Fulani farmers crisis in Benue state Nigeria. (Full length) Building a peace narrative.
The relationship between farmers and the Fulanis herdsmen in Nigeria's middle belt region is one that has been disfigured in a lot of ways. Both people need eachother especially the Fulanis that need water and green grass for their cattle to feed on.
The Fulani farmers crisis in Benue state is hindering this reality
The Fulanis are cattle breeders that move their cattle herds from the sahel savannah to the savannah region of Benue state, Nassarawa and Taraba states in search of water and green pastures for them to feed .
And the inhabitants of Benue state are largely farmers. In the course of this search for greener pastures, their cattle graze into the farmland of the locals and this leads to fighting between the farmers and the Fulanis leading to the Fulani farmers crisis in Benue state
In this documentary project in partnership with the UNDP we visited the affected Communities to bring a peace building narrative in other that peace might return to the region.

Thanks for watching. You can share your comments now .

This is a simplified solution you are proffering. These people want to be given massive land mass in all LGAs so they can invite other fulanis from all over Africa. Their aim is to change the narrative and become the owners of Nigeria. Peace with such mindset is unattainable. Cattle rearing is a private business. Let them fund their business themselves.

Everybody should watch this. It's eye opening

[@thepeakstory]

Thank you. I can't agree less

[@nenpinwakkias476]

This is a beautiful piece. I hope this could be looked at closely and a framework for peace set up, not just in Benue but in all Middle belt states

Thank you so much. This project was done in 3 different states Benue, Taraba, and Nassarawa. They're are all neighbouring states and the crisis spills around them because they're all majorly farmers. I didn't visit Nassarawa and Taraba, I would love to with appropriate funding

Wow,great documentary Weldon Sir,it's good to have a close look and hear from the people affected to see and know what they are really going through. I pray and hope that God will grant the government and leaders involved the wisdom to know how to tackle this issue,too many lives have been lost. Weldon Sir

Thank you so much. I was scared at first with so many thoughts filling my head especially seeing that we weren't using a life jacket. But we carried on
