The Kaura Market Electoral Committee extends its heartfelt gratitude to everyone who actively participated in the recently concluded Kaura Market general elections. This event marks another milestone in our collective journey toward encouraging transparency, unity, and progress within our esteemed market community.

We especially appreciate the general public and members of the Kaura community who turned out in large numbers to support this democratic process. Your enthusiasm and commitment to the growth of Kaura Market demonstrate the tireless spirit that binds us together.

The 2025 Kaura Market elections were conducted with efficiency and fairness, ensuring that every trader and stakeholder had a voice in shaping the future leadership of our market. Notably, the only contested position in this election was that of the Secretary, while other executive positions were unopposed.

The election process itself lasted less than six hours, evident in the meticulous planning and preparation that took over two months. Leading up to the election, the Kaura Market Electoral Committee diligently published multiple notices across all Kaura Market platforms, ensuring that every stakeholder remained informed and engaged. These efforts were reinforced with a final announcement a day before the election to further emphasize the importance of participation.

The success of this election would not have been possible without the sustained support of key organizations and security agencies that played a crucial role in ensuring a smooth and secure electoral process. We extend our deepest appreciation to:

 THE ILLEGAL AND HEALTH RISKS OF CONSUMING CROCODILE MEAT IN NIGERIA: I thought you should know Eating suya is considered the ultimate African street food, particularly popular in countries like Nigeria. However, in recent times, some individuals have strayed from the norm, venturing into consuming endangered animals—a dangerous practice that can have serious legal consequences. In Nigeria, the consumption of grilled crocodile meat—or crocodile meat in any form—can land you in jail. Yes, you heard that correctly. The Nigerian government has sued individuals for killing and consuming crocodiles, citing violations of environmental and wildlife protection laws. In cities like Abuja and Lagos, there are numerous joints where crocodile meat is openly sold, often without the knowledge of customers regarding the dangers and legal risks involved. If you are caught buying or eating such meat by government enforcement agents, you could face arrest and prosecution. Importantly, ignorance of t...
 ARE COWS MORE VALUABLE THAN HUMANS IN NIGERIA? WHAT IS THE VALUE OF LIFE IN A NATION IN CRISIS — HOW MANY MORE MUST DIE? By Daniel Okonkwo In recent years, the value of human life in Nigeria has come under intense scrutiny, particularly due to the relentless attacks on farming communities, primarily in the Middle Belt and North-Central regions. The haunting question that continues to echo across local and international discourse is: Are cows more valuable than human beings in Nigeria? This question becomes even more unsettling when viewed through the lens of recurring, unprovoked attacks by armed herdsmen—mostly identified as Fulani militants—on rural communities. Headlines consistently portray the devastating impact of these attacks: “At least 21 killed in Nigeria after herdsmen attack villagers,” “At least 140 villagers killed by suspected herders,” and “On April 12, 2022, armed herdsmen attacked several villages in Benue State, killing over 25 people and injuring many more.” Th...

Security Chiefs, Do Your Job—Nigerians Are Dying: The Herders-Farmers Conflict Rooted in Land, Law, and Neglect

 Security Chiefs, Do Your Job—Nigerians Are Dying: The Herders-Farmers Conflict Rooted in Land, Law, and Neglect By Daniel Okonkwo For close to three decades, a brutal and persistent conflict has gripped Nigeria’s Middle Belt, with the state of Benue emerging as one of its bloodiest epicenters. What began as tensions between itinerant herders and local farmers has evolved into an entrenched humanitarian and security crisis. Despite Nigeria’s constitutional guarantees and land governance framework, the conflict continues to claim lives, displace communities, and erode the nation’s socio-political cohesion.  Why can't herders—like every other Nigerian—buy land or peacefully negotiate for grazing rights with host communities? Instead, there have been recurring reports of herders trespassing on farmland, destroying crops, and engaging in deadly confrontations with local populations. This crisis intensified during the previous administration and has escalated dramatically in recent...
