The situation involving herders and cattle obstructing areas in Nigeria, particularly in the capital, is influenced by various factors related to climate change, urbanization, and socio-economic dynamics. The key stakeholders involved typically include:
1. **Nigerian Government**: Both local and federal authorities are involved in managing land use, urban planning, and the relationship between pastoralists and sedentary farmers.
2. **Fulani Herdsmen**: Predominantly from the Fulani ethnic group, these herders are often affected by changing climate conditions and the encroachment of urban areas on grazing lands.
3. **Local Farmers**: Many Nigerian farmers, particularly those practicing sedentary agriculture, are directly impacted by the movement of cattle through their lands, leading to conflicts over land use.
4. **Advocacy Groups**: Various NGOs and civil society organizations work on issues related to climate change, land rights, and the welfare of pastoral communities.
5. **International Organizations**: Bodies like the United Nations (including its agencies for food and agriculture), are involved in addressing climate change impacts, providing assistance, and promoting sustainable practices.
6. **Regional Governments**: States within Nigeria may implement laws or initiatives that affect herding practices, land use, and agricultural policies.
7. **Climate Scientists and Researchers**: Individuals and groups studying the impact of climate change on migration patterns, agriculture, and livestock management may also be involved in dialogue regarding these issues.
The interplay of these actors is deeply influenced by broader issues such as economic development, environmental degradation, and social tensions, which can lead to conflicts over resources in the context of an evolving climate landscape.

The situation involving cows obstructing areas and conflicts related to herdsmen and farmers primarily occurs in:
1. **Abuja**: The capital city of Nigeria, where urbanization often clashes with pastoral land use.
2. **Northern Nigeria**: Regions like Kaduna, Kano, and Niger states, which have significant pastoralist communities.
3. **Middle Belt Region**: Areas such as Plateau and Benue states, where conflicts between farmers and herders are common.
4. **Southwest Nigeria**: Locations like Oyo and Ogun states, where herders have migrated due to land pressure.
5. **Areas affected by Climate Change**: Regions experiencing desertification and resource scarcity, especially in the northeastern parts of Nigeria.
These areas illustrate the broader challenges faced by both herders and farmers in the context of climate change and land use pressures.
