In this way, the offspring of the herders have nothing to acquire. They in this manner, go into cows stirring and different types of culpabilities.

"Through this strategy and mediation in the domesticated animals generation, it will be feasible for the herders to claim their own domesticated animals and have something for what's to come.

The only way to stop the killings is to make herdsmen carry out their herding business like the rest of Nigerian businesses. Businesses go to any location, buy lands, set up and operate while paying local taxes and obeying local laws.

Herdsmen on the other hand invade other people's ancestral lands, eat their grass, trample on their crops, rape their women and girls, kill their young and old alike, order them to leave their lands when they please and when the locals stand up to their rights, they are attacked and pinned down with security forces of the government, while herdsmen continue to kill daily.

Herders are business people, and must buy their lands. Thee seems to be two different laws in operation in Nigeria.

You are very correct, because they use their business to damage other peoples business and EFCC should go after the herdsmen not only yahoo boys or corrupt politicians. They should be charged for economic sabotage
