I actually planned to give fried one a taste one day.
Would You Ever Eat a Scorpion?👇
It may look shocking,but scorpions are eaten in several parts of the world. When properly prepared and cleaned thoroughly cooked,the heat denatures the venom proteins,making the venom no longer dangerous to eat. However,the stinger is often removed before cooking as an extra precaution.
Scorpions are a source of protein in some cultures and are commonly fried,roasted or grilled.
Did you know a scorpion's venom is dangerous when injected through a sting,but cooking destroys the venom, making properly prepared scorpions safe to eat?

My people, Kílo Wáyé Wáyé from @LekanFabilola is a book you must get.

I just found out that mango seed kernel is edible when roasted.
Step 1: Sun dry the seeds
Step 2: Roast the seeds on fire
Step 3: Split open the seed to expose the kernel
Step 4: Split and clean the kernel
You're good to go. I haven't tried it but I read that it's a delicacy in India.

You're right. Yorùbá has different names for the monkey species found around us. Let me give you four more examples
1. Mona monkey - Òyo or Olóyo... This is the monkey that you see most in Lekki Conservation Center
2. Collared mangabey - Òwè
3. Tantalus monkey - akítì
4. Àáyá - Red colobus monkey.
Our forebearers don't just know them, they have different proverbs that show the attributes of each species.
I was reading up on some old Yoruba idioms and realized something wild: most of us call every single monkey "ọ̀bọ".
But apparently, our ancestors had specific names for different species, and we've completely lumped them together
Take Ìjímèrè and Ẹdun, for example.
To an English speaker, they are just two different monkeys.
But in classical Yoruba culture, they aren't even treated like the same animal.
Here is what I found out (and please correct me if I’m wrong!):
🔴 Ìjímèrè (The Patas Monkey)
From what I gather, it is the reddish-brown monkey that spends a lot of time on the ground.
There's a popular phrase "Ìjímèrè baba ọ̀bọ" (meaning it's the chief or master of monkeys).
Myth tells us it used to have deep magical ties to humans.
⚫ Ẹdun (The Colobus Monkey)
It is the striking black-and-white, long-haired monkey that lives high up in the tree canopy.
What's crazy is that in deep folklore, Ẹdun is highly sacred and intimately connected to the spirit of Twins (Ìbejì).
You'll hear old lineages praised as "Omo ẹdun arìn lórí igi."
It feels like by translating everything to just "monkey" or "Ọ̀bọ," we are losing the deep history, biology, and poetry behind these animals.
I'm really curious to know what the actual backstory behind why Ìjímèrè is called the "master of monkeys" is.
And why did our ancestors link Ẹdun so closely to twins?
👇 Did you actually know the difference between these two, or have you just been calling every monkey "Ọ̀bọ" your whole life?

It's a lie. It's not possible. I know you were told. You didn't see it. No chicken lays black egg, whether accidentally or usually.
Dear @arojinle1, from your teaching and class, I strongly believe that chicken can't lay black eggs and there is a Yorùbá say that "orí adìẹ kòní burú kí ó yé dúdú", but I have something to say, Sir.
A former chairman of my local government have a pen house and almost all his layers laid black eggs.
Please what could cause it? 🤔

Even though I won't agree to the 70% part, there's truth in this tweet. I discovered that whenever I visit @LekanFabilola in Lagos and hang out with him for a few days, my drive increases. I'll just come back to Ìbàdàn with my head bursting with a lot of ideas.
The things we see, the people we meet, the connection I make...I had to tell him that hanging with him improves my drive. We were still together this time last week and I told him I'm considering making a permanent arrangement of spending at least four days to one week, every month, in Lagos.

The only problem I have with the Egbére believers is their confusion. One moment, they portray it as a metaphysical creature that is not from this realm. The next moment, they portray it as a physical creature that carries physical mats and makes noises that are audible to naked ears. Meanwhile, it cannot be both.

In secondary school, whenever they sent me to the mill to grind pepper, I would pick out every onion on the way and eat them raw. I really loved raw onion.
I'd come back with the pepper and they'd say "There's no onion in this pepper! You've eaten the onions again!"
I still wonder how they could tell.

Real OGs know this was not the original Nikita. They re-did the entire series with a different more attractive actress. Same storyline and everything

Intentionally foolish
Your specific use of “Trouble Maker” is a celebration of his constant and persistent attack via bigoted publication attacking a specific ethnicity.
You are always trying to be smart but it’s always by a pinch of a powdery grain
Not everyone is half baked like you and so we can see through you B.S
Own your celebration of bigoted views and stop trying to be smart . You have never been and I doubt you will ever be
GTFO
I know you’re an expert in animal life, so I suspect that you’re becoming increasingly animalistic.
If you must say rubbish about me, do well to write my name correctly.
I will like anyone to show where I ever endorsed the controversial views of @harreceipts against any tribe.
I don’t know why some people are outraged that I wished him a happy birthday.
What I find particularly disturbing is that most of those insulting me are the same people who have been propagating ethnic hatred on this platform.
Some of them have thrown ethnically tainted abuses at me repeatedly.
All that I see here is projection.
Because you’ve hatred in your heart against certain people, you assume that every other person is like you.
I have never judged anyone’s actions based on where they come from.
If you think that wishing Harry a happy birthday amounts to endorsing his views, then you’re either a simpleton or a mischievous person.
The toxic ethnicity and tribalism on this platform is crazy. 2023 elections really damaged Nigeria.
Dark side of otters
Dark side of otters.
First, they sometimes engage in rape. Well, you would say there are other animals that do this too right? Well, those animals do go about raping animals of other species. They have been witnessed raping baby seals on many occasions. What's worse, they most often k!ll these animals before mating with their dead bodies. NECROPHILIA!
In the video attached, you already know what the otter is trying to do. You can see the raccoon frantically struggling to escape. If an otter can get a raccoon in this position, think of other weaker animals.
They would often bite the animal in the nose to cause deep laceration and then try to drown it. Once it is dead, they then mate, thrusting their pelvis seriously. They do this with their kinds too. Drown them till they die and they start mating.
Another one, they hold pups to ransom in order to forcefully collect food from their mothers. Imagine a woman coming out of a shopping mall and a man pointing gun at her child and asking for her groceries is she doesn't want her child dead!
Again, they sometimes k!ll for fun like psychos. Not because they're hungry or anything o, just because they fell like it. More to come.
Tainkyu ✌🏾
