There is an online cow meat boycott campaign currently going
on in Nigeria over the reported incessant attacks on Nigerian Christians, who invariably
are the most patronisers of cow meat in the country, reports NaijaAgroNet.
They also alleged that killed Christian bodies are now being
used in the preparation of Suya, a popular delicacy made usually from cow meat,
unfortunately for other Christians to consume unknown to them.
Investigations by NaijaAgroNet showed that the campaign
which is trending on all available social media including Facebook, Twitter,
WhatsApp and Telegram, was to protest the attacks on other Nigerians especially
the Christians by members of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria
and other unidentified herdsmen across the country.
Part of the message sighted by NaijaAgroNet indicated that
the boycott takes effects from February 1st, and urging “Christians all over
Nigeria have been asked to stop eating of Cow meat.”
The message insisted that since cow meat are now being “breeded
with human and Christian bloods being murdered in cold blood on daily basis
without government doing anything, would amount to double killing for those Christian
victims.”
The campaign insisted that the ban from eating Cow Meet
should be taken seriously as from February 1st in “solidarity for the lives of
our dear Christian brothers and sisters killed by wicked Islamist group.”
Urging more people, especially Nigerian Christians to eat, ”more
of fish, bush meat, pig, native goat, chicken, duck, snails, etc.”
The unendorsed prayer to Christendom, that Christian elders
have discovered and come to the conclusion that Muslims love the life of Cows more
than the life of Christians, alleging, “they have gone as far as killing
Christians to prepare suya for
Christians to eat.”
For the campaigners, “Christians are the promoters of their
sales of Cows and that is enough for them to respect Christians since we are
the promoters of their businesses.”
They imagined the Southern Kaduna killings of over 1000
Christians slaughtered by Islamist, but the President Muhammadu Buhari’s led
All Progressive Congress (APC) government kept quiet and rather reacted to the
death of cows.
For the campaigners, “this is the only way we (Christians)
can crumble their economy and bring them to their kneels to respect Christians.”
They equally appealed to Christians to share the protest message
on Facebook, and WhatsApp on their contacts until it gets to everyone Christian
in Nigeria.
