It is getting out of hand, the killings, burning down of homes and raping of innocent citizens in the country, it is so bad that we had to witness the new year with brutal killings in Taraba and Benue states respectively by some notorious Fulani herds men. It is so sadden how farmers from Benue, and Taraba – some states in Nigeria, went to their various farm lands in search for what to survive with their families, this farmers got to their farms only to see their crops destroyed by the cows, on complaining and lamenting about the happenings in the farms, they were killed butchered
like animals. This is disheartened we no longer have value for human life….
What made this killings more brutal is the silence of the leaders at first until the killings went out of hand. The killings is getting out of hand as the indigenes are about to retaliate since they feel the government is not ready to intervene or come to their rescue. See how lives, homes and property are been destroyed. There has to be a way out of this anarchy, the country is yet to recover from the fight against book-haram and the killings in southern Kaduna, Nigeria – where hundreds of lives were wasted, and now in the beginning of a new year the country is mourning for loss of lives and wallowing in penury as fuel scarcity is now a day to day problem for every citizen in Nigeria.

I think one of the ways this menace can be stopped is telling the herdsmen to make provision for their cows instead of allowing them to go out into people’s farms and proper arrest of their so called chairman of the Maiyetti Allah cattle breeders association of Nigeria. Everyone has to take sole responsibility because the cows are not sold for free, you can’t expect them to keep quiet and watch what they have labored for destroyed not that they were compensated of any kind. Stop the idea of open grazing if it will stop this notorious herdsmen.
