        To tell us how to cook it? Roast it? Fry it? Too many monkeys loitering around in Kenya. Nigerians are invited.

        Monkeys have been proven to have disastrous health complications by past studies yet some people from Nigeria & DRC continue to eat them? 😒

        The comments under this tweet brings us to the question: is there a line? If there is, where do we draw the line?
