You were impressed by $2500 accommodation.
I assumed you were financially challenged.
You make good points

malali:


Do you know how much will feed a cow for 2 years in a ranch ??

Compare it to a nomadic free grazing cow ??

malali:


Ranching i capital intensive,people are complaining of chicken feed talkess of cow feed. I thought you said you were a farmer. You dont know to feed a cow to market prices is expensive in a ranch ? Do you know, grass doesnt grow in the north in dry season ?
I am devastated with deaths from the herders causing trouble, however not all the herders are troublemakers.
I am suggesting structured designated grazing routes.

goaldynboy:


Nonsense!!

Cow is not an essential commodity! If cow becomes too expensive, there are thousands of alternatives!!

They have already exposed themselves. I don't know why Fulanis can't just abandon this archaic lifestyle and struggle to better their lives and not seek to dominate others.

Removing the Beef subsidy

Potential Impact on Beef Prices
Implementing large-scale ranching could significantly increase the cost of beef due to the high expenses associated with establishing and maintaining ranches.These would make Nigerian cows too expensive for purchase as cows from Niger and other neighboring countries practicing open grazing will be cheaper in the open market.

Suggested Practical Solutions
Designated Grazing Areas: Allocate specific areas for grazing to prevent clashes while allowing pastoralists to continue traditional herding methods.
Conflict Resolution Mechanisms: Establish local committees to mediate disputes between farmers and herders, promoting peaceful coexistence.
Cooperative Farming: Encourage farmers and herders to form cooperatives, sharing resources and knowledge to improve productivity and harmony.
Community-Based Animal Health Services: Provide mobile veterinary services to support herders, reducing the need for long migrations and potential conflicts.
These solutions aim to be cost-effective and fair to both cattle herders and farmers, ensuring sustainable practices and reducing conflicts.

The Southeast is allowed to ply their trade and open spare parts shop in katsina
The Southwest is holding Aso-rock Office in Abuja
The South-south is FCT Minister in Abuja
Why cant the northern Fulani man feed his cow in the south ?
Lets be tolerant and restructure designated cattle grazing areas in every state to accommodate everybody.

ggood:
They should ban all cows from moving from state to State , my annoyance is that where are all the southern and middle belt senator State like Kogi,Ekiti, Ondo, Oyo, Enugu, Nasarawa, Delta, Edo, Plateau they all kept mute they didn't say anything in the plenary



Watch the video here how Akpabio embarrassed northern senators on open grazing

Southerners dont need Fulani cows,we can rear our own cows for meat,sausages,milk,minced meat,youghurt.Fulanis dont have a monopoly for beef production.Tell your Malo brother to keep the cows for Northern consumption in North west and keep them grazing in Ganduje's ranches in Kano.
Yorubas,Kanuris,Igala,Igbos ,ijaws and other tribes can rear their own cows.

safarifarms:

I agree that not all herders are troublesome, but the numerous troublesome ones are causing enough havoc. There are drought resistant grasses that can be planted and with the help of a little irrigation they'll do well. I have one of such planted on my farm for feeding my goats so that my goats wont eat other farmers crops. We must not insist on an option that puts other farmers at risk just to satisfy herders. Instead of advocating for my goats to be roaming around and be nuisance to others I've spent extra money to cater for my goats. Herders should do same. They should stop using the cost of production to force others to suffer and cry.

Human life is more precious than beef! Humans can live without cows' meat!

I wasn't impressed by a student whose Nigerian Governor father was paying £2,500 for monthly accommodation here in Cambridge and splashing money around, when UK's best brains attending University of Cambridge, intellectually hot young professionals working at the Silicon Fen here in Cambridge, which is Europe's biggest tech and innovation hub are not keen on paying such despite being part of the brains churning out innovations, we use.

Ikpunekenwa:


If you people can't buy or lease land like others, then you people should Bleep off with your cows, we can import the cow meat, or source other proteins.

States said they don't want cows destroying their farms and you are here saying trash, why can't you guys do what other citizens are doing.

Anyway, I don't need to talk too Much.

You describe it like you were there ?
Were you the farmer or the fulani man ?
Or you were just a bystander watching the rape going on ?

I don't think anybody said anything about not allowing herdsmen rear their cattles but it should not be at the detriment of other people's business. Using cows to destroy farm produce, causing and creating nsisabce on our roads. Igbos or other people who do businesses in the North pay for shops and do not use their businesses to destroy other people's means of livelihood.. These Fulani /Hausa cattle owners and rearets, their own done too much sef.. Are cows part of the citizens of Nigeria?? Those are personal businesses especially...

malali:


Thank you for being civil with your comment. Nowadays we have to thank people for civility,as its rare on Nairaland. I understand the concerns raised. I do not have the answer,i think we have the worlds cheapest beef because of open grazing. Taking away cheap beef could have a lot of consequences down the line. Ranching is expensive. A lot of people throwing the word around. Grazing routes could be established. Nigeria is big enough, to accommodate farmers a ranchers. Feeding a cow in a ranch for 2 years before selling will make beef prices next to Gold in Nigeria. Trust me. Look at beef prices in USA, Brazil and China. We cannot pay those prices with our minimum wage.

Grass doesnt grow in more than half of Nigeria in the dry season.
Read your geography sir.
Its a desert during the dry season
