New Nigeria Vanguard

There are some people who no amount of training or grooming or education can make literate or progressive in their outlook, gravitational orientation or conduct, basically, their mannerism and world vision and biases are already hard coded in their personalities. There are others (like me) whose accent cannot change despite living and interacting with all manner of people at various levels overseas, while there are others who come and spend one summer abroad and acquire a European (“acata”) accent for life. In the field of leadership there are those like Buhari, who despite undergoing the best leadership training program Nigeria has to offer, end up coming across as lacking intellect, polish and finesse and who display shockingly poor leadership skills if you believe all the stories you hear on social media. The newly appointed CJN is one such person, who despite sitting on the bench for donkey years and submitting briefs and supposedly acquiring a PHD and cross training in sharia law ...

As we debate RUGA and Fulanization many wailers and Nigerians act like we would not be faced by both prospects if only Atiku were President forgetting that his feeder lot proposal is tantamount in implementation to RUGA’s.  Nigerians need to understand that Whether you have an Atiku or Buhari presidency they objective to appropriate land for the Fulani, the “singular custodians” of Nigeria beef, to sustain and nurture our herd of cows remains the public policy goal of the federal government for lack of plausible alternatives or competition. According to reports even former president Goodluck Jonathan gave his premature to the project and an idoma man, the minister of Agriculture has not resigned over the proposal and has tried to sell it the only issue is that it is being accelerated by the Fulani dominated and partisan administration of President Buhari. The statewide implementation of RUGA across the country however was temporarily halted by public fury of non-northern states but...

As we debate RUGA and Fulanization many wailers act like we would not be in this predicament if Atiku were president forgetting that his feeder lots are tantamount in implementation to RUGA.  Whether Atiku or Buhari the objective to appropriate land for the Fulani, the “singular custodians” of Nigeria beef, remains the public policy goal of the federal government as even Goodluck according to reports gave his premature to the project and an idoma man, the minister of Agriculture has not resigned over the proposal.  State governments need to act proactively to thwart seizures of communal lands by creating their own ranches and paying attention to animal husbandry or stand aside and give up land they are not really using for anything to the Fulani who are the only ones serious about preserving the cows we depend on for EXTRA meat and PEPPER soup.  With all the lip service paid to agriculture by Middlebelt Governors why are there no vast tracts of farmland for cow rearing, d...

The hate of Buhari is blinding some Nigerians about certain issues, some Igbo and other Nigerians will be the first one to comment about this administration not obeying court order because Zakzaky and Dusuki are still in jail, but they will forget that abusive Nnamdi Kanu was released and allowed to escape. Others will not remember Buhari’s goal to Islamize Nigeria when advocating for the release of Zakzaky, others will applaud his followers for repeated demonstrations and recent attack at the National Assembly as a results of Buhari’s lawlessness and refusal to obey court orders. Even the tiv will decry Buhari’s lawlessness about Zakzaky but decry Islamization that the Shia movement is more militant about. Even though they have been demonized has anyone really explored the philosophies and radical bent of the Shia movement. Are they not based in the same Zaria that has been the bastion of a virulent strain of Islamic radicalism that caused so many riots in Zaria forcing ABU to close r...

It is tragic that there has been so much killing because of herdsman vs farmer clashes over the years to the point where the friendly domesticated cow is now the target of so much disdain. Our mission as a nation should be to bring the criminals and murderous Fulani and nomadic militia hiding under cover of cow herding to commit grievous atrocities to book and secure justice and compensation for victims and not take out our anger on a COW. Buhari’s is responsible for the animosity with his lackadaisical anafafd criminal partisanship conduct of withholding punishment that has blurred the issue for Nigerians about the national need to prevent our cows from going into extinction, just like our donkeys. In a few years all our cattle can be wiped out due to disease, just look at the ugly cattle we eat and abandonment by the Fulani themselves due to logistics and we will have to import beef along with everything else by the tons, only then will Nigerians understand the national and food secu...
