This thread is primarily an off-topic banter session triggered by a video of a cow sold for 1.5 million Naira, with users debating the price, the nature of the animal (Keteku cattle), and unrelated topics like vegetarianism and funeral costs. While a user named LocalFARMERS provides genuine advice on goat farming species and sourcing, the majority of the content consists of arguments, jokes, and political remarks rather than agricultural problem-solving or trade.
Prices:
cow: NGN1500000.0 (south)cow: NGN4000000.0 (Lai season)cow: NGN600000.0 (two years ago)cow: NGN370000.0 (unspecified)fish: NGN7000.0 (unspecified)
Credibility signals:
LocalFARMERS mentions specific sourcing locations (Ruga Fulani, Nigeria/Niger border) and breed characteristics to establish expertise.sylve11 references specific cattle breeds (Keteku) and cooking properties to demonstrate local knowledge.
“That's a Keteku Cattle. When you cook it, the flesh dey rise like soured akpu, unlike bokolo wey dey fattened but flesh na so so water.”
“You are eating stolen cheap meat. No meat is cheap in this Tinubu economy.”
“Go to Ruga Fulani (Fulani settlements). You will get good species of Goats there.”
Unclassified: Political banter regarding Buhari and Tinubu; arguments about vegetarianism and funeral customs; requests for cash due to workplace banking errors.

This thread is a heated, personal argument between two users about the morality of vegetarianism and mental health, completely unrelated to agriculture. While one user briefly mentions rearing native chickens, the discussion lacks agricultural knowledge, trade details, or problem-solving, making it an off-topic political/social debate masquerading on a farming forum.
“does that sound sensible to you? You advocating for life but still killing life. Who's the fool”
“More than atleast 200 million vegetarians are mentally ill because they refused to eat meat, does that sounds sensible to you?”
“I rear native chickens so I hardly buy chicken from the market and never buy egg.”
“How much will a cow head cost?”
Unclassified: A long, repetitive argument between two users (lovetext and Calitoscassius) regarding whether vegetarians are mentally ill, which dominates the thread and has no agricultural relevance.
