VENO NEWS: Unbelievable! Lizard Catcher, Kehinde Speaks On His Daily Income , Says He is making #60k Daily .
Date: 07-10-25

By Bishop Dr Sanya Ojo

A Lizard Catcher has emphatically revealed that he is making #60k daily, at least picking 3 dozes a day..

However , a graduate goes home with #50k monthly in his place of work.. According to him, he learnt the rudiment of catching lizard for two years and sell a lizard for #1k for Chinese .

The “lizard catcher” isn’t just chasing random animals but something with meaning (and also perhaps stir curiosity, critical thinking, even ethical questions)..

Ecological & biological importance of lizards

— it shows that the trade, though odd, interacts with real ecological systems.

1. Pest control / natural insect regulation
Many lizards eat insects, larvae, spiders, slugs, snails, etc. In agricultural or rural settings, they help curb populations of pests that damage crops or carry disease.

So, in some ways, removing too many lizards could lead to pest imbalances.

The catcher’s business is riding on a living being that contributes to a larger ecosystem.

. Role in food chains (prey & predator relationships)
Lizards are both predators and prey. They are eaten by birds, snakes, mammals, and they themselves feed on smaller invertebrates.

Taking lizards out of the ecosystem in large numbers could affect species that rely on them as food.

It also shows that their existence is tied to multiple trophic levels — they are not just “small creatures” with zero significance.

. Bioindicators / environmental health
Because many lizards are sensitive to environmental changes (pollution, habitat degradation, chemical use), their presence or absence can indicate the health of an ecosystem.

If many lizards are disappearing in an area, that could signal environmental stress.

The catcher’s “harvest” might inadvertently be a symptom of environmental change (less habitat, more exposure).

. Contribution to seed dispersal and pollination (in some species)

Though less common, some lizard species help in spreading seeds and sometimes act as pollinators, especially in ecosystems where they consume nectar or fruits.

This shows that lizards’ roles go beyond “insect eaters.”

It helps you argue that they interlink with plant life too.

Support for scientific research / evolutionary biology

Lizards provide models for physiological, evolutionary, and ecological studies—thermal regulation, adaptation, behavior, etc.

This species could have been studied for … but instead is being sold” ..Up to the Chinese's buyers.

. Risks / conservation concerns
Some lizards, especially in parts of Asia, are hunted or traded (for example, geckos) for alleged medicinal uses. This trade sometimes pushes species toward decline.

This raises ethical and legal questions: Are there protected species locally?

Is the trade legal or sustainable

Cultural, symbolic & mythological importance of lizards

These enrich the narrative by tying emotional or moral weight, cultural resonance, and symbolic metaphors.

1. Regeneration, renewal, rebirth
Because many lizards can shed their skin (molting) and regenerate tails, they are often used symbolically in many traditions to represent renewal, transformation, survival, and adaptability.

The lizard’s regenerative ability to the resilience or adaptability of the catcher’s life, or as a metaphor for society.

Spiritual connections / ancestral symbolism
In some African and indigenous traditions, lizards may be associated with ancestral spirits or metaphors for the connection between the living and the spirit world.

If in the local Nigerian / Yoruba / Igbo / etc belief systems there is meaning attributed to lizards, that would be powerful.

In many indigenous contexts, animals like lizards appear in stories, proverbs, or myths, embodying moral lessons.

Healing, transformation, adaptation
Because of their regenerative capacities and life cycles, lizards are sometimes linked with healing, transformation, or spiritual journeys.

The lizard catcher is making ?60,000 a day, while a graduate gets ?50,000 a month.The ecological importance to show: “this is not trivial trade; he is operating in a domain that intersects with nature’s balance.”

Raise questions / provoke reflection: If many people start catching lizards, could it harm the ecosystem? Are there regulations? Are there endangered species involved?
