Ridiculous right, wait and let me explain You see those abattoirs in Southern part of Nigeria, the owners don't mostly buy cows everyday, they have cows in both North and South that the herders( Herdsmen) are looking after for them. They only give them money and expect whatever it takes to keep their cows for them. If you see some herders all away from North settling down in any forest in southern part of Nigeria, they are mostly invited by the owners of the cow . Why can't those who are into cow business from Southern part of Nigeria build ranches for their cows, that would avoid the unnecessary clashes of the herders and the farmers. Cows sometimes don't hear payan, not much the herders can do in controlling the cows during grazing |

😂 So this is the latest propaganda and misinformation from your WhatsApp group. It's is no more deforestation of the Sahel and search for pasture. It's is the southerners inviting them ! |

helinues:So this is your reason why Herdsmen move around with guns, kill people in mass numbers, burn down communities and rape women? Dude, Herdsmen have been moving with their cows all around Nigeria for years without issue. The problem started when they began to acquire guns and cutlasses which they now use to act with impunity, destroy people's farmlands and burn down their communities. |

Unbiased1:Whose cows are they protecting? Who provided them with those guns and ammunitions? Remember they are only herders looking after some people's cow. |

overall90:If you are truly from southern part of Nigeria, then shun those petty thing you wrote above and let's discuss something affecting us all sincerely without being political or emotional |

helinues:Can you provide any evidence to backup your claim that southerns are responsible for providing the weapons the herders use in southern Nigeria? These are herders who have been seen by community people marching their cows from Benue towards communities in Enugu. |

Unbiased1:Let's be logical with this discussion. You want herders to look after your cow for you. If you employ a security as a gateman in your house, you are employing the person to do whatever it takes to protect and secure your house. You either provide money or the resources |

overall90:no be small whatsapp group propaganda...Now blaming south south. Like say Southwest/East no get owners of cows. This is very far from the cause of the herdsmen violent. Across west africa fulani guys are known for moving around with cows. |

Even in Enugu, most of the cattle if not all you see moving in the bushes are all owned by people from the state. So if you hear people shout about the invasion of their farms by the Fulanis, it will look like these people came all the way from the north with their cattle. Most of those cattle are owned by people from the area where the herder operate. They only employ Fulanis to look after their cattle. So, If there is an attack by the Fulanis, the owners of these cattle have questions to answer. We cant continue to be silent in that regard. |

Herders have always been carrying cattle and moving across Nigeria since time immemorial without skirmishes since I was born, but if we all are looking for when the devil entered into their affairs then look no further than when the below statement was made . . . "The dogs and baboons will be soaked in blood" That was APC'S Buhari, in 2015 when he invited fula from the sahel to come and mingle with the ones already here to soak some places with their blood . . . Since that day nigerians have never seen peace from herdsmen. So who is really to blame? Your guess is as good as mine ![]() APC must GO |

helinues:Tinubu has kickstarted Ranches. Both the killer herdsmen and their promoters will soon be caged. When Ranches become operational and State Police which are presently being finalised also becomes operational, then anyone seen with Cattle’s anywhere outside the Ranches will be shot at sight by State Police. Any State that still lives Cattle’s roaming its streets can continue |

helinues:Truth. But people don't like to hear this The farmer herder clash is very complicated. But most people like to paint it one sided |
| Re: Southerners Are The One Causing Herdsmen Crisis In Southern Nig by allthingsgood: 9:30am On Jun 29, 2025 |
jahsharon:This is just an empty emotional statement that has no bearing with reality. How can you weaponize state police to shoot people at sight Where is that done? And what makes you think the so called state police won't start using the same weapons to settle personal scores and kill political enemies Make Una de think we'll. Not everything based on emotions |

Very ridiculous logic. Turning round to blame the victim instead of the perpetrator. Now imagine if the OP were to be a policy maker... you'd now understand why the country is like this. |

Biqsahm:Bro, the herders don't have that guts of coming all away from North and settle down at any forest in Southern Nigeria. They must have been invited. Even when they sometimes have issue with the farmers, it's still the people they are working for that normally protect them from persecution |
| Re: Southerners Are The One Causing Herdsmen Crisis In Southern Nig by Nobody: 10:15am On Jun 29, 2025 |
This is not how it is sir. When herders move into any community with their own cows, they entice prominent people and anyone who looks friendly in those communities to acquire cows and keep with them. Sometimes the herders offer free cows to these village heads and prominent people. Then they ask these indigenes for grazing land. After a while they begin to romance the local women and entice them with money. Many get pregnant. Eventually they start to misbehave. This method was used effectively in Okunland, Kogi state, Oro Ago in Kwara and other Yoruba communities.

mrrandomguy:Bro , even before I was born, we have been having the Northerners in my village, they don't just come and go, they settle permanently by having their own space. Not a single event between herders and farmers till today. I have references of other close bye villages. The current set of herders that are causing trouble are those who was invited anonymously by those who are into cow business in Southern Nigeria. |

helinues:So what have herding of cows get to do with the genocide going on in Benue, Plateau and other states in Nigeria? |

The ones in your community will start dragging rights with you in future and all hell will be let loose if you refuse. Fulani have 5 jamba. They used only one to capture Ilorin. Seriki Saliu in Igangan Oyo state was not invited by anyone. We all know that story. helinues: |
