How The Herder Tribe Bribe Other Tribes: An Eye Opener by dumahi(m): 1:07pm On Aug 05, 2019
TO GET THE FULL GIST, READ TO THE BOTTOM OF THE END

Do you know that some of the richest Americans are ranch owners? They purchase expansive properties and employ thousands of people to provide food, water, veterinary services, and general care to the livestock. In return, the animals yield rich produce like milk, hide and skin, furs and more. So these people help the economy of the country by providing employment and by also providing rich raw materials for Industries and for individual consumption. See
Forbes list of the top ranch owners in USA

Now, contrast this with the case of Nigeria where the rich choose instead to use cattle breeding to destroy the economy by destroying crops, killing people, scaring investors away and making the animals produce less - so much less, in fact, that the country imports milk with all the millions of cattle littering our environment.

Do you know the major hindrance to ending the Herdsmen Menace? This is it: Our rich men across the tribes have their cows among those cows we tag 'Fulani'. In many villages and all the cities in Nigeria, they bribe the rulers by giving them some cows. And they offer to others the opportunity to buy some cows and let the herders take care of them on their behalf. Then, finally, we all know that 9 in 10 Northern alhajis have invested in those cows. It's why so much killing of human beings is going on for cows' sake and all our legislators, lawyers, governors, traditional rulers, bishops, etc are merely glossing over it.

What shall we do my people? I looked everywhere and I didn't see protesters to join. That's the point these oppressors have driven us to.

One major way of tackling the herders menace is stop buying their meat and other products from cows for at least a year. Since Fulani are responsible for 95 percent of cows in Nigeria, and it's among these cows that they take to other people's farms, destroy their crops, kill the owners and rape their mothers and wives. Only to bring such blood cows to the market and sell to you and I. If you buy their products, you are indirectly funding them while encouraging them to stay, since that have people to sell to.
It is commonsensical that if you and I withdraw from their cow, beef, and even wara, we will not be guilty of indirectly supporting them in their evil acts.
Of course not every Fulani herdsman is a killer , but we can't identify them in this critical situation. If you stay away from their products, it may seem little to you but their sales will be affected and they won't be too eager to stay anymore. Join those of us that have taken that decision . Don't wait till a member of your family is affected.
