Ebonyi Rice Farmers Helpless As Herdsmen, Cows Destroy Their Farms
~3.3 mins read
EDWARD NNACHI writes that the unending crisis between herdsmen, whose animals destroy produce, and farmers in Ebonyi State poses serious threat to food security in the state and its environsForty-nine-year-old Ibiam Uchenna-Ogbuewu, a native of Ebunwana Edda community in the Afikpo South Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, alternates between conveying passengers on his commercial motorcycle and his rice farm in order to make ends meet.Uchenna-Ogbuewu has three hectares of rice farm in Oso Edda community. And with the proceeds from the farm, he operated a hitherto popular pub in Amasiri taking care of his wife, five children and aged mother.Before now, the children’s school fees were paid with ease and other family financial obligations met easily. But currently, Uchenna-Ogbuewu’s situation has changed for the worse. Today, the farmer’s health is challenged, bills are piling up and the flame of his once popular pub is ebbing out.He narrates, “It all started around November 2019 as I was preparing to harvest rice from my farm in the Oso Edda community, when I noticed that Fulani herdsmen had destroyed about two out of the three hectares the night before.“On getting to the farm that morning, I discovered that herdsmen had entered the farm the previous night and their cows had trampled on the ripened rice. For some minutes, I wept and asked them why they did this kind of thing, because they were still on the farm and were very relaxed. One of them said I better shut up my mouth or they would beat me up. As I was talking to the other, another one was already bringing out his dagger to attack me.“I went back to the village and called a photographer, who came and took photographs of the scene. Later, I told the women, who came to harvest the rice, to go back home, because there was nothing to harvest again.“I went to Afikpo and complained to a known Fulani leader, who promised that they would compensate me, but till date, that compensation has not come. That was the beginning of my problem. I invested about N1m, which I borrowed from a microfinance bank, in the farm and I have not been able to pay back the loan or the interest. I can’t fund my pub anymore and I equally can’t take care of my family and my health is now in a bad state because of high blood pressure.â€Uchenna-Ogbuewu, who said he had suffered so much psychological and financial pains in the hands of the Fulani herdsmen, called on the government at all levels to intervene.According to him, if nothing is done to arrest the situation, acute hunger and starvation may hit the land.The story of a 54-year-old farmer and native of Enohia Itim community in the Afikpo North LGA of the state, who spoke to The PUNCH on condition of anonymity, is not different.She said farming, which used to be fun for the natives, had become uninteresting among the people, noting, “You are not sure if what you are spending time, energy and resources to plant will survive destruction by herdsmen and their cattle.“We are really suffering in this land with regard to what these cattle herders do here. They destroy our crops; they threaten our people and most times, rape our women. It is this bad and there is a need for this to stop and I call on the government to do something about it. Our farms and produce are being destroyed.â€
