I live in quite a quiet neighbourhood, my house sits on a 2plot of land built beside a small stream. One side of the expanse land house our building while we planted grass on the other for recreation and other social purpose.

Now, despite mowing the lawn from time to time, we find it surprising how lizards have decided to make it an avenue for their rendezvous, you see hundreds of lizards running when someone aprroach the lawn. The funny thing is, you hardly see them when we are around, but the moment we return back home and the gate is opened, you see these reptiles flying around aiming for the exit.

So today, i retire home early, due to our FASTING which we just started at Redeemed church to pray for Nigeria, i wanted to save energy to pray and probably catch some program on Dove Tv, as i opened the small gate, i saw something un-usual move by the extreme side of the lawn. Ordinarily, i would have ignored while i drive in. Surprisingly, i found myself picking up a spade just by the security post, and started running after it, lo and behold it was an average MONITOR LIZARD. After dribbling me for sometime, i finally sent it to the land of the unknown.

I sent the photos to my wife, and told her i planned giving it to the security guy since i cannot eat it, she called in immediately telling me how someone told her how rich in protein it is and very expensive in the market due to the value. She concluded by saying she 'd like to taste it for the first time.

Since i couldnt touch it, i called in some guy to come do justice to it. Enjoy the images below!!

It was quite a deal

I had to distance myself due to the way it was splashing hot oil everywhere

One part already fried, it looked sumptous though, but God knows i aint eating this

Every monitoring lizard, monitoring your life shall be sent to the land of the unknown, and be eaten like this one, op say Amen.

Lest i forget, i once read a post here on nairaland about watermelon farming, i decided to experiment with just a few. It came out so well, but you know what Squirrels destroyed all the fruits. I'm battling with their battalion too, i guess its due to the fact that my house is just by the stream.

They always find their way in climbing the fence despite the barb-wire!!

I'm going to need some tips on how to stop this invasion, please help a brother....

God forbid we see snake in this compound, my wife will run away for good ;DShe detest snakes more than anything!!

Lalasticlala, help out!!

Eaten by you...... Amen

@op, you will always experience this sort of things because you house is very close to the stream. Believe me you may one day encounter big snake like phyton.
What you have to do is to go to were they sell Agro chemicals, explain to them, they will give you chemicals that drive snakes & reptile.

Chai this meat is quite disgusting. I do see some people eat this meat but i don't like it.

This is why I don't eat meat of any kind.


Why should someone living in a civilised society be comfortable eating this kind of thing?
