Young Ghanaian Men Praised For Returning Sea Turtle To The Ocean (photos/video) by Glimpsetv(op): 3:46pm On Apr 06, 2025
In Ghana’s Central Region, a group of young men caught a sea turtle but chose to release it back into the ocean where it rightfully belongs.

A video showing the moment they returned the turtle quickly went viral, earning widespread praise for their thoughtful and compassionate act—especially in contrast to others who might have turned the giant sea turtle into a meal.

In some parts of Africa, sea turtles and other wild animals are often considered delicacies. This is also true in certain parts of Asia, such as regions of China where seafood and exotic animals are popular.

We the desperate fishermen of Foropa Community in Bayelsa are waiting for the arrival of this Turtle at our Shore.......Only then will this turtle realize that even though the sea is large, that does not guarantee you to swim around anyhow cos we will never Forgive and free you when caught; however your pleading, your pleas will fall on our deaf ears.......

You will face the Horrible music from our ever sharp cutlasses. You can ask other sea Creatures that has previously swam into our Shores in Bayelsa; The Dolphin, the leatherback large turtle, the baby shark and a host of others that paid us a visit........They never lived to tell the story how the visitation went......It was a voyage of Horror for them all...

We the Foropa fishermen from southern Ijaw will roast you alive and consume you with a nice Gin.

For now, keep enjoying ya life on the Ghanian shores oo........Okay

That Turtle is lucky it navigated and managed to give the shores of Nigeria a wide berth! Had it made mistake and somehow found itself in Nigeria, by now it would have been the star attraction in a number of stew pots!

In fairness, it stands a chance of living to tell the tale if it washes up on the shores of most coastal states. But Bayelsa? Forget it! The poor Turtle would be as good as dead! shocked

COMRADES are speechless, I know some Africans, especially Nigerians won't be happy with this act of kindness because everything to them is MEAT

The turtle refused to come to Nigeria.
Even sea creatures are now gossiping about Nigerians and are refusing to come to our shores.

Maggi and machetes are awaiting them.

A highly commendable action.

Ghanaians try abeg. That can't happen in Nigeria. Tinubu have turned Nigerians to hungry and angry people at the same time.
Nigerians can eat anythinng and everything that crawls, walk or creep.

God punish Tinubu, his gang of APC Vampires and online bigots supporters

Not every animal is food

The way he was dragging it by the arm he may have injured it, leaving it vulnerable to any shark or killer whale.
He didn't cook it for himself but cooked it for a shark
