Grazing reserves: FG will not force any state to provide land

Grazing reserves: FG will not force any state to provide land – Audu Ogbeh

Following the controversy surrounding Federal Government’s bid to create grazing reserves for cattle herders in states of the Federation, the Minister of Agriculture, Chief Audu Ogbeh yesterday wondered why people act “as if they do not eat meat?”

He, however, told journalists at the Palace of the Lamido Adamawa during a working visit to Adamawa state that the Federal Government has resolved to shelve the issue of grazing fields and has opted for ranches.

He stressed that those states that do not want grazing zones will not be forced. The Minister was quick to ask, “why do people do this as if they do not eat meat?”

“The business of government is to find equitable solution to the problem as such the government will not force any state to provide grazing land”, he declared
Ogbeh maintained the only way to go is to develop ranches, insisting that nobody was supposed to carry weapon or kill anybody.

Wondering why a country with 45 million hectres of land cannot accommodate 20 million cows, he advised Nigerians not to see religion and ethnicity in every aspect of life.

A foodstuff seller, Chidi Ibiam, 27, was yesterday sentenced to 21 years imprisonment by an Ikeja High Court for defiling a six-year-old girl. They worship in the same church. The presiding judge, Justice Sedoten Ogunsanya, found the convict who lives at Baruwa, Ipaja area of Lagos, guilty of one-count charge of defilement. The judge held: “I have noted all the relevant facts of this case before me.

How is the price of Bitcoin calculated?

How is Bitcoin calculated? I know a lot of people have this question on their mind. Well, here's a good explanation as provided by Luno.com Many people wonder how the price of Bitcoin is calculated, but it’s important to remember that it works no different than it would with other currencies or objects. Let’s first look at how the prices of most things are derived - we can use oranges as an example. What is the price of an orange? Well, it depends. As a starting point, one would derive the price of an orange based on two things: how much someone is trying to sell it for, and how much another person is trying to buy it for. If John wants to sell it for USD2.50 and Sarah is only prepared to pay USD2.00, there is no deal. But if they agree on a price that works for both, let’s say USD2.25, then the transaction will happen. If it’s winter there might be more people wanting to buy oranges, so the price will go up. Or if there is a drought the supply of oranges will become less,

Bethesda's E3 2015 kick off: Fallout 4 release date, Doom, Dishonored 2, and more

At first there was nothing. Empty space. The soft quiet of the void. Darkness. An idea, floating in a barren wasteland. And then, a lone voice—loud and getting steadily louder. " Faaaaaaallllllllllooooouuuutttttt ." Thusly did E3 2015 come into being. And let me extend a warm welcome. Sunday night, Bethesda held its first ever E3 press conference at the historic Dolby Theater in Los Angeles (the same venue as The Oscars). Thanks to rumors, leaks, and Bethesda's own marketing, we already knew almost every announcement ahead of time, but…damn. That Fallout 4 trailer. In case you were busy sleeping, eating, or otherwise going about life as a normal, well-adjusted human, here's what you missed. Bethesda wasted no time, kicking off with Doom (4) . And oh hey— Doom exists. Like, we actually saw a hefty amount of in-game footage, and then a big ol' Doom logo splashed onscreen and somewhere in the ether John Romero's hair probably tingled a bit.
