What is this plant called in English and Yoruba? The one that has thorn

And what are the uses of the plant?

Ignore that first guy^^^

That thing in the picture is no cactus. No way.

You can't find cacti in Africa.

The plant in the picture looks like one of the hundreds of African succulents. But as I am no qualified botanist, I can't really figure out the exact species.

OP, just Google search African succulents and try to get your answer.

That plant surely do look like cactus though it's not native to africa but it can grow here as well.

That's a cactus. Google and see for yourself

Where then do you get them o? That's a cactus fa. As if exotic plants have not been introduced to different continents before, so far they can adapt there. This cactus that can even grow in the desert will now not be grow in Nigeria? It's even in my area self where it almost went wild

That is not a cactus, man.

I know what I am saying. Or you think I haven't seen that weed you have in the picture before?

It is a succulent(such plants are generally referred to as succulents) like the cactus but it is not a cactus. Ask any botanist you know and he will tell you.

Look at this:

It is a cactus. I once had an experience with it when I was young and it was not pleasant. It doesn't just grow as weed, it is usually being sold. Do you even know if I am also a botanist?

I am not one though, but I am close.

Do you know that there are cactus succulents and non-cactus succulents?

That plant is a cactus succulent and can be classified as a cactus because of the presence of areoles at different points where its thorns spring out from.

That plant above is not a cactus.

Here is a cactus

You are so wrong. That's not the only type of cactus there is.
