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.

This your argument is not tenable at all, the Ibo that have open shop for part in Katsina or south west with aso oke in Abuje, are they not rent or bought the land being used? but Fulani always fight or destroy the properties of their host? We grew up to know fulani in our Yoruba community and we are leaving peacefully, but recently, most fulani have turned themselves to agent of rape and killing, am very sure if these places you mentioned, seeing the stranger doing business in their community, conduct themselves unlike manner, they will not hesitate to send them away from their community.

Sebi if I report you now for trolling considering how many times you have mentioned me unnecessarily just this morning, your body go calm down.

Thy re eating people crops,damaging life. The law is not restricting them to move. If you can stop your animals from eating people crops. Which is their source of livelihood. U can practice open grazing. But unfortunately you can't stop. So the best way is for animals to stay in a large open shelter and be provided for. This is not discrimination law. This herders men contribute to what we are suffering now in Nigeria. Farmers don't want to farm again. Government protect farmers. Protect their sources of livelihood.

KillahPriest:
The highlighted is the criminality I'm talking about. How can you come all the way from Futa jalon to another man's State/village and collect designated grazing area or will you do same if I want to rear pigs in your country ? Buy or lease land instead of blackmailing Nigerians

What is a ranch ?

Ranching is part of the disciplinary actions.

Cattle rearing is a personal business. You can't be using Ur personal business to disturb other people.

This was how you people were hailing the vilification of Emefiele as they claimed he stole all the intervention fund for agriculture and that it was all scam. Now we are seeing unprecedented price inflation in food prices due to the stoppage of those funding.

I will be here when Nigerians start to suffer the consequences of their support for stupid government policies. It is difficult for most Nigerians to understand basic cause and effect events because they hardly read to learn but would rather propagate rumours.

Blue3k:


You're assuming the same people who can't feed themselves are going to be the ones starting the business. New players will enter the sector with money. The starving herder can sell off his cattle and move on with their life as a cow hand or something else. Nigerians already do buy Nigerian cows but you're complaining about expensive food while blocking out cheaper options.

If Nigerians can't compete that's tough luck. These ranchers better start learning to feed ther cows hay in the dry season. There's plenty of farms that can and will supply it. Open herding is coming to an end just like the age of the cowboy came to end in the 1800s. I doubt these people will be looked at as romantically as the latter.

Well I appreciate your concern for thinking of a path forward to resolve the conflict between farmers and herders. In reality these action steps will not work because the people involve are not educated enough to engage in civilized cooperation. Any little argument will lead to bloodbath. Moreso, herders just pass through these farms, they are not known and can't be reached - this is the worst part of pastoral herding. I agree with you, no one should be restricted from doing business in any part of Nigeria. Don't just move cattle around. No one move goat or chicken around. And government should not be involved in creating ranches for cattle farmers. They should provide a loan for it that individuals, any individual, can draw from to acquire land for ranches. Cattle farming is no more than a private business like selling gold in Kano or Edo market

Ade3131:


Ordinarily, there's nothing bad in allowing open grazing in any part of Nigeria but the problem you seem to fail to acknowledge is the bloodshed and conflict it has caused over the years. Failing to acknowledge these downsides implies that you place premium on the life of a cow over those who are being killed daily by the herders.

There have to be a way forward. With our current practice of free-ranging of cattles, can you say Nigeria produce more beef and milk than Kenya that practice ranching?

Yes, it's going to be expensive and might seem difficult at the beginning but trust me, it's just the ideal thing to do.

My only reservation with the bill is the clause that specified that ranches be established in the "pastoralists state of origin." I don't think that is 100% appropriate but there's always room for ammendment because what that means is that a Fulani man will need to go back to his state of origin to do his business of cattle raring, and this is not logically correct because people from other trade are allowed to live and do their business in any state of the federation sofar they're Nigerian.

malali:


Beef is a world commodity, you seem like an exposed person
I want you to compare the price of beef in USA, Brazil and China
Compare it with beef in Nigerian market.
Tell me which is cheaper and by how many percentage ?
Then tell me if you still prefer ranching to open grazing.

7upnigeria:



See, Fulani people don too do for this country. There would have been no need for all of these if they were peaceful like they used to be. Fulanis have been with us for a long time, all of a sudden they started killing farmers and abducting people for ransom.

I dont understand the motive behind your questions but be informed that nobody SHOULD BE COMFORTABLE having herdsmen wandering around their forests currently. Many lives HAVE BEEN LOST and many ARE MORE LIKELY TO STILL BE LOST if herdsmen are still legally backed to continue with their ARCHAIC METHOD of raising cattles, Fulanis have messed themselves up in southern Nigeria. Matter of fact, theyve become point and kill object in some parts of the southeast.

I prefer ranching because I get more beef at a cheaper price than you relative to income. Ranchers are more productive 💪 compared to Nigerian herders. There's less conflict. I don't see how Nigerians are better off. The cost of living is cheaper in Nigeria in general but income is much lower.
