National Open Grazing Banned

Goodness!I think just like WOLE SOYINKA once commented when his wishes for anotekun was granted and he called new year gift In the same context ban by federal government of open grazing is quite commendable .

In the Sahara reporters a new report reads:

Akpabio Insists ‘Cows Are Not Nigerian Citizens’ As Northern Senators Oppose Move To Ban Open Grazing | Sahara Reporters https://bit.ly/4cbryea

I actually loved this like any rational responses from objective citizenry in the country.Incidentally objective comments on Facebook erupted to my delight like selected options from anonymous sources below:

"Shortage of food in Nigeria happen because herders carry their cow to destroy peoples farm that suppose to feed the nation. Secondly cow business is an individual business not for national interest why should any reasonable person support any business that will destroy other peoples business for their own business to thrive. That is wickedness. Thirdly banning open grazing will lead to lasting peace among herders and farmers. Any person going against banning of open grazing is just been sentimental and not fit to be national representative."

Another says:

"Kindly insist on that and ensure this bill is passed with the same speed at which that of the less needed National Anthem was passed. At this period, the need to ensure sanity is brought into the business of cattle rearing is very important."

I was particularly impressed with this response :

"Absolutely. The Senate President should be commended for his stance. We also hope to see him extend his firm stands on other National issues affecting the welfare of Nigerians.

Indeed, the era of placing cows above humans is gone. Akpabio's disposition is commendable. I was so excited when I saw him shutting down Sen. Aliero, Sen. Goje & a host of other northern senators who were vehemently opposing anti-open grazing. God bless Nigeria 🙏
