ibadan people ignorant people nah only food dem sabi chop

sorry to say people..the woman might be ignorant like many i dont blame her for raising such alarm... where my problem lays is if the fissh was froshen and and left to defrose how wil the fish com alive ... dats onetin we shld ask ourselves.. we shld be able to dig deep into issues not jst wait to be told and u draw conclusions

This is embarrassing

nawa for our people sha. i even learn that the fish is 'omo iyemoja' and crying for help dat she should be carried to eleyele dam and afterward fortune wil be for her? naija?

Nawa for people sef tot they said d fish had human features . So where are such features? SMH for rumour mongers

Too much of Nollywood, de bane of our society. τ̲̅ђe movies they churn out lack every thing yu can call education. It's beta our unborn children don't know wat Nollywood is wen they arrive. Ibadan peeps don't tell me yu use nokia torch as fones. We in de South need pix.

Snake seen by one man/woman is imagine as python

Giant octopus - extreme animals - BBC wildlife

From 45 seconds on the video

Hmmmm, una weldone oi!
Some questions bothering me;
1. Does d creature came back to life or dead?
2. If yes, does it means that the creature withstand the frozen temperature for preserving it for days (from shipping, storage n storage).
3. Anybody with a clearer n true picture should post, let d Animalogy analyse for us.

drnoel:
even the police got it wrong. I suspected it would be either an octopus or a squird immediately i heard the story.

I decided to test my 5 and 7 - year old kids, and asked them to name the creature displayed on my computer screen.
Instantly, they both said, Squid!

Education and extensive knowledge/ exposure are the keys to unlock gross ignorance and stupidity of the
ordinary Nigerians. The most outdated belief systems need to be dismantled with proper educational programs.

wonder y every1 here is tinking d same way. Atleast,d poor woman knws what she went 2buy in d market and what it eventually turned to.am sure she didnt go 2d market 2buy a squid,she went 2buy a fish which she is familiar with and one way or d oda,she find a squid afterwards,ofcourse she wuld raise an alarm. Even if she was an educatedwoman,it wuld av bin d same reaction na... #justsaying

Police called the sQuid a baby octopus! That's obviously a gbagaun! But ill advice their governor update the school curriculum with fish studies to save this kind of fake alarm........ibadan people

For where you go see clearer picture,

The Oyo State capital was thrown into confusion on Tuesday when a middle-age woman, Ramota Salawu, raised the alarm thata fish she bought at Gege area of the town suddenly turned into a half human.

Hundreds of residents trooped to Akindele Compound, Gege, to catch a glimpse of the ‘miracle fish’ in a bucket where it was kept.



Ms. Salawu, who claimed to have bought the strange fish at Oke Ado, where she usually buys the item, claimed that it developed into aliving being shortly after it defrosted.

So people in the SW don't know what a squid is? Awolowo's "Free Education" is truly a waste!

knowledge they say is power. many nigerians r facilitating in crude n orthodox knowledge. knowledge in which they learnt 4rm their ancestors n they av 4gotin dat those knwldge r no more useful in d golden eras of our. so education encoupld wit knowledge is d key 2 unlocking great exposure n civilization. so ibadan citizens stop calling an octopus an alien in human 4m

Jakumo:

I second this motion. Arrest ALL octopussies on sight.

Ahhh....Octopussy....lovely book and movie.

Those inner city Ibadan ppl have inundated their senses with mystical and ghostly hallucinations by constantly listening to various ridiculous super ghost story series on yoruba radio programs. These stories educate them to the reverse and dumb them fatally down. Hence the reason why Ms Ramota's brain could not connect anything normal or natural 2 what she was seeing that this could be another aquatic creature she has never seen before but instead, she immediately concluded it was strange and aligned it with all the strange information already stored in her mental database and cried out for help.

If the government is not ready to at least enlighten the ppl, we can never move forward. Get those ridiculously unfounded super stories off the radio, the majority of low class ppl might like them but it is not helping them. Replace the programs with more educative programs. I might not be updated with the currently popular of those programs but I am sure they will still have them, so get rid of them now!!!

Ignorance is a disease, kids please stay in school!

This is serious Ibadan people must come out of their old oyo empire mentality even including their journalists, i really mean it.

Oh God, how much more can i thank you for giving me the opportunity to leave this jungle called Nigeria.

Obviously, Ramota, her Father (Holding Qu'ran and reciting all sorts), neighbors and Clerics that were called did not have any form of education!
Nigeria is in serious trouble. Haba, kilode....is it only fish (and all the mami water fable) we know that lives in the water ni??
Ibadan/Nigeria/ Goodluck Jonathan and Minister of or na for Education.......... i hail o!

preshuzpearl: Ignorance is a deadly disease. Chai, people should learn to visit the zoos more often

Eheenn! Really? Oya Madam, pls tell me any Nigerian Zoo where they have SQUIDS!

pistol: I never believed the human fish story.
What we need in this country is education,quality education to emancipate our lives and existence.
We are currently bugged down by the insensitivity of the political class and the religious bourgeois.

Nigerians are so gullible it defies logic! They are afraid of the iroko tree, of the evil forest, of the night owl, of the stream etc and with so much superstitions as to doubt their 'born again' status.

na wa 4 dis kind ibadan people o.

Illitracy is a diesease. I knew it wasn't a true story from the get go. And why is the woman being held? What are the charges?

So much for the enlightened educated region. Can you imagine that in a region that always boast that they are way ahead of every other region educationally and in their biggest city, no one could identify an octopus. Na wa o!

justin04: Illitracy is a diesease. I knew it wasn't a true story from the get go. And why is the woman being held? What are the charges?

for her safety . the residents might lynch her if they are not convinced the mammy water is actually a squid!
