How this Animals knew they are sacred in places like this baffles me...

Like I know in places like Ogidi and Nkpor, you see this creatures moving majestically, walking slowly like they own the place, But around Ifite, the kind speed they usually takes in split seconds ehh grin Because they know say na barbecue sure pass

What you see there is very ancient. Those snakes are the oldest continually existing member of the community, so they know everything going on around them.

The sacredness of the snake is the first universal type of belief that spread from out of inner Africa to the rest of the world when black people still ruled the world. Even before the ancient Egyptians but the Egyptians adopted it too, like the rest of the world.

The snakes since ancient times know the places that are kind to them, so they know exactly where to go and where to avoid. And they were not worshipped, rather they were merely revered.

By the way, that's where Jesus Christ evolved from over thousands of years. But that's the type of information you'll never hear in school, church or other so called learning centre.

The negative image associated with the snake today began when Europeans became a world power and blackmailed the snake (a symbol of black powder) using the Genesis story in the bible and made the whole world believe that Africa, the snake, the ancient Egyptians, and black is evil. And that's the true origin of the fall of black people.

Anybody who's interested in further information, part of this was explained in the article: what is Satan? What is Lucifer? The biggest secret in the world

Sorry, but they are not meant for children. They are meant for people who are awake or half awake and looking for additional input. Only such group can process what in your naivety is "atheistic" information.

Finally, I am not an atheist.

Hello bro, are you based in Lagos? because there are many tours/vacation agents in Lagos and they always have programs all round the year.
Every month, there is always a beach to go or resorts or daycation or stacation or outright vacation.
It is always fun - you meet a different set of nigerians. People of like minds where you network and socialize.
Nice beaches to go are Badagry Whispering palm beach, La Campaign tropicana (my favourite) and many more beautiful beaches they will show you.

They organize many hangouts, Foodies, Clubbing if you like too. Just name it at a pocket friendly price.

I paid for the all white party yatch cruise and family picnic but i am not going to make it to these events because i won't make it back before next weekend.

Life is fun and you need to enjoy it bro.
There are karaokes where you sing to your lover and many more.

Oga travel waka, no vex say i dey advertise other agencies for your thread oo but you dey fall our hand big time.
Asked you many times offline whe you are going to organize again but it seems you don't deal with locals anymore.

Somewhere quiet, nice and cheap? Check out the beach behind LASU

I've been there severally. Go to the private beach, not the public one. It's always very quiet, nice place to hang out and NEVER CROWDED... Like I've never been there and seen up to 50 people hanging out at the same time. Na coded paroles dey run there. Once in a while, LASU students come there for events sha

Downside: You'll have to take a boat ride to get there. So, if you're scared of boats, no go.

(Just get to Iyana-Iba, cross the express to the other side and take a bike to waterfront... Then board a boat to the beach;Private beach)

It is 20-23rd of this month.

I am not the one organizing it.

It is one of the tour agents I have.
That is the program in his calendar for the month.
I can’t change it but you can key into it.
There is ghana by month end and abidjan next month for 350k per person.
The Benin rep. Is 110k per person.
You meet people. Network and socialize etc.

I don't know the name o... Just get to Iyana-Iba, cross the express to the other side and ask for where to take bike to Waterside

At Waterside, you'll board a speedboat. Tell them you're going to the beach... They'll ask if it's private or public beach...

Private beach was about 2.5k... Just budget 3k for it... You'll love the serenity and neatness
