Big Brother Cow Country by raybaba97(m): 8:22pm On Jul 15, 2019 |
This guy wants to destroy me with laughter.... The presidency and Nigerians would continue to lock horns over Nigerians refusal to surrender their lands to cattle and their Fulani owners. “Moo” (the sound of the cow), perhaps represents a great idea in cow lingo on how to solve the impasse, but only the cows (and one seriously suspects our dear, cow-owning and cow-loving Federal Government) know it. Lately the Aso Rock has been involved in a long drawn fight to enforce cow rights on Nigerians – even if cow rights violate human rights. The underside of the cow rights fight is that President Buhari’s kith and kin may benefit from all these because they lord over the cows. We have already passed Phase Three of the reality show “Big Cow Brother Nigeria” and we are not yet in the middle of the drama. This is still the prologue. In Phase One, the President told us that the reason Fulani herdsmen were on rampage was because state governments had refused to surrender state lands to herdsmen and give them cattle routes. If this were done, all the economic problems of Nigeria would be solved and cows and Fulanis would be indebted to all Nigerians forever. What is more? Cow would produce more milk and Nigerians would have a bowl of milk in every house. Just for parcels of land. The killing at Agatu in Benue State occasioned the suggestion. One would have expected the Government to be outraged by the killings and bring the killers to book. But if you had such a fanciful expectation then you must be anti-government. Those who were killed, contrived to kill cows for destroying their lands, and, as you were made to understand in the book “Animal Farm” all animals (man, mosquitoes and cows) are equal… some like cows are more equal than others. Kill a cow for eating your corn in your farm and you deserve to die by firing squad at the hands of herdsmen. The military even lent credence to this by maintaining that they intend to go after cattle rustlers – not the muderous herdsmen. Nigerians did not cotton to the idea of creating routes for cattle, when we do not even have enough roads for human beings. They rejected the idea. Good, old Buhari is not one to give up on an idea. Next came the idea of Cattle Colonies. According to how the Federal Government “moo-ed” the idea, every state should allocate land to the Fulanis to run their cattle. The rights of cattle over human beings ought to be respected. That there are several other business which do not have colonies created for them is because there have no history. For too long human beings have been milking cows, but now the cows have a messiah, who has come to help the cows milk human beings in Nigeria. Whether this would lead to cow revolution, is being studied in Aso Rock. Just when we thought that the matter had been rested, Abuja dusted up the books and came up with the idea of Ruga Settlement. A scheme, which hoped to grab land bigger than most local government areas in Nigeria, for Fulanis to rear their cattle. The Presidency packaged it as the best thing to be thought of in Africa after the invention of akpu and ewedu soup. While they were busy concocting this scheme, the herdsmen were on rampage killing. It is a mere coincidence that every new scheme is usually preceded by a spate of killings by herdsmen. It is wrong to believe that there is a symbiotic relationship between the herdsmen and the Federal Government. The timing may suggest so but I have it on good authority from a reliable security agent (a boy scout, aged eleven, in my neighborhood) that the Federal Government can never support the killing of Nigerians by herdsmen because it has no coffin-making industry. He maintains that the reason the herdsmen are not usually arrested and tried was not because the Federal Government supported what they were doing, but because arresting them and convicting them may lead to their cows being stranded and not cared for. So being the most cow-friendly government in the history of the world, the Government would always lookout for cow interest, and this state of affairs, Boys Scouts admire because one of their mottos is “A scout is a friend to all animals.” But the dust raised by the Ruga idea rose to heights of popular discontent and dwarfed the “moo’s” of the cattle. The Federal Government announced its suspension but with the caveat that it would come up with something else. That will be the Phase Four of the “Big Cow Brother Nigeria” reality show. The herdsmen would of course keep the discussion on with spates of killing here and there. They would still drive their cows into farmlands and destroy farmlands. They are the lords of the manor and if you do not like it, the borders are open. In this cow country, the powers that be would still find a way to let Nigerians know that no Nigerian is worth more than a cow. As someone who drinks milk everyday I support the creation of cattle routes, cattle colonies and Ruga Settlement in Aso Rock between now and 2023, and the dismantling of them when Buhari leaves office.

Buhari's government is a government of the Fulani and their cows, by the Fulani and their cows, for the Fulani and their cows 1 Like |

Buhari has turned Nigeria to a cow republic. This is evidenced in his silence over issues bordering on Fulani diabolic activities nation wide |
