Nwafor said he makes an average of N20,000 weekly in sales of the frogs. He also spoke about the relationship between the frog marketers and the villagers.

His words: “Because of the understanding that exists between us, we the frog marketers and our Hausa (hosts), our business has kept growing by the day with more people coming to purchase. Some (patrons) even export to Asia."

Ajiboye, 56, said the trade in frogs earns her huge returns on a weekly basis. She said a small carton of the reptile fetched as much as N5000, with a piece sold at N200.

She distributes the delicacy across states in the South-west, South-east and South-south, adding that people even paid upfront for the frogs.

On his part, one Solomon Nwafor from Abia state said he is a hunter of frogs in the village in Kano. Nwafor said he wakes up as early as possible in the morning to hunt, and sometime late in the evening too.

Although in the north, people from different parts of Nigeria visit the market to purchase frogs in large quantities to take back home.

According to the report, the buyers have erected camps at the village and their activities have had a positive effect on the village’s economy.

However, some of the patrons spoken to said the trade in frogs is not a new line of business.

One Sadikatu Ajiboye said she has been in the business for 15 years. According to her, she was bringing kolanut up north to Kano, until she realized that frog meat have a greater turnover in the south.

A report by Premium Times has uncovered a thriving frog market at Dorawa Salau Kadawa, a village in Garun Mallam local government area of Kano state.

FIFA received 53 proposals from seven different countries for a new trophy, before opting for Gazzaniga’s design.

The FIFA contest stipulated that the winner would not hold the rights to his work and so Silvio Gazzaniga never profited directly from images of the World Cup trophy.

“But as compensation he gained more work on other cups,” his son said. “He became Mr. Cups.”

Silvio Gazzaniga also designed the UEFA Cup, European Super Cup and many other international trophies. However, he will be remembered above all for the World Cup.

Gazzaniga leaves behind two children, along with grandchildren and great grandchildren.

“The 18-carat solid gold trophy weighs approximately six kilograms (13 pounds). It depicts a moment of joy: two players celebrating with their arms outstretched and a globe resting on the backs of their shoulders.

“The lines spring out from the base, rising in spirals, stretching out to receive the world.

“From the remarkable dynamic tensions of the compact body of the sculpture rise the figures of two athletes at the stirring moment of victory,” Silvio Gazzaniga once said.

“I designed it to reward heroism. But not superhuman heroism, it’s not a conventional cup,” Gazzaniga said in a 2002 interview with AP.

According to Giorgio Gazzaniga, his father knew his design couldn’t be understood on paper, so he brought a plaster model to show FIFA.

“The jury understood right away that it was a very photogenic cup.

“It’s easy to lift and beautiful when raised. He created a universal trophy,” Giorgio Gazzaniga said.

Silvio Gazzaniga had designed and created the World Cup trophy in 1971 after Brazil retained the right to keep the Jules Rimet trophy by winning its third World Cup in 1970.

“He just didn’t wake up this morning. It was a peaceful death,” Giorgio Gazzaniga told The Associated Press on Monday, October 31.

According to Giorgio, his father had been in the hospital recently for a series of minor ailments.

Reacting to Gazzaniga’s death, FIFA president Gianni Infantino said: “The World Cup is a mythic object for the players and for all football lovers.

“We will be eternally grateful. I express my condolences by joining the pain of the family.”

FIFA’s website also quoted what Gazzaniga said after he designed the World Cup.

She is being hailed as one of the hottest police officers in Kenya. In fact, men in the country are simply daydreaming that they would be more than glad to have such beautiful officer arrest them.

It is not every day you come across a smoking hot law enforcement officer so it is no wonder this Kenyan policewoman is trending right now.


An unnamed Administration Police officer got people drooling when photos of her made it to the internet recently.

Na big fat wicked lie from the pit of hell

Hmmmm... Teaching you is hard.

Igboid:
You are not serious. Oyigbo is only part of Rivers state because of the mammar Nasir boundary adjustment program of 1975 that carved out Oyigbo from old Imo state and added it to old Rivers, simply because oil was discovered in large commercial quantity in that part of old Imo state.

No Ogoni town in Oyigbo LGA, Ogoni in Tai LGA share boundary with Ndoki towns in Oyigbo. After the last clash between Tai people and Ndokis over Okoloama boundary they( Tai) had learnt their lessons and stayed clear off Oyigbo. Any Ogoni Man in Afam Ukwu or Afam nta, is staying there as a resident tenant.

Do your researches again, your tools are faulty.

mandax:
But take away Igbo from Nigeria, you shall be a slave to rest of Nigeria. Even the 13% derivation, they shall remove it, forcefully convert your people to that Arab religion.


You people survive Nigeria's ethnic politics at the shoulders of the Igbo.




Later you come to recount how you were liberated from the Igbo. But you hardly understand that those you call liberators fully colonized your brains, environmental and resources.
Abegggi, if you are truly from the southsouth. But I suspect that you are from the most SHOFISTIWRETCHED ethnic group in Nigeria near Benin Republic. They are the ones driven by divide and rule to speak like you.

You need revival crusade for your matter.

RickyTan:
The land is Igboland and since you yourself are not Igbo the Atlantic Ocean or creeks is loading for you

Which land?
Does that landscape look mountainous and confused as igbo, or share your double historical linage of Ethiopia and Isreal?
Take time oh, no make me get ban for your head oh.

ThumbzTNA:
No dey accuse us of wetin you no fit prove.

Where this one from?
Na lie?

Igboid:
Opobo and Bonny had Many Igbo slaves who became natives there and continued speaking their Igbo languages, passing it down to their descendants.

No Igbo man left Anambra or Enugu to go and force Igbo language on Bonny or Opobo.
Be rational for once.

And for the records, no one is forcing Igbo identity on any one, you are either Igbo or you are not. Loyalty can't be forced.

Hmmmmmmm

RickyTan:
Chibuike Amaechi is Igbo
Odili another Igbo raised In Onitsha
Only people that will govern rivers are Igbos meaning majority of the people are Igbos.
So die or move into the Atlantic child of hate

We no b Igbo... Period!!!
Na so Igbo make Opobo and Bonny forget to speak their language (Ibani), come go speak Igbo, if not for just one community left still speaking Ibani... The legendary Finima community.
