What type of peace talk be that? Will federal government ask the farmers to allow the fulani to spoil partial of their crops or what no peace talk is needed. The solution is to tell this beast clothed in human flesh to stop leading their cows into farm land. BTW the 18 months of the president which he said the herdsmen will not enter farm any longer when is it starting?

Talking from know till thy kindom come will not solve the problem.Government already knew what the solution is,do away with this primitive normadic livestyle of the fulanis.They should group themselve raise finance,buy huge plots of land and develop it to ranches,full stop,bye bye to clashes with farmers.
