sammyfrosh:Being native is subjective since its a tool use in warfare in these past times; Asia, Africa(Ethiopia &north Africa), Europe. The only reason it was not successfully reared here, is the same for most beast of burden. Camel= rakunmi Donkey= ketekete Horse= esin 1 Like 1 Share |

eby001: It’s not a tool in warfare in most sub Saharan Africa bar maybe Egypt and other parts of North Africa. If I have spare time I will check or ask my guys on the Carnivora forum to see how or when horses came to the African continents then I will post it. But the truth is that it isn’t native here. 1 Like |

gregyboy: A man without eye, understanding or wisdom knows that it's not possible for people in more than 150 LGAs and in about 9 states, also in about 6 other countries to come out from people with less than 7 LGAs, no matter how strong you people have refused to give birth or engaged in family planning. Igodomigodo rather came out from Eastern Ondo state, one of the Yoruba's state with 18 LGAs. Continue wailing on every thread bro, Bini is nothing to Yoruba except her ruling house. Everything from your Oba, Aiyelala, Ogun, Umole and other culture, religion, traditions and many names of persons and things are Yorubas! 3 Likes |

ThatFairGuy:Yeah I know right. Since they both resembles each other. But most frogs are semi aquatic i.e they live in watery environment while toads lives on land. Another ways to distinguish both of them is their webbed feets that’s more pronounced in frogs but not in toads. 1 Like 1 Share |
