Of course! With all the negativity going on in Nigeria, you need all the humor to survive. We're used to bad situations and try to make jokes about them to make it feel less damaging..ridiculously funny situations

'Suffering and smiling'..fela

Survival tactics it is

Should this be under crime or religion?

LAKE CITY, Fla -- A group of women having a party stopped a gunman during a robbery by shouting “Jesus” over and over Friday evening, police in a Florida town say.

The incident happened in Lake City on Friday when Jacquie Hagler was having a party at her home with 14 friends. The group was having a jewelry party when a man broke into her home around 7:45 pm, the First Coast News reported.

The women first believed the gunman had a fake gun – a water pistol.

They also thought the man was part of the game they were playing at the time – as the woman leading the jewelry party told them before the break-in to put their purses in their laps, the newspaper reported.

The gunman, Derick Jeremy Lee, age 25, burst into the room and yelled to the group: “Give me your money and your phones!” while he threw a bag down on a table, the First Coast News reported.

The women didn’t do as he said and Hagler told him to “get that water pistol out of my face,” the newspaper reported.

The man said it was a real gun and Hagler told the newspaper she saw her friends become very scared.

Hagler then jumped up and yelled: “Get out of my house in the name of Jesus!” the newspaper reported.

Other women all began yelling “Jesus”, Hagler told the newspaper.

After a few seconds, the man ran out of the house without any loot – and without any of the women being injured, the First Coast News reported.

"How everybody reacted and all you knew God's hand and he was in there, it could have went so differently," Donna Bowen, a woman at the party, told the newspaper.

Lee was captured by police later, when another robbery around 9 pm was foiled by a 62-year-old woman who also yelled at him, the newspaper said.

In that case, the woman was at an ATM and yelled at Lee until he ran off into some woods.

Lee was found at his father’s home, which is only 2 blocks from the home invasion, the First Coast News reported.

He is being held on a $200,000 bond.

Ok thanks a bunch odumchi

[quote author=tpia@]Btw, there are other jobs your friend can get, God willing.[/quote]Of course he'll eventually, but that was just to drive home my point about people missing opportunities due to lack of self disclosure, at least to some extent, not like giving me every details about your life story

[quote author=*Ileke-IdI]

Because Nigerians are not out to help each other. Better to keep mum than to have your story told all over town. [/quote]In this case, i could easily have helped him so i'm sure there are cases like that where people could have easily been helped if they knew what was going on.

I agree it could be based on experience sometimes but it still baffles me why people are willing to tell when they're down but not when something good is about to come their way


We only let out the obvious like having a baby, even then, people will hide that as much as possible..I only got to know i was gonna be an uncle a day after my nephew was born, not like i'm some kinda wizard

Please consider for fp odumchi

Thanks

'I got a chopper in tha car'..where's the AK47 in the car rozay?

I’m bringing this up because a friend of mine recently lost the opportunity of securing a job and I only got to know after the fact, meanwhile, I could have easily helped him considering that I’m a good friend to the recruiter.

This friend (the one who didn’t get the job) had previously asked me some questions earlier in the week that suggested he was up to something, he just never told me why he asked and I never bothered to ask. This is just one of many cases of how secretive a lot of Nigerians/Africans are. In this case, someone missed a chance of getting a good job and there are several cases like that.

I’m not sure if it’s a cultural attribute of Nigerians or Africans but my biggest guess to why this exists is the strong belief in the existence of witchcraft. This friend of mine seem to think that I’m a wizard with some spiritual power or something to stop him from getting the job, I wish

A lot of Nigerians have a problem with self-disclosure, they only tell after the fact, some don’t even tell at all. They call you a friend but you don’t know when they’re about to buy a new car, move to a new house, get a new job, travel abroad, pass a test or are graduated from school.
The only thing I know they’re quick to tell is when they’re getting married, not sure why but other than that, you only get to find out about most things only after the fact.

How can you call someone a friend when you never get to experience their success but they’re quick to tell about their failure?

Lol@ morgist pix

Nairaland Y u no have dislike button?

executinal: Both should be punished because both committed the malpractice.

Best approach to exam malpractice is to leave your paper open for your friend to see and help himself.

I hate talking and righting at same time.

Another joke right

willyo: they're all wrong. buh most especially the person who caught 'em should take the lion-share blame. why arraign someone who's helpless and needs help? won't we help a neighbour in need? is failure what we should accept? We should do everythin within our powers to cut dead this failure syndrome.

Tell me this is a joke please

Resign over wetin? Bunch of comedians, that's why no one takes the republicans serious these days.
So much uproar over nothing, it wasn't like she used someone else's voice, haters!

Republicans, a party of misplaced priorities
