Toad sellers are recording high sales in Hadejia, Jigawa, due to the growing demand of the aquatic animals, according to reports.
Toad is an amphibian animal with a drier and less smooth skin that lives on land but breeds in water. It is a frog family with long back legs for jumping.
Toads are of different species and not all are eatable or good for human consumption, as some of it produced dangerous poison as most of us know.
Although it is not on the popular menu in the north, but it is in high demand in some communities in central and southern parts of the country.
A check at the Hadejia market showed that toad sellers were making brisk businesses due to a significant increase in the demand for the animals.
A big stick, which contains about 20 toads, was being sold for N1, 000 and a small size-stick with 10 toads attracts N450
Traders at the market described the trade as lucrative in view of the growing market.
Alhaji Haruna Shuaibu, a dealer, said that he was making good sales due to the rise in the demand of toads.
Shuaibu explained that the demand had surpassed the supply, adding that the animals were very rare in the dry season.
“Toad trade is good; it attracted many people due to its lucrative nature.
“Buyers are coming to the market from other states to buy.
“They preferred dried toads, but some buy fresh ones,” he said. According to him, traders at the market transport hundreds of sticks of toads to other parts of the country on weekly basis.
Zakari Hadi, a toad hunter, said that he was making between N2, 000 and N3, 000 from the sales of toads, adding that this enables him to meet his basic financial needs.
