A Nigerian shared a video of his plantain farm in Ikare Ekiti, which was allegedly overrun by Fulani Herdsmen. In the video, all the plantain trees have been brought down, with no fruits in sight.

Food inflation remains a problem in Nigeria, with a current rate of 36% food inflation year-on-year. With farmers unable to engage in farming, or see the produce of their efforts in harvest season, the situation is unlikely to improve.

With the government unable/unwilling to effectively combat the menace, it remains a persistent problem threatening the Nation's 200 million population.

No we are not saying the same thing.

If the executive wants this rogue herdsmen nonsense to stop this very minute - it surely will. I do not know how in your view this problem has suddenly migrated to become a legislative issue. As far as I am aware, it is against the law for me to carry a Kalashnikov in Nigeria. It is flat out illegal. I can still remember the confusion I felt as far back as 2017 when on a road trip, I saw herders dressed in military fatigues on the Kaduna - Abuja expressway, brandishing Kalashnikov
rifles - in broad daylight.

The federal executive has the power to end this nonsense but it has refused to do so. Let us call a spade a spade. This is just one of several heart wrenching videos on this site of farmers who have lost eveything (and i mean everything) to this madness. You heard the man say he took a loan to set up his farm. what's he supposed to do now?

And then when men commit suicide to end it all, people call them weak, without thinking of what drove them down that road in the first place.

Goddamit, Nigeria is NOT a country!!!

i sympathise with the man but he should be more security conscious. He still went to this place all alone recording video. Na my land, na my village must also be with sense oh. What if the people who did this find him here and kill him over nothing? You know that herdmen always parade your area and you still go ahead to invest and plant there. Is that sense or guts or what?

This is really sad... 2 acres of plantain farm was finished by Fulani cows in Ekiti, simply because they believe they can graze their cows anywhere they like. The suckers he paid for, land he worked hard on for a whole year, all the produce gone like that.

If you can't buy farm lands or hay for your cows, you have no business rearing cattle... Anyone going into farming in Nigeria must equip himself with enough security and cameras cos these people are really destroying lives.

Are you sick?

Scamburster:

Lol, you are wasting your time by identifying that dumb ass being. Sometimes I will read his/her post and start laughing. He/she must complete her/his paid per post to earn token.

Ezmans:
in Baba voice where are there cows

Jokerman:
Wetin concern APC politicians and farmers, except it has to do with tribalism?

blackmantis:
Until politics and tribalism is set aside and the Fulani herdsmen menace is tackled heads on we won't make progress in fighting hunger and insecurity.

MasterTeeUSA:
The Govt can clear lands, build fences and allocate...I think it's a big risk to do open farming...even if cows don't eat it up, people can steal your produce unless you are in the middle of no where...I want to dabble into agriculture but my first plan is to erect a fence and CCTV with security...it's the cost of doing business. One must think of all possibilities and not take these types of risks. It might be Yoruba cattle...we will never know cos our people raise cows and hire fulanis too

YoshihideSuga:


But how come one doesn't hear of Fulani herdsmen invasion in Benin Republic and Ivory Coast? How come Ghanaian authorities can chase out Fulani herdsmen, but Nigerian authorities cannot? How do we expect a subsistent farmer to provide fences and CCTV just to protect less than a hectare of land? Money he should have invested in cultivating more plantains is what you suggest he uses to build fence. Is he into fencing as an occupation?

Regarding government building fences for cattle rearers. When would the government do the same for pig farmers? Are cattle rearers more equal than pig or poultry farmers?

It's a pity many Nigerians are so dishonest when dealing with public issues even when these issues affect ordinary Nigerians.

Most importantly, state governments should set up forest guards and comb the forests from time to time. Governors should stop acting useless and help their people, at least Buhari is no longer president. Enact laws to protect farmers and any herder who damages people's farms should be made to pay for it with their cows! Where do you want Nigerians to turn to if they can't even farm? Maybe everyone should go into crime so we can know what's up!

esnbrutality:
Where are they?
.
Their masters have destroyed the farm of the slave. While their benefactor is President.

God Bless ESN
God bless IPOB
God Bless Nnamdi Kanu.

What a disgraceful setting. All the internet rodents have abandoned this thread and they are looking for Peter Obi news.

So much for Sophisticated reasoning ..

ESN Dead?

Sure?

Abufo:



ESN is dead and buried bros! Nigeria has used bribes and sabotage to decimate those ones.........instead God Bless BLA ( biafra liberation Army)
That war fulani wants will happen sooner than later..............with the trajectory the nigeria is going...civil crisis is inevitable, people had better zero their minds to that reality!!

sylve11:


It's difficult to implement because the governors take orders from the head.

Jadeng:


Funny enough this has been THE SAME ISSUE/SITUATION across all farming communities in most parts of Nigeria for some years now ! !

How will Nigeria people invest in Agriculture when Fulani Herdsmen bandits are all ravaging farmlands. This is unacceptable

Until we legalize arms, this will not stop.
Until 4 years ago, one could legally buy shotguns with license, not until one IG under buhari placed a blanket ban.
One or 2 warning shots and those fulanis would have left. Afterall, they did it to my paddies farm at Osun state. Bros held them at gun point. Called the authorities, last last they sold some cattle to settle him.

Umuinyioku:
You are right.
