The publisher of Ovation Magazine and Nigerian politician Cbief Dele Momodu blows hot in his quest to finding an answer to his question which is now at the centre of our political discourse now in Nigeria. He wondered why a big country like Nigeria with brilliant people should be reduced to cow discussion.

Below are excerpt of his video talk…….

Publisher of Ovation Magazine, Dele Momodu has weighed in on the herdsmen and farmers crises, asking why cows have become so important that they now form a topic for national discourse. He lamented how marauding herdsmen are returning Nigeria to the stone age and antiquity with their nefarious activities.

“We are discussing cows everyday. A cow business is supposed to be a personal and private business. If you want to sell your cows, you want to breed your cows, set it up as a business.

Your business stops where mine begins. You cannot bring your cows on my farmland and say I have nor right to complain. If you must do any business, do it according to the dictates of running a business. We are not the largest cow producing or breeding country in the world. We are not even among the top 20.” Momodu said in the eight minutes video He continued: “How come we want to continue to practice archaism?

We want to remain in the stone age. We want to remain in antiquity. People carrying cows up and down inside the forest, and then you endanger the lives of people. A man who studied and went abroad, got his Ph.D then came back, one illiterate will just kidnap him, take his money and kill him inside the bush. Is that how to run a country? When you say that they will say you don’t like government.

No! I have brilliant Fulani friends. Why do we want to reduce an entire race to cow? It’s wrong. It’s even unfair on the hardworking Fulanis. It’s unfair on the brilliant Fulanis who went to school.

The Yorubas have a saying that ‘we cannot start calling the cow uncle because we ant to eat beef.

And then we are told that these cattle rearers are not even Nigerians but they have freedom to come into Nigeria while we are shutting borders against people in Seme and all those places. We are shutting our borders against those who want to do even their legitimate business. We are shutting borders and complicating life for our children who are going to school in Cotonou, Lome and Accra. We make life difficult but cattle rearers can stroll in and out anywhere and we say they have every right.” He advised affected governors to demand and enforce a ban on cattle wanderers in their forest.

This man is on point

Dele Mommodu have decided to start speaking out against evil. If you see evil and refused to speak or fight against it, one day it will come knocking on your door and no one will be there to help you.

It's because a larger percentage of both the leaders and the lead think and act like cows.




Unfortunately the only way out now is through force division, peaceful division is a mere propaganda postulated by the myopian elite 'herders' from the North, the West and the East.

ABUJA—The Presidency, yesterday, charged those against the administration’s ranching and colony programmes for herdsmen to rethink, noting that they are better off living with the ranches and colonies than dying through the persisting conflicts.

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Chief Femi Adesina, speaking on an AIT morning programme in response to a question on ancestral attachments to land said: “Ancestral attachment? You can only have ancestral attachment when you are alive.

If you are talking about ancestral attachment, if you are dead, how does the attachment matter? The exhortation from the Presidency came on a day Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, said that history would be harsh on the present administration if it failed to stop the mass killing of innocent Nigerians.

This is even as the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, in the 17 Southern states yesterday said the insecurity pervading the country, particularly in the North Central zone, poses grave danger to the conduct of next year’s general elections.

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Chief Femi Adesina, gave the admonishment as he alleged a conspiracy by alleged critics of the administration to frustrate moves towards resolving the crises in the country. Adesina, who spoke on AIT morning programme, said it was wrong to describe the attacks against farmers as one directed against Christians.

He said: “Hundreds have been killed in Zamfara, are they Christians? People have been killed in Birnin Gwari, are they Christians? “What is happening is criminality, pure and simple, and it must be brought to an end. Government has a big role to play in this but the people themselves have a role to play.” Noting what he described as a campaign to stop the implementation of the administration’s plans to check the farmers-herders conflict, Adesina said: “Some people are saying don’t use government money to build ranches. If truly they don’t have lands, that is fine, but remember that Kogi State offered 15,000 hectares of land for cattle colony and in the midst of that offer vicious attacks were unleashed.

“In Plateau State, where we had the recent orgy of killings, the government has offered land for ranches and I tell you that some people are interested in this thing not being resolved.” Better alive than a dead land owner".

Adesina Asked about the ancestral attachment by the people of those states to their lands, he said: “Ancestral attachment? You can only have ancestral attachment when you are alive. If you are talking about ancestral attachment, if you are dead, how does the attachment matter? “The National Economic Council that recommended ranching didn’t just legislate it, there were recommendations. “So, if your state genuinely does not have land for ranching, it is understandable; not every state will have land for ranches. But where you have land and you can do something, please do for peace. What will the land be used for if those who own it are dead at the end of the day?”

Adesina further said the administration is doing its best to ensure peace throughout the country. “There are different theatres of crises in the country and you may look at each theatre with its peculiarities. In the Middle Belt, it has its own peculiarities and what is the peculiarity of that, Farmers-Herders conflict. What has the government done? “It has sent in security agencies starting with the police, later troops, later different operations by the military,” he said.

Uncle Dele, anywhere belle face

Cow and Management of cow is the biggest issue in Nigeria. We need to make hay while the Sun shines.

This is the body language of Buhari administration. It's a moral question for the president, his quietness over this herders attacks is deliberate.

It's a moral support in order to subject states with objection to rugga policy of federal govt to a helpless situation to consider the policy unconditionally, but it fail to understand that cows is a private business.

What Nigerian govt don't understand with the current situation at hand is if the killing continue unabated, people will resort to self help and when that happened it's a recipe for unrest which is capable of causing civil war of ethnic coloration.

FG govt appears in support of the herdsmen with their neferous atrocities being committed across the state. This is a dangerous event in Nigeria.

Buhari is an evil man who doesn't deserve to be the president of this country.
