It arguably d green mamba. Cos that is d major green snake common in west africa.

It is not the green mamba.

Look closely at the scales and you will see that it has no intermediate black under skin that is characteristic of the west African green mamba.
Also the West African green mamba is not as lush green as the eastern one but has a yellow green ventral surface.

This particular snake is fairly common in grassed areas even in urban centres and they are empirically known to be harmless.
We need our own local ophiologist or herpetologist to help in identifying some species which may not have been previously identified.

Someone mentioned the green mamba. It seems to be the one.

From Wikipedia :
The western green mamba is a very alert, nervous, and extremely agile snake that lives mainly in the coastal tropical rainforest, thicket, and woodland regions of western Africa. Like all the other mambas, the western green mamba is a highly venomous elapid species. Its venom is a highly potent mixture of rapid-acting presynaptic and postsynaptic neurotoxins (dendrotoxins), cardiotoxins and fasciculins. Some consider this species to not be a particularly aggressive snake, but others have suggested that they are extremely nervous and are prone to attack aggressively when cornered. Conflict with humans is low compared to some other species found in the region. Bites to people by this species are quite uncommon. Their mortality rate, however, is high; many of the recorded bites have been fatal. Rapid progression of severe, life-threatening symptoms are hallmarks of mamba bites. Bites with envenomation can be rapidly fatal. Case reports of rapidly fatal outcomes, in as little as 30 minutes, have been recorded for this species.

That is definitely not the green mamba.

That is a non venomous green snake.

The Daura "genius " is yet to appoint a finance minister which has kept foreign investors wary.

But the OP chose to ignore this.

ZeroTolerance:
The population of Enugu city is around 700 000, that is less than 20% of Enugu state's 4 million population, so the earlier you accept that your population theory does not hold watter, the better. Besides, repairing the few remaining bad roads in Enugu does not the govt him from constructing/repairing roads other places.

I don't know where you got your population stats from but Enugu state has an estimated population of about 3.26million with a density of 460/sqKm, while Enugu city has an estimated population of 722, 000 with a density of 17, 000/sqKm.

What i'm simply trying to make you realise is why your analogy is flawed. Abakpa and Emene are more densely populated hence road construction there will impact more lives than it would in the rural area both in economic and social terms.

Of course like I said earlier I believe the government should be able to handle rehabilitation of Obollo Afor roads, but in a situation where they have to choose we all know where the priority lies.

So he had to recall a fellow retiree to come and head the SSS just because he is from Daura.

What is Buhari getting us into.

ZeroTolerance:
More of Obollo Afor... As you can see, people actually live in these rural areas, contrary to what some fools say.

More people live in Abakpa and Emene.

I hope the government deals with all (which it hopefully should be able to) but if not, it is clear where the priority lies and where more impact can be made with less funds.

lol!
You got me at the end.
You should send this to all candy crush addicts.

IGBOSON1:
^^^Thanks Bros! I just like reading scary novels.....like those of Stephen King!

You are a Stephen King fan!

I thought as much.

That write up mirrors Stephen King.

Buhari's first month in office is the WORST ever of any president in the history of Nigeria.

Habidab:
There is nothing you people will not talk,but if the situation of queuing in filling station is erradicated and things are moving steadily like this,no corruption...like most of you papa Jona administration did...In a Month please give credit to the BABA

Fuel situation that arose few weeks before the handover due to fears of uncertainty if what Buhari's government will be.

tsdarkside:
but in your hearths,you guys are wishing failure...mind you,i was a strong jonathan follower ones...i had nothing against jonathan,,,only that chibok situation realy pisssed me off!!!

Are the girls back?

Even if a warning of very graphic is added when such pictures are put up, there is a limit to what can be shown in such a forum.

This man has relatives that are still alive and would rather forget this gruesome ordeal.

It think such pictures should not be put up at all.

If one can notice professional TV stations do well to leave out gory details. This is mainly done to protect the grieving families.

Please lalasticlala, Seun etc take down or sensor the picture.

I have had a personal experience with both cars.


The Honda is no doubt the better car to drive but that is not what you mentioned as priority.

The Toyota is cheaper to maintain, is more durable(by virtue of our mechanics being more comfortable to work on it),and has a better resale value.

Correctman0606:
This Dumbest president pictures are improving every days. His neck and face appears very big while below the neck appears very dry like, as in dry fire wood. This apc photo man sabi hom work well.
He photogeaphers should countinue to deceive himself. There is nobody who does not know Buhari's dried body like half inch rod.

Rochas is a monumental failure.

Virtually all the roads in Owerri are on the verge of failing.

Apart from Wetheral and perhaps Orlu,akanchawa roads all the other roads have one terribly bad spot or another.

World bank is a no go area now.

...and many others I can't remember now. Can't believe I've actually forgotten Paulo's name.

Now who remembers Evil Passion, Jezebel and my all-time favourite, Rattlesnake?

Rattlesnake was awesome.

Try driving off with a policeman on your hood in the US at a checkpoint and see whether you will live to tell the story.

Tolexander:
you are very right bro!

The one that still keeps me wondering is that of a family in my neighborhood. They will always go to church every Sunday morning to struggle with other members for the limited parking spaces in the church about 3 houses away.
Father driving Nissan Murano, mother in her Sienna, Son in his Toyota corolla and Daughter in her KIA Concerto.
Convoy to church of 3houses away with limited parking spaces!

What is the meaning of that?

Una go kill person for here.
lol!

Even if he insists the person must be from northern Nigeria, must the person be ex military.

ZeroTolerance:
Are you saying Emene is the only road he can repair in the next for years? What is clannish about what I said? I am not from Nsukka and I spoke for all rural areas in Enugu. You are a confirmed fool sir.

He has to start somewhere.

I am not against him developing Nsukka but you make it seem as if his road construction in Emene is an overkill.
Which is not.
Emene is the state's industrial layout and if you are hoping to attract investors that will grow the state's economy, Emene should definitely be in a decent condition.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Development of emene, abakpa and 9th mile shouldn't hinder developing the rural areas or their revenue potentials. You ppl make it sound as if all revenue is only possible in the capital . UDI can serve as a tourist heaven if those attractions are turned into commercial tourist sites and a city will sprout from there too.

I agree with you.

I was replying to a post that implied that the governor's road works in Emene was laying too much emphasis in Enugu city when the governor had already promised he would also give Nsukka a proper make over.

ZeroTolerance:
You are a very big idiat, when did I say Nsukka should have priority over Emene? He should remember the rural areas in his roads construction, that is all. I am not asking for dual carriage world class roads, simple passable roads will do, people are suffering. You are the fool here sir.

You implied that all the roads in Enugu city are in good shape when someone said that the governor is working on Emene roads.
Then you said unless he wants to start demolishing the already good roads, he should not forget Nsukka.

That sounds rather clannish.

ZeroTolerance:
Since majority of the roads in Enugu city are already in good condition, what do you suggest he governor do? Demolish and rebuild them? You are not making sense sir. On what basis do you decide where the roads are mostly needed? Do you realise that more people will gladly remain in the rural areas if they can get basic amenities like good roads there?

It is not financially feasible to have the same amenities in the rural areas.

In any case if that happens it ceases to be rural and becomes urban.

Abakpa, Emene and 9th mile are about the densest parts of Enugu and are in dire need of good road network.
There is a reason why Enugu is called the coal city state.
Enugu city is the state's major attraction and revenue generator. It must always remain the priority.

I am not saying that Nsukka should be neglected but suggesting that it should get priority over Emene which harbours an international airport with a cargo terminal and is the major industrial layout of the state and thus a revenue generator is just plain folly.

Cheap publicity.

If Abia people do not hold their new governor down to focus on Aba then, they have themselves to blame.

That city needs a total overhaul.

However the OP is obviously biased.

Bluetooth2:
This guy wanted to look like a hero but didn't consider his own security. You are Ibo, you went to hausaland to snap a pciture ?

You put your name and your selfie this is how corpers were killed in Bauchi because they snapped the pictures of underaged voters. If you survive this, don't try it next time.

This type of school exist almost in every states in Nigeria so playing hero as if it exist only in Kano is not only hypocritic but also stupid.

Yet we want a better Nigeria.

If DD is overwhelmed, he should just resign.

ignis:
PDP will soon lose their respect with moves like this. ..

APC has lost all its respect already.

It is long overdue.

It is extremely difficult to believe that in these days of unemployment a banker will fling a card at you just for asking him for your pin.

If that is what happened then it is unfortunate.

I am so sad and angry. Why would someone drive against traffic.
