This is an important question. I wonder why no answer

budaatum:
Do not let him derail your thread, and add cattle. It might take years, but we can do cattle too!

Yes, cattle should be there too. Just providing something to keep in mind in these days of climate change that cattle production is not environmentally sustainable, especially with increasing drought and still lower irrigation coverage in Nigeria. Thanks

This is the plant that makes Igbos smart. It's called Fluted pumpkin in English and Ugu in Igbo. So rich in proteins, iron, zinc, vitamins and fiber. With this you don't need beef

LokoH:
Also millipedes and earthworms

No way, bro. Those ones no follow

PrinceOfLagos:
Go make peace with your slave masters and stop eating rubbish

Lagos alone has over 20million people , this things you listed here won't last for a week .

What do you know? Oyibos and Asians are already making millions with these meat sources. Go and die with your cattle

Porcupines

Roasted crickets

Insects (anybody remember aku?
Snails
Larvae of weevils
Catfish

Others:
Rabbit
Goat
Guinea fowl
Turkey
hedgehog

These small animals are easier, faster and cheaper to raise compared to cattle. For example, it takes 1000 gallons of water to produce enough grass to feed a cow to maturity. Whereas it takes a tiny fraction of that to raise small animals like rabbits, and none at all to raise insects.

The food blackmail won't work. Except under severe emergency such as war the buyer is always the king over the seller when it comes to trading.

SMBH:
Better go permanently...

Lol

Gjrich:
It's high time we start importing healthy Cows from Australia than relying on Sexually infected Fulani Cows.

Is that an answer to my questions, though? And yes, I agree with you, by the way.

Hey don't come for me... I am an Igbo man. I just want to understand what's going on. Thanks

I read in a thread here https://www.nairaland.com/6438285/blockade-beef-scarcity-rising-cost in which someone said a third of the cows in Yorubaland is owned by Yorubas. I can believe this. Now, my question is whose cows are destroying crops in Yorubaland? The cows (33%%) owned by Yorubas or the cows (67%) owned by Fulanis?

This same question can be asked of Igbos and Niger Deltans. Who actually owns ALL the cows grazing in your lands? Are they all owned by northerners, or some percentage is owned by your people? What percentage of them are destroying crops and who owns those destroying crops?

How do we even know if our own southern cattle owners are not deliberately destroying our crops by sending their Fulani herdsmen to specific farms?

Kaduna1stson:
We will go up north temporarily. We will take all our cows and foodstuffs back to the north.

Will you take your millions of almajiris too?

Henrydonland:
the northerners never thought of this before taking their useless and meaningless actions.

Do they even think? They have cow brain

Kaduna1stson:
We will go up north temporarily. We will take all our cows and foodstuffs back to the north.

That is good. Please take all your workers in NNPC and the sea ports and the military and the police. Otherwise, they will starve to death and it will be ruled a homicide (you killed your brothers)

So how do the northerners living in the south survive the food blockade? This is confusing as there are millions of northerners in the south. Are they also been deprived of tomato, pepper and kpomo by their northern brothers?

This is one of the things APC gave to Nigeria: child voters. At this rate, other parties might as well kiss any national electoral success goodbye. The manipulated voter population by APC and the north means the south and PDP or any other party for that matter will be perennial election ''losers'' in Nigeria

I concur.

Hm!

GetMeRight:
In a country where the enforcement of laws is near 0%! No way! The only reason why daily killings in Nigeria is still relatively low compared to USA is due to the fact that possession of fire arms is illegal. Our institutions are weak, legalising fire arms will bring more killings and destruction than the phantom protection you thought it would give

So what do you do with the illegal - or is is legal - arms paraded about town by Fulani herdsmen?

BlackBaron:
With a high proportion of the country having mental health issues, cult groups, rivalry, tribal clashes.
You're advocating a giant cauldron of violence and death.

All Nigeria needs are strong institutions and well thought solutions should suffice for problems we currently face.

So Fulanis can carry and you cannot?

Ojiofor:
Fulani should be cut to size in Nigeria asap.

100%

In view of the Fulani menace on other Nigerians, would you support legalizing arms in Nigeria for self protection?

We are not coevals

What do you think about this? A little digression.

aribisala0:
We hear all the time that herdsmen dig up people's cassava to feed to their cows.
The question to my mind is what is stopping people in the south from keeping cattle.

There is nothing to say that only Fulani can keep cows

From available evidence they do not even seem to have any scientific understanding of what they are doing

What seems clear is that cows can be raised on cassava.


Cassava is very easy to grow. There is plenty of rain in the south and people have no jobs

The obvious question people will ask is

Where do we get cows from?

Yes a good question

It is not supposed to be easy
but Nigerians are resourceful people

There are so many breeds of cattle that will do well in the south and breeds can be imported or developed

This is what the likes of NDDC and rich states like Delta and and Akwa Ibom should be doing

The truth is the land in the south is blessed and that is why the Fulani covet it.

It is not rocket science.



We have to start somewhere

Best opinion on Nairaland in recent times. Even though your are a madt tribalist , could not agree more with you here.

qwertyboss:
And you think the hausawas will allow their patrons to be ostracized?
Fulani and Hausa are synonymous...
the Hausas are subordinate of the Fulanis

Hausa is being slaughtered by Fulani than any other group. Southern Kaduna comes to mind. They must be mad to continue to be tied to Fulani apron string.

For me, I agree. Fulani should be politically ostracized.

How do we achieve that?

As seen on Facebook. What is your take?

This type of crass hypocrisy is hard to swallow for many Igbos. But regardless, Fulani is a common enemy that must be defeated
