Hahaha na we say we want ranches. Now politicians don find another means of looting. All the aboki governors go begin ask for their own money for ranches.

This is absurd. If that is the case then hovernment should grant the same to all farmers of different activities.
Ranching should be a private thing and not government.
We should be careful of what we are putting out.
