Cattle ranching - The inexpensive solution to banditry

The primary excuse that the Fulani have to stay in forests all over the country is that they are tending to their cows. Instead of ranching these cows in the modern way as done in other countries, they drive them around even urban areas leading to problems with farmers and urban residents

I have never done cattle ranching but from the capital apoarently required, if you have one hundred cattle heads ranched somewhere where you feed and water them and what they eat is grass, you are going to be making over twenty million naira per annum after all expenses including workers' salaries, feed supplements and veterinary expenses

Such a business can seek funding and expand once the founder had gotten the hang of how to run it. It can list on the stock exchange too and pay dividends to shareholders and it can certainly hire expertise from Brazil which is the country with the highest number of cattle heads per Capita with no known recurrent issue of farmer herder clashes. Brazil has more cattle than people

Therefore any government tier from federal to local that does not have at least one ranch is not doing enough to solve the problem of banditry in the country which is currently the biggest problem in the country. Any individual with means that is not doing anything is not patriotic enough because it is an opportunity to make money while being a patriot. If you are sponsoring people to Hajj and you have not requested anyone say a university department to prepare a business plan on cattle ranching for you, then you have wrong priorities etc. Brazil is making almost twenty billion dollars per annum in forex from cattle. If I had the means, I would join the sector, make the venture profitable and seek investors but I can't do it now as I have no means and also because those after me over my activities will spare no effort in pulling it down as they did my other businesses.

If what you can do is 50 heads or 20 or 10 kindly do sonething

Private ranches ooooooo.

Why only private? Ranch is ranch. Let any entity invest

then help poultry and pig farmers to build their businesses. You have situation of land shortage and know the land belongs to the farming side but pretend that ranching makes sense.

So you think some government in Nigeria don't own poultry business and etc? I think Ekiti owned a poultry business at one point and there are governments in the SW that have ranches. What is needed is to stop open grazing which is the excuse or cover that the Fulani bandits have to do what they are doing all over the country
