Warning: This writeup is not to defend or castigate anyone but to let Government and concerned individuals know the kind of evil some of us are inflicting on ourselves and keep blaming others.

About 75% of entire cows roaming the streets and villages in Southern Nigeria are own by Southerners. Fulani are just employees of these people. Most time, they are the ones providing various weapons for these herders to protect their businesses against cattle thieves. We all know what would happened when you allow illiterate humans to have access to dangerous weapons like AK- 47, they will simply used them irrationally, this is a situtaion betwèen herders and farmers.

Quite a numbers of political class, Elites, wealthy people, bankers, civil servants, artisans, etc are doing this business.

If you're among these people and still blaming Fulani for the incessant killings in your region, you are not but unfortunate saboteurs coward. You are directly/indirectly encouraged this obsolete nomadic lifestyle of Fulani, which by now should've developed into modern ranching system.

Until Government fishout these set of people and force them to buy land for their cattle business, i dont see how possible this open grazing ban would be enforce or materialized. Besides, this same people especially the political class will sabotage the effort of genuine authority.

Though we cant rule out the aggressive ones migrated from neighbouring countries or Jihadis minded ones, a typical Fulani we know when we were young dont carry AK- 47 or any destructive weapons, they held just their normal sword like cutlass. Problem started especially in the south when wealthy people start investing in this business and needed to protect their investments against the emergencies of cattles thieves. Mere looking at herders and their lifestyles in the bush, one would be wondering how these illiterates unsophisticated people have access to these modern weapons. Your guess is good as mine.

Open grazing system is evil, outdated and dangerous for the agricultural business and food security in Nigeria. If people are not allow to farm this season, our current lamentations about the hike in food price would be a child play next year.

You cant keep blaming governments and Fulanis when you are the ones employing them to cause havoc in your land. Let put our hands together to fishout these people, if you see anyone doing this business, please report him/her to an appropriate authority.

Are you stupid? Take down this nonsense!

Read the writeup again.

My annoyance is directed at some Southerners doing cattle business and employed Fulani herders to manage them.

Already modified a part that may be causing confusion and misunderstanding to the typical Nairalanders.

Arkmanbuddy:
It seems there's something wrong with your brain. You think like a cow! Has Miyetti Allah ever come out to say they're not the owners of the cows they herd in the South? Have they asked for help from their 'employers' to save them from rampaging cattle rustlers? Ogbeni, think before you type o...body dey hot!

Most of you guys are just too emotional or simply lacks the ability to comprehend a simple but straightforward writeup. Some of you will just seat down at comfort corner of your rooms arguing blindly on the basis of what is threading.

I did not just came up with this withiout evidence. Go to any Fulani settlement in the south and ask them their ogas(owners of the cattles). You will be amazed by the numbers of Southerners that kept cattle with them for business. I've been introduced to this businrss more than 5 different occasions, so i know what i was saying.

The purpose of this thread is to alert the public of the fact that some Southerners cattles investors are directly or indirectly sabotaging the effort of open grazing prohibition.

Some politicians or business men (
both southerners and northerners) own cows. It is partnership between herdsmen and owners. In a herd, some cows are owned by herders , others by politicians/business men.

Some fulani herdsmen live in the town with their families. Theses ones rarely cause problems.

There are also nomadic herdsmen who normally camp temporarily in the forests.

These are foreign fulani herdsmen e.g. bororos. They are also nomadic.

The problem is fulani protect themselves and you cannot separate criminals from innocent ones.

The way forward is to ban open grazing. All ranches should be registered with all cows have identification numbers.

All abbatoirs and cattle markets can only take cows that have identification numbers. Nobody should kill cows without inspection by veterinary personnels.

About 75% of entire cows roaming the streets and villages in Southern Nigeria are own by Southerners. Fulani are just employees of these people.
