FUTA WILDLIFE PARK, A WONDERFUL PLACE TO VISIT TO EXPERIENCE THE BEAUTY OF NATURE

NEW THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT FUTA WILDLIFE PARK

FUTA Wildlife Park named after Professor Timothy Afolayan, where there are different wild animals kept in captivity with some other species left to roam around in free range.

The wildlife park has in possession;

Fauna and Flora, a picnic site, children play ground and a museum housing ancient Artifacts and amazing items with a 12.3 feet long Rock Python.

Avian of different species with the largest land bird (Ostrich),

Primates of different species e.g. cercocebus, cercopithecus among others,  

Reptiles of different species with king Cobra, Crocodiles, etc.

Ungulates such as Red flank Duiker, Donkeys, etc.

Different flora, all kept in a natural attracting setting.

NEVER TREAT THEM WRONG, WOMEN DESERVE BETTER CARE AND TREATMENT.

NEVER TREAT THEM WRONG, WOMEN DESERVE BETTER CARE AND TREATMENT.

I ones witness a child delivery in a hospital, where I made up my mind never to assault or maltreat woman in any side of life. Women go through a lot to make things happen as opposed to what the JAGABAN said, (SHE'S MEANT FOR THE KITCHEN, THE LIVING ROOM AND THE OTHER ROOM)

Gender equality is nothing but a phrase, letting both sexes understands reasons to behave in Gods approved way is the best. I wish we can forget equality and teach ourselves things of God.

Of no doubt will I say, the guy that assaulted BOLUWATIFE IN FUTA SOUTHGATE AREA has displayed what is happening right in his background. Where on earth has he gathered the courage to do that if not being practiced in his immediate environment? Same as those ladies, who turned her, a lady of their kind into a punching practicing bag/WWE. Honestly, the video got me crying.

I give kudos to the management of FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, AKURE, for the quick action and justice made with immediate effect.

 With this occurrence I will advise ladies;

Love is not defined as endurance to maltreatment or brutality.

Love is not measured but the number of beatings you can endure.

Never misinterpret love for suffering. God has defined and demonstrated it to all man through Jesus Christ.

Any form of beating, slapping, abusive words, destruction of properties, and any other form of abnormalities are not ideal.

If you eventually get married to that guy that shouts on you, embarrass you, it means short life time is assured.

Do not be fools to think He will change; changing such attitude does not come in centuries, and when assaulted, please raise alarm, let the world intervene, not every man you see are real, some are animals in man image.

And to ladies, never be the first to raise your hand against a man, it might not favour you face.

I so submit.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE MANAGEMENT OF FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY AKURE.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE MANAGEMENT OF FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY AKURE.

With heart full of sorrow and face full of heavy tears I write to every concerned office.

The indiscriminate killing of our free ranged wild animals on campus these days has grown to a point that needs immediate attention.

Studying Ecotourism and Wildlife in FUTA has no meaning if the students of the department cannot begin the practice of what they are learning theoretically in classes on campus aside travelling to protected areas around the country.

Recent research has given information that states thus; “Over 80% of the Wildlife species has gone into extinction”. All these happened due to the existence and actions of human on them.

The species of animals we have in captivity inside Professor. T. A. Afolayan Wildlife Sanctuary, are just what we have been seeing there for decades compared to the species of animals found in the Zoological garden of University of Ibadan.

The free range animals we have in FUTA had to strive more for survival after the construction of a road which opened the park and Botanical garden, also farm land cultivation along the road where these animals could live, which has subjected them to indiscriminate killing by students and poachers.

On 18^th of October, a Colubridae snake was killed along academic road for no reason.

On 4^th of November, 2019, a giant, gorgeous, beautiful and grown up python was murdered in cold blood right on this campus. This news left a scar of sorrow on my heart because, the appearance of the snake alone can command a lot of revenue if conserved in the park. 

A lot of visitors which I have been able to Tour Guide in the Pro. T. A. Afolayan Wildlife Sanctuary always ask for snakes because it is a creature that amaze human and I was ones asked by a tourist that, “what do you now have, when there are no snakes??”

We the student of wildlife are ready to take action if the management can strengthen us by either passing a memorandum or including it in our student hand book as a rules and regulations that, NO WILD ANIMAL MUST BE KILLED BY ANYBODY ON THIS CAMPUS, BE IT STUDENT OR STAFF, INSTEAD, WILDLIFE CONSERVATION SECTOR SHOULD BE CONTACTED TO CARE FOR THE SITUATION.

A penalty should be attached to this so as to make it effective.

This letter is not composed with Aluta mind set, but with student complaint mind set.

I wish the school management can have a day to visit University of Ibadan to see their conservation status and how sophisticated the zoological garden is, which can easily interprets to students on the campus that, instead of killing any free range animals seen, there is an appropriate quarters to call to.

If well equipped, the Wildlife Park in FUTA can be a major source of income for the University IGR just as UI Zoo commands high price and visitation.

LET THE KILLING OF WILDLIFES BE STOPPED

WE DESTROYED THEIR HABITAT

THEY DESERVE TO LIVE.

I SO SUBMIT.

THE FUTURE WILDLIFE CONSERVERS CRIES OUT. 

DO YOU KNOW HUMANITY CAN FACE EXTINCTION SOON?

DO YOU KNOW HUMANITY CAN FACE EXTINCTION SOON?

Do you know the natural ecosystem has a way of balancing itself before human intrusion?

Micro-organisms give nutrients to plants,

The plants serve as food for the herbivorous animals,

The Herbivores are being eaten by the carnivores,

The carnivores have classes in which some can get rid of other species

Some of the apex carnivore has weak uterus which affects their effectiveness in reproduction and cub’s survival.

When the apex carnivore dies, it decomposes and returns as nutrient into the soil.

They put check on one another and the ecosystem remains balance.

Do you know?

The existence of man uttered it all by;

Deforestation

Habitat degradation

Over exploitation

Greediness

No future instinct.

Over 80% of the diverse species has been exploited to extinction.

NOTE:       HUMANITY CAN EXPERIENCE EXTINCTION WHEN THE LAST TREE FALLS.

HOW TERRIBLE AND BORING WILL THIS PLANET BE IF ALL ANIMAL SPECIES GOES INTO EXTINCTION?

BE WATCHFUL

CLIMATE CHANGE, A GLOBAL DUTY

CLIMATE CHANGE

What is climate change?

Climate change is a long-term continuous change (increase or decrease) to average weather conditions (e.g. average temperature) OR the range of weather (e.g. more frequent and severe extreme storms). Both can also happen simultaneously. Long-term means at least many decades.

 Climate change is slow and gradual, and unlike year-to-year variability, is very difficult to perceive without scientific records.

Climate change occurs because of changes to Earth’s environment, like changes in its orbit around the sun or human modification of the atmosphere. The current concern stems from the rate of change – how quickly changes are happening. Scientists have found that the current rate of temperature increase is higher than any previously seen in the last 800,000 years. Evidence strongly indicates that human-driven changes in the atmosphere are contributing to the unprecedented rate of temperature increase. (www.miseagrant.umich.edu/climate)

A POWERFUL SUSTENANCE FOR OUR WILDLIFE {FAUNA & FLORA}

A POWERFUL SUSTENANCE FOR OUR WILDLIFE {FAUNA & FLORA}

It has come to my reasoning that Nigeria has little or no interest in the establishment of wildlife sustenance, which has greatly contributed to the extinction of most wonderful creatures that has been a blessing to the nation. 

The issue of black gold has eating deep into our bones that we nearly forget to check for any other means of running the economy of the country. Unlike some other countries like Kenya, South Africa, Bostwana, Nambia, Tanzania, to mention but few that are judiciously financing their nation with the help of wildlife and conservation.

The consequence of our ignorance has deteriorated our biodiversity to the extent of a call for alarm to Save Our Soul. 
Great and amazing creatures have been listed as Extinct because of unconscious and indiscriminate harvesting without the knowledge of conservation and reborn. 

I, Bamikole Ayomide Opeyemi, a year 3 student of Ecotourism and wildlife management, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Appeal to every sectors that are to be at work on this, as well as individuals to please save our wildlifes, Our Natural environment and let us make a judicious and sustainable use of these natural heritages. 

God bless Nigeria.
God bless FUTA.
God bless conservators.
