This is a special appeal to the Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma:

Sir, I'm appealing to your good conscience, to stop open grazing in the city of owerri.
One may wonder what informs the decision of herders and their cows, to roam in the most beautiful capital city in Nigeria.

I appreciate your conscientious efforts in developing all zones in Imo State, but you must not lose focus, by paying lip service to the activities of this herders in owerri (the mirror image of Imo).
Constitutionally, the law permits freedom of persons from one point to another, but must not be done in a manner, as to cause injury, pain or loss to persons occupying a particular geographical space.

Finally, as an indigenous Son of Imo State, it is my desire Imo remains a holiday destination and center of economic prosperity.

The real citizens of the federal republic of Nigeria

The rest of us na just passers -by

why is it on frontpage

Seun mynd44 Dominique what's happening to nairaland nau

Is this news

What is wrong with that? Not all Fulani people are wicked. If you’re fortunate enough to meet the kind ones, they might even gift you fresh milk as a gesture of goodwill.

The real issue lies in our tendency to stereotype all Fulani as evil because of the atrocities committed by a few, and this generalization is not only unfair but also ignore the peaceful coexistence of Fulani communities in other parts of West and Central Africa.

Do you know that Fulani constitute a significant population in countries like Senegal, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea-Conakry, Gabon, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and Mauritania? Yet, you rarely hear about ethnic conflicts involving them in these regions.

The Fulani problem appears to be peculiar to Nigeria, and this raises an important question Why is Nigeria different The root of the crisis is due to two major issues:

1. Cattle Rustling in Northern Nigeria In states like Zamfara, Katsina, Sokoto, and Kebbi, the conflict began with Hausa cattle rustlers targeting Fulani herdsmen. This led to a cycle of retaliation, with the Fulani pursuing vengeance against not only the rustlers but also entire communities.

2. Farmers Herders Clashes in Central and Eastern Nigeria. For instance, In Benue, Taraba, and parts of Eastern Nigeria, the problem is different. Here, Fulani cattle often destroy farmers crops, leading to confrontations. When farmers retaliate by harming the cattle or even the herders the Fulani respond with brutal force and aspect of the Fulani is their long memory for grievances; they do not forgive easily and will retaliate no matter how much time has passed.

Sometimes, the locals may have even forgotten the initial offense, but the Fulani will return to settle the score.

I was also told that in the past, if Fulani cattle damaged a farmer’s crops, the victim could report the issue to the Fulani leader Ardo who would ensure fair compensation. This has helped maintain peace before things escalated into the violence we see today.

True, some Fulani groups have indeed been involved in violent acts, but it is important to avoid blanket judgments.

I think knowing the causes rather than outright condemnation of the entire Fulani ethic group is the first step toward finding lasting solutions to the crisis between the locals and Fulanis in some parts of the country.

The Rate of Northern Beggars in anambra state and imo state should be curtailed

They're growing day by day

What's all this nonsense

Sign that Nigeria belongs to stone age.

The owners of the cattle and the government have one thing in common..

yyba:
In Owerri? The cows belongs to beremx. This shouldn't be news na

Who ever owns the cows should get a land for them and not be inconveniencing for his/her own wellbeing. It is rubbish!

yyba:

your brothers are constituting nuisance in the SE. How can someone carry cows and be roaming a whole Owerri capital?
Your shame wear me bra and pant o!!

This country is dieing as day goes by, in an advance country what will even make this to happen at the first place?

They tired of villages now they stroll in the heart of the city very soon dem go enter government house

Which kind violence be this?
Una see Ber.emx dey call am cow.
No be so na.

Open grazing is longer fashionable & practicable.
It should be totally banned in favour of Ranching.

The owners of these cows are the locals. Just that they hire herdsmen to take care of the cows. The best way forward is ranching. If you want to go into the business, rent or buy your own forest or grassland where the animals can be pastured

It can never ever happen in the east.

Dem no born Fulani well to graze cows in the east.

I can't believe that in this century na cow matter we still day battle with

Governor Hopeless Uzodinma's first children....please don't touch them oh, they are first class kids

Keep appealing to the governor.

Even when they kill your people, like the people of Benue and Eha-Lumona, Enugu you will keep appealing.
