According to them, cows, goats, fowls, sheep, eggs, beef, horses and donkeys from Fulani Herdsmen should be forbidden. It should not be bought or eaten by any Igbo man again.

They maintained that once the boycott is sustained for a time, the herdsmen will naturally leave Igbo forests and thus, killings and fighting would stop.

In the alternative, the group suggested that from October 1, 2020, Ndigbo should only buy and eat livestock reared in Igbo land such as native cows, fowls, goats, fish and bush meat.
