I saw a thread here https://www.nairaland.com/8673699/how-ended-sunday-bush-meat and I want to set the record straight on this matter.

In Igbo land, Grasscutter is what we refer to as Bushmeat (see first and second picture below), however some Nigerians don't seem to understand the difference between bushmeat and the typical gutter rat.

Please see the pictures below, Notice the rounded head, short ear and short mouth on the grasscutter? compare that to the long mouth, long tail, long and slender long body of the gutter rat (Third picture below)

The Grasscutter is herbivorous and can be found in the bushes and forest , while the Gutter rat eats anything and can be found in the gutter eating excrement, cockroaches, dirt. It is not fit for human consumption.

This habit of catching gutter rats, killing them and trying to pass them off as bushmeat is making Nigerians look bad, the average foreigner visiting Nairaland would assume that Nigerians eat rats.

Its not a good look

In Igboland one sibling cannot claim sole ownership of family house that was build on ancestral land in the village!⁰

Good afternoon.

We are looking to return to our service of providing cars at the most affordable budget, even though in the current climate, most cars do not look affordable.

As usual, we will post cars with the cost of buying, shipping and clearing included.

oops, I never thought about it that way.
So I consume more power by turning it off and on?

Thanks for the info

My rent per month for a two bedroom apartment in Abuja here is #208,300. For a year it's #2,500,000.

richmond500:
I on AC for only 5mins and put it off when the room is cold, I do this like 7-10 times a day.
You actually consume more power this way. Appliances that use compressors, such as ACs and refrigerators/freezers consume more power to start up but once they start, consume less. So you are better off letting it run for one hour straight rather than 5 minutes x 10.

Actually, that's the best way to tame a wild animal.

Antoeni:
If you save ₦20 everyday, it will be

₦20 × 7 = ₦140 per week

₦140 × 30 = ₦4,200 per month.

₦4,200 × 365= ₦1,533,000 per year.

I care about you. Be wise and start saving now, 20 naira means a lot. Don’t sleep on it.

Throwback:
Even as a layman, I know series of actions I can take that would make cash dollars start appearing in refuse dumps in Nigeria as they would have become so useless to those stocking it up outside of the banking system, while those who have them in their domiciliary accounts will be offloading them within the approved banking currency exchange the sooner they get foreign remittances only into such accounts.

flokii:
Na the usual suspects.. they can die for money.

Thegamingorca:
You play a game of dice with someone else and not a game of die.
That's my point. It's alarming that a lot of you could not see the glaring error.

Thegamingorca:
It's "Dice" not "die"


Go school to know the difference Una say no!
