Lagos state actually bought about 50 of our Fulani roaming cattle and treated them on proper feed in a stable setting like livestock in developed nations. A year later, other Fulani where amazed and wanted to know where this special looking well fed breed came from. The feedlot told them , we brought them from your Fulani brothers. Unbelievable. Well done 👍🏻 Lagos State.

The best feed for cows is grass.

Those feed that fatten cows are mostly not healthy, especially for human consumption.

Grass-fed beef is the best actually.

Nigeria dey complain say low milk yield.

Sounds good in theory
How do you prove this
What is the objective measure of HEALTHY

It is easy to throw words around but in science you have to define and measure EVERYTHING

Like what is GRASS?

There are so many plant species called GRASS as to make that assertion meaningless

Cows can do well on a mix of foods like yam maize cassava carrots sugarcane leaves of specific trees and so on

To declare grass as BEST needs something more than feelings

No cow good for wakajugbe.
Na primitive method of animal husbandry.
If cow dey ranch dey chop belle full with short distance movement around.
E go produce high yield milk and meat.
Wakawaka dey contribute to low yield of milk and meat

this cows no different from those bororos wey dey naija na

Must all cows be for husbandry?

Some cows are tourists

Leave story

So all the the cows that are first class citizens in this country no dey perform reach their Kenyan counterparts.

Just 50? Who much is the cost?

Please don't make racist and tribalistic comment

oga, they are just breeders

Kwara state did something similar between 2009/2010 by bringing diary cows to Songa farms from Zimbabwe during ABS tenure, the project got off to a good start but I can't say the same after the government of ABS . I hope these goes well especially because of the huge investments made by the government of the day on this project because we are not used to this kind of venture in NG.

These Cows don enter plane before some people.. Nawaoo

so enterimg plane(aeroplane) is now an achievement? It is not the plane but what you are entering to go and achieve that's the koko. Thats the mistake motivating many people today. Material things and not value-addition.

Hunger will soon kill them.

That good. Africa must become self sufficient..

WizardOfNG:
Reportage says the Cows landed in Lagos. Would be interesting to know where they will be domiciled and bred 🤔

I say this because the brigandage of Southern Nigeria by the North, over livestock and crop agriculture, is now a weaponized tool of political power play and blackmail Southern leaders need to extricate themselves from..

Most people don't know this agricultural cold war, between the North and South, is part of what is responsible for huge inflation related to foodstuff.

I can only commend this if it is part of an effort to see the South develop her livestock agricultural food sufficiency.

Better so that fulani herdsmen madness will reduce,if all southern governors decided to involve in animal production,Fulani will not see money to fund jihad.

If not for the forced union, I see no reason why one region will be holding down the destiny of other regions!
Any region can easily trade with other countries that have competitive advantage of trade on products they need.

Where are the cows going - personal farm, diary company or where

Ministry of agriculture keep mute

Yamayama country

No, just zero. Some of you just use Nairaland as a place to comment irresponsibly? Unfortunately it’s social media and there is no way to ask for your educational qualification before you are permitted to speak here.

Cows without passport don fly plane b4 me, na wa oo,life no balance. Muuuuuuuu

What is your own definition of grass

Hay, straw, silage

You can't call them all grass

Yet our clowns up north are still killing people for their good for nothing cows

That why I hate Monopoly!
If Lagos, Ogun, Oyo and other southwest border states can enter official trade agreement with Benin republic, the North will seat up.

This is nice...! Well done, Kenya.

So, other than crude oil, what exactly do we export that makes us Billions of Naira every year?!!


I mean... You can't be resource-rich yet can't build a stable economy on Exports.

The senior citizens from Kenya flying first-class to meet their counterparts in Nigeria.

I prophecy that these senior citizens will own properties in Lekki, already ranches are being built all round the country to accommodate them. These ranches will be in city centres off course.

Prepare to be boarded!!

You sure you are okay? Why dont you pertinently contribute to the topic under discussion here and then bring your Obi defence noise on a thread where such is actually relevant?

Anyway, good to know my criticism of your gbajue messiah is really peppering some of you. Have a nice weekend. 😎

You think cows are like mobile phone accessories that you can ship into the country at once in thousands?

Lol..Sharp response. Understand your motivation sha because some comments are so nonsensical they make you wonder "what da fck?" or "this is coming from an adult mind?". 😅

You raise some good points. In fact it is the issue of competitive advantage that saw the South cede livestock agriculture and animal husbandry, related to Cattle etal, to the North wholly.

That now has to stop because there is nothing the North is not using mlalevolently today to blackmail the South over political power.

It is however not right to ignore livestock from the North and import. That is an act of agressjon no President, however well-meaning, will look good enacting.

What would be a good solution would be for the South to engage in livestock and crop agriculture to secure food sufficiency.

That would be a development the North would not be able to criticise publicly because it remains the prerogative of the South to engage in commercial livestock and food crop agriculture to feed the people in the region since the North wishes to use her monopoly of those malevolenty.

What is shown below is from 2021 and I am personally exasperated it takes Southern Leaders so long, after the North has openly put them on notice, to act and secure solutions against food war they know the North will always deploy against the South as the main tool of blackmail she has..

Everything always takes ages because of the lack of focua and application of Nigerian leaders.

https://www.icirnigeria.org/food-insecurity-blockade-by-north-forces-south-to-rethink-agriculture/

During the blockade embarked on by northern traders under the aegis of the Amalgamated Union of Foodstuffs and Cattle Dealers of Nigeria (AUFCDN), staple food items such as beef and vegetables, including tomatoes and onions, became scarce in the South, leading to an astronomical rise in the cost of foodstuffs.
