For it is written, it is not good for a man(chimp) to be alone,
The chimp probably died from HYPOACTIVE SEXUAL DESIRE DISORDER (HSDD)
72 virgin apes await him in monkeys paradise

The only surviving Chimpanzee, 50 years old, in the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) Zoo has died, Prof Chris Okoye, Head of Department, Zoology and Environmental Studies, has announced.

Okoye told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Nsukka on Wednesday, that the male Chimpanzee which died fortnight ago had been embalmed.

According to him, staff and students of the department feel bad that the only surviving chimpanzee in the zoo has died, though as a result of old age.

“As the tradition of the department, the chimpanzee has been embalmed and deposited in the department’s Museum for practical and for people on excursion to the museum to see.

“We do not eat or bury animals in our zoo when they die, rather we embalm and keep them in the museum,” he said.

The HOD said that the female chimpanzee, usually referred as the wife of this chimpanzee, died five years ago and since then the male chimpanzee had been lonely.

“Efforts to replace the female chimpanzee as well as some other animals that died in the zoo hit ‘brick-wall’ due to lack of fund,” he said.

On why zoos were gradually becoming extinct in the country, the HOD attributed it to low yielding revenue from zoos and very capital intensive to run and maintain.

“It costs huge amount of money to buy animals like chimpanzees, lions, and elephants as well as to feed them.

“The N50 or N100 collected at the gate from visitors as ticket is not even enough to feed these animals not to talk of maintaining them or getting a replacement when any of them dies.

“That may be the reason many people do not venture into zoo business because they know there is no profit in it; it is just for fun and sight-seeing.

He however said, zoo was very important as it provided protection for endangered species of animals as well as served as a place for people to get connected to nature.

“Zoos play important roles in wildlife conservation, research and education.

“Both federal and state governments should do something urgently to improve funding of zoos in the country else, in the next 10 years, zoos may completely go into extinction,” he said.

Almost as old as Our darling country.

#RESPECT to this Chimpanzee.

Say hello to Ceaser and King Kong over there.

You will be missed. wink


This is a very noble way to honour and preserve him.
Very Good initiative.


We are only a bit disappointed that they couldn't give him a name for the 50 long years he spent on earth.
In Obodo Oyinbo, by now, they will be addressing him by his name and not '50 year Old Chimpanzee', just like the Ceaser we mentioned above!

Not too late to give him one tho,
Let's look for a befitting name now, thinking...........

Sane Nigerians can also help out,
Emphasis on the word 'SANE NIGERIANS'!!! cheesy


A very good and sane Nigerian has spoken.
Thanks Slimjosh231.
CALIPHAS is it then.

You mean the chimps didn't do anything in the aza room? How comes they don't have even one offspring? In other words, the chimp died without leaving its manhood

This is why the black man seems perpetually backward. While the white man is interested in exploring his environment and conquering it, all the black man cares about is his stomach. Eat, fvck and procreate like fvcking animals.

Nigerians won't visit zoo because Nigeria is already a jungle. What are we going there to see when we deal with animals everyday

If u know what ure doing people will support u. How hard is it to put the zoo in a reasonable state and create attractions around it so people can find it worth paying smtn for? If u can’t maintain it why not just shut it down and sell the animals out.

That's your country for you o grin

Why didn’t they get a female to procreate or look for another skol with a female and do a breeding program. Also why collect just 50/100 Naira for entering a zoo?

My brother don't mind those unserious set of people.
UNN is my alma mata, and that chimpanzee is the only interesting animal there, aside it are squirrels and small small snakes... Who doesn't see squirrel and normal snakes in Nigeria almost everywhere??
When you're around Abuja building, the only animal noise you hear is that of this late chimpanzee who died as a result of no mate.

The rest on the story is bush and trees everywhere.
UNN is a bug scam, let my fellow lions/lionesses come here and quote me in opposition, then you will tell me what is in that zoo...sorry bush.

sorry for your loss... It’s possible but with the help of a bitcoin specialist. I read about a yankee women who hers was recovered. and part of the process was tracing the owner of the bitcoin wallet. You can message him if in need of his assistance to track the wallet your bitcoin was sent to after it was stolen message Wesley Page on quora (search for his name). He’s very reliable. Best of luck.

in Nigeria, even if you lose money to someone u have his account number and the police will first try to fleece you of all the money on you before they look into the case sad

He wont be able to recover it. He should just move on. From what I saw, he lost around 1.7million naira. That's too bad. He should change his blockchain password and use a more secure password. Also, your brother still has around 11millon naira remaining in the wallet. I would suggest he splits the remaining money into different wallets, or on another block.
