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.

Honestly, the way these people talk and behave, you would never believe they are the same people that consume the same cattle they hate so much, from the northerners they detest so much.

It’s a real contradiction.

Ask them to produce their own meat now, and they will be staring at you like Dundee Uniteds.

ComeToJesus:
Uzodinma's cousins

APC is a cow party, so I'm not surprised. That broom on their logo only represent their witchcraft side.

That Biafran region is a Zoo, so cows are free to roam around.

My guyz told me that in Festac Town in Amiwo odofin LGA in Lagos.

Cows eat the grass opposite the LGA.

Same in lekki axis and badagry is already conquered.

jmoore:
Sign that Nigeria belongs to stone age.

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

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 overlooks 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 understanding the underlying 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.

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