Fulani Herders are never interested in land , they never build houses and they never stay in one place. Land is of no economic value to them. What they are after is grass for their cattle. They are always on the move looking for grass , not land.

You are correct fulani are NOMAD OR Pastorialist who are moving from one place to another looking for grass?

But modern day reality has overtaken that cultural practise which seems to suggest that herders have to adopt modern method of animal husbandry such as ranching.

You can not move to another persons land all because your culture permit you to do such.

That is TRESSPASSING and it is a punishment offence under the law.

Besides it has led to clashes between fulani herders and famers leading to killings of farmers and destruction of property.

That is a serious breach of the peace in the land.

Lovenorth:
Fulani herdsmen are Nigerians so they should be allowed to do their peaceful business anywhere in Nigeria without discriminations

ANYWHERE IN NIGERIA indeed !

Can a christian southerner go and pounce on land in the northern state?

These are the guys that launch sporadic attacks on banks in Nigeria with their assault rifles.

Everyday for the thief, one day for the owner.

Investor137:
I know it can only be an okpe/urhobo man..most useless people I ever came across in my entire existence.

Incest cut across culture.

I have heard news about Igbo, yoruba and so other tribes in Nigeria engaging it.

I see it as a personal FANTASY by the accussed to please his evil taste.

WHERE ARE WE GOING IN NIGERIA?

Incest news is becoming too common in Nigeria.

In the past in many contemporary african society especially in the villiages.

guys like Mr Akpokpokpo is picked up by the youths in the community matched to the King court and flog with koboko.

He is banished from the land for 20 years.

Lifestyle is part of the problem.

One should watch what he or she eats or drinks.

But the northerners too are their own problem.

You accept a religious culture that put your people in prison.

Then why is Nigeria in a democracy?

Why are we a secular state?

Hisbah corp that is arresting violator of sharia code is sourcing their salaries from VAT collection after breaking of alcoholic beverages in Kano, Kaduna and other northern states.

AMERICAN GOVERNMENT LET THIS PEOPLE DOWN at their greatest time of need.

Now the Taliban have come with an ANTI-PEOPLE STYLE OF RULERSHIP merged with strict islamic penal code.

They should have stationed 5,000 soldiers in Kabul as a deterent to the Talaban oppressive government.

The United states have thousands of their troups in Okinawa, Japan and another thousands of their troup in Seoul, South Korea.

Why are they in a hurry to leave Afghanistan

It is on record that they ( us government ) spent trillions of dollars on Afghanistan and they could no longer sustain the expenditure.

Is that enough reasons considering the fact that the americans are spending much more in Japan and Korea?

Jesuschristus:
China or Russia will soon take over world power,US is now weak and defeated

China can not take over world power

They are not that strong in terms of millitary.

The russian are not that rich and they are isolated by many western european countries with only a few countries like Iran, Pakistan, Kazastan, Uzbekistan on their side.

Even tthe russian were driven out of Afghanistan in tthe 1980s by the Mujaheedeen.

STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE 

NIGERIANS ARE UNBREAKABLE, DO NOT HATE EACH OTHER - OSINBAJO
 
* VP adds: fair, swift justice essential to address grievances_
 
* Says classification of indigenes, non-indigenes is apartheid
 
* Criminals are not representatives of ethnic, religious groups
 
Despite the activities of those with divisive agenda, Nigeria will prevail over her tribulations due to the resilience, faith, hope and strength of its people, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.
 
Prof. Osinbajo stated this today at the National Social Cohesion Dialogue organized by the Africa Polling Institute, which held at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja.
 
Describing Nigerians as "an unbreakable people", the VP emphasized the shared interests of Nigerians across different facets of life, noting that Nigeria’s diversity can be used to drive further economic growth.
 
He explained, “And in the face of the challenges confronting us, we must remind ourselves of certain truths. The first is that our present challenges are neither unique nor exceptional. Various nations at various points in their histories underwent similar tribulations. It is within our power to address these issues and emerge from them even stronger as a people.
 
“Despite the divisive rhetoric of demagogues and the utterances of those who profit from disharmony, Nigerians do not hate each other. Every day, millions of Nigerians of different ethnicities and creeds comingle, make common cause and forge friendships across our fabled fault lines. While we have our share of such acrimony, the situation does not support the narrative that we are a nation of fragments condemned to be perpetually at each other’s throats.
 
"What matters is how committed we are to the constructive management of diversity and the peaceful resolution of such conflict. This is where we can and should certainly work much harder.”
 
Advocating for unity despite sundry differences, the VP warned against "polarising identity politics".
 
He said, "the truth is that Nigeria has evolved beyond the sort of easy balkanization that is proposed by some separatists. Politicians who continue to traffic in division and discord are behind the times and have failed to take note of how much more integrated our society has become."
 
Noting that the fair, swift and equitable dispensation of justice to address both everyday grievances and long-suffered wrongs is essential for fostering social cohesion, the Vice President added that, "we must strengthen institutions which at every level can deliver justice, inclusion and mutual security."
 
According to the Vice President, "an abiding feature of being a Nigerian is our optimism... Our capacity for hope is a creative optimism… Every day, millions of our people armed with their faith, skills, determination and wits take their destinies into their hands, working hard to forge a better life for themselves and their families.
 
“Nigerians of this ilk are everywhere repairing, healing, building, trading and doing business. They believe that tomorrow will yield a greater harvest than that of today and that as long as they have breath in them they can change their material conditions. It is this capacity for hope that makes us resilient in the face of incredible odds and even in the teeth of adversity. This is who we are as a people and it is why I believe that we will prevail over today’s tribulations.”
 
Speaking further on the need for unity and cohesion, Prof. Osinbajo said, "In many quarters, there are feelings of alienation and exclusion. To this point, we must recognize the ways in which we perpetuate institutional discrimination and cause people to see their identities as weapons for procuring opportunity, often at the expense of others.
 
"We see this whenever Nigerians are denied opportunity on the basis of their state of origin or because they are “non- indigenes.” We see it when a Nigerian that has been resident in a state all his life is suddenly excluded from admission into an educational institution or an employment opportunity because he is not considered an “indigene.” 
 
According to the VP, "All Nigerians have a constitutional right to live, work and enjoy their lives in peace and safety under the law. The classification of Nigerians as “indigenes” and “non-indigenes” is a form of apartheid and contradicts our declared aspirations towards equality and unity.
 
“Our Constitution enjoins Government to “secure full residence rights for every citizen in all parts of the Federation” and this is an imperative that we must commit to across all tiers of Government. All that should matter in evaluating ourselves is where we live and fulfill our civic obligations.
 
“This is why when we launched our Social Investment Programmes, the eligible beneficiaries were selected based on their states of residence and none was discriminated against on any basis. This was in keeping with the idea that the only true path to national progress lies in broadening access to opportunity for all Nigerians without qualification.
 
“Our destinies have become so interlinked as to be inseparable. This is why this administration is investing heavily in transportation infrastructure – road, rail, sea and river ports – to reduce the distances between our people and link localities to markets and enable trade, travel and tourism.
 
“Our constitution guarantees a full portfolio of civil liberties and it is the responsibility of Government at all levels to give life to these provisions. For example, states should as a matter of deliberate policy ensure that the freedom of worship and provide spaces in which citizens can lawfully erect places of worship.”
 
The VP further noted that even as the Federal Government continues to ramp up efforts in tackling the nation’s security challenges, a united citizenry would further help, especially in local policing strategies.
 
He said, “as we address the challenge of insecurity and the profusion of threats to public safety, we are increasingly turning to multilevel policing strategies that are consonant with our federal architecture. It is important that the localized security mechanisms being established by subnational authorities are constituted in an inclusive manner and reflect the true diversity of those that live in local communities. No truly sustainable security umbrella can be built on the basis of exclusion.”
 
According to the Vice President, criminal elements should not be generalized as representation of ethnic or religious groups. 
 
However, he noted that, "we must ensure that we see it for what it is – a criminal act which must be punished according to the law and not an ethnic conflict. Criminals must not be seen or treated as anything other than criminals and certainly not as representatives of any ethnic or religious group. 
 
"We will not defeat crime by dividing ourselves. We can only overcome it by uniting against our common enemy – the criminals who terrorize our people.”
 
The Vice President further said that nation-building was hard work and an inter-generational endeavour. 
 
He urged that all Nigerians “must renew the social contract and deepen the meaning and durability of our citizenship.”
 
The Vice President further highlighted the significance of unity in diversity in driving economic and social inclusion, stating that "Nigeria has what it takes to operate favourably in this world.”
 
The VP added, "Nigeria will be a great loser if we were to break up; when we see the greatest economic advantage to our size about to come to life. In short, staying together as a collective affords each of our communities far more opportunities for prosperity than they would have if they went their separate ways. We have all that it takes to be truly more than the sum of our parts.
 
“It is our responsibility to harness and consolidate these assets for the common good of all Nigerians. We will continue to work hard to create an umbrella of inclusive prosperity over our people. This is the defining task of our generation.”
 
He also highlighted examples that showed the power of unity over division, including that of 83-year-old Islamic cleric, Mallam Abdullahi Abubakar, who saved the lives of hundreds of Christians from terrorists in Barkin Ladi, Plateau State in 2018; as well as the reported ethnic conflict between Hausas and Yorubas in Shasha market, Ibadan, in 2021, where the VP stated that “members of both groups protected and shielded each other from harm.”
 
“Our resilience as a nation owes a great deal to this truth – that Nigerians are a deeply warm, peace-loving, humane people and they are capable of great courage and compassion. Our task is to strengthen and transform our institutions so that they better reflect these values,” Prof. Osinbajo stated.
 
The Vice President commended the Africa Polling Institute for organizing the event, which he noted was a significant work or social research that will help drive a more informed and constructive debate about Nigeria’s present and future.

STOP FORCING UNITY ON NIGERIANS.

These so called unity that General Yakubu Gowon and General Obasanjo preached to Nigerian s years after years is now leading to open grazing and cattle colony.

Babara1994:
Doesn't look neat enough. Whole crab, whole fish...

Explain clearer as per the neatness.

Their decision to celebrate divorce will definitely sounds strange to the watching public.

Is her case still being transferred by the IGP to Abuja ?

That was the rumour we heard?

WARRI NO DEY CARRY LAST !

I hail you !

Guyman02:
Uzodinma and Lalong are playing APC politics with the lives of their people and that's unacceptable

LALONG IS A SHAME TO THE GOOD PEOPLE OF PLATEAU STATE.

He failed to stand against Buhari the way governor Ortom is doing.

If Imo state breaks the resolution taking by the southern governors in Asaba, Delta state.

Then there will be a big problem for Governor Uzodinma.

Let me believe that he was misquoted or he is just trying to massage the ego of President Muhammadu Buhari who is so anxious to establish open grazing for his fulani kinsmen who are pastorialist .

This is the "STREET SIDE OF MONEY"

Hustle which ever way you could to get rich.

If this guy had succeed he will come back home to Nigeria to SPRAY DOLLARS before our very face while driving jeep in town.

OBI CUBANA a nightclub business went to his town in Oba, Anambra state where he held his mother burial.

He killed hundreds of cows for the ceremony and everywhere was agog with celebration as money was being sprayed left and right.

If you want to succeed in life learn to HUSTLE LEGIT there is dignity in labour at least Obi Cubana have showed us how he started as an apprentice learning the art of business before he was able to make it.

abokii want to head APC !

See wetin Oshiomole use him hand throway.

FIX THE ELECTRICITY POWER SECTOR FIRST.

Power is in short supply, irregular and totally comatose.

Buhari is jumping into railway, and now airplane.

What about the medical sector that too is in a sorry state with resident doctors on strike.

Nothing Wey Musa no go see for Sokoto !

The north breed poverty too much.

Wahala people.

matm:
Brethren,there is no place like home
They are all muslims of d same faith who believe in jihad and koran"s teaching.So,they should stay back and join other believers in practicing their religion without interference from unbelievers,infidels and westerners.

They have tasted western culture especially the taste of being free from oppressive government.

That does not change their Islamic faith.

Western culture don enter their body
GON GON GON !

theInterpreter:
Same way slave masters need their slaves.

But why are Afghans leaving?
Are they not Muslims like the Taliban?

They are leaving because they have tasted the true meaning of freedom from the western countries.

Under the American occupation, women were given the choice of wearing the hijab, right to education, right to work.

Their men and women wore jeans, adopted westernised living style.
There was women football team

Many Nigerian who were born during the British colonial rule in Nigeria in the 1940s and 1950 can testify that they enjoyed so many European opportunity.

It is on record that Nigeria started deteriorating when the nation got it's Independence.

And many of our political class were promoted to replace the outgoing colonial official.
Nigerians who got British scholarship pull down the ladder that took them up.

Many Nigerian who could not put up with the declining standards of living left for European countries.

Just the same way the westernised Afghan are leaving for other safer country.

Covid 19

The "BIG MEN DISEASE"

These big men already have health complication.

When covid hit them their weak immunity offers little resistance.

May her gentle soul rest in peace.

Amen

BUHARI WANT A "COW REPUBLIC "
