HardMirror:
they are edible but hosts a dangerous parasite just as snails. so it is risky to eat them

If eaten raw. There are some parts of Nigeria where they are eaten but they are cooked.

The weather in Jos is very cold compared to most parts of Nigeria. Jos used to be the best place to live in Nigeria. Before all the killings started.

Lol I'm not. What they are calling a slug is possibly a leech or even a mopane worm.

It doesn’t matter as it doesn’t change the name of the animal. Loads of slugs can be found in Jos Nigeria.

The black ones that almost look like the creature in the OP's picture aren't slugs but leeches. Very hard to kill almost imposisible via physical force and very rubbery. Salt kills them horribly....

We called them kulukulu in Jos back in the day!
This one In PH

@bold; this is a slug and not a leech

There are Slugs that are black in colour like the one @Podium posted

There are also slugs that have patterns on them (Like the one @Poloyanabo2 posted below)

There are also some that are brown in colour like the one the @Op (@pseudonomer) posted

There are also ones that are grey in colour as well
