1)Tell us a little about this photo?
I had gone to the Lekki Conservation Centre and was just ready to leave when i saw the turtle. He was happy to ‘pose’ while i chatted and asked him a million questions. And of course, took a few pictures. In my culture, the tortoise is the subject of several stories, mainly to teach us lessons but in all of them, the tortoise is intelligent. I therefore had to checm how many of these stories were true. One of my favourite is why the tortoise has a cracked shell (he had tried to fly without wings) and how he became bald (he hid hot bean cake that he had stolen under a cap on his head). There was also the story of how he was crafty and changed his name to "all of you" so as to eat all the food at a party given by the host to "all of you" (meaning the guests).
2)A catchy title for this photo?
