Isn’t this very pathetic. You moved into their territory and decided that you want to be living there, now you are complaining just because the monkeys chose to scavenge for food within an area that was rightfully theirs.
That is exactly what Fulani Herdsmen have been trying to explain to Benue people

I don't advocate killing wild animals. But in this case do the needful
Re: Residents Flee As Monkeys Invade Lagos Community by delpee(f): 5:49pm On Mar 26, 2018
The problem is that urbanisation is limiting their habitat. Years ago, monkeys and crabs were a common sight in Unilag especially the area now occupied by New Hall and some other bushy areas.

Exterminating them isn't a wise solution. We need to maitain a good ecological balance. They should be taken to a conservation centre or forest areas.

They should get in touch with Desmond Majekodunmi the conservation expert.

Lagosians are by far the most pathetic and cowardly people in Nigeria

Calling on Govt to come rescue you from Monkeys? Something that is considered a delicacy in Delta state?


Hahahaaha
But isn't there a business opportunity here?
At least let Lagos send some wild life food items to other states

Invasion by monkeys from natural habitat is forcing many residents of Soluyi/Sosanya Community in Gbagada, Lagos State, to flee. Some of the residents told the News men in Lagos on Monday that they could no longer withstand the situation.

They called on the state government to save the community from the trouble, saying that the animals forced their ways into their rooms, destroying window and door nets, food stuffs and other items.

The Chairman of the community’s Landlord Association, Mr Adigun Olaleye, said that it had become difficult for the community to curtail the monkeys and their destructive attitude.

He said that the invasion might have resulted from the nearness of the community to a swamp forest that separated the community from Ifako area.



According to him, the monkeys come into residences at any time including early morning and gain entrance into rooms even if the houses are locked.

Olalaye told the News men that the community had written a letter to the Lagos State Ministry of Agriculture as regards the situation but had yet to get a relief.

“They said we would have to pay for them to come and pack the monkeys,” he said. He said that the invasion had been on for years but recently became unbearable.

Olaleye appealed to the state government to urgently intervene.

Narrating her ordeal, a journalist who lives in the community, Mrs Funmilola Gboteku, told the News men that the monkeys had forced her family to flee.

“Many times, these monkeys come to the neighbourhood to destroy our property. Once they see food items inside a house, they direct all their energies at gaining entrance forcefully.



“The monkeys are in the habit of tearing the protective nets on windows to gain entrance and eat whatever they find in the house.“I have had to replace the protective nets several times; I am tired of doing it.

“I have been locking my windows but locking of windows has disadvantages; there is no cross ventilation in the house, and as a result, we suffer heat,’’ she told the News men.

Another landlord, Mr Oluwatosin Aregbesola, told the News men that his tenants were no longer feeling safe in the house because of the monkeys.

“The monkeys enter kitchens to eat our soups and any food stuff on the shelf.

“The day I tried to catch one of them, the monkey attacked me by using its long nails to punch a hole on my neck and scratch my face,” he said. Aregbesola appealed to the state government to save the community from the menace.

monkeys are a common sight in Gbagada, we see them from time to time in phase 1, but they aren't destructive (maybe the ones in phase 1 and one alo are Behind), they just mind their business.

that said over 60% of the kosofe side of Gbagada is built on monkey turf
