A strange thing is going on in our land while we all watch
helplessly. How come Nigeria
within a very short time has turned into a nation of absurdities? Can you
imagine the level of steps Nigeria
has taken aback? Miyetti Allah Cattle herders warning the President of one of
the arms of government to resign or they will force him to resign. What
impunity! What gut! My heart bleeds with tears for this country. Where is this
country heading to?

Nigeria: Cattle Breeders' Audacity And The Rest Of Us!
By Ifeanyi Izeze
Nigeria ? Is it not curious that
this group seems to be reiterating the Saraki “must be removed by force”
earlier vows by Adams Oshiomole and Omo-Agege? How long can we continue like
this as a nation?

Nigeria: Another Paradise Just Lost
By Abraham Ogbodo
I apologize for the rude exit. When one friend called to find out
what happened to Backlash, I told
him the bitter truth. I was tired of pushing positions that had not drawn down
on President Buhari’s nepotism, tyranny and cluelessness on one hand and
enhanced his statesmanship, democratic credentials and capacity to govern well
on the other hand.
*President Buhari |
My last appearance on this page was on April
15. Since then, the degeneration in national life has continued unabated. In
fact, the bizarre has become the norm. Yet, the purpose today after the break
is not to give any good news. It is to reinforce the futility in expecting a
reversal in the narrative of negativity. I apologize for increasing your
worries.

Nigeria: Toxic Request On Anti-Grazing Bill
By Adewale Kupoluyi
Benue , Ekiti and Taraba states.
Abia is working on the passage of the bill. In Ekiti, the law prohibits open
grazing between the hours of 6pm and 7am. In Benue ,
it enforces an absolute ban on open-grazing throughout the state and in Taraba,
there is a proviso that it would be implemented gradually after massive
enlightenment and awareness campaigns across the state. The legislation further
prohibits movement of livestock and requires livestock owners to ranch them by
criminalising free grazing and movement of livestock by foot. The implication
of this is that the law seeks to end the age-long practice of nomadism,
particularly, among the Fulani herders, whose activities in recent times have
heightened violent clashes with farmers in many states across the country.
Many Nigerians were
greatly disturbed by the hasty decision suggesting that anti-grazing bills, as
operational in some states in the country, should be repealed. The Minister of
Defence, Brig-Gen. Mansur Dan-Ali (rtd), had spear-headed the abrogation move, arguing
that laws enacted by states prohibiting open grazing should be suspended.
Dan-Ali had called for the suspension of the implementation of anti-grazing
laws in some states while instead negotiating safe routes for herders. For the
Defence Minister, suspension of the law would reduce tension and restore peace
in the country.
The Anti-Open Grazing Law seeks to outlaw open
rearing and grazing of livestock and provides for the establishment of ranches
and livestock administration, wherever the law is operational. It is currently
being used in
