That is not an Iguana that is a Comondo lizard or Monitor Lizard.

Every community with its own believe Africa is richly blessed with culture and traditions

Even people who schooled in UK are not getting jobs...I wonder what this your advert is about. Caveat Emptor....

Why are people so ignorant. Those are monitor lizards, not iguanas

Some years back my in-laws mother passed away she's frm d orogun, n she wud be buried there n her house built there.

So we attended d burial, I saw the iguanas living with people in dat town real life n it doesn't harm them.

Infact after d burial ceremony, it was evenin and we had to use our private car to convey visitors first out of the town. I was in dat orogun till around 9pm before d car finally came to pick us. We were so scared.

Funny enuf before d granny passed away in her son's house in lagos, a small iguana was often seen on their walls, n d granny warned it must not be killed.

I still miss her so much like yesterday

You cannot eat an Iguana.



No one eats Iguana.



The OP is a confusionist. What the OP put there is a monitor Lizard/komodo dragon not an Iguana.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monitor_lizard

Thank you o. I thought I was the only one that saw this.


People don't know the difference between a Komodo dragon/Monitor Lizard and a chameleon/Iguana.


Especially this OP. He comes with articles containing half truths. The last time I challenged him, he turned it to something else.

This ain't iguana na, its either monitor lizard or komodo dragon. iguanas are herbivorous and has been domesticated but this ones re very deadly especially the komodos which is quite a giant like crocodile but bigger. it can perform fight of dominance by standing upright on its hinge legs, it tears larger preys into two by spinning it self on the ground , the slimy siliva is considered poisonous. the first is iguana. The second is the komodo

Na true dem oh, if u see waitin do one of my friend skin wen he mistakenly passed through a place d animal was killed, he almost die oh, he has to go to d village for some traditional treatment....

This is komodo dragon and not iguana.

These animals look like Comoros Dragon and not Iguana. The adaptive radiations of these animals tend towards Comoros dragon. Any Animal Ecologist in the house to adjudge?

It is only in Nigeria people worship pepper soup material

Abi o. These things are not iguanas na...I was wondering when we started having Iguanas in Nigeria. They're rather monitor lizards, but not the comodo dragon. The people of Orogun don't have "Sacred Iguanas", they have "Sacred Monitor Lizards"

Guy pls. This is not iguanas ooo,this is commodore and it's very dangerous bcs the saliva is infested with virus and bacteria. Don't even dares,

Op thanks for this post.. Atleast there are some people from Urhobo who re like me and Fratermathy who luvs informing people about our people and culture.. Its just so unfortunate that most of Our Urhobo Sons and Daughter don't know how to speak our language neither do they understand our culture.. Wat a pity.

Lemme call on Our Okpako on this forum Cc: Olorogun chief LKO , Freemanan what you say about this ?

I still rep my people abeg orogun for life.....

From my own understanding of these sacred animals that you'll almost find across the areas inhabited by Niger Delta indegenous people and other civilization was that it was actually a form of conservation effort by our ancestors to ensure that such animals do not go into extinction due to their limited presence in a particular area but these days civilization has finally caught up with most of them though some communities have managed to preserve them by instilling fear of offending deities if you dare kill or harm them knowingly.

okay...

So in essence u see the animal god when evil is about to come

OP. This is very true. My village in Delta State too has this culture and traditions, but ours is cow. Nobody touches ogene's cow. They use it as sacrifice to the first man and woman that protected them during the time of war. I learnt that the man and woman were sacrificed live, plastering them in a sitting position. They still protect people i guess, because my mom had an encounter with one of them that she came home to tell the story. Most communities in Delta State still hold their tradition in high esteem no matter how religious they are.

They r following the tradition of the Abohs from where they came. Abohs don't kill iguana also
