Is it a requirement to wear the hijab in the US? No. She has the right to not wear it. Is it a requirement for him to give her the interview? No. He has the right to not show up. Is it he who wanted the interview?... or is it she? She. So who is the loser? She shot herself in the foot. She craved for the opportunity to be the first to interview an Iranian President on American soil and lost it because she refused to wear a scarf.

There is a time and place for everything.

If she wanted to show support for the Iranian women protesting against the wearing of hijab ... this was not the time nor the place for her to do it.

Na cave u dey live. Christine Amanpour has interviewed former Iranian Presidents on USA soil without wearing any head scarf. This one is just trying to score cheap political point based on what's going on in Iran.

Beverlyjean:
I read the news yesterday... I understood every situation and I still stand by the Iranian president...Amanpour is trying to play smart ... there is a situation in his country right now concerning this same Hijab ...and u want to interview him concerning the same Hijab without wearing one ...dont forget that CNN called for the interview and not the president... if they were not having the protests presently , he wudnt mind if u wear a Hijab or not to interview him...

Iranian President is not smart. Nobody cared about the CNN interview until the issue of amanpour wearing hijab came up.
Now global spotlight will be on the ongoing protest in Iran where a woman was killed in police custody for not wearing hijab. Everybody will know about it and the negative impression of hijab as a tool of oppression will be globally reinforced.

Emperor Xi don use this one chop breakfast. He don take am shine to Chinese people to promote his anti corruption propaganda.
Don't be fooled, it's all about his third term agenda. He's getting rid of those communist official who are against his ambition.

You are wrong!

The largest global transaction is FX followed by oil and gas.

Russia cut off gas and oil support across Europe and the entire world has collapse into a global recession. Commodities are still the main driver of world economies

Gas and oil already has its day and will soon lose relevance. Maybe in another decade or two.
Six millions electric cars were sold last year out of 69 million, that was 10 percent of all cars.
Commodities will always be relevant but it had never brought prosperity to any African country despite huge commodity export yearly.
Tech and manufacturing are major sectors that can reduce unemployment significantly on the continent. Unfortunately we can't compete with the Asians when it comes to manufacturing, it only makes sense to leverage on tech. Enough about this commodity export.

Gourdoinc:
there is no much future in tech like you presume. the next 30 years will show that. if you are wise and want relevance, always stick to anything human-centric. technology changes, humans never change. health will continue to worsen as we move into the future, go and get involved in health related domains with a focus on mitigation and care and you will have a future everyone will envy. leave the Fad called tech, it doesn't hold as much water as people ascribe it.

Tech is the future. It has what it takes to turn around the fortune of a whole nation. Indians are the highest paid nationals in America because of tech. Go to Google, Microsoft, Amazon...they plenty die. These are jobs that pay over 100 thousand dollars. There are millions of Indians in IT industry yet the field isn't saturated.

African countries should focus on tech and leverage on it. Outsourcing of tech jobs is the next big thing as the globalisation surge. Nothing as sweet as earning in dollars and spending in naira. Ask yahoo boiz.
Just imagine if millions of those yahoo boys actually go into tech. That's a big plus for our nation.
Nigerians leaders are just stupid and myopic. They lack sense.

Slynation:
So Oga defender, why did the same Superiority complex played in Joe biden's motorcade...??

Joe biden was given waiver due to security risk. All dignitaries had been informed a week prior that they will travel on bus. It was even in the news. They also told them not to travel by private jet but commercial airplane.
Those who had issues regarding security would have approached the organising committee for waiver or stay away if it wasn't granted.

Btw, who's interested in killing useless African leaders, na useless things like motorcade una go dey show strength.
Power the continent with abundant solar energy in the Sahara desert. Build gigafactories for electric batteries with abundant lithium and cobalt on African soil; then u can show face, until then they should enter bus.
U guys should know that the world doesn't care about your self esteem, the world expect u to achieve something first b4 feeling good about yourself. Know this and know peace.

It's quite obvious this guy is not intelligent. His communication skill and oratory prowess is really below par. But in the midst of a blind community, the partially blind will be king.

Slynation:
Please, we are talking of Presidents not fingers...

And what's wrong in presidents taking a bus. That s what u lots cannot explain. Ego, pride, arrogance, superiority complex.
The only acceptable explanation is security, anything else is stupid. Presidents don't have 2 heads, they should take the bus or stay away.

seunny4lif:
Turkey Pres rejected the offer because of UK gov said, No special treatment anyone yet same UK gov welcome UAE leader and co with massive special treatment
UAE buys almost 1M barrel of Russia oil everyday yet he came to the palace with his own escort.
India PM not the president was invited but rejected to come because of same reason Turkey president rejected the offer and it got noting to do with Russia relationship.
Mind, you Japan have increased her imports of Russia gas by over 300% since May and same Japan want to get massive deal from Russia gas pipeline deal.
Italy imports more oil from Russia than since war broke out.
Spain and Finland are now one of the largest importers of Russia LNG gas.

Let's drop this argument, there's nothing wrong entering a bus an African leader. Are we not the ones always praising European leaders for riding bicycle to work.
Let us get African leaders to develop the continent, that should be our priority for now, not their mode of transport when invited as foreign dignitaries.
I repeat, there's nothing wrong being conveyed by bus.

owobokiri:
The most painful and annoying part of this very bill is the fact that it was initiated by an African American! African Americans are being used to fool Africans as it regards the true imports of Americas policies in the continent. The Susan Rice them , who came here and poisoned Abiola for fun. Africans need to understand that most of these black Americans in power are desperate to be known as not having anything to do with the continent. But our people are always welcoming them naively with open arms. This very law might mark the beginning of a second recolonization of the continent. This is so because Obama has already fixed Americas military basis around several African countries without much noise.

Africans need to start being warry of these African American politicians. When Obama became a senator, the first thing he did was to call for sanctions against Nigeria for harbouring Charles Taylor! On the surface, it looked like they were doing the right thing by going after a very bad war criminal,. But what Obama was doing is akin to what Hope Uzodimma is doing at Imo State today; sell off your kind to buy favor from the power brokers. And he was determined to do it by humiliating the most populated black nation on earth. Obasanjo reacted angrily to Obamas motion but ended up finding ways to force Charles Taylor out just to avoid a confrontation with the West over a liability.

Taylor was Evil but there was a reason he was brought to Nigeria. Dude was refusing to leave Liberia and this was prolonging the war there. Nigeria had to make a categorical promise to him in front of other ECOWAS states that he will be given a safe heaven and will never be tried. Obasanjo did this after consulting world and regional powers. But once he was here at Calabar, a freshman "African American" US senator with vaulting ambitions decided to use that to prove a point. He didn't care if Liberia goes back to war, neither did he worry about this move undermining Nigerias ability to mediate in similar regional conflicts in the future. That Obama attack on Nigeria proved his willingness to "defend" the Western interest in Africa and most probably helped him climb up the ladder in Americas national politics.

I never liked Obama. He had a racist, prejudicial and negative stereotypical mindset of Africa.
The first thing he did when he became president was to call for sanction against African nations that are has anti-homosexual laws. He even threatened to cancel their useless aids to such countries if they don't repeal the laws.
Most African Americans behave arrogantly when abroad and display the superior elitism Americans are known for overseas.
See how this one was attacking Putin about incarceration of political opponents when African Americans has the worst incarceration rate in the world.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEBYU1aGXMA

America keeps eroding her already weaning global influence by implementing stupid policies.

The fall out of sanctions on Russia never taught them a lesson but now pushing for more sanctions on Africa.
They will simply push Africa into the arms of voracious China. What's in crude pipeline that China cannot construct cheaper and faster.

BABANGBALI:
you still haven't answered the question. All you said were just assumptions.

The spirit of Jesus is the fullness of Godhead in flesh manifesting as Son of God. So Jesus correctly identified as God. John 1.14, Col 1.19-20, Col 2.9-10
That doesn't mean heaven was vacant while Jesus was here on earth. God existed in heaven and Jesus called him his father and humbled himself before him as a Son would do to his father. Phil 2.6-11, heb 2.5-9

Every man has the spirit of God, does that mean there's no God in heaven?

When Jesus died, the Godhead departed from him just like it will be for every man and returned to the Father who gave it. Luke 23.46, Eccl 12.7.

Nosayer:
One thing I know is that without Christianity, I would have rebelled against traditional gods.

I haven't seen anywhere else people bribe their gods to destroy the lives of their neighbors because he is doing better than them.

And I'm not pro-Nollywood, I'm talking based on experience.

Meanwhile, it's vanity to argue Christianity with non-christians except they have s very objective mind.

People will ignore the obvious and go for sentiments and emotions. Argument can't make you experience God, revelation does.

U talking from ignorance. U confusing diabolical practice with spiritualism.
Diabolical practice exist in Christianity and Islam. Who do u think performs rituals for most yahoo guys in Ilorin?

BABANGBALI:
super trash

It's not for u to understand but to know where Christian got the doctrine.
The things of God are foolishness for those who have refused to believe.

BABANGBALI:
how can you say it was God that came in human form? If it was God that can in human form? Who then was talking when Jesus was baptized " this is my begotten son, with whom I'm well pleased?" and who was Jesus talking to when he was about to be crucified " Father take this cup away from me.............." abi how him take talk am sef?

Go and read about about tripartite man b4 yarning nonsense.
Man is a spirit, he has a soul and lives in a body. The spirit of man is the spirit of God deposited in him. God made man in his own image, which is the spirit.
The spirit of Jesus was the fullness of Godhead in human flesh.
That doesn't mean heaven was vacant or God died. When the flesh dies, the spirit returns to God who gave it. Jesus said the same thing on the cross.
Enough of all these bait like questions.

Voldoz:
She is just chasing after clouts go through Nigerian history well you will know the whites saved us from some of our barbaric culture.

Pls be specific which tribe the white man saved.
Thanks

Blessedmercy8:
I never said that. There must be a reason she's always too tired for it which the op already mentioned that it all started after their first child. You think it's easy to cater for those children that can be a handful most times and still have the stamina to come and be having sex everyday?

It's easy for the Op to be talking like this because his own is only to go to work and come back to already set home and meal. Only the woman will do all that. Abeg it's not easy.

Sorry, but what u wrote here is nonsense.

[quote author=thebosstrevor1 post=116524939][/quote]I wonder how someone would believe his ancestors never wore clothes until the British arrive. What a dumb.
Anyway, don't ever again throw shade to the Yoruba civilisation. It was well established and thriving before any white man appeared. We even made cosmetic products like soap and exported or to Americas.

I will continue to knock sense into your empty skull.

https://theyoruba./2015/11/17/yoruba-textile-history/

Between the African history of Egyptians splendidly attired in flowing robes and some modern day African cultures which have either dispensed completely with wearing clothes or likely have never worn them, where did the Yoruba of old fall?

Yoruba culture has a textile history dating back as far as documented history of foreigners’ visits to Yorubaland exists. in other words, none of the accounts in history mention unclothedness among the Yoruba as a norm. So, as far back as the 1400s at least, Yoruba have been manufacturing ( and wearing) indigenous fabric.

Here are 10 facts about Yoruba textiles:

Kijipa

Kijipa is the earliest known indigenous Yoruba fabric
Kijipa which had a rough texture, was made of raw hand spun cotton
Kijipa was woven on indigenous narrow and wide looms
Kijipa was beige in colour, which faded into white with regular washing, but it was sometimes dyed in indigo for practical and aesthetic purposes
Kijipa was a work fabric for every day living worn by men and women alike
Adire

Adire is indigo resist dyed cotton cloth that has been made by Yoruba women for generations
Adire resist-dyeing involves creating a pattern by tying away designed parts of the fabric with raffia or coating with starch to prevent them absorbing dye.
Adire was originally used to beautify Kijipa fabric, later imported cotton fabric was used
Adire patterns were once a mode of story telling via fabrics
Each authentic Adire pattern has a meaning , interpretation or proverb behind it


And finally, the popular Aso Oke. Aso Oke is a hand loomed cloth woven by the Yoruba people of western Nigeria.- Wikipedia.

heykims:
Judging with the way this story is narrated, this op himself is a gossiper..

I agree, seem him sef dey enjoy the gist.
Someone said that somebody said that another person said that the other person said that....na so gossip dey be.

And what the op wrote look exactly same. I can't even decipher who said what in the story.

FYI Cotton development in Nigeria started in 1903, while the first commercial production was in 1939/40
https://www.yieldinitiatives.com/history-of-cotton

Explain this comment from my article otherwise shut up.
In any case, by the time European navigators and merchants began to frequent this part of the Guinea Coast in the 1490s, the Benin area was noted as a place where cotton cloths could be purchased at inland markets. In the year 1505, for example, one Portuguese merchant stationed at the trading post of Ughoton purchased over 1800 locally woven cotton cloths, using them to clothe slaves, make ship’s awnings, and exchange for gold on the Gold Coast.

Nigerians were naked until 1903, arindin.

This are pictures of Yoruba warriors taken in the 1870s.
I guess they wore leaves because according to some morons, Nigerians were naked until British developed cotton farms in the north in 1903.

thebosstrevor1:
to you an half baked intellectual

Ajami is an Arabic script, not a Yoruba script that is why it was popular among Muslims

Ajami script is also used in Hausa

you can see the ajami script in our 200 hundred naira

So u finally agreed writing was established b4 arrival of white man in Nigeria. Hausa people wrote, Yoruba people wrote, then what's your argument?
U are a senseless troll.

thebosstrevor1:
Nigeria is filled with half-baked intellectuals like you who go about posting links of irrelevant things just to make themselves feel important. it is just embarrassing

from the link you posted, this was written in the first paragraph. i am sure you failed to read them.

‘Guinea cloth’ is a term conventionally used in reference to plain white, loom-patterned, or
piece-dyed cotton textiles that were important commodities in the “hidden half” of the
Atlantic slave trade.1
Known also by various names given to different types of these cloths –
names such as brawles, capperees, chelloes, hussanees, and pautkas – [b]they were woven in India and
shipped to Europe to be re-exported by slave traders to Africa’s Guinea Coast and to the
West Indies.2
Then, with the development of industrial production of cotton textiles in
Europe, ‘Guinea cloths’ were made there in imitation of the Indian goods.[/b]

https://www.yieldinitiatives.com/history-of-cotton

U are just a shameless troll without any dignity. An article compared imported fabrics to locally made ones in ancient Africa and u talking nonsense.
I guess u didn't see where benin people exported their cotton clothes.
U ve been completely destroyed on this thread. What u need to do is either run away in shame or apologise and retract your stupid ignorant comments.

What u need to do to stay relevant here is to bring article that said Africans wore no cotton clothes until the arrival of British or u shut up.

If Uju Anya gets away lightly with such distasteful and inappropriate comment, then no African should complain when foreigners in eminent positions makes political incorrect statement about africa.

Trump was attacked for calling Buhari lifeless, Africa a shit hole and telling Americans from 3rd world nations to go back to their shit hole and develop it. His comments were deleted on twitter numerous times because it was deemed offensive to minorities.

Whether we like it or not, someone in the position of Uju cannot afford to make careless statement, she has a reputation to protect and has to be politically correct. She must learn to word her statement in non offensive manner.
That's the price for being a scholar in a top university, she should leave crude talks and unguarded comments on social media to commoners.

I agree africa has no business mourning the queen. Colonial Britain did horrible things to Africa but they left more than 60 yrs ago. We cannot continue to look for who to blame for our woes. The queen is not responsible the terrible state of the Nigeria, blame your useless leaders.

Aso oke is made from cotton, when did cotton came to africa?

I have explained myself about Ajayi crowder and yoruba grammar.

Stop gaslighting and answer the question.

Ajami script isn't yoruba but arabic

I see you don't have any clue about anything, that is why you spent all your time not answering the question i asked but ranting.

I know you will too lazy to read the article in that link so I will post some excerpts here.
https://www.joycerain.com/uploads/2/3/2/0/23207256/guinea_cloth.pdf

archeological eidence of cotton production in pre-colonial africa:
Direct evidence of cotton shows up in the archaeological record starting in the 10th century CE. Recent archaeological work yielded over 500 cotton seeds and over 1000 seed fragments at the site of Dia, in the upper Niger region. Some seeds, along with several small spindle whorls (similar to those designed specifically for spinning cotton) were found at levels dating to the last century of the first millennium, which makes them the oldest cotton remains found in West Africa.

Linguisitic evidence of cotton production in pre-colonial africa:
Linguistic evidence suggests that the knowledge and cultivation of cotton was disseminated and encouraged along trans sahara trade routes, by Muslims who spoke Africanized dialects of Arabic.
All of this evidence fits well alongside geographic accounts written in Arabic, which mention cotton clothing being worn in West African towns from at least the 11th century onward. One such account, compiled in 1068, described the weaving of cotton cloth in Takrur (astride the Senegal River), with many houses reportedly having their own “cotton tree.” So although the precise origins of cotton in Africa are elusive, it appears that a variety of Old World cotton was being cultivated (probably as a perennial) in sub-Saharan West Africa by the second millennium.

Description of aso oke production:
Another important textile producing area was taking shape before the 15th century in the lower Niger region, though in this case relying on a very different textile technology. The loom stood vertically, and the shedding device had to be operated with the hands rather than
the feet.

Pre colonial Africans even sold and exported their cotton clothes to european merchants:
In any case, by the time European navigators and merchants began to frequent this part of the Guinea Coast in the 1490s, the Benin area was noted as a place where cotton cloths could be purchased at inland markets. In the year 1505, for example, one Portuguese merchant stationed at the trading post of Ughoton purchased over 1800 locally woven cotton cloths, using them to clothe slaves, make ship’s awnings, and exchange for gold on the Gold Coast.

This guy continues to embarass himself with his ignorance on african history. when did cotton arrive africa!!!!
cotton was probably domesticated in sudan region 5000 yrs ago. The whole of sene-gambia river territory had cotton farms by 1000 AD.
Go thru the link below an come back to apologise not only to me but your ancestors for ignorantly making a fool of them

https://www.joycerain.com/uploads/2/3/2/0/23207256/guinea_cloth.pdf

Its funny how you try to invalidate the effort of Yorubas/Africans to write in a borrowed script- ajami but see nothing wrong in British people writing in a borrowed scripts. whether its ignorance or mental slavery, I dont know but u will do well to study the history of writing system.

No western european nation including the English had any indigenous writing system, they all copied from the Latin alphabet when they were colonised by the Roman empire. Prior to that, they never wrote.
writing was invented independently in mesopotamia and china. all other writing system copied/was influenced by those 2 writing system.

thebosstrevor1:
Aso oke is made from cotton and when did you think cotton was introduced into Africa?

i am sure you must have gone to copy and paste from Wikipedia because I know you to be a coconut head

now let's get the fact right.

Samuel Ajayi was saved by a British patrol, patrolling the sea in search of slaves ships, he was rescued and sent to Freetown,
Samuel Ajayi studied in England, thanks to the British
Samuel ajayi used English vowels and a lot of borrowed calques from English to make his yoruba grammar

My simple question to you?

How come nobody could form the Yoruba alphabet and grammar structure before Samuel Ajayi got educated in England?

2. The Ajami script you are bragging about isn't indigenous to Yoruba land. the Hausa and Swahili people also used it, it was just an Arabic script used by the Arabs to write African languages. the ajami script is also on the coat of arm of the Nigerian army.

the technology of the white man is more convenient, if the white man hasn't arrived, they would have been using the same method till today.

i will advise you to stop babbling, English is the official language of Nigeria because Nigeria was colonized by the British, so stop gaslighting, we are talking about Nigeria not English as a global language.

See this one wants to tell me about Aso oke. Go and do more research on the cloth and come back to engage me. U can start with this.

ASO-OKE, THE TRADITIONAL MATERIAL MAKING A VERY MODERN COMEBACK
Words by Elaine Okoye


Aso-Oke is the short version of the more formal Aso Ilu Oke which roughly translates to ‘clothes from the up-country’. It is the traditional wear of the Yoruba tribe who originate from the south-west of Nigeria. They are the second largest tribe in the Nigeria and Aso-oke is often worn as a celebration cloth on special occasions and important events.

Aso-oke is a special hand-woven cloth and over centuries has become somewhat of the style marker of the Yoruba tribe. It was said to have been created in Yorubaland around the 15th century and since then spread around the land and its environs.


https://www.onchek.com/theinsight/asooke-the-traditional-material-making-a-very-modern-comeback/

I don't understand the epistle u writing on ajayi crowther and ajami script.
So what exactly is your point. Every civilization copy from another. English copied from Roman, Roman copied from Greek, Greeks copied from Phoenicians, Phoenicians copied from earlier mesopotamian civilisation.

U made some bogus claim and I debunked it.

U said British brought clothes for Africans. I debunked it by proving Yoruba were making clothes b4 coming in contact with colonialist.

U claimed British taught us how to write. I proved that Yoruba people already developed their own writing system before coming in contact with British.

U claimed an unknown British linguist developed the romanised Yoruba system of writing. I proved that wasn't true. A Yoruba man developed it.

Now u babbling about English language. We learning with English is borne out of necessity. If we want to abandon it, we will. Rwanda changed their official language from Belgian to English despite it was colonised by Belgium. Our use of English as medium of instruction as nothing to do with colonisation.


I don't really understand your aimless babbling. Stick to a point and make yourself clear.
All u half baked lazy ignoramus whose knowledge of Africa is based on what the white man wrote about africa. Do your own research on Africa and your eyes will clear.

thebosstrevor1:
yea, the native you wear isn't African but Indonesia, the British merchants brought it here

don't try to revise history, it is fact, that your forefathers were going about naked in the 18th century until they got into contact with the British and other foreign traders looking to expand their markets

so if charcoal and ashes from leaves were effective in washing clothes, then they would have continued using them instead of leaving them for Soap.

you keep saying trash,

these are facts, Nigeria was colonized by the British, English is the official language, you were born in a country that speaks English, went to nursery schools, where you were taught English and English alphabets, attended primary, secondary schools and university that teach and speak English, in fact speaking English is part of you from birth. so it makes no sense to compare yourself with Latin or a Russian or china man.

another funniest stuff is that the alphabet in your local languages were created by British linguistics because none of you were advanced enough to do it

how come you are not reading and writing in your local language?

my natives clothes came from where? definitely not ASO-OKE or ARAN.

samuel ajayi crowther developed the romanised yoruba writing system not any british linguists. Prior to that yoruba language was written in ajami scripts among the muslims faithful. Muslims community in Iwo were writing their wills in ajami scripts while Ilorin musicians wrote the lyrics of their were music in ajami in the 19th century.

technology and invention is meant to make our lives better, is it not. soap is more convenient and less stressful, so we abandoned ashes. Point is our women understood cleanliness and hygiene before meeting the white man. say something else.

You learn with the language of relevance. English is the global official language and only makes sense to be well versed in it. It has plenty advantage, why do u think its very easy for nigerians and indians to japa. If u want to learn in your native language no one is stopping u, primary education medium of instruction ought to the mother tongue according to the federal ministry of education. Take your child to public primary school and watch him teach you mathematics in your local language.


what else? oya bring more ignorant comments. I think I have little time to knock sense into your head and also educate other readers.
note- I'm not here to educate u, I know u very well on this forum to be a baiter.

thebosstrevor1:
yes, they brought western clothes, they even taught women how to wash their clothes

I am sure you have never been to the museum before.

infact the language you are writing, if not because for the British, you wouldn't have been able to read and write plus be useful to society.

First they brought clothes, now it's western clothes. We still proudly wear our own native clothes and that's what count. White man didn't bring clothes for my ancestors, I don't know about yours.
African women were using ashes from leaves or sieved charcoal to wash their clothes before advent of soap. Obviously the stupid museum u attended didn't show u. Ode

It's no big deal writing to u in English. That's the effective and convenient way to communicate in today's modern and globalised world. English simply replaced Latin.
If russian and Chinese diplomats are to have a meeting today in the same room, they will speak to each other in English. Does that mean Russians and Chinese are slaves to UK?
You are not smart, that's your problem.

British brought clothes for which people? Its not your fault, that's what happen when u forced to live with people without knowledge of their culture.

If u want to japa to uk, pls focus on tech and healthcare. The reward is awesome, u can easily earn 5 thousands punds a month in those careers.
Otherwise, dont come.
Except you are already stuggling in Nigeria without any meaningful hope, then uk can be an option.
note I didnt mention care job because most Nigerians are not hardworking enough to accumulate sufficient hours to achieve good savings with carejobs.
Forget masters, u will most likely end up with care jobs and u may get stuck except u smart and have a clear plan to attain your goals.

There are other good jobs open to immigrants like finance, lecturers etc but they are not in demand and you have to be outstanding to get a job offer.
artisans/skill trade job is very lucrative but its tightly regulated, and most Nigerians who wants to japa are not well skilled in those sectors b4 leaving Nigeria.

pls do your research b4 selling your properties or resigning your job in naija just to japa. The book of lamentation we keep watching on Youtube on daily basis by recent Nigerian migrants is becoming stale and annoying.

JustforMen:
If there are not many castles, then which ones do you think are heading south?

Did u read my earlier comment. The problem isn't cattle population but lack of enough pasture and water in the north for open grazing practised by Fulani herdsmen for whatever number of cattle due to climate change.
It's a big problem for regions in the sahel belt due to encroaching desert. They keep moving south towards the rain forest region. That's why cattle rustling is a big problem at the niger-nigerian border.

JustforMen:
Ever considered over-grazing?

Over grazing? How many cattle are there in Nigeria? We don't even have enough to feed our population n Nigeria cattle population isn't even the highest in Africa.
Look at lake Chad, shrinking at a rapid rate because the lake's inflow are drying up. In another 50 yrs, there will be no more lake Chad. The struggle for lake Chad and dwindling economic fortune in Chad basin area is one of the reason for this unending boko haram insurgent.

Above is global warming we should be talking about, not some iceberg melting.
Black man should connect with his environment and use the knowledge acquired in school to solve problems emanating from such. That's how a nation progress.
