The truth of the matter is our leaders are tribalistic. Their tribal sentiment is so obvious that it reflect on the behaviour of their tribesmen. When GEJ was president, all we hear is the loud mouthed utterance of Tompolo, Asari Dokubo and their cohorts. Now Buhari is president and his own tribesmen are the ones making noise.

I believe for this country to move forward, a president who doesn't play to tribal and religious sentiment need to emerge, thereby silencing all the noise we hear everyday since 1960.

If great care is not taken, this present crop of politicians will make this country implode, and they will find themselves at the receiving end of it all.

Stop insulting urself with lies.

Befire GEJ was president, Tompolo n Asari accepted amnesty n dropped their agitation.

GEJ never played tribal and religions sentiment till he left office

ruga policy is for northerners (muslims) to have their fighters everywhere so that by the time its ripe for jihad, Nigeria will easy to conquer.

godliman:
Buhari will be the fire victim of his own fire

And all those, for political reason have kept quite. The Ameachi's, Tinubus's and Ngige have all been scammed by Buhari. A man who is yet to draw up a workable blue print to develop the Niger Delta is ready to not only spend money generated from the ND to finance private business but also subtle claim of ancestral land for his brothers. Has any of this so called leaders in the south considered what this proposal will result to in the next 50-100 yrs?

So you Muslim northerners take alcohol VAT but don't want alcohol sold on your land?

You're just so daft.

Nigerians are complaining about the policies of a president they elected? Abeg. We can't vote a bigot and then complain he's a bigot.
If people from South don't want grazing, they should either: stop eating cows, or start ranching.

The recent noise from Rivers: "we don't have room for grazing."
Oh... so you want to eat cow meat, but don't want to use part of your land to raise the food you will eat?

You seem confused.

Too much sense in one post.

airsaylongcon:
Very interesting perspective about Rivers. Fully support the idea that if they want to consume beef they need to use part of their territory to grow it.

Would be nice if this is spread to all facets of our economy. For example those that want to consume the returns from crude oil should mine it from part of their territory.

We consume corned beef in Nigeria. From beef grown in Brazil. Brazilians need to demand for territory in Nigeria where they can raise the cattle used for corned beef consumed in Nigeria.

Is that not his plan. To disrupt nigeria

This old washed-up fool who stole someone's seat likes to think he knows better than everyone. All he's known for is winning sympathy Nobel way back in 1866 and has been unable to write or do anything literarily important ever since.

Prof which fire , bcs people are already feeling the heat.

ashantitope:
Prof it a lie it can never set Nigeria on anything it something that have happened before and nothing happen so stop this comment don't scare Nigerian we are unite than before when I was growing up I have been seeing this fulanis with there cows both in South West here and north state and we live happily what u need to discuss is who are this people causing problem among us? And let pick the bad onesv out of the good ones

So tell us how we can Pick the bad ones out of the good ones ! Is it written on there faces or do they carry it on placards

No... you know that's not what I mean. I've never heard of people (anywhere in the world) refusing to use land to raise the crops or animals they themselves eat.

Climate change and other human activity in and outside Nigeria is reducing available grazing areas in the North. Due to extreme warmer temperatures, more demand for cows (in the South), and shifting rain patterns, there is much less foliage to eat in the North than before. There is also increase in agricultural activity in the South (there's more mouths to feed), leading to more conflicts between grazers and farmers.

A sane government would have used the damn satellites to figure this out, and enact polices before things got out of hand. But Nigerians, in our typical fashion only react and get violent without thinking deeply. The same way we want cheap electricity and cheap petrol (cheaper than what obtains worldwide), we also want fat cows that magically feed on non-existent foliage.

This is a crisis that won't have an easy solution, so all of us have to play some part: we have some lands dedicated to residential, some to industrial, some to farming, some to grazing, and some for posterity. The stance of Southern governors flat out refusing to give any land for producing the meat people eat... I'm not sure it's a helpful (or even smart) strategy: it will only increase conflicts.[/quote]Why Cudnt they initiate Ranching ,am pretty sure grazing is outdated now,RUGA is certainly a wrong choice made by the Federal Government and if care isn't taken Pple wud revolt leading to another Civil war in Nigeria

You ve wake up from your stupidity? Aren't you one of those supporting the worst thing to happen to Nigeria called buhari. This is just the beginning. His kinsmen maim n kill with impunity while he protects them.

Ruga is to wandering Fulanis what Palestine is to wandering Jews who needed a homeland to call their own after the holocaust that occurred during WWII in 1945.

It was obvious to the scattered Jews that they needed a place to call home and adopted Palestine using historical and biblical contexts.

All Jews all over the world were encouraged to migrate to Palestine which is now Israel where settlements similar to Ruga was created for them in 1945 to live side by side with the Palestinian Arabs, overtime this did not go down well with Palestinians and thus triggered the 1948 Palestine war which was won by Isreal thereby using that opportunity to grab more land from the Palestinians till date.

Benekruku:
Am ashamed of professor Wole Soyinka


Ina as much he could analyse, he never suggested the way forward if RUGA is abolished.


I detest people who can only destroy but cant construct.


Well said, RUGE will set Nigeria on Fire. Can Prof please proffer a better way of approaching if he is good at condemning.

Oga go apply for mental therapy
Since u have a reboot brain dats mal-functioning

It is better this Nigeria burns once and for all., so that we can go our separate ways.

this is a wrong statement. You dont pray for war. Liberia, sierra leone, yemen, congo etc suffered greatly because of war.

Even if Buhari takes peoples land by force and gives to his Fulani people.

The indigenes of the place should wait for the Fulanis to build their settlement. Then go there on quiet night with Molotov cocktail.

It is good to see that the same sets of nonentities calling Professor Wole Soyinka unprintable names just last week,
names that they can never call their grandfather.
All because of a boy on a plane, that his parent did not teach manners.
A boy that wakes up his parents with karate kicks every morning,
Saying why should the boy stand up for the PROF, afterall they both pay the same money.......
a man as old as his grandfather,
they are now the same sets of people hailing the PROF today!

Nigeria our darling country.
Hypocrites everywhere!
What a nation!!


You see what we are saying?
Na PROF Wole Soyinka dis tin dey call washed-up old fool so!

This guy so you have not treated your multiple personality disorder? Today you are Igbo, tomorrow Yoruba, but you are really from Benue state. Go for treatment, cow dung ain't helping you

Not may but will set Nigeria on Fire Your Lordship.
So please tell Buhari and Osinbajo to give Finances and F.G. BLUEPRINT to develop Ranches by themselves and for themselves(Democracy) to our 36 Constitutional State Governments.
It is undue privilege and undemocratic governance to set Fulanis, who are mainly immigrants in Nigeria, aside to establish Animal Settlements in other climes and tribal territories.
God bless U Sir.
God bless Nigeria.

Pls, mention one state in the north that Asari or Tompolo terrorized

What we need to do as good citizens of this country is to pray for our leaders for God to give them wisdom and knowledge to rule us peacefully. We should not criticize those in authority but to pray for them.

Benekruku:
Colonies/settlements or ranches are welcomed. The sole objective is confining them to one place. And with regards to letters in bold, thats the way forward, cos that way, they will be easier to monitor and be accounted for. You wont pot me Ikeja by law and find me in Ikorodu the next day.

I can easily account for all herdsmen in my state by mere summoning the manager of the colony, ranch or settlement.

Do you get my point? Anything to confine their operations is the way forward so you can fish out the criminals.

To say am appalled by this comment is me been modest with u. If I may ask u and I want genuine answers:
1. Do u pay for the so called cow meat u eat or the herdsmen gives it to u for free?
2. Will u rather have meat at the expense of the life of ur loved ones judging from precedence? Selah
