The Bayelsa government has donated 1,200 hectares of land to cattle herdsmen to control indiscriminate grazing in the state.

In December 2016, the government restricted the activities of herdsmen in the state to the Bayelsa Palm area in Yenagoa, the state capital.

According to the government, the decision was to prevent the invasion of farmlands and check any security breaches.

During an interactive session with stakeholders on Sunday, Shitu Mohammed, state chairman, Cattle ranches management and control committee, said the 1,200 hectares of land was for ranch development, grazing and slaughtering of cattle.

He said more ranches would be donated to the cattle rearers in order to maintain peace and order in the state.

Mohammed commended the Bayelsa government for releasing the land, saying the gesture would help to sustain the lasting peace that had existed between herdsmen and farmers in the state.

He also noted that the committee was set up by the state government to foster cordial relationship between the cattle rearers, farmers and the people of the state.

“This is simply because the committee in collaboration with the state government and the security agencies had put in place quick response mechanisms,” he said.

He called on the people of the state to appreciate the provision of the ranch as it will create job opportunities and boost tourism in the state.

The exact question that came to my mind when I saw the headline. Bayelsa is a riverine state, I don't see the state donating 1200 hectares of scare land to herdsmen.

This is a good decision.Its not by blaming people for the problems herdsmen are causing everywhere rather a solution that will reduce the problem.

I don't think it's a problem if it happens on state by state basis. Let it be well regulated.

Bayelsa doesn't have that kind of land they're talking about. This report is misleading.

Nnaa the issue here is Bayelsa giving herdsmen land but Obiano sef marry late. He is 7 years older than Okorocha and his kids are almost same age with mine.

You are an OKPO.
One could marry early but may not have kids on time as it is only GOD that gives kids.

In the case of Okorocha he had all his kids born imbeciles. So what is the point?

In your own case at 45 you are still jobless, unmarried and hopeless. When shall you leave your mother's one room and start your life? There's no even hope that you will be able to procreate. Gworo man

Lol! My father is younger than Obiano and his grandchildren as old as Obiano's children. My 1st born is older than Obiano's son FYI.

Can't you see that Okorocha's son is an imbeci.le?

Nwokem shut up. Do you know who is your father? You are over 45 so how could your questionable paternity be younger?

I have told you that I am the last person you would dare lie to as I know you down to your ikwerre maternal home.

Very soon your mates shall start welcoming their grandchildren while you are still wandering hopelessly unmarried.

Okorocha used his son for this purpose. In case you don't know.

Believe what you like but can we stick to the topic? Let's assume Okorocha gave 50 hectares of land to herdsmen or appeased herdsmen like Obiano http://wwwpunchng.com/obiano-pays-70-cows-appease-herdsmen/ what would be your take?

Obiano paid for cows while Imolites paid with their blood because their useless gov decided to play politics with their lives. Which is better? Be the judge..

Below are pics of Imolites slaughtered and burnt in their own state by the Fulani herdsmen.

Just because of hate, some folks have chosen to see truth insist it is a lie.

Peace is all we need.
