A video showing a cow running on Third Mainland Bridge in
Lagos has drawn reactions from Nigerians on social media.
The video was reportedly recorded around 9pm on Wednesday.
The cow which was heading in the same direction as the vehicles on the bridge could be seen maintaining a lane through the duration of the video.
A voice could be heard saying, “Wow, this is dangerous.”
Reacting, a Facebook user, Esther Chidimma Ibe said, “This only happens in a country where cows are valued more than human lives.”
According to Emma Nwanyanwu, “In Buhari’s Nigeria: Cows are
sacred, the government spent years discussing open grazing, RUGA, grazing
routes, herdsmen and cattle colony. Is it ordinary third mainland bridge you
are complaining about? At least you are alive to see the cow. Those in Benue
and other states are killed, their crops destroyed for the sacred cows. By the
way, Lagos voted APC in 2015 and 2019, they should be used to cows by now.”
Jessica Orlunma said, “The moment you understand that these
cows now know their rights in this country as first class citizens of the
federal republic of Nigeria, the better you realise they can walk on the road,
board a public transport, enter first class flight and go medical checkup
confidently.”
Nnenna Okoli said, “Don’t you know that the cows are the
number one and first class citizens in Nigeria? Na them be the bonafide holders
of the Nigerian passport. Their lives are more valued than that of the humans.”
Dick Omah said, “This is one the reasons Rivers State just proposed
a bill to ban open grazing. Faster it will be passed into law by the State
Assembly.”
One Emmy Osy said, “I witnessed it live, though it was
already walking with the owner towards the edge of the bridge along the
Adekunle end of the bridge going to the island.”
