In a normal society authority would have been called if the animals are disturbing, and the animal(s) would have been safely moved to the reserves! But here, because of our greed, everything is meat

Who are the authorities you will call here ? Oya talk.

Assuming you even call police who were passing by in their van, what will they do if not to kill that hippo and wait to have their own share of the meat ?

Don't say because of greed, there is hunger already in town.

Nigeria is an amazing place;many especially those with little or no knowledge blame's GEJ for everything;they are stuck in traffic,its GEJ's fault.their wives wronged them;its GEJ.their children won't listen to them;its GEJ.now some here are blaming GEJ for the death of an hippo on the river niger.smh.
GEJ odi popular.chai!
Anyway's vote GEJ#teamGEJ.

Before we blame the Fishermen, its imperative to ask the question? With Whom Lies The Primary responsibility of Protection of Wild-life and people (especially Dangerous Wild life?)

Hippos have inhabited the Benue River for Hundreds of Years. However recently population boom around the river banks and explosion in the number of Hippos leading to inevitable contact often with dangerous sequelae on both sides!
I remember as a Child, when I used to spend Holidays with my Uncle in Makurdi, there was a Gulf Course behind his Quarters and we saw how Hippos come out of the Water to wreck Havoc on the Grass at night!
Stories of Hippos attacking Fishermen and other Passengers of Canoes were common. It was very bad, yet there was never a Time, the Ministry of Environment or Wildlife Protection Agency considered locating or Fencing off some segments of the River dominated by Hippos! Instead the Govt made some Obnoxious Laws about Arresting anyone who kills a Hippo! How Stupid!!!
Does the Govt know the actual Number of Hippos in the River?
Do they know the number that must be maintained to ensure a Healthy Ecosystem?
Are there any Population control measures for the Hippos?


If a Hippo begins to terrorise my neighbours, I'll pick up a Rifle and Shoot it! Period!!!

What we are seeing is the Product of a Useless Govt! The Benue Govt is the most backward and Illiterate Govt I've seen in my life!
Makurdi is the most Iconic State Capital in Nigeria, with the River Benue giving the City a distinct identity, you can virtually see the River at any point you stand in Markurdi!
The Tourism Potentials are Enormous!!!
1. Yearly Boat Carnivals
2. UniAgric vs BSU Canoeing Competition (Oxford/Cambridge Model)
3.Swimming Competitions
4.Various 5-star Hotel Rivieras
5 Any Water Sport at all

Using Wire Meshes, Hippos are isolated from routes Humans ply and everyone will be Happy! The Hippos themselves will become tourist attractions!

All the Govt needs to do is to travel to countries like the UK, SA, etc and partner with foreign Developers who should be given huge Concessions and Waivers to run such development schemes for 20-30yrs, by the time they are done, the city won't be recognized!
But a Govt that would rather sponsor Beauty Pageants and watch its huge factories(Teraku Mills etc) rot rather than auction off to investors to create employment isn't the kinda of Govt I should be wasting my time talking about!

Goodmorning Fellaz!

I wonder why we are like this, this is pure greed, the people in that picture can't tell me they are so hungry and can't find anything other than this sheppo, sorry hippo. Its really sad they kill it.

I wonder the fucccking essence of preserving all these fuccccking wildlives when all dr own aim is to kill & eat us up..

Its absurd to me sha..

Hypocrites - I guess you would have liked the story to be like this [/b] A hippo killed 3 in Benue. [b]

That's a wild animal and as such should not swim near people's sight.

My humble opinion.

They also conserve snakes in America. Don't worry a big snake will visit you one day so you can conserve it too.

An endangered species that should be protected is what people are happy to have killed

THIS IS REALLY BIG MEAT

sincerenigerian:



I beg leave story. Na good meat be that. God created these animals for our consumption. How I pray I dey there to eat sef.

God did not create any animals. Your christian belief has successfully blinded you to the fact that you need to protect nature.

Unemployment has caused a lot in this country.
That hippo is listed among endangered species under our laws.
But we the best excuse for lawlessness and indiscipline in Nigeria is SURVIVAL. they are proud in ignorance to have reduced the number of a rare specie in Nigeria.

Keneking:
Today I saw a big dead snake at VGC roundabout ...measuring about 3mtrs. Now it is hippo...I am sure we shall have sharks and elephants in this country.

I've heard of elephants, but I want to know if we have lions in the wild.

But i pity this hippo. Na meat inside somebody soup.

Hippo for real

This is why we all need to vote for Buhari or else this kind of backwardness will continue... Change must come!

So you want to vote him in to come protect animals? Ogbeni! Move!

And they say Goodluck is not working. As a result of the transformation in the Agric sector, massive mammals have come into our waters. Now the people of Benue can eAt protein for a long time.

My brother, join me and a few other intelligent Nigerians to go and buy land somewhere and form our country. Don't let your brain be wasting here in Nigeria o!

Yankari could have been a big money spinner. We could charge money to fence these places, hire people to care for them, hire vets, zoologists, you name it (but hey, we are complaining we don't have jobs!) But noooo, hippos cause wahala to a small section of people when we could keep them alive and make money off a larger section. Besides even in Lagos there is N400 meat, don't tell me villagers are starving, city people are the hungry ones.

is that patience jonathan?
