A man is seen in Benue part of Nigeria hawking frog for living. He claims that frogs are delicacies for the people of Benue. See photos below....
 |
| Philip Paul is a frog seller - and he and his wife and daughter love to eat them. The family hails from central Benue state but live in the north-east, where people are not so keen on them. |
 |
| The frogs are classified by size. He sells a skewer of 37 small frogs for $1.50 (£1) |
 |
| The stick with 34 medium frogs costs $2 and the stick with 24 large frogs is $4. |
 |
| Mr Paul dries out the frogs by the side of his house in full view for his neighbours. This has not persuaded them to have a taste |
 |
| The 25-year-old says the frogs are so easy to catch that he grabs them with his bare hands. At night he puts a bit of bait on rope and when the frogs jump he just reaches for them. |
 |
| Once the frogs have been out in the sun for six or seven hours, Mr Paul smokes them. |
 |
| He then skewers them on a stick. Since 2008 he has made a business out of catching frogs in Adamawa state and exporting them to Benue, where they love them |
