A video making rounds on social media captures a tense moment on Abuja’s Umaru Musa Yar’Adua Expressway, where a Fulani herdsman aggressively warned a motorist against filming his cattle.

“Don’t video my cows. You can video me, but don’t ever video my cows next time,” the herdsman declared, asserting that both vehicles and livestock share equal rights to the road.

The confrontation, recorded on camera on Thursday morning, highlights ongoing friction over open grazing in Nigeria’s capital. The herder blamed rural banditry for driving livestock into urban areas, urging authorities to “flush out the bandits in the bush” so herders could return. He argued that his cows are valuable property, just like the driver’s car.

The incident has ignited heated debates online. Many Nigerians expressed frustration over cattle disrupting traffic in a modern city, questioning government inaction on ranching reforms.

This episode underscores a persistent national challenge: the clash between traditional herding practices and urban development. Despite repeated promises from officials to curb open grazing since 2023, cows continue to roam major roads in Abuja, raising safety concerns and testing public patience.As calls for sustainable solutions grow louder, the video serves as a vivid reminder of unresolved tensions that continue to shape everyday life in Nigeria.

How dare you record the Senior Citizen of Nigeria.

Belike to go bush don dy hungry camera man

Na wa ooooooo!!!
The boldness of these people is second to none. Even when a Fulani man isn't the president, they're still bold and fearless like non-virgins who did paternity fraud. The million dollar question is: who dey give these people mind? For non-virgins, I know say na the ignorance of their partners and cost of DNA test dey give Dem mind, but how about these herdsmen?

What do I even know sef aside enlightening my fellow men nationwide with the good news of DNA test

Despite the ruthless act by these Fulanis and the most recent kidnapped of the school children in Ogbomosho.

No one seems bold enough to tame these people. They are appeared so powerful.

The US government gave an indicting reports that just 30,000 of them are terrorizing Nigerians. Yet no one is bold enough to take it up from there .
We know Buhari gave them a free confidence to ravage Nigeria, but is PBAT afraid to look there vote, that is why he can't act.

Am afraid if Nigeria votes another Fulani president. They will openly declare war against other ethnic

Their regular trademark. Until someone serious takes over the leadership of this country.

The owners of the country has spoken...

See the effrontery. Instead of addressing the madness of cows roaming major roads in a supposed modern capital city, he’s confidently talking about “rights” for cows on expressways. This is exactly how abnormal things have been normalized in Nigeria.

Why recording his cows??
Let live together in peace 🕊️🙏

Fulanis are first class citizens of Nigeria, that's why they feel they can do anything.

Content creation will send people to their early graves. He who has two ears should hear word.

This matter go long ohhh

How did this even happened in the first place. Immigrants from other countries, come into Nigeria and be flexing muscles with the landlords.

just imagine the audacity he has in his statement, Nigeria a sorry nation...

You are a coward. Are animals supposed to be roaming the city. While I understand he is scared of bandits in the bush, two wrongs don’t make a right.

I love how fluent and bold the Fulani guy is but still his people are still acting archaic

It looks like the cameraman is new to Abuja

When a usually tough politician like Nyesom Wike doesn't have the courage to cage these fulani herdsmen embarrassing the whole country with their uncontrolled cow parade on major thoroughfares and roads in the Capital, what do you expect from poor farmers in unpoliced rural communities in the country?

Only the creation of state police will put a stop to this jihadist terrorists using cows as objects of misdirection in their genocide against Christians with covert support of Islamists in the middle east.

It is finished, the audacity of these criminals is unbelievable

In big 2026. Are you people cursed

Even with antigrazing law5.... We aren't just serious.... What does it really take to enforce it legally.... Is normadism really that important or vital? Will these people accept it if pig farmers also start taking their pigs around in the north?
