DO NOT GIVE GRAZING LANDS TO THE FULANI: Professor Ben Nwabueze wrote on 22/01/2018

The name Shiekh dan Fodio, the Sanduana’s forbear, is worth recalling again.
He was a Fulani immigrant in Gobir (now renamed Sokoto), who was accommodated and well-favoured by the King of Gobir.
Dan Fodio mobilised an army of Fulani immigrants who, in 1804 – 1808, overran all the Hausa Kingdoms and some other neighbouring communities, dethroned their rulers, installing Fulani emirs in their places, and imposed the Moslem religion on them.

Thus was Hausaland together with other conquered lands, islamised, and a caliphate established over Sokoto, with dan Fodio as its Sultan.
That was the price the Hausas paid for their hospitality in granting access to grazing land to the Fulani immigrant settlers.
With knowledge of the tragic experience of the Hausas in 1804 – 1808, we should not make the tragic mistake of letting history repeat itself in 2018.

It should be mentioned that the Fulani immigrant settlers’ ravaging on-slaught failed to subdue the Bornu and Jukun kingdoms, whose rulers have continued to maintain suzerainty over the their terrotiries till date.

Wike has done well in Port Harcourt.

Unfortunately, the name Harcourt should be changed because he was a British paedophile who raped little boys and girls and died by committing suicide.
Our people don't know history and it's very unfortunate.

The power to grant land for grazing purpose is enshrined in the constitution of federal republic of Nigeria Land use Act CAP L5 where it is stated the local government has the power to grant customary right of occupancy to any person or organisation for the use of land for grazing purpose and such other purposes ancillary to agricultural purposes.it shall not be more than 5000hectares if granted for grazing purpose.
