Popular Afrobeats singer Timaya has expressed concern over the destruction of farmlands in his home state of Bayelsa. He revealed that herdsmen are damaging crops, which is causing distress for farmers.
Timaya urged the government to take immediate action to stop the destruction. He also spoke against open grazing, suggesting that herders should keep their cattle in ranches instead of letting them roam freely.
Taking to his X handle, the ‘Dem Mama’ singer wrote, “Pls the government should do something. They are destroying farms in Bayelsa. Aboki, take your cow inside and feed them. This is so sad.”
His post has sparked discussions online, with many people supporting his call for better protection of farmlands. Farmers in Bayelsa and other parts of Nigeria have long complained about similar issues, and Timaya’s voice adds to the growing demand for a solution.
