It’s pointless returning with the politicians to their grazing field in the Nigerian Senate. There is hardly anything to gain by doing so and by helping them to expand the irritating cow and graze argument that oozed out of there recently. So far, Senate President Godswill Akpabio has, thankfully, dealt well with the attempts by some senators to equate cows with humans which underlined the argument they brought to the Senate.
Akpabio’s candidness on the matter notwithstanding, it is funny that Nigeria is yet to find a solution to how cows should graze in 2024! Some Nigerians are saying that there should be ranches for the cow business. Such people seek better breeding, rearing and processing of cattle and all in the value chain. But cows themselves are wondering why they cannot roam free in the towns, villages, forests and farms to keep one archaic cycle alive and active.
It is indeed one repulsive cause for concern in 2024 Nigeria! But I will not go that grazing route this week...
I will not join the monkey to eat grass. I will always remember my grandmother’s ‘don’t join the crooked to become crooked.’ So many other things are happening in our dear country and they are equally upsetting.
One of such is the manner the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is treating the issue of cyber crime and its suspects. The thought on EFCC’s crude methods got to a crescendo with its Akure operation of last weekend. It reminded one of everything Special Anti-Robb.
