Cow-eating ban: North may suffer more if it cuts off food supply to South-East over IPOB’s threat, says Mefor, Director, Igbo leadership foundation - Punch Newspapers

Dr Law Mefor is the Chancellor, Igbo Bu Igbo and Director, Igbo Leadership Development Foundation. In this interview with RAPHAEL EDE, he speaks on the threats by the northern traders to stop foodstuffs and cattle supply to the South-East followingng the Indigenous People of Biafra’s directive to the south-easterners to stop consuming beef from the Northtraders have threatened to stop supply of food and livestock to the South-East after the IPOB order on consumption of Fulani cows.

I read about the IPOB order on stopping consumption of Fulani cows or ban of it, which they said would come into force on April 1 or so. It is wrong for several reasons. There are no readily available alternatives. Besides, that is not how Ndigbo organise their lives. The Igbo thrive on competition. The Igbo have native cows, called Efi Igbo. The logical way would be to replace the so-called Fulani cows by promoting mass production of Efi Igbo but there is no such a plan.

The Arewa Consultative Forum has said the IPOB decision to ban foodstuffs from the North and consumption of Fulani cows in the South-East amount to a declaration of war. What do you think of what ACF said? The ACF is always threatening war. You know, those threatening wars were not quite involved in the Nigeria- Biafra civil war. We know the parts of the country that fought that war.

Another ipob miscalculation, as the North awaits fall in beef price courtesy of ipobs confusion.

STATELESS Daddy told me when 2 brothers fight foreigners inherite their land ALIENS,PURE ALIENS making an indigèneous son of the land stateless it's unacceptable. Let me warn,by the time all said & done,every single ALIEN will leave our ancestral land😡

Then we shall eat the food noww😂😂

What sort of very stupid threat is that. ? Unless the entire leadership across Igboland call their youths to order,in order to prevent them from inviting çhaos on their people .

They will supply to other parts, and outside Nigeria and make their money. Plant what you eat.
