Well, in essence we are saying the same thing which is that the donkey is being consumed as meat, if not by Northerners then by some Southerners.

donkey meat is usually consumed by the easterners, forbidden to eat in Islam, it is a work animal in Islam. they come here in the north to buy the animal some as low as 40,000 especially from anambra state, I have many igbo friends from anambra , the sellers are happy cuz its just a work animal .

Chimaokigwe:
Manufacturing and selling donkeys.

The donkeys are processed into meat for local consumption and export.

Agbaletu:
Taste nice, but it has one kind odour, the meat is red with lots of fat.

From the bolded, it looks like something that should not be eaten...

Chai! The customers can sue if they get to find out.
Thank God I don't do beer parlours.
Damn!!

You mean you don't know that some people see donkey meat as a substitute for cow meat? Though they sell them to people who actually think that they are consuming cow meat. Ditto camel meat. This is very common in the Northern part of the country. Some of that 'suya' people consume aren't from cow meat alone.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Funny you.

all parts of the donkey are extremely expensive in far-east asia now, due to the potency of trado-medicines over there. the rate at which its skin and oil is used now, without donkey farming, the poor animal will face extintion in less than 20 years time, especially in Africa.

For those of you who do not know donkey skin is more expensive than a full Cow, it's a multi million dollars business, they use to export the Donkey skin to China were they use it for medicinal purpose

Exactly, even those kilishi mostly are also from sick horses too.

The donkey is a multi-purpose animal, able to carry out a wide variety of tasks under very limited circumstances. Donkeys are fast learners, surprisingly strong (they can carry loads about half their body weight), resistant to many diseases, have a long working life, require little water, and are easy to manage. Most importantly to many animal owners in developing countries, donkeys are much cheaper to purchase than oxen, horses and other animals used for working purposes. Further, donkeys are able to withstand heat and dry conditions, but find difficulty with cold and wet climates, making clear their relevance to developing nations.

While traditional agricultural practices in the global South have changed considerably as a result of modernization and globalization, donkeys still play a central role in providing for the livelihoods of many small-scale farmers. Their roles differ from country to country and farm to farm, but in general, donkeys help increase farmers’ productive potential and positively contribute to their well-being.

Nawa o! Ngoobaby, all this full page on top donkey matter? Are you a lecturer?

Not really albeit correct, the meat is recommended for diabetic crew and other stuffs. Not neccessary that it is secretly swapped for cow meat.

BrandSpurNG:
The Hon. Minister of State for Agriculture and Rural Development, Sen. Heineken Lokpobiri, today, visited the Donkey Ranch and Processing Factory in Umuonyianka, Ufuma, Orumba North LGA of Anambra State.

The Hon. Minister was accompanied by Professionals from the Departments of Veterinary and Quarantine Services to inspect the facility.

The aim of the visit is to ascertain how the Agric Ministry can support them so as to increase their productivity for export.

Hmmm......very educative.

You sound like a poorly brought up Teenager. Your mates (especially from the East) have long left you behind

adecz:


What is "ranch" here.

This is just a donkey market.

All the sick, old donkeys and horses in the north
are taken to the Igbos in the East to slaughter
for meat as they cannot afford beef.

Only Igbos eat donkey in Nigeria.

Export kôr, exit nî!!

Anybody eating nkwobi in the
East is eating donkey.

Agbaletu:
Yes, in the Eastern part of Nigeria. I first ate it in Enugu State

how does it taste?

Wow

You're a humongous idiot

donbachi:

In Enugu I don't eat meat in restaurant and when I want to cook I rather go to the army barracks to buy meat,just can't trust these guys

Lordofthewest:
You're a humongous idiot

thanks and God bless you sir.

Donkey ranch or fresh Rico storage facility! Time wasters

What are they processing! Donkey meat or Tico meat!

Agbaletu:
Yes, in the Eastern part of Nigeria. I first ate it in Enugu State

First ate mine in Benin

doctokwus:
I don't understand?
What is the commercial and agricultural value of rearing Donkeys or am I missing something?

In warri donkey is the cheapest meat you can get even pork meat us more expensive than donkey and this donkey blood and flesh Snell's badly

If not for strict regulations, there will be no donkeys in Nigeria again cos there is huge demand for donkey skins in China

EWEDURIAN

There is a lot of ignorance on this thread. Chinese demand for donkey skin for the production of their traditional and herbal supplements explains the existence of that donkey "ranch". Chinese demand for Donkey is enormous to the extent that a number of African countries have banned it's export to China fearing a disastrous decline in domestic donkey populations.

Don't be deceived about donkey meat consumption in the East. A few people may, but that's not the reason there is a spike in demand for donkeys in the North from the East. Igbo business guys have keyed into the Chinese market to supply them as supplies from other African countries have fallen.

It is a pity that the Nigerian government is not even understanding what is driving the new trend nor its implications. Worse of, ignorant nairalanders are here chasing irrelevant narratives.
