This is not acceptable. The FG should look into a way of restricting the herdmen to prevent them causing more nuisance to people in their community. Are they also grazing in the city?

Why can't these herdsmen know that cattles are reared in the ranches /bushes, not inside the main city?

because the herders are probably looking for a way to massacre and waste innocent souls, they're not actually looking for green grass to feed the animals...got it?

Please let us use our common sense, though not common. Cattle rustling came into force with the emergence of boko haram for quick source of cash, though one cannot rule out the cooperation of few disgruntled among them (Fulani) , sometimes highway robbery are carried out by some who disguise as Fulani, who don't even know how to speak Fulani. Do you think the sponsors of boko haram and those who predicted the break up of the country have left us alone, and u think buhari romance with China is not a factor too. What I do know from childhood is that Fulani can allow their cows to feed on farmland. But not to the extent of owning machine guns that the military do not dare. You to visit where the rustlers are to know that they are more than just Fulani

Just imagine the indiscriminate movement of these fOOLanis and their cattle!!!! Abeg how that place take resemble grazing land?? Later they would start making KEBABS out of those poor innocent aborigines, instead of using their cows!!!
Igbos are quite lenient, I bet Fulanis won't try their rubbish with the Igalas in Kogi.
Re: Fulani Herdsmen In Awka Town by Nobody: 9:20pm On Apr 29, 2016
[size=28pt]The only way for Fulani menance to stop is for Southern Nigerians to breed their own meat source (Cattle, Goats and Sheep) here in Southern Nigeria, then the demand for Fulani cows would reduce considerably and the herdsmen would literally go broke and be begging to sell their cattle to Southern Nigerians!

This economic solution is a lot better![/size]

It is time to boycott cows and beef from the north till this issue is sorted out, Yes there are good Fulanis who would not mete out such barbaric acts but for the time being till a complete halt is put to this murderous cattle journey business its time we boycott it. We can eat chicken, goat, ehi igbo, and pork for our protein source.[/color]

Did you know that eastern Nigeria had a very big cattle industry to till the civil war wiped it out. As a matter of fact the Hausa cow could not survive down in the east or southern states due to tse tse fly. It was only because it was eventually cross bred with the west African short horn cow (ehi igbo)which was only found in eastern and south west Nigeria did the northern Nigerians start bringing cows to the south. How can protecting cows be more valuable than human life......

The Head of Department of Animal Science, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Professor Arinze G. Ezekwe, has decried the rapid decline in the production and productivity of the Igbo cattle otherwise known as muturu cows in the South-east zone.
Prof. Ezekwe said if nothing is done to check the decline of the animals in the zone, the future generation might not set eyes on them because the animals would have been extinct by then.
Addressing participants during a workshop on conservation of muturu cattle breed in the South-east zone, in Enugu, he said it was regrettable that the Biafra-Nigeria civil war was one of the major factors that affected the Igbo cattle when soldiers on both sides of the war sacked communities and killed the cattle which they used as food.
The workshop was organised by the federal government in collaboration with the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations (UN) in the south rain forest of Nigeria comprising mainly some parts of the South East and the South South geo-political zones of the country.
Prof. Ezekwe explained that: “The relevance or the significance of this workshop is borne out of the fact that the muturu cattle which is synonymous with Igbo cattle appears to be going into extinction because the number is drastically going down.”
He added that “the government is keen on reversing the trend now,” hence the workshop was to sensitise the people again to see what could be done to “reverse the trend in the declining of the population of the animal.”
He further explained: “The Hausa people call it muturu because muturu means small – but the English name is West African suck-horn, and our people call it Igbo cattle (efi or ehi). In many communities in Igbo land, the cattle is revered, used in so many traditional and cultural activities. And with declining population, the fear is that if nothing is done to reverse the trend, then future generations may come to see that there is no more Igbo cattle again.”
Prof. Ezekwe recalled that in 1992, during the last census conducted by government on livestock in Nigeria, by Resource Inventory Management Limited, the population given for muturu cattle then was 115,000 all over Nigeria.
“By now it must be lower than that number. So that is the problem; it is not even up to 200,000,” he lamented.
Ezekwe said it was unfortunate that presently in some Igbo communities where muturu cows are found, the animal was being kept by older people insisting that the younger generation must show interest in sustaining the animals otherwise they would go into extinction when the older generation passed on.
Also speaking at the workshop, the Director, Animal Production and Husbandry Services in the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Ademola Raji said, “I would like to reiterate that the federal government is very determined and fully committed to ensure that the nation is self-sufficient in food production in general and beef meat from muturu cattle breed in particular.”
Raji assured that with the cooperation of the farmers and other stakeholders alongside the three tiers of government, the task was an accomplishable one.
He said the workshop was significant because it marked a milestone in Nigeria’s drive to transform livestock production as a business.
“The current policy direction is to ensure that Nigeria’s agricultural production met the needs of countries within the sub-region through export as the country is highly endowed with natural livestock resources,” Raji also said.
To achieve this, he said the potentials for livestock production and productivity will have to be unlocked and a conducive environment put in place for the private sector to actively participate in the industry and practice agriculture as a business and not a development programme.

Hope obiano is not sleeping? How can they allow cows to be roaming in a city in 21st century.

God help us
they may not be Fulani herds of cattle from the look at the picture. No Fulani man sighted there. They might be owned by an Ibo man Cos I learnt there is a newly established ranch in Anambra state.

These stories of Harden to me is somehow. We know herdsmen allow their cattle grave over farmlands which cause conflict. That I get, once a while violence happens and stuff goes down.

But saying herdsmen who are supposed to be nore concerned about their cattle that human life gather up to 50 to attack a conmunity leaves some questions like

Where are the cattle they are herding or taking care of? Its simple logic, two to four herdsmen can be in charge of about 50 heads of cattle. 50 men is about 750-1000 heads of cattle, who is watching them and where are they hiding while they go fight? Perhaps some other elements are at play and the real herdsmen are taking the fall for the crimes of some other people.

See eh, I am a staunch Buhari loyalists and a proud citizen of O'dua Republic; this Fulani herdsmen shenanigans MUST stop ASAP. This is even worse than Boko Haram because they walk freely amongst us in the day, and at night they slaughter innocent people. Last time I checked, the North had more geographical and grazing land mass than the South; it's time the northern governors and the President called these guys to order or people will take laws into their hands...and nothing go happen. No individual, group or community has the tedium of violence...#Irepbuhari but #humansovercattle

The fulani herdsmen are stuck in the 15th century. Nobody has the effontry to confront them.
The entire country is tired of their archaic and awkward practise that endanger the human existence.
The moment the south rise up against their practise, a lot of other states in the north will follow suit.
The question now is "who will bell the cat".
