That turtle swam in the wrong shores. At this very moment they must be picking the speckles of their teeth.

Wrong place to be a turtle o!

This video of a leatherback turtle caught most likely in one of the Ìlàjẹ́ communities is going round. I know there's poverty and hardship in the land but we need to protect our wildlife.

If these leatherback turtles go extinct, these same people will feel it most. You know… pic.twitter.com/pJhtBzhRg5

said it helps in keeping the sea safe by eating poisonous jellyfish....why not return it to its natural habitat. Why did you kill it?

It was caught in the southwest not southeast. We don't eat anyhow in the west, we preserve things.

He/she swam to the wrong seashore on earth. By now, it would have been watered down the stomach.

They would make lots of money by keeping the turtle alive than eating it.

Hunger is bad.

It's long been dismembered and cooked. Poverty? No, it's the mentality. Will kill any animal just for killing sake and if it can be eaten we kill to eat or sell as meet. Even humans that are different we kill. Different religion or tribe. Kill. Dog kill and eat. Snake kill and eat...I can go on. Life is not sacred me myself and I is sacred and having money

Alagba lived in the Ogbomoso palace in Oyo state and died in 2019 at the age of 344 years.

The tortoise was an endless tourists' interest.

If only the government can step in to rescue this turtle, it just might survive somewhere in Nigeria for another hundred years, earning small revenue like Alagba.
