₦airaland Forum

I was going to ASCON this morning, when I saw people gathering watching the big turtle cough by a farmer. I shouldn't be left alone in the bus, I went there to feed my eyes. I wasn't able to know the actual price the man wants to sell it. But, I was hearing a man saying "I will pay 30k".
I quickly take some of the turtle pictures and I said I will post it on nairaland when chanced at work.

That turtle looks hundreds of years old. If only it could tell us some things about ancient days.

Op Go back to that market and ring bells all over telling them that I, Fortified City, the Master of the Earth and the caretaker of the universe said nobody should kill and eat. Let it die a natural death.

Sorry to bust your bubble, but if you go back (too) down Nairaland memory lane per animals that have been caught anywhere in Nigeria...suffice to say this beautiful creature is ALREADY dead. It just doesn't know it yet.

In Bebop's voice, "I'm gonna make turtle soup out of you."

The animal skin can be used as roofing sheet

What a beautiful creature. I hope they don't kill it.
