No! cow horn can not be ivory.... Just Elephant tusk and hippo horn. A fully developed tusk can cost as much as 400k dollars in the black market.

And with what is on display up there, their estimation is ok.

Did you bother to know that Elephants are classified as endangered species?
If I want to eat meat..
There are hundreds of millions of goats,pigs,cows and poultry to satiate my hunger for meat..
Not an animal that is remaining less than twenty thousand in the whole wide world..
God doesn't have to tell you not to kill them..
With great power,comes great responsibility..
As the preeminent living thing on earth..
It is your responsibility to make sure that other species are not wiped out,due to your greed..

of course they do.... but the important question IS: WHY SHOULDNT THEY? Chinese medicine has been using these for generations, and they aint about to stop now... sadly the ego of men is also in the way of common sense, so they'd rather use some of these animal parts for sexual enhancement than accept their low libido etc

China used to have elephants, but unfortunately not anymore.
Nigeria Government should investigate this case properly

Just imagine how many elephants were killed undecided Africans killing their endangered species to sell to China that are protecting theirs undecided

We sold our people for alcohol.

Africans have a big problem in valuing their resources because these Asians and Europeans are not in Africa to help Africans

Not from Nigeria its animal trafficing by Asians syndicate from Congo through Nigeria ports shipping and aeroplanes. Congo is vertually landlock.

world wildlife organisation protecting endangered species closely monitor for containers from East and South African countries from which these Asian syndicates traditionally illegally traded in endangered protected wildlife so the asian syndicates are lookinn for other places in qafrica where is not being monitored.

Don't know wetin codedly means but, processed tusks are sold commonly in markets like Ariaria- those dealing in jeweries and ishiagu materials (it's a very important part of the Igbo ishiagu attire )

Because it is scarce and ILLEGAL..
Do you wonder how many Elephants have to die,for this quantity of Tusks?

But I thought there’s something called dehusking where the Tusks are taken from the Elephants without them having to die?

Why is it so expensive? What is used for or is it just seen as precious artifacts?

That is for Park Rangers and government officials..
Poachers and Smugglers would rather murder and butcher them..
It is faster and less expensive that way..
