Why are you arguing with the guy sef. This Nairaland mods dey mess up at times sef. Na one mod push this misinformation to FP
See as the guy dey yarn okpata with inn full chest.
There are different species or rats. The one we Yoruba call okete is pouch/Gambian rat. It is different from the ones found in gutters with it's distinctly elongated tail with a white tip. It can be found in domestic dwellings ,gutters etc cuz of urbanisation. That's does not make it less edible for this that can eat it.
If I kill one in the bush, I can eat it but not one found in a gutter or soakaway/sewage pit and the likes just cuz it's gross though they are the same species.

The Chinese, Vietnamese, Tibetans etc that eat the domestic rat species nko, shey dem die

MartinCorridon:
Obidients go shed blood

rightminds:
Is like you guys are high on cow dung. This animal you just defamed is what some of us in the village take a lot of efforts to hunt and dug a very deep hole before we can catch.

It's true that the animal can be caught domestically but they're mostly found in the forest specifically inside holes. You can't just talk bad of what you know nothing about just because you're a city boy.

Oga if you catch 100s of them I'll text you my address make you send them to me. I need them for a better experiment.

Gotocourt:
Comrade leave matters, Na their family, same village people

DrChukki:
You're not totally correct. What the guy you mentioned ate was Bush Rabbit... The one they call 'Ewi' in Igbo

Grasscutter is 'Nchi'

Both are bush meats and edible

BigCowHornn:
You seem to be very ignorant or shall we say confused as to what Bushmeat really is


Gutter rat is the one you find been Cities... The houses and the gutter

Gutter rat is black in color I'm very smelly. It is a carrier of several diseases and pledges

Bush rat on the other hand is only found in the bush and most times grows much bigger than gutter rat.

The bush rat is brownish in color, smells like a typical Bush meat living in the forest and is where cleaner

People have been eating Bush road for over 500 years. It is sweet rich and delicious

Guttar rat on the other hand stinks. Nobody eats such a thing

timota:
That thing u call rat is known as rabbit,the tail is white and some are even bigger that grass cutter,it does not come out in the day time like the rat does,it lives in a hole well prepared with bedroom,storage, sitting room and the most important emergency escape door.it eats everything as u say but if u go to his storage u will find palm kennel,maize and ground nut depending on region,it is not rat

Leepeak:
So no better news again na rat and grasscutters

DEFENSE
'War beyond the region': IRGC vows to 'lay enemies in black dust' if Iran faces new aggression
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has warned that if aggression against Iran is repeated, the regional war that had previously been promised will this time be extended beyond the region, and that devastating blows would be delivered from places the enemy cannot imagine.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the IRGC addressed the United States directly, saying the "American-Zionist enemy" has failed to learn from repeated major strategic defeats at the hands of the Islamic Revolution and has once again resorted to threats.

"Although they attacked us with the full capabilities of two armies – the most expensive armies in the world – we did not bring all the capacities of the Islamic Revolution into action against them," the statement said.

"But now, if aggression against Iran is repeated, the regional war that had been promised will this time be drawn beyond the region, and our crushing blows will lay you in black dust in places you cannot imagine."

The statement, issued under the Qur'anic verse "Fight the leaders of disbelief – indeed they have no [commitment to] oaths – that they might cease" (Surah Al-Tawbah, verse 12), said the IRGC would demonstrate its power on the battlefield rather than through empty statements or virtual pages.

"We are men of war, and you will see our power on the battlefield, not in hollow statements or virtual pages," the IRGC said. "And there is no victory except from God, the Almighty, the Wise."

The warning comes amid escalating war rhetoric from US President Donald Trump, who has threatened in recent days to launch renewed strikes against Iran if indirect diplomatic discussions do not conclude in an agreement.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also warned earlier on Wednesday that any return to war with Iran would bring “many more surprises.”

The brutal US-Israeli aggression on Iran was launched on February 28 with deadly airstrikes that hit an elementary school in Minab, assassinated Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, and killed senior Iranian officials and commanders.

The Islamic Republic retaliated to the US-Israeli strikes by firing hundreds of drones and missiles at US-Israeli military and commercial targets across the region.

The Russian president’s official visit reinforces what both sides have described as a “no-limits” relationship


Chinese President Xi Jinping is hosting Russian President Vladimir Putin for a two-day official visit in Beijing packed with talks and events aimed at deepening ties amid geopolitical and economic turmoil linked to the war in the Middle East.

Putin’s visit comes days after Xi’s summit with US President Donald Trump and coincides with the 25th anniversary of the Russia-China Treaty of Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation, a landmark agreement that laid the foundation for the countries’ strategic partnership.

Putin arrived in Beijing on Tuesday night accompanied by a high-level delegation that includes senior Kremlin officials, ministers, and the heads of major Russian companies and financial institutions, including Kremlin investment envoy Kirill Dmitriev, Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina, and Russian space chief Dmitry Bakanov.


Wednesday began with one-on-one and expanded-format talks between Putin and Xi. Speaking to reporters, Xi described the discussions as “deep, friendly, and productive,” saying they covered a broad international agenda. Putin called Russia-China ties a “model of interstate relations in the modern world,” arguing the partnership is built on equal rights, mutual support, and “genuine friendliness.”

According to the Kremlin, around 40 agreements are expected to be signed during Putin’s visit. Putin and Xi have already signed a joint statement extending the Russia-China Treaty of Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation, as well as a declaration on building a multipolar world, stating that attempts by “some states” to dominate global affairs, impose their interests, and restrict other countries’ sovereign development have “failed.”

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also confirmed Russia would extend its visa-free regime with China, saying the “practice has proved itself positively.” Xi meanwhile noted that despite the “difficult international situation,” bilateral trade had exceeded $200 billion, with turnover between January and April alone rising 20%, which he described as “not an easy feat.”

Say no to the terrorists regime in Iran. The Iranian regime of terror exported terrorism to many countries of the world including Nigeria. Now innocent people are paying the price.

Imagine the pains these students are going through in the hands of terrorists. You that sympathize with terrorists, how would you feel if these students were your little brother?

Bush meat is not the specific name of any animal...


In Nigeria terms it is any animal (apart from the usual goat, cattle, pork, etc) found and usually hunted in the bush.


So an antelope, hedgehog, even snakes are referred to as bush meat etc. As long as it's not the usual domesticated animals.


I used to pass through ore and along the road you would see different animals on display some of which I don't even know the names or identify... all are referred to as bush meat because they were hunted and came from the forest!
