Agreed we are omo alade but you are still evading the question.

If people like you without strategy are who we put Oduduwa destinies in their hand then I fear it won’t come in 50years.

We need to do things differently, that is what differentiates achievers and talkers. We can’t continue to use the same tactics that doesn’t work.

Organizing rallies, Facebook comments, Twitter comments won’t get us Oduduwa. We need to pressurize the leaders first, how can we handicap Tinubu and etc to buy into the Oduduwa by fire by force?

How can we handicap Pa Adebanjo to buy the idea, remember ge chose rsstructuring over Oduduwa just today? How can we handicap Makinde et. Al, the Kings, the wealthy, the decisions makers.

I’m taking about daring ways to get these guys to the table by fire by force!

Yes we have the common man on our side. But common man alone won’t give you Oduduwa, I repeat it won’t.

Even if you want to go to war, you still need those folks up there or else we will all die like chickens. You need money, connections, resources, to win wars and not Facebook comment waiting on America to declare a truce.

You will pe lepe like Yoruba say!

LegendHero:
Fair enough you have your own line of argument which seems valid too.

However I keep asking you time and time again, what modalities do you think will be the optimal solution to achieve the Oduduwa?

Rallies from Igboho? Do you know OPC led the same kind of secessionist idea before? Nothing new in what Igboho is doing. Social media just gave it more coverage because the world has changed from the early 2000 era.

What I’m asking is what are we doing differently this time around to secure Oduduwa republic? Rallies and abuse online? Twitter and Facebook vituperations?

LegendHero:
No I don’t believe that.

I believe there are hidden agenda with the killings and it’s more than just cows.

However there is a reason why the grazing reserves ban is important. If after actioning the ban, we can be sure that any Fulani that portray themselves as being herders is a threat coz the real herders would have gone to Kano/North grazing reserves in their numbers.

Then it will be more easier to waylay these guys and take the bull by the horn more coz it’s not a case of persecution against the Fulani that the FG might exploit.

I know what I’m saying might not make perfect sense, but I hate it when southerners continue to cry and behave helplessly anytime the Fulani man name is mentioned.

If we all fold our hand and start saying Oduduwa will come and we will solve this once and for all, how many of us will continue to die before Oduduwa Republic comes? That doesn’t even stop herdsmen problem totally coz these marauders are doing rubbish in Ghana and some African countries too.

LegendHero:
I know you have your doubt about total enforcement of the grazing ban which I also do but things require time and will.

We don’t say Killer herdsmen will vanish the forest in the south in 1 month after the ban, but continuous enforcement, investment in securities and bolder steps in equipping state forces with the necessary tools they need will definitely solve the menace.

It’s like this because the governors are not test testing the full strength of their power.

But if the Southern governors eventually drop the ball under the pretext that the FG say this and that, then they are coward because FG cannot stop a union of Southern governors. It’s not possible!

The only political action they will try pulling is saying they will replicate same for southerners in the North like the card Malami played about spare parts.

LegendHero:
Southern governor will get it through. One thing about southerners is that we ignorantly attribute too much power to these Fulani guys and drop the ball every time over tantrums without standing as a man.

Remember when Amotekun idea was created, Garuba and Malawi said the same thing that it’s unconstitutional but yet it became a reality and standing till this day.

Just stay tuned, this ban on open grazing will be effected. You can see Tinubu caucus even coming out openly to endorse the ban by the governor in Asaba declaration. It speaks volume.

The difference between me and you is that you tailor everything towards Oduduwa, run away from playing the game and attribute too much power to the Fulani.

I support Oduduwa too but in the interim, are we just gonna be looking and crying that Fulani this Fulani that without taking any drastic action to solve some problems until the Oduduwa become fruition?

LegendHero:
Read that news again and you will see that Garuba Sheu only made vituperation against the Southern governors and that WILL NOT in anyway affect what they had in place.

Infact Garuba already said in the same statement that the grazing reserves will be started by willing states which will be the North.

I know Nairalanders just assimilate news based on headlines so I’m not surprised.

If you also check well, you will see that the statement you gave the link is also excactly the same thing as that of this thread.

The only difference is the headline.

Awaiting your reply!

LegendHero:
What do you think the South could do to Buhari setting up grazing reserves in the North?

Do you read that statement of Garuba and where he specifically said willing states? You think that statement is there by mistake?

They know no southern states will be part of willing!

Can you engage me in an argument and not run off like you usually do?

LegendHero:
Well fair enough.

Since it will be starting with states committed to grazing reserves.

I’m sure there are several Southern states that will NEVER be committed to grazing reserves so it’s better the herdsmen should try to make use of those in Kano and Northern states.

I hope this can solve the menace of the killer herdsmen and the government of the South should then take actions to flush the killer herdsmen out of their territory since the ones that are legit will already be in Kano when this presidency action take hold.

As per Garuba omo Yakuba vituperation against the Southern governors, no time to dwell on roforofo talks coz action speak louder than noise. The Southern governor should back their Asaba declaration with actions coz the presidency can’t do Jack against a union of Southern governors.

I hope 2023 is different.

The clamour for Biafra and Oduduwa Republics will die down when Nigeria gets a just and visionary president.

Buhari can't marginalize certain tribes and expect them to be committed to a united Nigeria.

ablejesus26:
Even if I don't believe this news,but this are the kind of things we get when some animals go killing security men.

We spoke out and condemned this madness not bcus we are on the side of the evil fg,but bcus we know this will have a very negative effect on the innocent citizens of Igboland.

iboboyswag:
With an increase, we still pay one of the lowest in Africa. Nigeria as a country is under taxed. But we are not yet ready for that conversation.

Nigeria needs to move forward from this hand to mouth approach.

Try this method in your family and watch how poverty plays ping pong with your destinies.
Our cost of governance is very high. Granted there are lots of other issues but many solutions would not see the light of day if we don't do this.

No government the world over operates like this. As we lean up the civil service, so would the same cascade to all part of government.

ivandragon:
What people don't seem to realise is that the retrenchment done in Kaduna is a test run for what the FG & other states plan to do.

If the one in Kaduna succeeds, then the FG & other states would follow suit. They are simply learning about responses & how they can be countered when it becomes nationwide.
