Treatment of some medical conditions. Mostly in Asia.

Asians, especially Japan and China, are one of the biggest buyers.

Those people eat weird stuff.

They are the major merchants of poached wildlife.

I really pity your life.
Everyday you have to create new monikers to do this your begging. Only today you created this moniker with already over 100 posts for your begging.
Imagine if you were using this energy to market something legit and people will like to buy. With over 100 post a day and you get just 10 people that can buy that product you are selling and you have a commission of 1k, that is just 10k for the day.

But here you are wasting your life on begging into 2025. And to imagine how foolish you are you think thesame people on this forum that see you everyday changing moniker to beg will help you.

Grow up before it becomes too late

You guys shouldn’t pay attention to this fraudster because his only business here on nairaland is to defraud people in the name of begging.

He opens different accounts everyday just for this.

Ab. A. A!

The best bet is to go through family and friends.

I know some people actually need help, but people like M.A., who is using over 1000 monikers to defraud innocent Nairalanders, make me look at everyone who comes for help as a fraudster.

Below is M.A’s bank account and some of the monikers the fraudster is using to scam innocent people.

They are expensive and pangolins are going out of extinction

They cost about $3000 per kg

Re: Nigeria Seizes 2 Metric Tons Of Pangolin Scales, Arrests 1 Suspect by maasoap(m): 6:01pm On Dec 26, 2024

That's 2000 kilograms! How many pangolins were killed to achieve such feat?

What if they are just pangolin farmers ?

Don't people farm chicken and when it's ripe, kill it, and sell in the market ?

People do cage male and female pangolin and in 5 years, they will have multiple generations that can generate you over 20k dollars.

That's what civil service or many businesses in Nigeria can't do for you.

Please if you can trap me male and female pangolin without injuries or deaths, bring them alive and I'll buy from you. We will do video call to finalise the transaction.

Pangolins have very low reproductive rates...

Which makes it difficult if not impossible to establish an effective breeding system.

Pangolins don't do well in captivity in short!

Is there any uselessness of the scales? I think they should look into that first so as to curb future cruelty.

Lols, you mean you don't know that pangolin scales are a sweet source of ivory? Apart from going after elephant, warthog and rhinos etc for their tusk, pangolin scales and similarly scaled animals provide a rich source of ivory cherished in jewelry, dentistry and other select areas that's hush about so that sources remain in the dark about theirs true value.

This is what the Agric and Quarantine services ought to educate citizens, their officers and forest rangers about but they are too busy looking to do the work the admin should have done in the first place, pay them properly, enforce service conduct, educate and create awareness and most importantly create an avenue whereby these extractions can be ethically carried out while generating the maximum revenue possible by building the industries which will produce some (if not all) of the final product(s) from the ivory we ethically and sustainably extract. That way, we don't just gain profit from having the resource, we gain through all the primary, secondary and as many tertiary supply chain we can hit.

But leaders here just want to be adamant implementing a system that will enforce streamline services but cycle problems that have gotten their solutions decades upon decades ago so we can use our time much more meaningful developing better environments and ideals

You can't farm it.
The reproduction rate is very low.
And as you can see, trading it is illegal
