Armed with a stick and spotting a short brown jean, black T-shirt, sneakers and a big native hat, the first known Igbo herdswoman, Mrs. Ekene Obaye, an indigene of Nguru Nsukka in Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State, gave a hot chase to one of her cows as the animal strayed into a cassava farm. Daring the cow, she held its right hind leg and began dragging it backwards out of the farm. It was quite a struggle causing a mild drama before her husband, Mr. Patrick Obaye, also a herdsman, intervened.
Mrs. Obaye told Daily Trust that, “We have farms and I would not like my cows to destroy anybody’s farm. But this particular cow likes eating cassava leaves. It doesn’t get tired of eating them,” and she continued to herd the cows numbering over 20.
