Why Are Igbo Businessmen Not Into Cattle Ranching Yet? by horsepower101: 11:11am On Jan 20, 2018 |
It really surprises me that Considering how lucrative of a business it is, igbo businessmen and women haven't ventured into cattle ranching. Is there anything that I am missing? Anyone who does it will become a millionaire easily in the east. It's just surprising that igbos haven't taken this opportunity. 2 Likes |

There are Igbo business men who own farms and are into cattle ranching. It's just that they don't move around with their cows. 52 Likes 2 Shares |

In the same vein, l wonder why Hausa men are not into spare part business.. Or why Yoruba don't sell suya... I think it is basically a thing of interest, ancestry and availability of resources. My humble opinion 19 Likes |

the truth cattle take years and too much time. and the northerners have developed patients over the century. also cattle can be dangerous and the fullany have grown to understand and communicate with them over he the century. if only sheep can be used to replaced the cow. southerners can easily challenge them quickly. 1 Like |

The non-participation of southerners (including Igbos) in cattle ranching has nothing to do with any particular skills unique to Fulanis or other northern groups, and everything to do with the fact that the entire south of Nigeria lie in the Tse-Tse fly belt. The trypanosomiasis carried by tse-tse flies is lethal to cattle over long periods, especially the more productive breeds of cattle favored in Europe, the Americas and Australia. The particular breed of cattle raised by the Fulani are more resistant to the effects of the disease, but they are still not completely immune, which is why the Fulani nomads generally only bring their cattle down south for parts of the year, before taking them back north again later. What all of the above translates into is that the only way any southerners will ever do well in cattle ranching is by buying the necessary ranch lands in the north, and keeping their cattle there. Of course, they'd still face the problem of keeping Fulani nomads from turning the ranches they've bought into "free" grazing lands, as well as the burden of transporting the meat and milk they produce over Nigeria's atrocious transport infrastructure. In short, this is yet another situation in which the lazy Nigerian preference for tribalistic stereotyping can lead one seriously astray. All this talk of particular tribes being geniuses at "business" is just a way of avoiding any research and hard thinking about what it takes to succeed in a particular field. 14 Likes 3 Shares |

omohayek: I looked at map it seems all of Nigeria and most if sub Saharan Africa fall in belt. It's a big factor but it's can't be only excuse. There's countries like Kenya in belt that produce more cattle and have higher than Nigeria. Tanzania and Ethiopia lag behind a bit in production but have a higher herd population. 6 Likes
