The crux of the matter, however, is that Obasanjo merely pre-empted an impending ecological war if nothing is done to avert it. If anything other than cattle grazing, that is yet to be established. Many ecological and near ecological dependent farmers and herdsmen have already lost grip of their ecosystem and are becoming desperate. The savannas, which comprised mainly grasslands and scattered shrubs is the traditional grazing land of the Fulani. Consequently, an ecological war is bound to occur in Southern Nigeria that would be the only region left with vegetal cover.
