Goodbye to the tot.

This is not a good omen though,

This may be the same way mmm will go.

The ' second coming' of mmm is nigh

Then its unfair when the fishes are still killed n eaten, they must be returned back to the river too, u never kw maybe their is recession in the ocean that was y the turtle came out.

Adebiyi, pls run for Senate.

We need people like you to take Nigeria out of the ocean.

30k just go like dat 4 ordinary sea turtle...hmmmm,

This tortoise is huge

TheGreenDay:
It was a mild drama on Sunday, the 11th December as a marine turtle was caught by the local fishermen at the 'Point Of No Return', a popular tourist attraction beach in Badagry, Lagos. The turtle was then sold to female handlers who loaded huddled onto motorcycle for onward transportation to a fish market in the town an have it sold for consumption.
Seeing how much this beautiful Olive Ridley turtle "meat" (as it's been referred to by the locals) had suffered in the hands of the handlers and subsequently sold as delicacy.
@metropolexpress publisher, Segun Adebiyi who was at the scene of the event pleaded that the reptile be released to it natural habitat, Adebiyi explained the need to preserve these special creatures to prevent their extinction. After much negotiation pleading and bargaining, Adebiyi paid N25,000 to have the creature returned to the ocean.
But the fishermen insisted in catching the turtle again immediately after it's released to the ocean it had been brought, it then belong to them again, to which the purpose of buying the special specie would have been defeated.
Realizing the fishermen were not ready to shift ground, the turtle had to be transported in a car to another nearby Sultan beach, there another drama erupted as the beach boys and the community boys prevented Adebiyi and his team from releasing the turtle into the ocean.
Again, N5,000 was given to the boys before the creature was allowed to return back home where it belongs. The most rewarding moment was to see turtle as it swam back to the ocean.
Sea turtles are generally found in the waters over continental shelves. During the first three to five years of life, sea turtles spend most of their time in the pelagic zone floating in seaweed mats.
Green sea turtles in particular are often found in Sargassum mats,in which they find shelter and food. Once the sea turtle has reached adulthood it moves closer to the shore. Females will come ashore to lay their eggs on sandy beaches during the nesting season.
Human activities have tipped the scales against the survival of these ancient mariners. Nearly all species of sea turtle are classified as Endangered. Slaughtered for their eggs, meat, skin and shells, sea turtles suffer from poaching and over-exploitation.
They also face habitat destruction and accidental capture in fishing gear. Climate change has an impact on turtle nesting sites.
It alters sand temperatures, which then affects the sex of hatchlings.

The Endangered Species Act (USA) of 1973 (ESA) protects registered endangered species by removing them from the “take” list, which makes it unlawful for a person to shoot, harm, capture, trap, or attempt any such actions to the species.
Thats the kind of law we need

Wonderful.....I have a pet snail his name is snaneo

He really has a kind heart. Some people fail to realise that kindness is a virtue, to animals or fellow human being

ekojoe:

To educate them on negative change?

Nice one Mr adebiyi


Quite commendable.. In fact he deserves an award.



Why would any sane person want to eat this poor beautiful creature self.. Nigerians can eat anything. No wonder we have so many cannibals amongst us.

BuyGoats:


Thanks. I'll take that for a compliment

my broda am proud of u for that reply. Thank u for inspiring me tonight.i will always be proud of watever i do

dominique:
The turtle should have been taken to institute of marine research. I don't trust those boys, they can still hunt it down and cook it. Nice gesture Mr Adebiyi

What will it be doing at the Institute? Except they are also going to re-introduce it to the wild like Mr. Adebiyi did. The wild is where it belongs and can perform all its physiological activities including replicating itself in an environment where everything (salinity, water chemistry, food resources etc) is within the optimal range for its physiology.

People try to visit Flexkoncept.com.ng

Nice idea by Mr Adebiyi.... it should have been taken to sohun palace in ogbomosho or any available museum
