I decided to read the National Grazing Reserve Council Bill and I was surprised at what I saw.

The Bill creates a Council to be chaired by a Chairman to be appointed by the President.

The Council shall have the power to take your land anywhere the land is located in the country and then pay you compensation.

Your land, when taken, shall be assigned to herdsmen who shall use your land for grazing purposes.

They shall bring cows to the land and you shall lose the land permanently to those Fulani cattlemen.

If you feel that the council was not right to take your land, you can go to court but before you go to court, you must first of all notify the Federal Attorney General of your intention to sue the Council.

Apart from notifying, you must get the consent and authority of the Federal Attorney General before you can sue.
So that means that if the Attorney General refuses to give his consent to the suit, you have lost your land forever to the herdsmen.

And this law, when passed, shall apply to the whole country so it means that even your land in the village or anywhere is not safe.

The National Grazing Reserve Council would have the power to take away your land from you anytime they want and pay you whatever they want as compensation (even when you don't want to sell, and remember that for you to get compensation, you must have documents showing or proving ownership).

So I think that we all in the South West, South South and South East must rise up and reject this Bill.

We must do every thing possible to force our national Assembly members to desist from passing that bill into law.

That bill is a deliberate attempt to take our lands and hand the land over to the Fulani cattlemen since it is only the Fulani's that rear cattle in Nigeria.

That law, when passed, shall fulfil the directive of Uthman Dan Fodio and other northern leaders to take over other parts of Nigeria.

I implore you to use all available means to implore your senator and Reps not to pass that law.

That law will destroy Nigeria. All over the world, ranches are established and used to rear cattle. The farmers buy land and put their cattle there.

There is no country where the land of the citizens are compulsorily acquired and given to others. This is evil, and designed to favour the Fulanis where the president comes from.

We must resist the passage of that bill into law to save Nigeria, and to protect our future generations

Please share this piece until it goes viral. We must defend our land and protect our children.

I just keep on pitying for a country, a country that can't even practice true federalism.In true federalism, the power is never at the center, In true federalism, each state controls itself independent of happenings in other state.In a truely federalistic country, you can never impose a bill on a state, that's what happened in the U.S where some states accepted the gay law and some states rejected it hence, once you travel to a state, you obey the traditional laws of the state.
I blame our Governors sha for not knowing their rights, is it not when we vote someone with not even a B.Sc in political science to be at the helm of affairs? Someone who knows nothing about governing and being governed.
In a federal state, each state contributes the same percentage quota to the center and not using the quota of one region to feed both the central and the whole county!
And that's the more reason why this cattle chasing fools are not even bothered about developing but hell bent on turning even our source of livelihoods to grazing lands, why? because someone is feeding them.
Let us practice true federalism so that those that want to bomb would bomb themself, those who love destroying crops and farmlands would starve to death because of their own belligerence.

LOYAL MI NI PE KOLEWERK

We are Nigerians not Zombies that everything can be forced down our throat without us being able to lift even a finger we'll surely fight this..

The bill or law is not passing to anywhere cos them politicians are even the owners of massive lands cows can comfortably graze in

Indeed, there was a country

If this is true, posterity will never forgive those that force thus buhari on us...

Your are the one to be pitied here

See Subtle Jihad

We really need to sit up. Buhari came with an agenda to Islamise Nigeria, and he is going about it systematically.

The handwriting is glaring, we don't need any more convincing.

My representative in the house must not vote yeah to this bill.

Yeah, we trully got a lot of mad men and women here... A mad man is the man who in front of tyranny and evil form deafness and blindness, considering the perpetrators are from his mother's womb. Why lend a leaf from other Nigerians that won't keep quiet in the face of despotic govt or rulership... Please do grow up as your parent are tired of breastfeeding your hammerhead... Love yah still
