We have been practicing ranching in Igboland for ages, our native goats and cows can't be compared with Fulani breed of cows .
In a decent society nobody allows livestock to wonder around to cause havoc to other people's business or property.
Its time other Nigerians go into commercial ranching like this man.

Sheuns:
You give a cow 1500cal of food and make it trek 100km to get another 2500cal of food. If you tell them to keep their cattle in one place now, they'll bring out daggers.

[s]Your problem is comprehension; no need arguing with someone who obviously cannot read and understand a string of simple sentences such as the ones making up my post; I advise you to ask somebody with more intelligence to kindly go over and explain my post to you - especially the last paragraph[/s].

Kennydoc:


Oga, have you considered the quality of lives of those Fulani herders? If most of them were educated and contributing intellectually to the advancement of Nigeria, will they be following cows about in the bush?

Forget about your cholesterol talks. The Europeans and Americans have far better life expectancy, despite all the junks they eat. If you re very concerned about your health with respect to eating beef, then the best option will be to boycott beef almost completely. Europeans don't even eat beef as much as they eat chicken.

jonathanOz:
But some people are of the opinion that nomadic cows are more nutritious than those raised in a ranch. Just as local chickens are more nutritious than the agric breed.
Could there be some truth in that?

Cow business is fulani business... Why d govt is interested in Fulani private business is baffling... In an era where d rest of d world make use of modern farming practices, some ppl are intent on walking up and down with their livestock and ruining other ppl's businesses and lives. Why will a businessman use his business to destroy and disturb d peace of other businesses.. Imagine if everyone carries their domestic animals around jus to feed dem.. Let dem set up animal farms for their cows and let Nigerians rest...

beautyhound:


see foolish talk. so its d walking long distance dt makes beef from cow lean. my brother use ur number 6 now

PeterUdeme:


No one is forcing you to ranch your cow, but stay in your land. don't bring your cow to the middle belt or south where they graze on people's farm.

Farming is a business too. You can't be destroying other people's business for the survival of your own business. Clashing with farmers on their own farm will spell doom for the fulani in the future, you maybe having the upper hand now, but buhari will not be president forever and their is a limit to people's patience.

ItsMeAboki:
Yes quite true; however, Nigerians may in future be exchanging their healthier free range grown lean meat in exchange for less healthier high Cholesterol, heart disease inducing, hormone and antibiotics laden fatter meat.

Not everything we see and copy from Europe and America is necessarily good for us - even they too are reconsidering some of their high intensity battery farming methods for free range greener methods.

We should approach our transition with a mixed and more balanced perspective than what is otherwise being blindly canvassed.

legba1:


so wats ur point?....ranched cow eat grass and foliage....not necessarily compounded ration all the time....plus this rearing method wil save us un neccessary clashes...its the way to go

Ojiofor:


You are right,I find it damn difficult to comprehend your support for Fulani killer herdsmen.Pislik.

Pidginwhisper:
And there's nobody to tell this educated illiterate man wey dey form sabi that Cows get different breeds same as goats.

There's no way Nigerian cow will look this way no matter how well its being fed, unless they cross a foreign breed with our local breed.Btw, that Cow looks more like a brahma bull.
He doesn't even knw he made a racial remark in the message. Silly bigot

gbosaa:
Mr Godson is not a very wise man. Why would he liken Nigerian cows to Kenyan athletes? Does he realise how racist and offensive his post was?

I’m really disappointed.

Why am I not surprised, clearly some akpu filled brains cannot cope at all.

Where things work

kennykg:
What's the diff btw a plane and a cow ?
Are they not both private business ?
What this diff btw an airport and a ranch ?
Private business?
But we spend billions on building/ repackaging same rickety airports.
Private business abi?

Do you know?

if the govt invest in the ranches and the herders are made to pay per cow monthly for been on the ranch, that's revenue and long term profit for the states

This would also create more jobs and revenge for all those states always looking for bail out

Beef would be more cheaper as its closer

The monoply is broken cause now you have other players on board.

The cow dung would be used for fertilizer and would be readily available at a cheaper rate

The skin aka kpomo, bones, horns can also be processed into other things which also gives rise to factories and employment.

And so much more

Don't allow people with lesser vision tweak yours with ill words this 21st century think like someone in the new age and not stone age.

All this people shouting ismlamization, killer Fulani n co ask them

who's their estate/street/ gateman/ security man ?
Who operates their fruits market eg mile 12 ?
Who's in their sabo market / cattle cow market ?
Who's their gardener ?
Who's their cheapest okada rider?

If the Fulani you say is the killer herdsmen do you think you would be reading Nairaland now ?

Even when you spread the so call killer herdsmen, it makes it easy to spot the rogue ones and deal with them according to law.

If you saying no ranching, what's the diplomatic, life saving and efficient solution you can offer ?

Oga, average Europeans have longer life expectancy. In Europe, you see 80something and 90something year old still walking about entering buses and trains. Some live alone (especially those who don't have dementia).
I've seen a 99 year old woman who still drives. She's still alive as we're talking. How many of such women do we have in Nigeria?

Asians may be healthier and all that, but still doesn't change the fact that Europeans are healthier than Nigerians. Asains are generally more fit, eat more healthy meals (they are more inclined towards herbs and vegetarian diet), so it isn't surprising why they are healthier.

LordOrochimaru:
But how come Fulani herdsmen were not our problem 10 years ago? They had cows that time na

Keep celebrating your ignorance publicly. Our breed of cows grow this big and even bigger under the right circumstances.

How far with the corola? Hope you got it back.
