INSECURITIES IN NIGERIA: SOLUTION TO HERDSMEN AND FARMERS CLASHES.
INSECURITIES IN NIGERIA: SOLUTION TO HERDSMEN AND FARMERS CLASHES....
It is no longer news in Nigeria that various communal crisis have occurred between Fulani Herdsmen and Farmers in different parts of the country. Many a time our unity has been threatened as a result of incessant killings all across different states in Nigeria. This challenges has been allegedly connected to the coexistence of various tribes most especially the cattle and cow rearers.
As it stands today, I want to believe that Fulani Herdsmen are usually known for holding sticks which they use in controlling the direction at which their cattle/cows move. But gone are the days in which they normally carry sticks only as they have been caught severally with sophisticated weapons.
The Federal Government of the nation has seen the establishment of Cattle Ranch across the nation as the only solution to stop the incessant killings. But this article is billed to brighten the dark spot of believing that it's Government that supposed to create ranches all over the country.
It is a known fact that most cattle rearers are not the direct owner of these investments. I termed it investment because these cows are sold to make money at every point in time. Therefore, there is nothing bad if the owners of these cattle/cows create ranches for their investments so as to take proper care of them by buying their feeds and giving them Vertinary cares. As it is even sure that the cattle/cows gets direct Vertinary cares. If the Government still insist on owners of land to release their land for ranches creation, is it the Government that will also provide feeds and medical care for these privately owned investments? It is Germain to give a considerable look to this matter. Greater Nigeria is what we preach.
