VeryDarkMan don throw fresh spotlight on Abuja Street Grazing, after him reportedly call on FCT Minister Nyesom Wike over the continued sight of cows roaming parts of Nigeria capital. With the sharp complaint, “Wike, look at wetin dem turn Abuja into, cows everywhere,” the controversial activist don reopen one old public matter wey government don promise several times to address. But as cows still dey appear for roads and public spaces, Nigerians dey ask whether Abuja don get problem wey even bulldozer and government meetings never fit solve.
VeryDarkMan Calls Attention to Abuja Street Grazing
The main gist na say VeryDarkMan no happy with the continued presence of cattle for Abuja environment and roads. Him reaction reflect the frustration wey many residents and motorists don express over time concerning animals moving around areas wey people expect to function as modern urban spaces. Apart from the appearance of the situation, roaming cattle for roads fit create traffic obstruction and safety concerns for drivers, passengers, pedestrians and even the animals themselves.
The Abuja Street Grazing matter don become one kind stubborn public wahala wey no dey hear grammar. Abuja get carefully planned roads, estates, government buildings and green areas, but when cattle enter major roads, the picture fit quickly change from “Federal Capital Territory” to “Federal Cattle Territory” — at least according to the kind social media jokes wey the situation regularly generates. Still, behind the cruise, residents dey ask for practical enforcement and a lasting solution.
VeryDarkMan ask Wike’s Previous Promises and Why the Cow Matter Still Dey Cause Wahala
The controversy no start today. When Wike assume office as FCT Minister in 2023, he made clear say cows no suppose dey roam freely inside Abuja city, explaining that green grass planted to beautify the capital no be livestock buffet. The FCT Administration itself has continued to list the stoppage of livestock grazing within the city among issues requiring stakeholder consultation.
But the matter prove harder pass ordinary announcement. In 2025 and 2026, Wike acknowledged the complexity of ending open grazing, linking the matter to wider security and national concerns. In June 2026, he publicly apologised over cows still roaming Abuja streets and accepted responsibility for the continued situation. Government discussions have also involved livestock authorities and stakeholders, while the Federal Ministry of Livestock Development previously announced plans to develop designated grazing reserves in Abuja and relocate animals away from city centres.
Police authorities have also warned herders against moving cattle within Abuja city centre, particularly because of dangers connected to roads, residents and the animals themselves. The wider challenge includes shrinking grazing routes, urban development, conflicts involving farmers and herders, and the search for sustainable ranching or designated grazing alternatives.
For now, Abuja Street Grazing remain one of those Nigerian problems wey everybody sabi identify but permanent solution still dey travel through consultation, meetings and policy discussion. VeryDarkMan’s latest outburst don once again remind authorities say as long as residents still dey see cows for places wey dem believe animals no suppose dominate, the public go continue to ask questions. OGM News Nigeria go keep eye on developments, especially whether the promised long-term measures go finally make Abuja roads belong to motorists and pedestrians alone — instead of turning every journey into unexpected encounter with four-legged road users.
