Nigerian singer Timaya has raised concerns over the destruction of farmlands in his home state of Bayelsa, urging the government to intervene.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, the music star lamented the ongoing damage to farms and called on herders to ranch their cattle instead of allowing them to graze freely and destroy crops.
“Pls the government should do something. They are destroying farms in Bayelsa. Aboki, take your cow inside and feed them. This is so sad,” he wrote.
Timaya’s plea highlights growing tensions over open grazing in Nigeria, with many farmers struggling to protect their crops from roaming cattle. His comments have sparked discussions online, with many echoing his concerns and calling for stricter regulations on livestock management.
