Crocodile Meat in Swali Market, Yenagoa
In the bustling Swali Market of Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, a sight both intriguing and unsettling has recently captured the attention of locals and visitors alike. A huge crocodile, its formidable form stretched out on a makeshift butcher’s table, awaits its fate as it is about to be prepared for consumption. This unusual spectacle raises questions about local customs, culinary practices, and the ethics of consuming exotic meats.
As reported by NigerDeltaInsider, the presence of crocodile meat in Swali Market serves as a reminder of the diverse array of foods available in the region. For many, the idea of consuming crocodile may evoke a sense of curiosity or even disbelief. Yet, in certain parts of Nigeria, particularly in the Niger Delta region, crocodile meat is considered a delicacy and is valued for its purported medicinal properties.
The consumption of crocodile meat is not without controversy, however. Crocodiles are apex predators and play a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance of their habitats. Hunting and harvesting crocodiles for their meat can potentially impact local ecosystems and threaten the survival of these ancient reptiles. Additionally, there are concerns about animal welfare and the ethical considerations of slaughtering wild animals for human consumption.
For some individuals, the prospect of tasting crocodile meat may be a novel and adventurous culinary experience. Those who have sampled it describe the flavor as rich and gamey, with a texture reminiscent of chicken or fish. However, others may hesitate to partake in the consumption of exotic meats out of respect for conservation efforts or personal ethical beliefs.
It’s important to approach the issue of consuming exotic meats with sensitivity and awareness of the broader implications. While cultural traditions and dietary preferences vary, it’s essential to consider the ecological impact and ethical considerations associated with the harvesting of wild animals for food.
As visitors to Swali Market witness the scene of a crocodile being prepared for consumption, they are prompted to reflect on the complexities of human-animal relationships, the diversity of culinary traditions, and the interconnectedness of ecosystems. Whether one chooses to indulge in the culinary curiosity of crocodile meat or abstain in solidarity with conservation efforts, the sight of this ancient reptile on a butcher’s table serves as a poignant reminder of the intricate balance between humans and the natural world.

I’ve made up my mind to expoe this old cargo today, Her full name is Kenza Emeline Jein. She’s a married businesswoman who deals in ladies’ fashion
She’s so un-gråté-ful. I’ve had an affair for about 4 years gone with this w0-man. She claimed her husband wasn’t satisfying her in bed, I was always at her service whenever she needed me. In turn, she rented an apartment for me, opened up a shoe business for me, also gave me pocket allowances per month.
Our relationship had been moving well until she got pregnant with the second child & gave birth to a baby girl about 6 months ago. Afterwards, she automatically changed & suddenly stopped seeing me & picking my calls, even went to the extent of blocking me. I only get to reach her when I use a different line. Immediately she realizes it’s me, she’ll cut the call after telling me she’s no longer interested in the relationship, then block the new line too.
I was shocked by this new development. I’ve lost the girl I loved so much & who loved me so much too, all because of this woman. Now she thinks she can just use & dump me like that after giving her two beautiful kids, like I’m some kind of rag. See, I’m not a kid, Mrs. Jein. If you think you can play me like a child, then you should think twice.
Even my business is going down, my house rent has expired, my landlord isn’t giving me any breathing space. I’ve asked this woman for just 2.5million as compensation so i can move on & fix my l!fe that she destroyed but she has given a deaf ear.
Mrs Jein, I’ve given you 2 beautiful girls & I cannot be here suffering while I’ve been wasting my time & energy servicing & giving an old cargo fresh blood with absolutely nothing of benefit nor gain. You very well know our affair cost me my sweet relationship. All bcoz of you i lost the woman that truly loves me. However, I do not need the kids either; you can keep them. I’m 24yrs old still young with fresh blood; I can always make other babies.
I only insist that you compensate me with 2.5 million for my time & energy wasted on you. If not. You leave me with no choice than get back at you by uploading your n””-ü,”ds on social media & also come for my babies & you’ll lose everything, which I’m very sure you wouldn’t want that. This is a promise Mrs Jein. You can’t use me & dump me like a rag; I’m not a kid madam! I’m giving just a week to see that money in my account so i can fix my life i do not want any trouble”

In 2003, Chief Chuba Okadigbo was allegedly gassed with poisonous tear gas in Kano State, Nigeria
Okadigbo also known as the Oyi of Oyi was Vice presidential aspirant of the All Nigeria People’s Party (ANPP) with Mohammad Buhari, as leader of the ticket.
Unlike other Igbo politicians who aligned themselves with their Igbo kinsmen, Okadigbo aligned himself with the North and had more respect for the Northern region and its people.
Okadigbo attended the rally which was held in Kano State Nigeria.
Apart from the Governor of Kano State, no other ANPP Governor was in attendance which was unusual.
Aware of Okadigbo’s respiratory health challenge (asthma), the then federal government under the reign of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo did not want the rally to proceed.
Security personnel mounted the gate to prevent entry, but this did not sit well with the Kano State Governor; Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, so he ordered the youths to bring down the gate allowing opposition figures to enter.
Police in order to instill calmness released tear gas which they allegedly poured on ANPP leaders in the rally.
According to Hajiya Naja’tu Mohammad report to Voice Of America (VOA), Okadigbo’s body was allegedly soaked with the offensive smelling liquid.
He lost control of his breathe after inhaling the substance and the other party men administered first aid on him in a bid to revive him.
He eventually gave up the ghost in his Asokoro home, Abuja a day or two after the tear gas event.
Many still believed that there is more to his dæth.
