A northerner in support of ranching; to give Fulani herdsmen freedom for their cattle to graze in any state in the country, argued that Fulani herdsmen who go to the South in search of food for their cattle are no different from Igbos who go to the north for business. And a Twitter user replied him.

Twitter user Abbas Dangi quoted Prof Ango Abdullahi, saying;
"The land belongs to Nigerians and herders are Nigerians. If an Igbo man can go to the North and set up a business, Why won’t herders go to the South, including your village, to graze their cattle?"

But Nigerian author, Andy Obuoforibo, did not agree that both were the same and pointed out the difference.

He tweeted;
"When the Igbo man goes to Kano to set up shop, does he just enter someone's compound, lay out his electronics, and start selling, and when the owners of the compound try to drive him off, shoot them? No. He rents a shop. He acts like a Nigerian citizen, not an invading outlaw."

We are disappointed in the Prof!

That Prof Ango Abdullahi who is qouted in that tweet is a good example of an educated illiterate.

Many of this Northerners are too close to animals thus they reason alike. People that value the life of animals more than that of humans. I'm not surprised at the "Prof's" thoughts.

aboki people with their lame argument and defense all the time.

Talk more of comparing apple and orange.

Afonjas will support the prof.

Disorder, Mother of Confusion. I have never thought that an ABU Prof can be this mischievously and selfishly uncompromising.

Cow clan?
In as much that we were the first to say what the Prof said was TOTAL rubbish.
We will still like not to be TRIBALISTIC in our judgement.
That is not us.
We can't support calling a whole tribe Cow clan due to the foolishness of just ONE professor.
We won't ever support Cow clan, the same way we will never support hearing Amala clan or Flat head clan etc....
SAY NO TO TRIBALISM!

Wasting their time trying to convince the Biafrans to allow Fulani Colonization of Biafra land.


"....Keep your cows in the North...." Igbos

So because I'm a citizen I can just walk into any man's compound and set up shop? this is crazy. If we can't live together in peace or collaborate to make the country liveable and fair for all, why not separate and go our on ways? .

Afonjas will support the prof.

why the fu*k do you have to put afonjas in this issue,your words are disorganized and filled with Unneccessary rancour,that isn't biafran...
our drive for a seperate nation has passed that state,channel and control your dislike for nigeria....

You don't get it. The story will get no traction unless Afonja is injected to into it.

Christians no try at all.
We should have taken northern evangelism more seriously.
Things would have turned out quite differently.
