believes the federal and state governments may have ignored very important lessons from Fulani Herders, who are the best local experts in cattle rearing and management
The first is that, he takes his cattle to the grass, he does not pay for the price of bringing the grass to his cattle. now lost to most sedentary people. This may not be an exactly preferred veterinary medical practice, but it helps him keep his cost low. I am not a Fulani, but I grew up in New-Bussa Niger State and in Kwara, surrounded by Fulani settlements. I did not grow up with the consciousness of seeing Fulanis’ as oppressors seeking to grab anyone’s land, as is now the narrative, because of the almost abject poverty of most of them I know while growing up. As a matter of fact, we had a lot of them as our helps, we respected them and learnt a lot from their wisdom and simplicity.
My economic instinct tells me that we may have ignored very important lessons from the best local expert in cattle rearing and management – the Fulani Herder in our emotionally driven path to create a new livestock management system. I am persuaded, a policy that confines the herders to a grazing reserve where they will still be in control of their cattle but will not be in a position to trespass on other people’s land would be superior choice to a plan that hopes to put experienced pastoralists under the management of civil servants who lack any experience in cattle breeding and who are advised by imported specialist with zero knowledge of the local environment.
Your assumptions are not reliable. What's the minimum wage in Nigeria compared to the US? So don't compare!
A nice take by Hashim Olawepo. However, there are many unfounded assumptions that stand to be corrected. First, he claimed he wrote WAEC in junior class and had A1 in Economics. I doubt if that was achievable in Nigerian educational set up but that's not the issue.
