Below is a video of t=what Fulani Herds of Cattles are doing to farmlands and communities in the east of Nigeria.

For some reason, the Hausa Fulani elite is bent on spreading their herds of cattle to other regions in the country regardless of the agricultural effects on the host communities. Here's our humble suggestions

1. Setup ranches in the North

Irrigation has worked in the North and will continue to do so as long as they is steady supply from Rivers Niger, Benue and the fading lake chad. Cattles are not meant to be roaming the society or interstate in real sense.

2. Manage existing vegetation up North

The Savanna and grasslands up North can feed over 2.6 Million Herds of Cattle confidently without need for migration to the southern or eastern part of the country. Plateau, Niger, Kaduna are some state with very good vegetation and suitable for diary farming.

3. Stop the propaganda of the country belonging to Fulani

The Northern elite must wake up and sensitize their people. Stop telling them in Mosque and gatherings of how the country and all its resources belongs to the North. This is a dangerous mind-game and it really has brainwashed the less privileged Hausa-man. Nigeria is an entity where people's rights, religion and culture must be respected at all times.

4. Work simultaneously with your host communities.

It is a well known fact that the Fulani clan used to be very peaceful until the advent of President Buhari. Not one single Fulani Herdsman has been brought to book by the law. Seems, some people are above the constitution here. Be it in Jos, Kaduna South or Benue; cattle rearers should abide by the laws of their host communities. They are your host and not your slaves as you are made to believe.

5. Have restricted areas so as to boost efficiency (Reserves)

Apart from setting up Ranches and the likes, there should be restricted zones which will be nursed for a certain duration so as to boost efficiency and migration if need be. Not all arable land should be used up for ranches. It is a wise idea to setup reserve areas so that new breeds, grassland innovation and technology can be carried out there.
