"I decided to read a copy of the National
Grazing Reserve 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".
My conclusion? This is the Sudan
downloading right here in Nigeria.
On April 18th 2016 Mr. Duru Collins wrote the
following on his facebook wall.
"This National Grazing Bill if passed into law will
just mark the beginning of apartheid in our
country. When the government of Zimbabwe
collected land from the white people who
naturalised there the whole world worked
against President Robert Mugabe. Sanctions
were stiffened against his regime even though
the whites in Zimbabwe were not African by
origin. In our country today there are people
that are not Nigerians by origin and these
people are making laws to take over our
inheritance. This nation will burn once this law
is passed". My conclusion? This is Lebanon and
Zimbabwe downloading right here in Nigeria.
Kindly forgive the repetition of some earlier
words at the beginning of his contribution but
on April 18th Mr. Gabriel Ogbonnaya wrote the
following on his Facebook wall.
"I decided to read a copy of the National
Grazing Reserve Bill and I was surprised at what
I saw. The Bill creates a commission to be
chaired by a Chairman to be appointed by the
president, to be confirmed by the senate. 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). 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 all things to
force our national Assembly members 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 Fulanis that rear cattle in Nigeria. That
law, when passed, shall fulfill 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 Rep 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 there 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 favor 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". My
conclusion? This is Yugoslavia and Rwanda
unfolding right here in Nigeria.
Finally in an article titled ''The Outlaws Of
Islam'' (Premium Times, April 15th 2016), I wrote
the following,
"And if they are still in any doubt about where
all this is heading in the Nigerian context they
should consider the following. On December 30th
1964, Mallam Bala Garba told the West African
Pilot newspaper that:
''the conquest to the sea is now in sight. When
our god-sent Ahmadu Bello said some years ago
that our conquest will reach the sea shores of
Nigeria, some idiots in the South were doubting
its possibilities. Today have we not reached the
sea? Lagos is reached. It remains Port-Harcourt.
It must be conquered and taken''.
This is an eloquent expression of radical Islam,
with its pervasive use of violence as a tool of
conquest and subjugation, in its purest and most
obvious form.
Inspired and equipped with this Janjaweed
philosophy and ethos, the whole of core northern
Nigeria was conquered by Sheik Usman Dan
Fodio through the use of terror and by the
power of the sword in the name of jihad.
Millions of innocent non-Muslims were cut to
pieces in the process.
Given the activities of Boko Haram and the
Fulani herdsmen in our country today it appears
that some in our shores are still interested in
implementing that satanic agenda.
They wish to continue where Usman Dan Fodio
stopped and they wish to ''dip the Koran in the
Atlantic ocean''.
Their latest attempt is the introduction and
proposal of what is known as the National
Grazing Reserve Bill which will give the Fulani
herdsmen the right to claim other peoples land
all over the country and which will empower
them by law to create their own settlements and
communities in the territory of others.
Worse still under that law the government will
be compelled to fund those settlements and put
all that they need in terms of infrastructure in
place for them. That is why our Minister of
Agriculture is now talking about importing
Brazilian grass for the Fulani herdsmen and their
cattle.
This subtle and exceptionally brilliant attempt to
infiltrate and conquer by guile and assimilation
reminds me of the frightful laws that were put in
place in the old wild western prairies of 19th
century America.
Those laws gave the white settlers rights over
the lands of the indigenous Red Indians and saw
the Indians themselves subjected to genocide
and ethnic cleansing and herded into barren
reservations that were not fit for human
habitation.
It was in this way that the "wild west" was
conquered and the once proud and noble war-
like Indian tribes of the western prairies were
subjugated and subdued.
Sadly our legislators in the National Assembly
from the south and the Middle simply do not
appreciate and cannot comprehend the serious
implications of what they are doing by
supporting this evil legislation and neither will
the consequences of their naivety and folly be
suffered by their constituents until it is far too
late.
If that law is ever passed and implemented, two
years from that time we will regret it deeply as a
nation because it will result in nothing but
conflict, chaos and strife between the Fulani
herdsmen and settlers on the one hand and the
local indigenous population on the other.
The tragedy that unfolded in Jos, Plateau state
between the indigenous Christian Beroms and
the settler Muslim Fulani for many years is a
graphic example of what will be replicated all
over the south and the Middle Belt between the
Fulani and the various local indigenous
populations if that law is ever passed and
implemented.
As a matter of fact it will be far worse than
anything that Jos ever saw. The Cattle Grazing
Act will not result in enhancing unity and peace
but instead it will result in division, bloodshed,
carnage and chaos". My conclusion? This is Iraq,
Syria and Libya unfolding right here in Nigeria.
When you create a conflict which has its roots in
religion, ethnicity, land rights, the attempt to
marginalize, dominate, subjugate and conquer
others and the quest for liberation and freedom
from slavery and bondage all mixed into one you
are toying with a conflagration that will not only
be horrendous and that will not only affect the
whole of Africa but will not end in the next fifty
years to one hundred years.
Let me be clear: the greatest evil that we are
confronted with in Nigeria today is the National
Grazing Reserve Bill. It is more evil than
anything that we have ever seen before. It is
more insidious and dangerous than anything
that we can possibly imagine.
It will do more harm to us than Boko Haram and
the Nigerian civil war put together and it will
result in open war and the total disintegration
of Nigeria. I am speaking prophetically and I am
saying this under the leading and guidance of
the Holy Spirit. We must stop this cantankerous
and divisive Bill from seeing the light of the day
and being made into law. There are some things
that are bigger, greater and more important
than partisan politics and this is one of them.
We must all stand together regardless of our
political affiliation and stop this evil Trojan
horse from being smuggled into our ranks by
those that seek to subjugate and conquer us.
We must resist those that seek to strip us of our
self-respect, self-worth, liberty and dignity.
We must stand up against those that seek to
destroy us and rob us of our faith and our
ancestral lands. We must say ‘’never’’ to those
that seek to belittle and enslave us and reduce
us to nothing even in our own nation.
May God help our people and our country and
may He deliver us from evil.
