As the September 1 deadline set aside by Southern governors for the banning of open grazing nears, herders have said they will not recognise such policy, describing it as satanic. Herders, through their socio-cultural group, Miyetti Allah Kauta Hore, said the planned policy had been overtaken by events, even as they declared that the group was in support of the federal government’s plan to revive grazing reserves, grazing routes and facilitate ranching in all the states. LEADERSHIP recalls that in May this year, another herder group, Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association  (MACBAN) had supported Southern governors’ ban on open grazing, even going ahead to challenge Northern governors to follow the lead of the Southern counterparts. But speaking to LEADERSHIP yesterday, the  national secretary of the Miyetti Allah Kauta Hore, Saleh Alhassan, said the members would not recognise any anti-open grazing policy in the country. “We don’t recognise anti-grazing law. Nobody can do a...

Nigerian Governors are worst when it comes to hypocrisy. They only speak out when a particular idea does not favour them. They feed fat while their subject suffer, and most of them spend their entire tenure fighting oppositions and empowering thugs all over the state. They know what a good state should look like, but prefer to look the other way. They cease every opportunity to cast blame for their misfortune and even blame the Federal government when things are not in their favour just to make it look like they are in the side of the people. When it is time to terrorise political opponents,or anyone that stands against them,they suddenly have power to command security agents to go after the person. They order even military authority to kill,maim,arrest and torture anyone they feel is against their interest. But the moment it comes to providing security for their people,going after criminals terrorising and killing innocent people,they suddenly don't have any power to give directiv...

The Kano Hisbah Board, also known as the Islamic police has explained why it treats the rich and the poor differently while enforcing some of its rules.  A director of the Islamic police, Aliyu Kibiya gave the explanation when he featured on a Freedom Radio programme.  According to Kibiya, it is against the tenets of Islam to publicly criticise a leader. He said, “Although we call on everybody in the society to do the right thing, we make the call on a case by case basis. “It is against the tenets of Islam to mount the podium and call out leaders. There are ways to caution a leader without criticising him in public." Hisbah had recently come under intense pressure to act on some pictures of the daughter of the Emir of Bichi who recently got married to President Muhammadu Buhari’s only son. A video of the wedding party shows Nigerian singer, Mayorkun singing and some of the party attendees spotting Afro, Mohawk, or any of the hairstyles Kano State Hisbah has labelled as “unIsla...

Nigeria JAGA JAGA was done many years ago by Mr. Abdulkareem when the country was still far better, prices of food stuffs were ok, fuel price was lower, naira had some value and insecurity was minimal.   Today it's a different story entirely, price off food stuff is now same with the price of gold many years ago. Now you manage to buy the food stuff, you are told that a KG  of Gas goes for N550, kerosene N440 and fire wood is not available because the forest now belongs to fulani Bandits. How do we survive with all of this? Mothers are selling their children, there in hunger in the land which makes everyone angry because any man who is hungry automatically becomes angry. The police force and other armed force are not left out, they oppress and brutalize citizens at the slightest provocation. In summary, Nigeria is a step away from hell.

What is happening today in Nigeria is a typical example of what Stalin illustrated to his followers with the chicken. Each election year you see them around with their naira notes, rice, wrappers, onion and their well scripted movie roles such as eating roasted corn in public with the poor. After that what happens next? The people are moved to vote for them, only for them to become gods who cannot be accessed, feeding fat while the people who elected them suffer and die like church rats. They come back again when the election is close with some white elephant project and disappear again after elections, only to be seen in another election year. These people have mastered the act and it's still unclear if some of them where present when Stalin gave the lecture. This is a call to all who sell their votes, think about the torment of another for years before making such a mistake, it's time to show them we are not stupid.
