Abstract: This paper addresses the moral dimension of the ongoing Farmers/Herders conflict in Nigeria, which has received limited attention in previous scholarly works. While past studies have explored the origins, causes, and impact of the conflict, the ethical considerations underlying these crises have been largely overlooked. Therefore, this study aims to provide an ethical analysis of the conflicts between farmers and herders in Southwestern Nigeria. To achieve this objective, the research employs a thematic and descriptive approach to examine the causes and consequences of the farmers/herders conflict in the region. Data for the study were collected from primary sources, including interviews, as well as secondary sources such as personal experiences, newspapers, relevant textbooks, and international and local journal articles. The findings reveal that the primary motivation behind the Farmers/Herders conflict is the pursuit of livelihood by both the Fulani herders and Yoruba farmers. However, the study argues that the ethical challenge lies in reconciling the incessant killings, abuse, and displacement of Yoruba Farmers and Herders with the concept of seeking livelihood. In response to this challenge, the paper proposes the concept of seeking the right livelihood, which entails finding a means of earning a living without violating the principles of love and compassion. This concept is aligned with the principles of non-violence, non-stealing, and responsible sexual conduct. Finally, this paper contributes to the existing literature by examining the ethical dimensions of the Farmers/Herders conflict and offers insights into potential pathways for resolution and sustainable development
