On my way to the farm this afternoon, I saw some cows trespassing into someone’s cassava farmland, I confronted the Fulani herdsmen, speaking Hausa with a gentle and peaceful tone but they pretended not to understand what I was saying until I shouted with English that was when they replied; “sorry, sorry, them no go eat the cassava” and took the cow out of the farm. My question is when did Fulani herdsmen stop understanding Hausa? or are they looking for an alibi for violence? will cows ever trespass into a cassava farmland in the core northern states? My hero in this Fulani herdsmen’s propensity for violence is the amiable governor of Ekiti State. Long live the Peoples governor Ayo Fayose. As long as the President, security agencies and prominent stakeholders continue to talk and condemn their actions with no commensurate actions to curb their excesses the onus is on the governors of the affected state of which Enugu, Benue and Plateu states are chief to follow the footsteps of governor Fayose. After all, they share the proceeds of the sale of their cows alone why then should they want to reap where they have not sown by eating the proceeds of a farmer.
