Ruga: High-level settlement for herdsmen shot down by suspicion

sed by open grazing of cattle is said to be one of the effects of poor leadership, which is seen as a major problem in the country. The public outcry against the atrocities of armed herdsmen across the states of the federation has been unabated, compelling Nigerians to call on the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government to proffer a permanent solution to the crisis.

The US envoy said, “The US is concerned about the tension in the country, especially now with the introduction of Ruga. The concern of the US is how all ethnic groups in the country can live peacefully. “I think that there is going to be trouble in this country if this Ruga thing is not handled imaginatively and with humanity as priority. Any country where cattle take priority over human life is definitely at an elementary stage.”

The Coalition of Northern Groups gave the Federal Government a 30-day ultimatum to implement the Ruga project in the interest of peace and unity in the country. “We are in democracy and this is not the time of military rule. We already have enough conflicts at hand and we cannot afford to add Ruga to them.”

He said, “Nigerians have not been told the public purpose in the private business of cattle rearing because land would eventually be acquired by governors. Under the Land Use Act, land can only be acquired for overriding public purpose. What is the public purpose in cattle rearing? “So, representatives of nationality groups, who feel alienated by government policy, are bound to reject an initiative coming from a government that has not pretended to lean towards inclusivity in its policy formulation, implementation and appointments.”

No southern states wants this settlements. You want to make Nigeria a Fulani WA Diaspora.

It was nothing but fulanisation/hausanisation/islamisation agenda.

Fulani are thief’s. How can you take your cows to eat farmers crops. If it where to be USA, you will pay for damages probably go to jail. We southerners Say no to RUGA policy

Now I see why Fulani/Hausa keep threatening igbos because they have businesses in northern part of the country. I have check Edo, delta,rivers,bayelsa,calabar,Osun,oyo,ogun,Enugu,Anambra,IMO states, I have never seen an Hausa/Fulani man build a house.

The secret is out,their hope have been dashed. Now we can pin points why killing are unstoppable.
