Abdulaziz Nyako: I'm A Herdsman & A Senator, You Must Ban Cow Meat First Before by Marine54(m): 10:57am On Jan 29, 2021
I am a Commander (rtd) of the Nigerian Navy. I am a Senator. I am a Fulani herdsman. I am, therefore, many things in one person.

I was given a cow for every milestone in my life. I was given cows at birth. I was given cows when I completed my Quranic studies. I was given cows when I got married. My father gave me a herd of cows about 20 years ago when I became a ‘full adult’ in his eyes.

I, therefore, became a herdsman by virtue of inheritance. The cows in my family have been with us for over a century. We know the lineage of each cow. Some of the cows recognise us. I have never killed any person. The narrative that I am a killer is, therefore, wrong.

I have been told recently to leave Oyo and Ondo States by people who eat ‘kpomo, shaki, round-about, bokotor and beef. They are being supported by people who wear leather belts and shoes along with those that use anti-aging creams, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics etc. All by-products of cows.

The irony is that the persons who do not want to see herdsmen in their states did not start by first banning ‘kpomo, shaki, round-about, bokotor’ and beef from their cooking pots at home. They want to eat these things and drink milk/milk products yet they do not want to see cows. They want to eat their cake and have it. This could only happen where there is a special arrangement for manna from heaven – I doubt if this is possible since I doubt if these people are as righteous as the Prophet Moses (Upon Whom be Peace)!

The more serious issue before us is how do we secure our animal protein food security needs as a country that is moving towards a projected population of 400 million by 2050! This is what I want to hear politicians and leaders talking about and not ethnicity and religion. I want to hear them talking about how herdsmen and farmers could coexist for their mutual benefit and ours.

Today, we no longer have the habitat to sustain wildlife that used to be consumed by some as bushmeat. We are dependent on imported fish and poultry. We are, however, able to provide cheap beef for ourselves as a nation because of herdsmen like me. People like me, therefore, are an important component of Nigeria’s food security architecture.

Now the question is this: Do I like the current open grazing/pastoral grazing undertaken by herdsmen? My answer is NO. Do I think that we should address this challenge? My answer is YES. Could there be a solution? My answer is YES and I have humbly proffered some possible solutions in some of my previous posts.

Now… enter the politicians. (The most unpatriotic Nigerians that I have ever come across!) — unfortunately I have found myself in their midst! Coming from a military background it has been tough for me!

Do I think that the negative utterances by certain politicians are useful? My answer is NO. How does telling any ethnic group to leave a locality whether in Owerri (Imo), Gusau, Ilejemeje (Ekiti) Aramoko (Ekiti), Ogoni (Rivers), Kano, Gboko ( Benue) help any Nigerian at a time like this? This could only be done for their selfish political gains and not for the good of their people and Nigeria at large.

People like these foment crises for all and then shift the blame to security agencies. They never solve our problems through sound leadership but ride on our backs (sentiments) to attain their selfish political goals. This is wrong and it should not be condoned by any person.

The true test is that they should tell us how we would eat ‘kpomo, shaki, round-about, bokotor’ and beef without cows? Cows that are herded by herdsmen like me! A simple question requiring a simple answer! They should SHUT UP if they have no answer!

As Nigerians, we are grappling with a lot of welfare and security issues. We do not need you Mr Politician to add fuel to the embers of insecurity that we are managing. We have enough on our plates!

Sen. Abdulaziz Nyako represented Adamawa Central Senatorial District in the 8th Assembly

How did this dumbass fool become senator? Anyway in Nigeria, anybody can become a senator. The problem is not herdsmen but the criminal elements among the herdsmen.

Okay.

I pronounce Cows banned in Southern Nigeria. Southerners should go and get their meat from another source.

I pronounce Herdsmen banned in Southern Nigeria

Coming from a senator torrr
You can only imagine how he got that position.



Well,not only Fulani's rear cows in Nigeria.
I mean,they were not even existing before but, Nigerians managed to eat meat.

Give them a village of their own if possible.
Keep them in one place.

Take them off the street and people's farms.


Cause I eat meat doesn't mean I should allow the cows kill me.




You can only but just wonder how this set of people get elected into offices.

Senator indeed.




Spits.

It is better to keep quiet and let people think you are an idiot, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. In Europe, the US, South America, there is abundance of beef, milk and dairy products, yet you dont see cows on the road. They are all reared in ranches and farms. These nations export beef products all over the world.
The Fulani refuse to develop. In 2021 they still want to be using the same nomadic practices of 1821, regardless of the associated problems. This senator shows the regressive mindset that holds society back from developing.

Banning marauding herdsmen equals banning cow meat?

What is this illiterate saying.. are fulanis the only people to rear cows in the world??

You are destroying homes, farms, families and people's source of livelihood all in the name of feeding cows and you expect everyone to keep quiet? Nah this nonsense can't continue.

Gradually we are seeing the faces of those supporting the Fulani marauders in Nigeria. Government should now identify the enemies of state, if it serious but I doubt it is.

Herdsman Senator.

These are the people that own the multitude of cows disturbing the whole country.

These are the people that likely arm the herders.

finding solutions like building villages for them is all an exercise in futility. You cannot change the nomadic lifestyle of an average fulani rustler.

Being educated doesn't mean you have sense, who told you we can't get kpomo, shaking, and round about, instead of you to condemn the act you're displaying your cow attitude.

Type of you make people call Buhari dullar because he came from Foolanist race.

No one is begging you for cows. you sell to us because you need money.

You see how useless southern leaders are? While they are busy calling for peace, their northern counterparts are giving ultimatum.
