Why didn’t they get a female to procreate or look for another skol with a female and do a breeding program. Also why collect just 50/100 Naira for entering a zoo?


Did you read that write up correctly?
Didn't you read where it said no fund?
Where u wan see a chimp for this country, more like a female one?
If they correct more than the students could afford to go into the school, I bet people will lose interest!

Almost as old as Our darling country.

He witnessed all the time of the civil war and survived it all.
Survived all the guns and explosives!

#RESPECT to this Chimpanzee.

Say hello to Ceaser and King Kong over there.

You will be missed. wink


This is a very noble way to honour and preserve him.
Very Good initiative.


We are only a bit disappointed that they couldn't give him a name for the 50 long years he spent on earth.
In Obodo Oyinbo, by now, they will be addressing him by his name and not '50 year Old Chimpanzee', just like the Ceaser we mentioned above!

Not too late to give him one tho,
Let's look for a befitting name now, thinking...........

For it is written, it is not good for a man(chimp) to be alone,
The chimp probably died from HYPOACTIVE SEXUAL DESIRE DISORDER (HSDD)
72 virgin apes await him in monkeys paradise

The only surviving Chimpanzee, 50 years old, in the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) Zoo has died, Prof Chris Okoye, Head of Department, Zoology and Environmental Studies, has announced.

Okoye told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Nsukka on Wednesday, that the male Chimpanzee which died fortnight ago had been embalmed.

According to him, staff and students of the department feel bad that the only surviving chimpanzee in the zoo has died, though as a result of old age.

“As the tradition of the department, the chimpanzee has been embalmed and deposited in the department’s Museum for practical and for people on excursion to the museum to see.

“We do not eat or bury animals in our zoo when they die, rather we embalm and keep them in the museum,” he said.

The HOD said that the female chimpanzee, usually referred as the wife of this chimpanzee, died five years ago and since then the male chimpanzee had been lonely.

“Efforts to replace the female chimpanzee as well as some other animals that died in the zoo hit ‘brick-wall’ due to lack of fund,” he said.

On why zoos were gradually becoming extinct in the country, the HOD attributed it to low yielding revenue from zoos and very capital intensive to run and maintain.

“It costs huge amount of money to buy animals like chimpanzees, lions, and elephants as well as to feed them.

“The N50 or N100 collected at the gate from visitors as ticket is not even enough to feed these animals not to talk of maintaining them or getting a replacement when any of them dies.

“That may be the reason many people do not venture into zoo business because they know there is no profit in it; it is just for fun and sight-seeing.

He however said, zoo was very important as it provided protection for endangered species of animals as well as served as a place for people to get connected to nature.

“Zoos play important roles in wildlife conservation, research and education.

“Both federal and state governments should do something urgently to improve funding of zoos in the country else, in the next 10 years, zoos may completely go into extinction,” he said.

If u know what ure doing people will support u. How hard is it to put the zoo in a reasonable state and create attractions around it so people can find it worth paying smtn for? If u can’t maintain it why not just shut it down and sell the animals out.

This chimp ias lucky to be 50 years old. The Lions at Gamji Gate are underfed and I fear they may not last for two more years. Public officers in this country don't care a hoot about these animals because they are simply bush meat.

Your very correct about giving the chimp a name and am sure it must have one cos its a normal practice in zoos especially for large primates like chimps.....I remember the one that died in UniIbadan zoo years back...it was called HARUNA and was embalm like this...
