Call Miyetti Allah To Order, South East Farmers Tells Buhari

South East farmers under the auspices of Igbo Farmers Progressive Union (IFPU) has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to call the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association to order, insisting that no group should kill others in the country.

Kelechi Isiodu, IFPU Director, New Media, in a statement made available to DAILY INDEPENDENT on Tuesday, noted that prior to the 2015 general elections, Buhari was named the National Grand Patron of MIyetti Allah.

The union referred to statements credited to one Abdullahi Bodejo, Miyetti Allah Leader, and Kautel Hore, the association’s national president, in which they maintained that every state in the country deserved a RUGA.

The union also stated that Bodejo had described the Fulani as the largest ethnic group in the country, and as such ought to be given places to settle all over the country.

“We now request him to call them to order and arrest the rising tension in the land through their nefarious activities. State governments that so desire, should feel free to legislatively ban open grazing of cattle without further delay.

“In the first place, it is a lie from the pit of hell that Fulani are the largest ethnic group in Nigeria. Far from it, without latching on the Hausa, these migrants mostly from Futa Jallon, are a minority, and not indigenous to Nigeria.

“In their imperialist and expansionist agenda, they have over the centuries rode rough shod over other ethnic groups and communities encroached on their land and in many cases taken over or sacked same using RUGA methods. The Hausa definition of RUGA is ‘cow settlement’.

Olu Of Warri Defends Tradition, Speaks on Christianity The Olu of Warri, His Majesty Ògíamẹ̀ Atúwàtse III, has dispelled the insinuation that there is a conflict between the traditional thrones and Christendom. The monarch, who stated this when he received the Soun of Ogbomoso land, Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye, Orumogege III, in his Palace in Warri Kingdom, Delta State, said that the two institutions were not necessarily antithetical. He also debunked the assumption that traditional institutions were synonymous with fetishism and the worship of creations made by human beings and reasoning. He, however, noted that the two institutions can play complementary role that will contribute to the growth and development of the country.
