This is wrong. I believe that they should allow them to roam in other states but it should be under supervision so that it won't disturb public peace. If this bill should go on, It will lead to more hatred because those that own business outside their own states won't feel safe anymore 1 Like |

mamaafrik: Exactly! Though cattle can be raised in any Nigerian state provided they are in Ranches and do not disturb any other citizens... If grasses don't grow in the North during the dry season... quite simple! Let government assist the cattle farmers by artificially wetting the grazing areas all year round and that's it...they have grasses all year round...all the Saudi Arabian desert areas are now turning orchards with artificial wetting... Also as long as they continue with the local breed of cows as they do now...raising will still be cheap as the local cattle aren't susceptible to diseases and don't require much extra attention unlike the foreign 'Agric' ones... It is well! |

Disaster is ahead. The main problem here is that the Fulani herdmen are taking advantage of climatic change and the bastardized world ecology. If these issues are not addressed, wahala. More people will die. An observation done by ecology experts in ranches in the US, they found that cattles reluctantly eat grasses grown with fertilizer. They prefer naturally grown grasses and legumes. They noticed that farmers don't apply fertilizer and chemicals to boundaries of their farm, and those animals always run for any little grasses along the boundaries of farms. When they have pulled out those ones, they reluctantly start eating green grasses grown with fertilizers we thought are the best. Then, they grew grasses without fertilizer and chemicals, and the animals love it. Vet doctors were far away from them. Their poo were nourishing and kept making the grasses grow organically. So, what is the lesson learned here? If FG gets someone who understands how to grow grasses on barren land (our reserved are barren land now), cattle will pin herdmen in the reserved area. Na herdmen want to move them around when they love the grasses? when those animals show that they are not that interested in the grasses grown with fertilizer, those herdmen move them out. And what do you expect? They feast on natural grasses. But we don't have much natural grasses around. So, what next do you think farmers don't use fertilisers to grow? Cassava. Lol. This is why they invade cassava farms seriously. Also, many still don't use enough fertilizers on corn. So, they still invade that, too. But take note... they invade cassava farms more. Do they really love cassava leaves like that? Of course not. If you give them natural grasses, they will never enter cassava farms cos they naturally prefer grasses. While this bill is the right way to go, FG needs to find experts who understand growing grasses naturally. And so far, I think over 99% consultants can not do it. Most use chemicals and ferilizers. They can only make hay and fodder for livestock. especially when fermented, those animals love it. But how much of that can they do? Cattle rearing is all about being a grasses farmer. People think it is all about livestock. Nope. It is not about giving them antibiotics and Vaccines. It is about growing grasses for them. When you grow natural grasses for them, they don't need antibiotics and Vaccines. Diseases will be far away from them. Here is my point. The real cattle farmer is not the one who takes care of the animals but the one who grows grasses for them. The one who grows their food is the real farmer. He can easily do away with the modern days stress involved in it. The modern days' stress and management are what we created for ourselves. Sustainability, ecological, and environmental knowledge is the way forward. Sambisa forests need to be made a natural grassland for cattle....believe me...herdmen will be locked there permanently. Their business of carrying gun is finished. Na dem wan move 250kg cow from his food? They wan die? Lol. This case is very simple to address. But FG will not get it right. Lol. I am in my home watching the inefficiency of looters in Abuja. Lol. Governors, too, are clueless about this issue. I don't think I have seen any Nigerian agricultural minister who understands it. And moreover, their friend Dangote is the father of fertilizer in Nigeria. Lol. How will they get it right? They will NEVER. God bless Naija! Amen. |

Whalis: Ranching is not affordable by the average fulani herder. Herding in Nigeria is getting deeper into the south as climate change is "desertifying" north more. If humans cannot even feed due to inflationary government policies Realistically, how do you expect the person that has eaten to afford to feed a cow in a ranch ? |

Before I continue let me say .. northern nigeria is dragging us backwards.... A female friend of mine from Uganda, sent pictures of their rance, though its not that big ranch just medium and privately owned.. I asked myself, if these ppl can rearer cattle in just small space, why herdsmen can't do the same and save the stress of walking from north to south . Attachment is the cow they rear, just compare it with the one herdsmen rearer, this is private business, no government fund , they just do their business with their own money .. just check it out and tell me if these people are not just doing this intentionally

malali:This is sad coming from a Nigerian We want beef in the south not cow. What is wrong in growing your own grass up north for grazing? This is what the west farmers do How does the selling of spare parts in the North affect the lives of ordinary Northerners?(Pathetic ) If this bills goes ahead, mayB southerners would learn to farm Cows, Goats and ram. DO not forget,People are allowed to import cows from Niger republic no stress. |

malali: Rubbish, is cow meat the only meat available in Nigeria? What happens to goat meat, chicken etc? Killing farmers to feed their own cows makes yhu happy, huh? Let everybody take responsibility for their own private business. All these nonsense excuses of Easterners having motoparts shops anywhere in the country is becoming stale. Have yhu ever seen an Igbo man fighting with a landlord, demanding for a shop to display his wares by force? Have yhu ever heard any landlord get killed for not giving out his shop to an Igbo for business?
