Funke Adesiyan’s Narrates How Fulani Herdsmen Attacked Her Farm

Nollywood actress Funke Adesiyan has narrated how Herdsmen have cost her a lot–especially financially and health-wise.

The actress who has shared the story two years after the ordeal finally opened up with hopes of encouraging other struggling individuals.

According to the actress she had cultivated watermelon on five hectares of land only for the herdsmen and their cattle to destroy at the period of harvest.

The actress who had been far away in China when the call came in that her farm produce had been destroyed fainted and needed to be rushed to a hospital in China.

The actress thinks the Nigerian youths are trying but the government has failed to help matters

Read her post:

I remember this day 2016. 3 months prior, I’d just acquired 5 hectares of land at Ijebu Omu for watermelon farming. I was in such a high spirit looking forward to planting the new hybrid seedlings that had just surfaced. I was sleeping at a room apartment I rented in the village so I could be closer to farmland.

We went to work. Cleared the land, sunk the borehole, layed the pipes for irrigation so water can be sufficient as watermelon feeds hugely on water and environment. We planted. I left the farm maintenance to the farm manager.

So we headed to Iseyin from Ijebu to see the expansion on our Tomato farm.I stopped in Ibadan on my way from Iseyin to have a drink with my constituents and my favourite Amala Turaya at Yemetu.

On getting to Lagos, I had only 5days to prepare for my China trip as my partners from Iran and Pakistan wanted us to tour Hunan, a province popular for it’s tea Cultivation. As a “soji girl” that I am, I exploit all money making avenues around me. I needed to shop for my milk and Sardines that I will sell in China to cover my hotel bills. (Ogbon lo gba)
