I know mine might be a minority opinion,but this is a rich diversity that has just been killed.
If this snake had been caught alive or even tracked and studied,it would have fetched 100x the amount it was sold for.
In other places, rare sizes of snakes like this would be a subject of wide interest and studies by snake experts who would even come from far and wide,earning us much needed foreign exchange.
But here,it has ended in somebody's pot of soup and a mere N10k when it cud have fetched good dollars.

You wouldn't have said that if this snake had killed any of your loved ones. Any animal that can EASILY kill a human should be destroyed IMMEDIATELY. At least abroad they have antivenom and immediate evacuation. In Naija, you are on your own o.

hedonistic:
You don't sound particularly intelligent. "I have never seen stealing from every corner like this"? Which stealing did you see other than stupid, unsubstantiated allegations in the media? Is that not what rational people have been cautioning against? On the basis of these unfounded allegations, you have already made up your mind even before a court trial, let alone a conviction. That is the hallmark of an unthinking being - a trait associated with lesser animals like baboons and monkeys who lack the thinking faculties associated with humans.

keep hailing thieves while waiting for them to plead guilty. How many criminals ever plead guilty in court ?In the history of Nigeria,I have never heard of ANY politician that says he is guilty of looting. They always go the ethnic or political party victim route. Keep defending the conquerors of your Children's future while their Children are bagging first class in best universities all around the world. I don't have any affinity towards any thief be it my own father.

ORACLE1975:
I must say I like the bold move of the Jonathan Ministers because from my humble but candid observation, I think the APC has no
agenda and they represents a crop of old and failed politicians who are bereft
of leadership ideas and experiences. Each time I read news from Nigeria, I am
appalled by the arrogant insinuations of the APC and its bad mouthing the
Jonathan administration, even though it is no longer in power. This APC
strategy is one clear characteristic of poor and inexperienced leadership.
While I am not a politician and would never want to be, I would very much love
to contribute my quota to develop Nigeria when I come home. I want APC to learn
from great leaders like the pragmatic and resilient Barack Obama. When Obama
came to power in 2008, the US economy was so bad that it was in deep recession.
The magnitude of such economic disaster impacted the whole global economy that
it plunged into a level as bad as the great depression. Obama did not rule by
making Bush a reference point at every instances or wasting his time conducting
any probe of the Bush administration. Instead, he tackled the problems he met
head long. It is to Obama's credit that the world was steered out of recession
and the global economy became flamboyant once again. Unemployment rate in the
US is now 5.2% down from 9.1% when Obama took power. Even at this present time
when global oil prices have fallen, and big economies like Russia and China are
seeing their surpluses turn to deficit, the US can boast of having one of the
strong economy in the world. The lesson is simple: good leaders do not look for
scapegoats for their own failures. They do not continue pointing accusing
fingers each time reality stare them on the face. They instead put plugs to contain
the problems and stop them from getting worse. The present Nigerian leadership
seems not to know the problem facing the nation. They dont seem to have ideas. The
only ideas they seem to have is how to demonize PDP and cast aspersions on the
people who served the country in the last administration. Noise making, we all
know, cannot solve problems. Noises about stolen funds and waiting until the
funds are recovered before one can start ruling is cheap blackmail. When Buhari
came to power years back, among the problems he said he is fighting was
nepotism. But nepotism of sort is what Nigeria is seeing from his current appointments.
The President should roll out his agenda and his plans to make Nigeria great
even with the limited resources he met on ground. His ability to start working
and not talking about money that has already been spent, will engrave his name
in the annals of history. We Nigerians both home and in diaspora are ready to
work with him. Throwing muds and casting aspersions all the time is getting too
boring and stale, and is a sign of rascality, ineptitude, and an area boy
approach to politicking. It is only in Nigeria and Africa that such leadership
trait is lauded as an achievement. Dear President Buhari, history beckons on
you. Do not let people who have malice and hatred in their heart or axes to
grind drag you into their tirade. If you should be angry over anything, your
anger should be directed at audit Departments in all the Ministries and
parastatals where lootings took place. They earn fat salaries for doing no job,
and they drive shinny cars and live in luxurious homes, and now want you to abandon
your enormous job of governance and do their jobs of checking ledgers.
BUHARI PLEASE SETTLE DOWN.

So are you saying that the issue of OUR billions being stolen should be forgotten? what message is it sending to the intending looters?? If Buhari concentrate on recovering this loot,a lot would be added to our National purse this year. INPUNITY MUST BE STOPPED FROM OUR COLLECTIVE PSYCHE. see as this fool is making light of corruption, a major contributor to our bleeding coffer. Like I asked many times,why are Nigerians all of a sudden sympathetic towards all these thieves? ?Why are we ALL OF A SUDDEN becoming immune to corruption??it's this an ethnic issueMy own FATHER must be probed if he is suspected of stealing.....end of story! !

See as dem dey collab! No wonder these ministers issued a warning to PMB about his probings. Obviously somebody is getting jittery. I have never seen stealing from every corner like this. Sadly ,most of the people here defending these looters are the same jobless, miserable ones whose futures have been stolen by these thieves. Their children can never be in the same room with the Children of these looters. You can go to all the upscale nightclubs in VI and see what I am talking about.

lurther:
Is it that this guy's did not see this coming?

You mean party leaders will sit with Buhari that I know and tell him to appoint people?

Kai! Even Oby-Ezekwesili will confess that Bringbackourgirls campaign was a scam by the north, when she realises after Buhari releases his final list and her name is not there.

As for Jagaban, he has lost everywhere since Buhari became president. He only won in this power equation when he nominated Osibanjo and that was because Buhari wasn't president then. Since Buhari became president, his only success in national level politically, is pleading for Gbajiabimila to be the leader of House of Rep. He even pleaded with Dogara after several refusals.

Errrmmmmm! Amaechi is back to port-harcort. Hahahahaha! Fashola is struggling to clear his name.

Life Oh Life....

The last men standing. .....Biafrans at it again??Still licking their wounds since elections THREE MONTHS AGO?

breakeven:
Is there any federal university whose hostel is descent? I guess its a Nigerian thing

Have we heard of Student - led maintenance? ??when you have at least 8 students in a room including squarters but this massive number of students can't mobilize themselves to clean up that mess?I can't even spend an hour in that mess unless I clean it myself. And these are the future of Nigeria.

Nigerians are just too irresponsibly dirty! Yes the University is a culprit in this issue but are you telling me that those EDUCATED students cannot AT LEAST clean up their environment? see how they are comfortably living in absolute murk. Waiting for the day the University will come to renovate and clean the place. This is exactly a microcosm of what happens in Nigeria at large.

An ex soldier becoming head of custom Can an ex custom officer become chief of Army staff??Makes no sense to me but I guess he wants someone he can trust. I don't blame him,thieves are everywhere in Nigeria. A different way of thinking is so necessary. .....no more business as usual.

Whats is the Igbo meaning of Anambra

We never Biafra during GEJ 6 years term , you know why?because the Biafrans were close to the coridor of power why they were getting their way. But ALL OF A SUDDEN, GEJ lost and now comes "we want Biafra" .Freaking dogs with rabies!

Biafrans are Nigeria's BIGGEST enemies. They are just silently wishing that Buhari fails EVEN after everyone and even the militants have moved on. Their innated bitterness is what will make them the last group standing. So much for Self-marginalisation.

Though I might be slightly minced by his appointments so far but there is no regret voting for Buhari. Nigeria needed a change from the business as usual syndrome. . And Jonathan MOSTLY DEFINITELY had to go before he runs us aground. I am happy with the new Nigeria, it's not business as usual anymore.

While EVERY ONE(all other tribes) is talking in unison about the Northernisation of Buhari's appointments, the Ndigbos AGAIN have become the first to talk about the "I" factor. The just cannot be team players, it's a naturally innated characteristic.

Bursted

i could just guess where the criminals are from. Abeg the govt should just free these Biafrans jor so that they will need to apply for Nigerian green card to enter the ZOO.

IGBO MAN AGAIN I THINK BUARI NEED TO LET IGBO PEOPLE GO BEFORE THEY WILL SPOIL US ALL

They will soon become endangered species with the rate of execution of young Igbo boys.

KWENU! !!!! 3 at the same time Busynessmen!!

eddyline:
What would be his excuse now? am sure this is not as a result of poverty. cos as a crew member, he should be earning a reasonable amount. anyway, he should thank his stars he was not caught in Indonesia if not, He'd understand what it means to number his days

his excuse will be that he has been MARGINALIZED!

psucc:
Buhari had almost concluded the mission.
All the key security outfits are manned by northerners and some key agencies with stooges from the south deputizing.

When will our Federal Commissioner, the Vice President, get a single nomination?

i ask you just one Question, will the appointment of an igbo /ss/yoruba efcc Boss help the region?will it Exonerate the suspect from his region?? Absolutely NO.All we need is a no-nonsense efcc Boss!

This is perhaps the most accurate press release of the year. And it is coming STRAIGHT from the EAST

Whenever you roll an empty drum down the road,it makes a lot of empty noises which in turn will attract angry onlookers because Of all the nuisances the drum has created in the neighborhood. This my friend, is the reason Igbo matter SEEM important. They create enmity everywhere with their display of madness.

EgusiSoup:
With the recent happenings in the New political dispensation one can only reflect and be sober for how my fellow Yoruba brothers betrayed the South to vote for another ex-General when we all thought we had passed that era.

Nigeria is at a standstill today, EFCC is just fighting corruption selectively on the pages of newspapers, Ministers have not been appointed to fast track laudable projects initiated by the past administration, all we see is Pictures, Pictures and more Pictures of the current President with Cows, and so on.

Indeed the Yoruba race have already realized their mistake and can't wait to correct it come 2019.

Please GEJ if you are reading this, have a re-think about 2019 and save us from the slow but steady conspiracy by the North to once again have Nigeria in her laps.

We are already tired!

#Wasted100days.

The batttle life will be draw between me and any APC e-diot that quotes me and spill trash.

I rest my case.

Igbos!!!......still bitter losers while everyone else has reconciled and moved on.

Am sure almost ALL the tribes in Nigeria resent Igbos including their southern neighbors. This is a product of being nuisances all over the place. Making noise all over the place will make you look like a barking dog. How can you be interested in irrelevant dogs? ? Even the efiks are most relevant than Igbos in Today's Nigeria.

I thought they all said that Nigeria will burn if Jonathan loses. Who wants to die?

EVEN the Ijaw militants are now cooperating for a new Nigeria, moving forward. The other day,it was the PDP in BAYELSA that defected to APC. Na ONLY the Igbos that are crying more than the bereaved with Bitterness. They are a the only one left standing by themselves now. Talking about marginalisation by your own self. Sad!

I applaud this group for their civility in commending Ambode. They even asked for their northern states to reciprocate by appointing Yorubas and IGBOS. if it was a Biafran that was appointed, you will be shocked to hear his people wailing that 1 appointment is just not enough and they will start making threats to Ambode. I will ask Ambode to appoint another Northerner instead of an Easterner because those niggas ain't relevant anymore.

zendy:
Who cares about the Nigerian presidency? We Igbos have outgrown the office of president. Anyone agitating for Igbo presidency is only asking the Igbos to go backwards. What we are after now is Biafra. To stay in Nigeria and keep joining issues with Yorubas and Hausas is a waste of time.

OUTGROW??And you Igbos have been the shameless one disturbing and begging Buhari for appointments? ? Shameless fools!!

olatade:
Well that is all nicely put and indeed a powerful statement of intent. The problem here is the police service commission hasn't come out with a clear template on who and who amongst the numerous Nigerian VIP's would be entitled to have police security or escort. So the question of a team that will enforce compliance with Mr President's directives would be premature and a waste of time and amounts to the usual eye service. Lets us Nigerians know clearly who are entitled and who aren't chances are we as citizens might do a better job of whistle blowing on who are still using police escorts!!

Vips should only be government officials and not Burna boy, foreign contractors, even Dangote is a bloody civilian not entitled to policemen. I know some wretched fool here will fight against the idea that Dangote as a civilian is not entitled to any police while his/her neighborhood is still without police presence. Nigeria needs sanitization both physically and psychologically. We are so used to lawlessness that we think every bad vice is ok

Reminds me of that US convicted criminal called dilly umenyioara who grinds lekki phase 1 to a halt by using his police escort to follow him while jogging.is he a govt official?who is wizkid to be using soldiers to guard himNo sane country ever uses their police official to guard non-government individuals unles6s they use OFF DUTY officers.

Tkester:
My man I did my NYSC in Osogbo and I will tell you that I will gladly take dog shit than to have Osogbo as my state. Jeez even while teaching in Olurunda grammar school, I cannot count the number of goats that parade the school compound everyday. Sometime I begin to wonder if Osogbo is real habitable, one can hardly walk twenty meters without encountering a heap of goats shit.

God forbid, yaribASS are DIRTY!

but sadly,I can tell you for a FACT that there are more ibos in Oshogbo than Yorubas in the ENTIRE Ebonyi. You Spanner - heads are just Damn everywhere mhennnn. .....DAMN!!
