According to am, the kasala wey dey burst for bush no be small, and e don reach level wey dey affect national security.
Gen. Musa no mince words as he talk say the wahala between farmers wey dey plant food and herders wey dey carry cow waka-waka anyhow don too much. E say instead make we dey use military every time to chase people, why we no just tackle the root of the matter—give cow their own place to chill and graze in peace?
