What Is This Called In Your Language? by popplm(op): 6:01pm On Nov 17, 2023*

This is a nutritious meat that sustained most homes in my home town during the 1983 crisis and military government austerity that led to famine. Its called "kánnì" in my l9cal language and I don't know what it's called in English. Do you know this creature and what is it called in your local language?

In Nija there was no austerity in 1993 only in 1983 during Buhari's debut run as military head of state

This is more proteinous than meats. Grand ma do use the fried dry one for African salad.

Sperm booster also.
