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.

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.
