Smoked frogs are a delicacy for some, but not all, Nigerians:(http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/200/media/images/82472000/jpg/_82472273_1_editd.jpg) 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. (http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/200/media/images/82446000/jpg/_82446496_2_edited.jpg) The 25-year-old says the frogs are so easy to catch that he grabs them with his bare heads. At night he puts a bit of bait on rope and when the frogs jump he just reaches for them. (http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/200/media/images/82454000/jpg/_82454145_pic-3_1000_edited.jpg) 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. (http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/200/media/images/82446000/jpg/_82446494_7_edited.jpg) 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. (http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/200/media/images/82446000/jpg/_82446502_5b_edited3.jpg) Once the frogs have been out in the sun for six or six hours, Mr Paul smokes them. (http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/200/media/images/82444000/jpg/_82444413_3_editedjpg.jpg) The frogs are classified by size. He sells a skewer of 37 small frogs for $1.50 (£1). (http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/200/media/images/82445000/jpg/_82445843_5_edited.jpg) The stick with 34 medium frogs costs $2 and the stick with 24 large frogs is $4. (http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/200/media/images/82445000/jpg/_82445849_pic_6_edited.jpg) The frogs are cooked in a stew with spices, tomatoes, onions and chillies. Mr Paul tells his neighbours they taste better than fish but they remain unconvinced. By BBC's Christine Otieno.
