Is it time to seriously discuss this?
I'm sure you've read the calls by some personalities to stop eating beef.
The logic is that by eating beef, you provide funding to the herdsmen who then allegedly use the money to arm themselves and kill innocents.
- like using illegal diamonds to fund wars and genocide;
- ‎or selling stolen crude to fund militants.

So, is it time to ban beef from our plates and face chickens, goats, etc?
Or is there an alternative way to EFFECTIVELY proclaim our displeasure to govt?

Let's debate maturedly.

A boycott of cow meat will be a good way to fight back.... But where are the poultry and aquaculture to replace that? A boycott of beef will drive up prices of chicken and fish to astronomical heights if implemented right now so efforrs has to be put in before we can even attempt that.

So anybody who is really angered by this senseless killing and has the means should pls set up poultry and ranches now. Maybe we have to start branding our beef as NIGERIAN RANCHED CATTLE BEEF. I wont mind driving some miles to get that.

With the modus operandi of the Fulani Militias, they can have their ways almost anywhere in Nigeria..... Our security architecture is poo..... Any country that does not have biometric data of ALL its citizens in its database is not serious or ready to provide any meaningful protection or security for its citizenry. What you will get is attack and reactions like we always have


Nigeria left things too late..... Lack of education means Herdsmen does not have common values with the rest of Nigerian. The roam in the wild and experience unimaginable things that has toughen then and remove any spec of human kindness. They live like wild animals for too long despite the civilization going on in the towns and villages.......as pasturalist they just keep roam the bush.


Our lack of vision in Nigeria too has left their occupation so lucrative for generations that we don't have anything to persuade them to leave what they are doing for a 'better' communal or ranching life style. Imagine if with our education and enlightenment, we have set up ranches and made success out of it and drive down the price of cattle or even build a virile export industry around it..... Fulanis would have embrace the improved method of doing things. Boycotting Fulani beef will be a difficult thing cos we rarely agree on anything in Nigeria but imagine a glut in their cattle market.... That can help us to get them to listen to the cry of the civilized populace.

Sadly Nigeria is a forced conjecture and we are not about to agree to forge ahead together..... Leadership is a sham, Buhari kids are citizen of the world, Visa for a common Nigeria youth is a prayer point..... We are not about to build a nation. Not just yet!

you're right in many of the issues u raised.
but people may yet surprise u.
there's still hope, however small it may be.
