Vin Nwanna:Let me tell you. Southern Nigerians brought their healthy food habits with them to Chicago. Except for occasions when I needed to sacrifice a cow to the gods, it was always goats or rams and chickens. For $35, I got me a nice size goat. But that was when Americans thought of goats as only pets. Not anymore. Americans eat goats and the prices have gone up. They learned that goat meat is healthier than beef.What if the Fulani herdsmen grazed their cattle and no one bought the cows? Then what? Let me tell you. I prefer chicken and goat meet to beef any day.And I amEzeana Igirigi AchusimOdi-IsaaNwa Dim Orioha AkA OnyeukwuSent from my iPhone

Vin:If you like Buhari as your president, you must love the National Grazing Reserve Bill. You know something? India does not have this problem? Why? Cows are sacred and they don't ever kill them for beef. What if cows are also sacred in Nigeria? And no one buys or kills cows for food? Cows will become as scarce as fuel in Nigeria. Can you imagine Fulani herdsmen marching south to Idoma if no one is going to buy a cow from them? Drastic problems call for drastic measures.Think of this. In India, cows are sacred, but India has no fuel crisis. In Nigeria cows are not sacred, but Nigeria has fuel crisis. Could there be a link between the sanctity of cows and the scarcity of fuel? Is fuel scarce in Nigeria because cows are grazed for steaks?Hehehe. Hey hey hey. How about if we boycott Fulani cows for a year and see if our refineries will crank up and kiss fuel scarcity goodbye? And in the process, the National Grazing Bill will stall just as Buhari's budget.And I amEzeana Igirigi AchusimOdi-IsaaNwa Dim Orioha AkA OnyeukwuSent from my iPhone

The commission 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 cattlemen. If you feel that the commission 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 commission. 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 your land in the village or anywhere is not safe. The National Grazing Reserve Commission 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).On Tuesday, April 19, 2016 6:43 AM, "Ugochukwu Ejinkeonye scruples206@yahoo.com [NaijaObserver]" <NaijaObserver@yahoogroups.com> wrote:
