Used to have a fulani friend wen I was serving. He said they ate the red necks when they were small...Ewwwwwww shocked
@OP: I have a trick on how to catch Lizards... I learnt it in SS2, when we were told to bring unwounded Lizards for Biology Practicals(b4 una go tink say my papa na herbalist grin or say na me been dey chop am undecided)
1.) Wearing hand gloves, get a dead cockraoch and attach a hook or curved-pin shaped like a hook, into its guts
2.) Tie the hook to a long twine or strong thread.
3.) Just the way you fish, drag the thread slowly so the cockraoch appears to be moving and watch the way the Lizards will pursue it swiftly the way politicains dey take pursue young gals. The one who eats the roach gets caught in the throat! Voila!!! you got your bush meat: FOC grin

pendo89: Like seriously? Do you know how important lizards are in a house?

They will eat all insects,mosquitoes and you don't need to worry.

I like seeing a lizard chase up an insect.

Celebrate the Lizard dont complain.



Smart girl you are.

@OP

It is because Nigeria and Africa is nature in itself. Unlike the natureless place where you came from.

If you want more concrete and precise answer. Ask God who put them here.

you parked into their territory hence you see so many of them. my advice for you is that you should start killing any one you see, this will go a long way in reducing their population. Better still, trace their eggs, i'm sure you have some all over your house, DESTROY them cool cheesy All the best.

Because it must have been very longtime you noticed. And because of that, the one you noticed when you were noticing might have eluded your memory. So it seems you need new noticing.

It is called biodiversity. Nature knows why they are theee. Why not ask her. That is why you see whiteman come to Africa to make documentaries about all that and we Africans pay to watch them on satelite TV. For them to pay countries to maintain their rainforest shows they understand how nature works. Rather we are busy clearing and building unproductive mansions everywhere,

@OP

Your username suggest that you may be happy and surprise to see your comrades roaming freely in their natural habitat. But if you are for one day intimated by them, pack your things and head back where you came from and leave our cute little creatures alone. LOL

LizyL: Ever since i moved here last year, i noticed the amount of lizards all over the place. Why are there so many?

Because due to recent Bomb blasts by Boko Haram in the North, the lizards are rapidly migrating. If na u u no go take off from danger zone? grin grin grin
Re: Why Are There So Many Lizards In Nigeria? by clem2love(m): 5:22pm On Jul 10, 2012
good ideal why waste time why not catch as much as you can then start exportation of lizard to place like were you are from.

sorry i dont know were you from but believe will make much of $ in return.

Good luck !!!!!!
