If Niger state can accommodate them, why all the brouhaha then. Dave Umahi has suggested to d FG to site the Ruga in the North, South will sell d grass to them & buy the cows thereby creating more business opportunities for the youths that want to venture into hybrid grass farming. But hell NO. They want to build it in the south by fire by force. There is more to this Ruga thing which they have not opened.

No wahala. Keep it in your north. If you want grass,we would supply grass from the south and you will pay for it.

Niger state alone can accomodate it. The state is freakishly big and most parts are wasted lands.

Do you know that Easterners can decide to go into cattle rearing if you decide to inflate your price? I have that vision already. So please keep your cows in your North. We don't want trouble from those children of perdition.

Till today, no killer herdsmen militias have been arrested, prosecuted and jailed for the mass murders they did across several states. They have been untouchables, yet no Ruga. Imagine what will happen when they have Ruga? Ruga in the North is a threat to the South, the South better wake up. It's not about the North can have Ruga, but not South. If the North has Ruga, then the South is in serious trouble if our immediate neighbors is another ISIS terrorists caliphate. No Ruga anywhere in Nigeria. If Buhari wants Ruga, he should go and build it for them on top of the Atlantic ocean. There is plenty of free land there

Very big question!!!


And Fulani herdsmen will never agree to pay tax even after Nigerian government uses our commonwealth to build a costly settlement for them.


Another truth is, Fulani herdsmen will never stop roaming about Southern states even after spending the billions to build the so called RUGA settlements for them, they love constituting nuisance and using the opportunity to steal, kill and rape local women in remote communities.

Buhari is a wicked and selfish leader.

Sometimes I wonder how nature allow such people to rise to the top knowing how selfish, wicked and inconsiderate they are.

Niger Delta people are mostly fishermen and women, but crude oil exploration has destroyed their rivers, and it is the same crude oil that is feeding the whole Nigerians yet Nigerian government have not deemed it fit to construct fishing dams and fishing settlements for Niger Delta fishermen and women all over Nigeria or even in Southern Nigeria, but it is Fulani herdsmen that have been tagged the deadliest terrorist organization who have raked so much havoc all over Africa that Buhari wants to use our scarce resources to construct massive settlements nationwide to appease themhuh

And majority of these Fulani herdsmen are not Nigerians, they come from Chad, Niger, Gambia, Guinea, etc and yet some Nigerians believe Buhari is a good leader, it is Yorubas that are giving Buhari the courage to rule Nigeria anyhow as he pleases, if not, who born his lanky self to dare challenge the rest of Nigerians; Fulanis think they are brave just because they kill innocent unarmed village men and women when they are sleeping or not prepared for war and because Nigerian army and security headed by Buhari's Fulani appointees protect them, Buhari should continue, he is destroying his Fulani tribe without knowing, he should go and ask Germans how far when Hitler thinking he was making Germans the greatest humans on earth at that time, but ended up making Germans and Nazis endangered specie towards end of 1945, it is well sha angry

Even the North should not allow Ruga settlements. The Jos I knew in the early 90s / early millennia used to be probably one of the most peaceful places on earth, but look at what fulani herdsmen militias have done to the place, and they don't have Ruga yet. Same thing, the Benue I use to hear of was about promiscuity, not insecurity, but look at what Fulani herdsmen militias turned it into today, and they don't even have Ruga settlements yet. Imagine what will now happen when Ruga settlements are in place. These Ruga thing will be nothing but sleep cells for terrorists that will later be used for violence and war against the original settlers. I'm not a political person, just a concerned citizen that can see beyond his nose. [b] Any Northern state that allows Ruga is only laying the foundation for ISIS-backed terrorists to turn the North into another Caliphate, and the Christians there better speak out now, because their plan is to wipe out all Christians and Churches in the North, while retaining Mosques and Muslims in the South. Look at what happened and is still happening in the middle east, from Iraq to Syria to Yemen to Lebanon,they have wiped out entire Christian populations, taken over their lands, destroyed their Churches, captured people like the Yazidis etc, killing their men and turned their wives and children to sex slaves that they sell in their black markets, all in a bid to end Christianity in the Middle East. Ruga settlements may look innocent now, but the truth is giving them Ruga in 11 states, means they are giving the Fulanis 11 states out of 36 states in Nigeria, because only a matter of few years, the Fulani militias will take over every state they settle in with violence and terrorism. They are different from Hausas, hausas are more peaceful, Fulanis are like Arabs, they have a war mentality, the only reason the Hausas were able to coexist with them peacefully and stylishly was because the Hausas yielded to them and intermarried with them, so as to prevent mass murders and systematic takeover of their lands. No to Ruga, and if APC implements this programme in any state, then they should forget about 2023. God punish devil [/b]
You were making sense until you got to the bolded, if northerners want to kill christians and destory churches like most of you lie about then ruga settlement isn't the way to go about it. Secondly, your words on the war in Iraq, Syria, Yemen etc shows you know nothing. I mean you know absolute nothing hence the reason your likes spread lies and bigots about killing of christians. Most causalities in these afformentioned zones have been muslims but you guys always love spinning it around to make it seem like it's a war to kill christians.

I'm not in support for ruga settlement before your likes spin it around as usual because it's a private business as like every private businesses, it should stay private. If the FG must back these guys then sector in nigeria should be backed by FG

At least Buhari has made the offer for this development nation wide. Anybody rejecting the re-introduction of ranching widely into Nigeria will regret. The north should go ahead with it. I will certainly look for partners or shares to buy in this development.

Yes, the North can as the land area of the entire 5 states in the South East is just only about 40% of Niger state alone as Anambra state and Imo state put together is not even up to the size of Borgu local government area in Niger state.

Niger State government has said the Northern states have the potentials to accommodate the federal government’s Ruga settlement plan.

Ruga settlements are conceived by the federal government to address the incessant clashes between farmers and herders in the country.

In an interactive session with newsmen on Monday in Minna, the Secretary to the Niger State Government (SSG), Ahmed Matane, said: “the North had the largest land mass in the country with greater portion largely untapped.”

He added that Northern state governors, in collaboration with the federal government, should put the land into judicious use through the Ruga settlement initiative.

He said the initiative could look at the possibility of reactivating the structures already put in place by the defunct Northern Region government through the many grazing reserves that abound in the North.




According to him, most of the reserves had been gazetted with already developed structures but abandoned.

Matane added that they should be rehabilitated and upgraded for use, pointing out that the ongoing discontents over the proposed settlement were needless.

He said, “Bringing the nomads together would end the conflict thrown up by the struggle for space. The Ruga initiative would lead to development and enhancement of livestock value chain.”




“Livestock development is a big business. The value chain is enormous and will attract huge foreign exchange for the country. Leather alone is a multimillion naira business and in the ongoing diversification drive of the federal government from oil to agriculture; livestock subsector could be the key flagship,” he explained.

The SSG said Niger State had already taken the lead through the rehabilitation of the 45, 000 hectares Bobi Grazing Reserve in Mariga local government area.

According to him, the present administration, under the leadership of Governor Abubakar Sani Bello, would expedite action towards promoting pasture development for Pastoralists at the Grazing Reserve.

He explained that the settlement of Pastoralists at the Grazing Reserve would turn nomadic Pastoralists into mixed Farmers who will take up crop farming to supplement livestock farming.

IT IS NOW THEY ARE MAKING SENSE OF THE RUGA SETTLEMENT PLAN.

I can not imagine such a large land mass in northern Nigeria they can not use it for Cattle farming.

President Muhammadu Buhari should go and study the road map laid down by the then northern premier Late Sir Ahmadu Bello.

The books are there for him to study.

Bringing this people down south is to come and create confusion as by the time President Buhari leaves office and another government comes in crisis will start.

THEY SHOULD JUST SET UP THE RUGA SETTLEMENT IN THE NORTHERN PART OF NIGERIA.

When this cows are grown they can bring it down south and sell.

There should be NO TRADING OFF OF ANCESTRAL LAND OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE.

Their ancestors will not even forgive the native for such an action.
