SAP Enterprise Resource Planning Software:

SAP is the largest business application and enterprise resource used
by a wide range of businesses from small enterprises to billion dollar
corporations. With the increasing dependence of these organizations on
SAP systems and their heavy reliance on information produced by these
systems, there is the need to ensure that management remains in
control, ensure information is reliable and meets regulatory
requirements.
SAP has come to stay and is presently the most robust ERP in the
world. Most fortune 500 companies are presently using it. SAP
Consultants are among the highest paid consultants in the world today.
In Nigeria, the companies that have implemented and currently
implementing cut across diverse sectors of the economy….Oil & Gas,
Telecommunication, Banking, Manufacturing, Construction, Real Estate
and Government/Public sector.
There has been dearth of Human resources in SAP world currently in
Nigeria, this is due to the fact that SAP is relatively new in
Nigeria. The few resources that are in Nigeria are equally freelancing
in Europe, Asia and Americas. This is the right time for anyone that
is looking into the future and with self-reliance in mind to delve
into the SAP world and make hay while the sun shines.

Incrizz: Should you ever happen to be in the path of a lion while out on a walking safari in Africa (or any safari park) or due to the sheer bad luck of falling into the lion enclosure at your local zoo, then you'll need to know what to do. Like most information of this sort, it's better read now and tucked away for future reference, in the off chance you might actually need to draw on it when it matters most.

Steps

Tips and Warnings

See if the lion is not interested at all. In fact, most lions will choose to run when confronted by a human, especially if you show any signs of being scrawny, as they prefer to avoid confrontation with non-typical prey species. However, the desire to run away can't be said of all lions, especially those that feel cornered, are starving or feel that their territory or cubs are threatened.

1.Above all, do not run. Running around any animal that hunts for a living will incite its prey chasing mechanism faster than you can blink. It will be difficult but hold your ground and breathe steadily.

2. Tell yourself over and over, "I will not run, I will not bolt, for if I do, the lion will too."

Talk in a calm and firm voice to the lion. You can tell it anything you like really, provided it's calm and firm. After all, lions don't know a single human language, so it's all down to body and facial signals and a steady voice.


3. Try to make yourself appear larger than you really are. Lions are fairly lazy on the whole and if you look like a challenge, the chances are that the lion will treat you as such and be less inclined to attack. Things that might help increase your physical size appearance include:

4. Raising your hands above your head and keeping them there.

Pitching your jacket between your raised hands to look like a sail, and hopefully a bigger you.

Widening your stance gently and not so much as to overbalance.

Don't spend too long attempting this; it probably won't work that well.


Retreat very slowly backwards, continuing to face the lion. As you walk backwards, maintain eye contact. Never turn your back; this just makes it really easy for the lion to see a clear leaping space without eye contact to disarm him.

5. Clap, shout, and wave your arms. This isn't normal prey behavior, so this will confuse it, and give the lion the illusion that you are one noisy nuisance that needs to be avoided. Unfortunately, this conflicts with the next piece of advice, which is to avoid making sudden movements. So you'll need to clap and shout without being too effusive in the process.

6. Ready yourself for an attack. Most of the time a first and possibly even later charges are only a warning, but not always. Listen for a deep growling roar just prior to a charge. This means that you need to be prepared to do whatever you can to fight off the lion.

7. If a lion does charge you, then hold your ground, remain standing and do not bolt. Instead, clap your hands, wave your arms (no need to worry about sudden moves anymore, it's defend yourself time) and make noise like shouting.

If need be, fight back with whatever you have to hand, such as sticks, rocks, your backpack, your belt, your safari pack, your binoculars, whatever. Throw as hard as you can and aim for the face, the eyes and anywhere else likely to cause pain.

Lions will go for your throat; by staying standing and fighting back (punching, kicking, hitting with objects, etc.), you may survive––there are accounts of people having done so this way.

Only run if there is enough space between you, the lion and safety. Judging that is contextual.

Tips

Lions are powerful, beautiful animals. Take all necessary precautions to stay out of their way and let them live as nature intended. Especially as a tourist or visitor to Africa, don't do stupid things like walking alone or unaided in lion country, and going where you haven't a clue what's going on.

⁠Obey all the rules in safari parks. The rules are there to protect you; disobey them at your own risk.

We can actually kill a Lion just like Sampson did. Muster some courage and the power to fight back would be done on you. Fight your fears. Just imagine yourself jumping a very long fence because you were chased by a police. It's the same thing here: courage, boldness and the believe that you can actually fight the Lion. With these three, you'll come out victoriously.

OP forgot that lions move in packs..you will hardly meet a single lion alone..and nothing is as bold as a group of lions together.They fear nothing! This might work against lone hunters like the leopard or tiger but not against lions who move in groups..even a group of domesticated dogs can stand against a bear or a larger animal..the more the numbers,the more they are emboldened..So that scenerio is highly unlikely..

You are wrong sir. if you see a lion and run, it is 99% sure he ll kill you. cos he is faster than the fastest human.

like the op said...you should maintain your stand. since a human is taller than a lion, he ll struggle to get to your neck-the spot they always target. lions know the easiest way to kill is to 'go for the jugular' and block the windpipes.

if you dont run, the possibility is that they wont attack.

its important you kip these in mind.

altho i dont agree with the clapping thin.


i wuld even suggest that you run at the lion if you are sure if wants to attack. not fly run at it but run at it like you want to attack it. most lions would run when they see an animal bold enuf to attack it.
