@Ainatolulope1 wrote on her Twitter page;

“I am deeply saddened by this terrible news this morning.

“A clients 10-hectare cassava farm which is due for harvest was set ablaze by some Fulani herdsmen who absconded on siting the flame.

“Its Dry season so any little fire will escalate voraciously.

“I didn’t want to talk about this but now I must, these herdsmen deliberately left their cattles to wander into my cassava farm on a Sunday night.

“The extent of damage I declare was devastation

“Not excluding the flood and heavy theft case I had to deal with in October.

“I know youths who faced similar ordeal this year

“Its one thing to say the youths are lazy, it’s another for them to be frustrated after hardwork& perseverance amongst the many challenges that already exist

“I still hold firmly to this cause but #EnoughisEnough

“I am not lazy neither are countless Nigerian youths in agribusiness also

#Agribusiness is not for the faint-hearted. This nonsense has to stop #EnoughisEnough

“#Africa needs #Nigeria youth involvement in #Agriculture. We cannot continue like this. @AfDB_Group @akin_adesina.”

Nigerians on Twitter have, however, proffered solutions to the herdsmen menace. Some also recounted similar incidences and called on the federal government to protect farmers from the pitiful onslaught from herdsmen and their cattle.
