginalising and taking their land by force and you still expect peace to reign.


Which land are we talking about here? Are you saying the Federal Goverment does not designated landed properties in every state? If it will require compensation or a lease agreement, It is welcomed.

If Buhari goes ahead with this Ruga Settlements thing, it doesn't matter who APC fields as its presidential candidate in 2023, APC will lose big time.

Land is a premium in the South East, Niger state is bigger than the entire southeast and to the best of my knowledge, they have abundant forest reserves there. In fact the entire north is more than 60% of Nigeria's land mass so any land settlement should be there. The grass in the South can be harvested and exported there if they need it so much

This govt. does not have the people at heart, this is an opportunity for the good people of Nigeria to speak against all the killings going on in the north central..but some people are already speaking like fools, asking their ancestors if Fulani's are the only herdsmen in Nigeria...smh

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.

Herdsman, U mean Fulani should be rewarded with free land after slaughtering tens of thousands of people in Benue state? grin grin grin.

U are a complete joker. Benue people would only be foools to allow this to stand.

Not long ago, i watched a video of a northern youth congress member, boasting of vast arable lands of the north. My question is: why not establish ruga or whatever in those vast arable lands of the north. Why forcing people to give up their ancestral lands to unwanted strangers?

Why would fg choose a volatile state that is literally at war with the fulanis to setup a cattle colony, even when they protested against it.

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.

Only a confused Herdsman can think that this will bring peace. Taking people's land by force after slaughtering them doesn't bring peace, it brings more bloodshed.

I really don't understand what Nigeria is turning into...And i really just blame the Yorubas for voting in these useless barbarians.

Yorubas don't really believe in themselves and hence have to believe what ever comes from their supreme father Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu whom to me is fighting for his own selfish interest and to the detriment of Nigerians,thinking they are oppressing the Igbos....I just hope don't wouldn't regret this decision.

Mine to this;I don't want a igbo man to even lead this country,i just want anybody that will do the right thing and get this nation working,because Nigeria seems to be getting it wrong in her approach to nation building.

They should have thought of this before herdsmen became people that locals see and run inside... The trauma of herdsmen has already been stamped on people's minds, we don't want herdsmen, we don't want the terrorist, we are not ready to be distinguishing between the good ones and bad, their presence is a bad omen, we don't even want cows again... Too much cholesterol.. Lets manage fish and chicken, whats the point of beef if my country people's life's are taken for it.... The business is blood stained... Tainted.

You avoided answering there questions yesterday and cleverly stayed off now I find you spamming threads again about this ruga issue

Now I pose these questions to you again

I normally refrain from political dialogue but I would like to engage you since you seem very intelligent

1. According to your logic the government is doing this to stop the killings rapes and murders by the herdsmen right ?

2. In America the government does not create a settlement for child sex offenders to stop their activities they send them to jail now the business of ranching and the crimes of the herdsmen are separate how then does this government think by creating a settlement it addresses their crimes ?

3 does this logic hold water to you? If yes kindly justify


You shooting yourself in the leg!

Comparing rape offenders to a buisness group is childish.

Are you saying all herdsmen are criminals, Or all are Fulani's?

This affiliation of the tribe to the profession is born out of hate for the president. This group are in category of farmers, accountants, doctors and whatever profession you can mention. If criminals are using the profession to disguise and commit crime, then confining the legitimate ones is the ONLY option in fairness.


Let me give you a layman example. Okada riders have a lot of criminals amongs them that perpetrate evil, should we use that notion to generalize and act? No. We have to create measures to counter the activities of the criminal ones as we being fair to the just ones.

I will not need answer question 1 and 3 anylonger

What is great about a supposed forced move? Why are Fulanis/Herders bent on establishing colonies in every part of Nigeria? Why is the Federal government pushing against the will of a state and her people?

Buhari is a cancer, no doubt. He can't remain in power forever and if I were Ortom, I'd sue the Federal government. This is a security issue which must not be taken with levity.

Ortom is too quiet for a governor and the FG knows this. Fayose tackled this menace well Fulanis stayed away from Ekiti up until his tenure lapsed. Any governor who means well for his people would do the same. Enough of Fulanis overrunning Nigeria.
the governor himself is more or less the statutory issue of Benue state...
1)The Tiv indigenes are the most occupant of Benue state.
2) among them have very few persons with the capacity to logical rationalism.
3) atleast fayose had several persons that understood him and backed him up,,here in Benue state,the indigenes dont see anything positive from the governor's angle..
4)Fulani would continue to run them for ever and ever even without the ruga settlement..

U can't slaughter people by the thousands and come back later and start forcing them to give u land, no one will ever agree to give the Fulani land in Nigeria

These Fulani Herdsmen should be arrested for their heinous crimes & not rewarded for the countless orphans they created.

Imagine having murders & rapists as your neighbours.

It shows that Buhari, Hell-Rufai are providing support to these murderous Fulani Herdsmen.

That's why none ever gets arrested.

Yet if u fight back, you will get arrested

We can start implementing it in other parts of the country after the success in the southwest
