https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9opI3v31S_E Can the average farmer withstand this? cclalasticlala Fulani herdsmen or Fulani pastoralists are nomadic or semi nomadic fulani herders whose primary occupation is raising livestock.The pure Fulani pastoralist engages in random movement of cattle while the semi-nomadic makes transhumance migration and return to their camps or homes. The Fulani herdsmen are largely located in the Sahel and semi arid parts of West Africa but due to changes in climate patterns many herdsmen have moved further south into the savannah and tropical forest belt of West Africa. The herdsmen are found in countries such as Nigeria, Niger, Senegal, Guinea, Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Benin, Cote d’Ivoire and Cameroon. In Senegal they inhabit northeastern ferlo and the southeastern part of the country. In many of these countries the Fula often constitute a minority group. In Nigeria. the livestock supplied by the herdsmen provide a bulk of the beef consumption in the country. Herding system A pastoral Fulani family is the traditional herding unit. Tasks are divided by gender and age among the members of the family.The main work of men is to manage the herd, find grazing sites, build tents and camps and make security tools such as knives, bow and arrows and guns. Women in the unit take on traditional roles such as sourcing food produce in the market, milking cows, weaving and mat making.Some women are also involved in farming such as growing vegetables and raising poultry. Cattle is the dominant composition of the Fulani herd in countries such as Nigeria and camel is the least liked animal.The livestock is largely female with close to 60% of cattle being female, the male species are usually reduced by selling them. Movements Fulani herdsmen's engage in both random and planned transhumance movements. Random movements are usually taken by the pure nomadic Fulani herdsmen while planned movements are taken by the semi nomadic pastoralist. A primary reason for the migratory nature of the herdsmen is to reach areas with abundant grass and water for the cattle.The herdsmen also move to avoid tax collectors, harmful insects and hostile weather and social environment. A major benefit of the movement for the herdsmen is to maximize the availability food resources for the cattle and reduce excessive grazing.Before moving new areas, the herdsmen send a reconnaissance team to study the area for availability of resources such as grass and water. Source of income The sale of cattle, goat, sheep and dairy products such as milk constitute the primary source of income and livelihood of the herdsmen. Their wealth and riches are often measured by the size of the Cattle herd being the most treasured animal they herd. Traditionally, the herdsmen often loaned a cow (habbanaya) to another until she calves and after weaning the calf, the cow is returned to its owner. These herdsmen herds several species of cattle species of cattle, but the zebu cattle is the most common in the West African hinterland because of its drought resistant traits. The dwarf Ndama cattle is commonly herd in the wetter areas of Fouta Djallon and Casamance as result of their resistant to trypanosomiasis and other conditions directly associated with high humidity Nigeria Fulani pastroalists started migrating into Northern Nigeria from the Senegambia region around the thirteenth or fourteenth century. After the Uthman dan Fodio jihad, the Fulani became integrated into the Hausa culture of Northern Nigeria. Thereafter, during the dry season when tsetse fly population is reduced, Fulani pastoralists began to drive their cattle into the middle belt zone dominated by non Hausa groups returning to the north at the onset of the rainy season. But while managing the herd and driving cattle, cattle grazing on farmlands sometimes occur leading to destruction of crops and becoming a source of conflict. Nigeria's implementation of the land use act of 1978 allowed the state or federal government the right to assign and lease land and also gave indigenes the right to apply and be given a certificate of occupancy to claim ownership of their ancestral lands.[16] This placed the pastroal Fulani in a difficult position because most did not apply for lands of occupancy of their grazing routes and recurring transhumance movement will lead to encroachment of the properties of others. The Nigeria government designed some areas as grazing routes but this has not reduced clashes. From 1996 to 2006 about 121 people lost their lives in Bauchi and Gombe states as a result of conflicts between pastoralists and farmers. |

I ' as the mouthpiece of helinues says Fulani herdsmen may be very dangerous and maybe may kill 1 or 2 accross Nigeria since 2015 ,but they are still kind hearted unlike igbos who do business accross Lagos . The way they carry themselves with shoulder high made them worst than Fulani n Boko Haram combined. |
