I must start by confessing I behaved foolishly yesterday. But before I go ahead, here is the background to my story: Since photos and videos of Nigerian herders doing very abominable things with cows surfaced online, I have hated eating cow meat (beef) with a deep passion. What made it worse was the explanation by FFK that those abominable acts were ritualism which the herders use to possess the cows with demons which in turn would possess those who eat the meat. He said it is the reason the Fulani themselves do not eat beef. Then, he said that the demon they project into the cows repossess those who eat their meat, and he says one of the effects of this demon-possession is that no matter what the herder tribe does, Nigerians feel helpless. To use his word, he said that the demons make Nigerians docile in the hands of the herder tribe.

In as much as I tried not to believe in the implied superstition of what FFK said, I saw some express truth in his analysis. "Why are Nigerians so docile in the hands of the herder tribe and very recalcitrant with other people?" I asked. For example, the herder tribe was still sacking the Tivs from their homes en masse in 2015 when the Tivs voted a member of the herder tribe en masse to become their president. See how people all support the proscription of IPOB but so weak in condemning herdsmen's killing spree even online! (just watch the speed with which the mods will ban this post even when I have mentioned no tribe by name, for example). These things came to my mind when FFK talked of the ritual sexual acts with cows as a means of projecting docility demons into those who consume the meat.

Now, here is my story: Since seeing those abominable photos and reading FFK's write-up, I have naturally hated to eat beef with a very deep passion. But yesterday, I had a reason to eat at a restaurant. I most WEAKLY allowed the woman to serve me rice with beef in it when she said she didn't have fish. I took the meal home in a take-away pack. But when I got home and tried to eat the meat, I started remembering those pictures I saw of herders having sex with cows. Then, I remembered FFK's words. Then, again, I realized the high possibility that the meat I was about to eat may have come from a female cow that a herder had had sex with.

With this, the meat started appearing to me like human meat. But, I was still feeling that I have to eat it since I had used my money to buy it - to avoid wasting the money. Then, something happened. I realized how many real HUMAN BEINGS that had been killed because of the cow whose meat I was about to eat, and the meat really looked like human meat to me. So, I had no option than to throw it away. And by throwing it away, I have conquered every weakness that relates to eating meat. As I am talking to you, I can swear an oath that I will never ever eat beef in Nigeria until it stops being the exclusive reserve of these killers and bestiality committers.

May be my story is not as spectacular as you had expected. But, why I have told it is so that those whom the docility demons are still holding captive as I was, should see reasons to break away from their evil stranglehold. Let us stop eating the flesh for which reason our people are being killed. It is like eating the flesh of our people. At least, let it be our most powerful way to send the message to the killers and the International community that we are truly against these killings. Otherwise, we are all killers with the killers - just by patronizing them and giving them reasons to keep killing us and depleting/deleting us gradually.

Trust me! You are not hungry or you did not season, spice or cook the beef very well.

If you did all this, you won't have composed the long gibberish up there.

Did you try using same meat for pepper soup or Suya?

My brother, start eating fish if you don't know how to cook beef.
