Comedian Ali Baba come for Fulani Herdsmen Grazing grounds

Entertainment guru and Comedian Ali Baba make his voice heard about the NASS case for Fulani Herdsmen Grazing ground. He shared his opinion on this via his Instagram wall, read it below....

"One undisputed fact in life, well so far, is that you can never have any finger print that match. Even Siamese Twins have different prints. That means no two people are the same. We all grow up to learn to confirm, change, understand and then learn to tolerate when all fails. It is a very common thing for people to want to mound us into the shape the consider just ok. Many of us do not like some people because they are different from us. 

The problem is not in the difference. The problem is in trying to make me be who you are or trying to make me accept who you are without considering where I am coming from, where I am and where I am going. The Fulani Herdsmen is a case in point. You have a need. Which is find grazing grounds for your cattle. I have a need as well. 

Which is finding food and sustenance for my family. However you think your castles have overriding precedence over my children, my family and I. So there are no options. I either let you to graze all over my livelihood or you go craze and destroy my livelihood and even kill all those I am working to keep alive. Then I am beginning to hear that I should find away to tolerate your excesses because you, in the process of looking for your livelihood, have run out of grazing land where you came from. 

I should now vacate my own territory where I am also trying to earn a living to allow you earn a living. And this matter is so serious that NASS of the land wants to tolerate the excesses by giving them a FED approval that will mark out some areas for grazing. 

Let me ask one stupid question, when there was oil spillage and the people in the Niger Delta did not have a place to fish for a living, did NASS move a motion to creating fishing waters for the fishermen? Or are Herdsmen better than Fishermen? Oh let me ask another question, when these same fishermen could not fish or farm, did NASS move to secure their lives? Or are some people just more important than others? Much as we all have been brought up to tolerate one another, let us keep it that way. 

In my community, #agbarhaotor, in Ughelli North, Delta State, there are over 40 flow stations scattered... In short, NO to grazing grounds. And that is that!"
