In that case, they shouldn't be angry if someone slaughters their cattle. You are feeding your cattle on someone else's money; why shouldn't someone eat your cattle for free, then?

Fair is fair, is it not?

Abu-Maryam:

You have to look at the other side of a coin, banning them is not the solution more especially with our inept government, The truth is, the government should give them what belongs to them, grazing areas and put eyes on them, thats all!!!

Beaf:

What sort of joke is this? Its strange the way you think the same govt that siezes land and waterways in the ND to finance the country should turn around and hand land to Fulani herdsmen. You got jokes dude!

I say, ban the fvkers from their stone age nomadic lifestyles, give them id cards, restrict them to their states and let their state govs give the wretches land to graze. They can't keep wandering across Nigeria and killing people (even babies) like they barbaric hoards without the slightest inkling of morality and civilisation.

If any Fulani herdsman is found with cows outside his state, he should be shot like an armed robber.

eku_bear:

If he is found with cows even in his state, he should be shot. Or there are no farmers in Sokoto? This has nothing to do with states. This is purely property rights.

If a Fulani man wants to buy a 1000 hectare estate to wander his cattle on and graze, fine by me. At that point, it is his property, he can do whatever the fck he wants.

But even in Sokoto, you should not violate property rights.

eku_bear:

What the hell else is there to it?

I grow food, and you eat it?

Monkey dey work, baboon dey chop?

GTFO out of there with that sh1t. If I become a farmer one day in the future and you graze your animals on my land, your animals are dead.

If you bring your Fulani boys around my property too and trespass, they will be dead too.

Simple as that.

These Tiv need to arm themselves and be ready to do battle. Trespass on property = shoot on sight.

ShangoThor:

And who is going to stop them? Which political actor would have the balls to pass into law, legislation that restricts the scope
of their cattle grazing rights? Some Nigerians are dreamers. The bottom line is the Fulani herdsmen can do whatever they want,
whenever they want. Damnnn, let's keep this real. I mean this has been a problem source that was identified a long time ago.

The only real solution would be to separate and get the Israelis in to help us build a long wall, this will stop the cattle
grazers destroying farms and prevent "babies from being butchered".

eku_bear:

Eh, first of all stop your b1tchass red font.

Second, most of these Fulani are punks anyway. . . they can only pick on unarmed villagers. I assure you, if I ever enter that business, I will be armed to the teeth.

Whoever wants to attack me on my property, be my guest. Either you or I will die that night. . . and given how heavily armed I and my kin/employees will be, the odds won't be in your favor.

May they continue to kill Fulani, so long as Fulani do not respect property rights. Drive them out of Nigeria to wherever they originate from, if necessary.

If you respect your neighbor's land, then there will be peace. If not then there will be violence.

ShangoThor:

Seriously, this has been going on for a long time now, and just killing trespassers on their land is not a long term solution.

Furthermore, farmers are not mercenaries or warriors.

eku_bear:

It's actually a great longterm solution. If you were a cattle herder and you know that if you enter state X, there is a 60% chance you won't leave with your life, would you enter that territory?

The mistake the Tiv made was not immediately killing the trespassers too. Killing the cattle is not enough.
If you want to farm in Nigeria, then you'd better learn how to handle a gun. Farmers here in the US at least historically knew how to handle guns because they had to deal with marauding Native Americans. Nigerian farmers had better learn to do the same.

Hire a retired military man to teach your villagers how to shoot, buy weapons and practice.

My grandpa had a hunting rifle (for bush meat) and knew how to use it. . . and this was a man whose prime was in the 60, 70s.

Beaf:

Property rights is one area where Nigeria is backward beyond belief. You need to read the land use act and weep for the country.
It is the duty of each and every one of us to fight for the upholding of individual property rights, it is difficult to fathom how the FG can claim to own all undeveloped land. The land use act is part of the reason for the nomadic menace from cattle rearers.

Onlytruth:

At this stage, I think it is in order to call on Igbo and south east governors to start IMMEDIATE action to check ANY Fulani herdsmen encroachment on Igbo lands. If they don't do that, Igbo youth organizations will organize themselves into action groups or militia to check this. I'm saying this before it becomes too late. Nothing gets addressed in Nigeria. Everything is swept under the carpet until people start dying.

Looking at this issue, it has the potential to cause an all out war between the Fulanis and the rest of southern Nigerian groups.
Now, that is a fight I am doubly sure the Fulani will lose, and perhaps even lose much more than just cattle and men.

A word is enough for the wise.

Omo, see as this babe just dey disturb the peace with her bad grammer!!! No wonder, its because you think of yourself as a cow. Please stay in Saudi Arabia and learn something abeg. If english is too challenging that it looks like you are typing in spanish, type in fulani. English nor be your papa language. The simple solution, if you can't afford to run a business, you shouldn't run it. Buy some land and graze your cattle. Lazy people don't want to irrigate their land. Don't food crops grow there? Abegi, nor be by force to own cow. Its either you work on a farm or own the farm. Walking on the road with 100 cows, causing accidents, destroying people's livelihood, killing people and getting killed is not worth it. Soon communities will start setting up vigilante groups to kill them. Who will know? They are largely unaccounted for, so it is also for their safety.

I wish its your papa's language, Olodo
