ON MY WAY HOME || I SIGHTED CATTLE ON FREE RANGE

in GEMS5 years ago (edited)

Hello good day friends, yesterday evening when I was having a stroll, I saw a number of cattle grazing around and I could see the Fulani controlling them from one point to another. This cattle rearers always move from one place to another looking for green pasture for the cow to feed on. They graze on peoples farm such as maize and beans. In this area, there droppings litter the major roads and they seems to act as if they are not bothered with their actions. Farmers always count their loses when these cow graze on their farm because they feed on the crops and walk on them. In Nigeria, the cattle rearers are been feared by many, they appear very dangerous because they are armed most times when they are moving with their animals.

The Fulani cattle rearers are somehow dangerous in some parts because they are always armed with guns and Cutlass and they can attack anyone who doesn't want the cow to feed on their farm. So many people have been killed by these people and also, some communities have suffered great loss from the fulani.

In a civilized society, open grazing is not allowed, the cattle could have their own grazing land where the cow can feed and drink water. The cattle are not suppose to be moved around the town or on peoples farm. Nobody wants to talk because of the fear they have for the fulani cattle rearers. Pasture could be planted and the cow can enjoy their pasture and feed on them in an enclosed land.

Some Fulani cattle rearers engages in night robbery and even in the afternoon. So many highways are not safe for travellers. They block the highway and collect money and other valuables from the travellers. They have really caused alot of bad than good. It's believed that only the fulani cattle rearers can take care of cattle all over the country and they see this as an opportunity to act in a way that pleases them.

There have been several cases of Farmers and cattle rearers clash because the cattle grazed on the farmers farm. In some states in Nigeria, this is very common because the fulani cattle rearers doesn't see anything wrong in their cattle grazing anywhere they want.

I believe the Government need to work hard and provide a pasture land for the cattle rearers all over the country. This can be supervised and there should be law against open grazing of cattles all over the country. The fulani cattle rearers always try to claim any land they find themselves and bloods of many have been shed. Government should make sure the laws are also enforced.
