– Fulani herdsmen are not buying the idea of grazing
reserve
– Some of them see it as an infringement of their rights
to movement
– There is suggestion that the herdsmen be educated
on the importance
The nomadic practice of moving cattle from one place
to the other that is common among Fulani herdsmen in
Nigeria has led to violent clashes between the
herdsmen and farmers but the end of these
confrontations doesn’t seem to be near.
Nomadic cattle rearing
This is because the idea of providing permanent grazing
reserves for herdsmen to prevent them from roaming
with their cattle from the northern part of the country to
the largely agrarian south is not welcomed by some
herdsmen who feel their right to movement is going to
be infringed.

In a report published by Daily trust, some herdsmen and
milk sellers expressed displeasure at the idea of
restricting their movement and claimed cattle could not
survive restrictions.
A herdsman, Muhammadu Tukur said the idea of a
permanent reserve will not work.
“It will not work out because we always relocate to
where pasture can be found.”
Adamu Birniwa who is the secretary of the state chapter
of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association said he was
aware of the federal government’s plan and that there
was plan to educate the herdsmen on the importance
and benefit of the grazing reserve.
Halilu Alhaji Ya’u who is a herdsman condemned the
idea and said it would not work.
“If what you are saying becomes reality, it will
inconvenience us.”
Alhaji Muhammad Hussaini who is the chairman of the
Nasarawa state Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders
Association, Nigeria said it was a bad idea and an
invitation for to trouble.
“We have over 35 million Fulani herdsmen in the
country and stopping their movement with cattle might
not be possible.”
“If you force a Fulani man not to move with his cattle,
you are inviting trouble.”

Hadiza Umar who sells Fura Da Nono rejected the idea
and said it might kill her business.
“If you stop moving cattle how do you feed them? Do
you think you will get grasses and water from a location
to feed them? Where are we going to get the milk? If you
don’t get the milk from the cattle rearers in the bush,
where do we get it? They are planning to kill our
business. They shouldn’t tamper with our means of
livelihood and find an alternative means of resolving
their problems, and not create another because this
move is unacceptable.”
