Mass Igbo Settlement Up North Is A Major Cause Of Herdsmen Coming South by Rossinkipp: 6:43am On Jul 16, 2021
I just a read a highly revealing scholarly article on the causes of the herdsmen crisis in Nigeria.

The main reason given of course was climate change causing accelerated desertification of the Sahara, and forcing herdsmen ever southwards for greener pastures to graze their cattle.

The 2ND reason given was the heightened migration of 'southern Nigerians' up to the north, causing pressure on land resources and land availability, and forcing herdsmen to migrate southwards.

These ''southern Nigerians'' buy up hectares of land and build houses and estates aplenty, plus numerous business premises, factories etc.

Now of course we know who these ''southern Nigerians'' are, even if the author was far too polite to mention their ethnicity outright.

Perhaps it's time to implore those ''southern Nigerians'' to head back home and free up the land for its original inhabitants, to help ease the herdsman crisis?

What kind of angle is this.. have you not heard Niger state is bigger than the whole of SE as claimed by the Northerners... so how does land scarcity come in?

It's not layman analysis, the North has sea of lands. so your angle on herdsmen migration because of landmass does not hold water.

Oga start traveling and stop making huge fool of yourself..online and maybe offline.

You will shout Borno state is bigger than entire southeast
You will shout that Niger state alone is bigger than south and east ..

So how is influx of southerners causing desertification and pressure on land ..

Visit the north and understand what is land see sea of land..

Ignorant is evil

I never said the influx of southerners caused desertification.

Use your brain to understand what was written before responding.

And do not accuse ME of ''shouting'' anything about the size of Borno or anywhere else.

I was never part of that conversation.

What do you mean ''the north have sea of lands''?

If so, why are the herdsmen migrating southwards in search of grazing land?

This debate is not for illiterates.

You need to get your people back home to the East.

What are you doing in northern Nigeria in your millions?

Of course there's pressure on the land.

You need to go home.

I learned at early stage that the northern lands were parched and arid, reason why the foremost terrorist planned to dip his quoran in the Atlantic.

so this lame talk is expertise to you abi

Gombe, Taraba etc have so many Savannah vegetation

The fulani terrorists in the southern farms now uproot crops of farmers to feed cows why can't they be doing this in the north since it's no longer vegetation

You talked of migration of igbos to north but the entire south east can not match the size of Niger state.

So how then is a few thousand of it's population that goes to north any inconvenience to the north

It is well proven that there are more Northerners in south than southerners in north yet southerners don't complain in Lagos etc that is extremely crowded already

The little land that is NOT parched and dried is being taken over by monied ''southern Nigerians'' who build estates, houses and factories there, causing pressure on land availaibility and causing herdsmen to head southwards.

You just said the non-indigenes are buying up landmass which has led the herdsmen to migrate south due to land struggle... how?

There is no land scarcity in Northern Nigeria, the herdsmen are too lazy to grow their green pastures while at the same time keeping their running cost low by non purchase of lands to ranch animals in other to avoid business competition.

The north has the Southerners amongst them to thank the little civilization there even if it's still inadequate. He agreed they developed the north by building industries, thereby leading to employment and education.

What makes you think millions of Igbos settling in the few fertile areas of the north will not cause land pressure on the nomads there?

Civilizaton?

You don't KNOW the meaning of the word, civilization.

The northerners were civilized when your ancestors were spear chuckers in the bush. They've had numerous industries which sustained them since time immemorial.

Kano has been a major INTERNATIONAL trading hub for over 1,000 years.

They don't need YOU for 'civilization'. You need them to feed yourselves, hence your presence on their land.

The little parched and arid land is not good for cattle grazing, that's why fulani plans on forceful eviction and occupation of the Benue.

So how come you are lagging behind in education and health care. As a northerner, your cut off marks into unity schools is just 2, while those primitive spear chuckers must score at least 30marks for entry into same school?

I'm not a northerner. And their performance in western education metrics is none of your business.

There are numerous forms of education beyond your colonial inheritance, which hasn't gotten you very far by the way, despite your slavish adulation of it.

The Igbos are not building or settling on dry, arid lands, but on the limited fertile lands up north, hence the need for herdsmen to migrate southwards.

Dumbo, 99.9% of northerners do not kill and maim other Nigerians.

You are a conditioned and brainwashed ignoramus to automatically equate Islamic learning with violence and terrorism.

Not if you conduct research like I do.

You are 'misinformed' only when you rely on street gossip, beer parlour analyses, and Nairaland tomfoolery by nincompoops and feckless malcontents.
