greateros: My broda i know how painful it is to watch your efforts flushed down the drain by an ignoramus - but abeg let them pass u hear?

those people are the devil you see practically! they have no qualms in sticking a daga into your stomach when it comes to issues pertaining to their cow!

Its better to be alive and replant your cassava than to be dead - killed by one illiterate herdsman that has no respect for human life!

bilms: this has nothing to do with Nigeria ooo..Fulai are every where..

bilms: we dont need to send anyone parking..God created us together to coexist

bilms: i guess Luagrd told the people in central Africa too?


wake up to the reality of life and save yourself the stress of confusion.

Ogbonaikenna: It is called one nigeria. A zoo where injustice prevails. You one nigerianist will continue to suffer until you take concrete steps to break away from that zoological republic of nigeria. I do not mean coming to nairaland to shout "divide this country" ati bebelo. No. Join secessionist movements and demand for your God given right, the right to self determination. But until then, keep enjoying the one nigeria your fathers fought for. As for we biafrans, our train is already on the move. Our radio station broadcast everyday at 7pm london time via www.radiobiafra.co. Plans are in top gear to acquire a transmitter that will carry our signal to the nooks and cranny of the entire west africa so that our mothers, fathers and people in the remotest part of biafraland and beyond can get our signal through their transistor radio. Hopefully by september the transmitter will be acquired. Another step we took was to sue the FG to court. Once we don't get justice in nigeria court we will move the case to the international court in the hague. For more detail about the court case, please visit www.biliehumanrights.org. Thanks

Ogbonaikenna: you are ignorant of the law. So you are wiser than the soviet union, eritrea and ethiopia, east timor, south sudan and sudan, pakistan, bangladesh and india, kosovo, serbia and montenegro? We will leave you and your northern masters very soon.

HNosegbe: It is for reasons like this that I believe that the Fulanis must be made to adopt the ranch system.

I remember a documentary I once watched on the evolution of the modern Texas cattle ranchers. 19th century America had cowboys who roamed the Texas plains, causing untold damage to crops and farmland. This went on unabated until a new, cost-effective way to fence farmland (the barbed-wire) was invented. The barbed wire helped farmers to fence large expanses of farmland around at minimal cost, thereby safeguarding their crops and keeping off the cowboys and their cattle. Only with this restraint were the cowboys forced to evolve, and develop the famous ranch system we know today.

Check out the links below for more details:

So, maybe it's high time Nigerian farmers embraced this cost-effective invention. Help yourselves, if the government won't help you.

bilms: MY FARM HAS BEEN DESTROYED BY FULANI COWS. It is almost 2years now that i decided to own a farm,where cassava,yam and other farm produce will be produced. I invested some little funds as a beginer to understand the agricultural business before going big and everything move as planned. One of my reasons to start a farm is to be able to acquire practical knowledge about agro business and educate others to take the path as a means of creating employment and empowerment. Having succesfully started the farm and kept in custody of an helper who reside not too far away from the farm,i was expecting to complete my pilot scheme in this second year to determine what next to do. But it was a suprise to get to the farm over the weekend after receiving a call from the helper and meet all the farm destroyed by animals (cows). According to the helper in charge, some Fulani men directed their multitude of cows into the farm and destroyed the whole thing. No wonder their is always crisis involving Fulani herdsmen.
