AFEEZ HANAFI, who was at Iseyin, Oyo State, reports that a dairy development programme in the community is changing the chain of milk processing, storage and distribution in the country
“It has relieved my wife of the stress of sitting behind fire for three hours to make cheese and travelling to Ibadan to sell it,” the pastoralist said about the initiative. “I started dairy farming six years ago after the company approached us.” In a report published on November 29, 2020, titled “Struggle of dairy farmers battling wastage, poor value chain amid huge milk imports,” our correspondent detailed how hundreds of pastoralists, especially women in Bodinga, Sokoto State, worked like elephants and ate like ants.
Most importantly, constant rifts between him and crop farmers had been largely laid to rest and paved the way for peace to reign. She said, “My husband has two barns comprising over 100 local cows. We collect eight cans of milk every day from them. Before the company partnered with us, we used milk to make cheese.
Amina, whose husband collects 20 to 22 litres of milk from cows daily, said the business was much more productive than cheese making. She also admitted that the scheme had brought about peaceful coexistence among crop and dairy farmers in the neighbourhood.
This is how we want Nigeria to be,were your business is not a threat to lives and properties of others etc.
Every wise community can take advantage of the presence of herdsmen, own cattles and setup diary milk production, but bigotry has blocked many peoples vision.
Let this peace continue as different entities. OduduwaNationNow and Arewa nation. People must not live together by force.
Una still never get sense
