The farmers herdsmen conflict ends when state policing Begins. by Blue3k(op):
In the next 5 years state policing will be passed into law. States that have already banned open grazing will enforce their laws. More states will ban open grazing in the south. The federal government in an effort to be neutral on the issue won't accept herdsmen in their jails since it doesn't violate federal law. The states enforcing open grazing laws will be first to establish their own prisons.

The herdsmen will eventually have to establish Ranches up north. They will ship the beef south via rail or trucks. The herdsmen will become settled and their culture will change as a result.

Ps: Check in 5 years and let me know I'm wrong.

It's not going to be as easy as that. Setting up a ranch is not cheap. Also, the nomadic life of the herdsman is all he knows. Telling such a person to settle down in one locality is not going to go down well with someone who has practiced such life for centuries

Also, the herdsman are armed with automatic guns. If state Police are not armed to that level, forget it

How do you predict it's going to end? My scenario doesn't assume it's going to be peaches and cream. It doesn't have to be cheap or easy. I don't assume it will be the same poor herdsmen establishing the Ranches. Other entrepreneurs will invest if there's money to be made.

It doesn't have to go down well. The jails are there for them if they cause trouble. Nobody is going to tell them to settle down. If they're nomadic to herd cattle when that option is gone they will have to change eventually. Nothing is stopping states from buying automatic weapons. Lol if they want to battle to the death with the new state police governor might have to start signing death Warrants again. That would be great 👍.

It's simply going to end in Bloodshed !!! The truth is that our leaders are still not ready to tackle the issue realistically !!!
This people must be stopped from destroying farms and killing people all over Nigeria.
One day !! Will be One day !!! And that Bloody day will surely come !!!

Do you believe the status quo will remain after the bloodshed? I believe things will different when states have a police force. They will have an incentive to fight crime. I could be wrong they could be equally lazy and inept like federal cops setting up Check points to extort motorists .

I implied but didn't directly state that I believe the Federal open grazing bill will fail. I would like it to succeed, but I don't think it will go anywhere. If it passes into law the federal government will imprison herdsmen. Who knows what the incentive will be for states to build prisons if the federal government doesn't stop accepting state law offenders.

But setting u business is cheap?
Are cows cheap?

You can get a hectare in kano, zamfara and the rest for 20% the price of a cow... 20 hectares can carry 200 cows If well managed

State government move extremely slow when they have to foot the bill. Just look at state prisons or minimum was. Not one state has implemented state prisons because the Federal government hasn't forced the issue. The states will likely drag their feet or just rely on Federal police because of the wage bill.

Lol Tinubu expands the government yet again creating the federal ministry of cattle. Its doubtful he's going to ban open grazing. The only way this ends is state policing, prisons and bans on opening grazing. There's no federal government solution to this issue.

4.5 years left for this prediction.
Re: The farmers herdsmen conflict ends when state policing Begins. by Blue3k(op): 2:40pm On Jun 18, 2025
4 years left on the prediction. Tinubus reckless response to the Benue slaughters show there's no federal solution. Policing has to be decentralized and then law and order will start.

Alot of states are uninterested in Ruga or what ever they call it nowadays. The Herdsmen have killed all their goodwill years ago. The second state police go into effect the populace should demand governor state implementing capital punishment for anyone convicted of these murders.
