Nigeria, Behold your New Colonial Masters: The FULANI Cattlemen. Congratulations! You really have progressed!! Congratulations!!! You have Truly Arrived in the 21st Century Modern World!–Rev. Dr. Kingsley Obi Jon-Ubabuco
New York[RR]Abuja–Rev. Dr. Kingsley Obi Jon-Ubabuco reacting to ongoing killings by Fulani-herdsmen and its life patron, Mohammadu Buhari said congratulations to what he called “Nigerians”. His words: “Nigeria was forcefully made a British Colony by Amalgamation in 1914. The people had no choice in the matter. It was by British Force.
Igbo leaders of thought convened in Abuja to deliberate upon recent developments in the country and came up with a press release which is published in full at www.lnc-usa.org. Three issues of great importance and extreme urgency were focused upon by the Igbo Leaders of Thought namely: the “Cattle Colony” executive order given by President Buhari, ethnic cleansing of indigenous peoples of Benue and elsewhere in the Middle Belt and the need for urgent geopolitical Restructuring of Nigeria. The leadership caucus rejected the so-called Cattle Colony project proposed for implementation in all states of Nigeria by the Buhari administration. They explained that Alaigbo is already densely populated and there is no space to spare for commitment to establishment of Cattle Colony.
The rumor that the Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha, has already given land to Abuja for establishment of a Cattle Colony compelled a dire warning from the Igbo Leaders of Thought. The group cautioned that “the governors, as the chief executives of the states, hold the land in their states in trust for the people……… Governors in Igboland are, therefore, advised in their own interest not to give out any land in Alaigbo for Cattle Colony as our people will vehemently resist it”. The thought leaders noted that many other countries that produce larger quantities and better quality of beef and dairy products, such as Brazil, Argentina, US, Australia, China etc raise their livestock in ranches. Open grazing of cattle is anachronistic and inefficient way of engaging in animal husbandry in today’s 21st Century world.
To eliminate all doubt, the Igbo leaders of thought reasserted their commitment to immediate geopolitical restructuring of the country “involving the devolution of powers to the states is imperative for the peaceful co-existence of the different ethnic nationalities that were bundled together by the imperial overlord without their consent”. The Yoruba Ibadan summit of September 7, 2017 had not only opted for restructuring, but also came out strongly to reject the 1999 Constitution as basis for governance in the country, going forward. Specifically, the Ibadan communique warned that the scheduled 2019 general elections shall not be allowed in Yoruba land unless the geopolitical restructuring of Nigeria is completed beforehand. The constituents of the Lower Niger, of which Alaigbo is an integral part, have also predicated the conduct of 2019 general elections on completion of Restructuring without which no further elections shall be permitted in the entire territory.
