HERE IS WHY I AM AGAINST CATTLE COLONY

History is strongly against its contemplation. Please tell whoever cares to listen.
This is for those who try to make compelling case for the economic advantages of cattle colony proposals.



Can we also get the in-depth look at the political and socio-cultural implications and complications viz-a-viz the fears
WHAT IS COLONY?
The stories of Zamani Lekwot and Col. Yohanna Madaki. Cattle colony is not a new thing in Nigeria. It has existed long before independence and it is called Zango. Zoro has existed in many areas of Yoruba land. Till today, there is Sango Otta, the home country of our former president. Sango is a corruption of Zango.
There is Zangon Kataf in Zonkwa, Kaduna State. When the Fulani's came there, they did not tell the natives that they were coming to settle. They just asked for a small land by the market as shed to sell cattle.
This was granted them. The Fulani's soon gained entrance into Kafanchan town andbefore long, they turbanned one of themselves and addressed him, Emir of Jemaa.Jemaa in Hausa means, ALL. When the natives raised eye brow, they said theempire was going to be their own king, not the Kafanchan people.
During the military, the Southern Kaduna people got a local government with the name, Jemaa Local Government. Later, Zonkwa got a separate local government and the local government was named Zangon Kataf Local Government. The emir of Jemaa go.
