I was depressed but not broken.
So that night when I saw a snake at my door step, I had all the time and patience in the world to make a story out of it. And the fact that the snake was constricting a gecko made the story worth my time. Though I have always had a passion for wild life since my childhood, I never envisaged that my passion could find peace in the hearts of over 35,000 viewers on the internet.

I'm glad I shared my snake story; and in fact one viewer said "

dizzyfellow:
This is worth sharing on all social media. Op I salute your bravery and you have a good sense of humour. I laughed disregarding the fact it's a snake thread. You broke my record of being scared seeing a snake thread. Abeg careful o. Would check on your updates everyday not because of Simba but your kind heart.

"

From this experience, I have come to discover my gift. Though I have authored 2 very funny books previously, I am more convinced now more than ever that I was born a writer. A writer who has absolute control over words when used in peculiar real life scenarios and submerged in humour.

Life can be boring as it is; so there is no need forcing readers to read lengthy passages just because you have embedded a sentence or two that will be worth their time.

People want to laugh, people want to feel good all the time and though they may not know it -but people enjoy any 5min of laughter capable of making them forget about their immediate reality.

For this reason I have decided to start a wild life comedy blog. With undoctored pictures and videos accompanying the narrative I'm sure y'all will love it

Please advice me o! Na recession give me all this time

Bamz:
Your writing finesse actually shone through. Nice work. I actually doubt your Africanism by the way.

Make sure the empty pot is clean then place it on fire and pour some red oil.

Allow the red oil to heat for 4 mins then bring the pot down from the fire.

Add salt, onion, pepper, crayfish and stir a little then add your grounded egusi.

Make sure the grounded egusi had been soaked in hot water prior to this time. And when you pour it into the pot sure to leave the last bit so you Dont add the sand usually therein.

Then put the pot back on fire and allow to cook for like 12 minutes. Make sure you stir the soup intermittently so the egusi does not form large chunks.

Now add your meat/fish and some of the stock...be careful with the stock so you Dont make the soup too watery.

Then add your vegitable. I prefer to use bitter leaf but you may also use ugu.

You can add maggi if you like but I Dont cook with maggi.

Allow to cook for another 8-10 mins...or till you get the thickness you desire.

Am I African now sir?

otino:

I have been reading advises here concerning Canada students visa and all because that has been my plan to study in Canada. So I paid an agent to secure me admission in Canada and the admission letter came in on Tuesday this week. The program is a certificate program in Project Management and it starts in January 2018 and will end in August 2018.

All the documentation I'm required to bring appear easy so I will focus in the financial aspect.

The program will cost 16,000 CAD which amounts to about 4m. My

Living expenses is 8000 CAD that's another 2m.

School said you can pay half of the tuition fee but recommended that you pay all because it will enhance your chances of a visa.

I have put my sport Trac for sale at 1.5m last. in order to raise some money for tuition.....

House any heads up for me? Please I'm all ears.

PerfectlyPerfect:

And she doing quiet well

@makydebbie
How can you think of fainting when a snake is around the corner?

God bless you

So after all the civil engineering had been completed I now put the building on top one land way I been get since 2010.

Na there SIMBA go dey till I need to put another gecko inside for am. That will be in 2 weeks time. I go update una sha!

But I don tell SIMBA not to tamper with my Honey or my blender on that my piece of land if not I go evict am sharp sharp without further warning

After sometime I come dey reason say...shay be SIMBA na living thing?
E be like say SIMBA go need window for this him apartment o!

But that window must be very small to avoid stories that touch

So na so I root out my soldering iron plug am for electricity so e go hot well well

As e hot I come use the iron open 12 beautiful window around SIMBA apartment

So after SIMBA chop finish drink water, everywhere jus come dey strange wan kind for him eye

Me self hold the door of the self contain on high alert just in case SIMBA wan ja!

I go just use the door slam for him face we are now business partners SIMBA you can't be going anywhere by this time of the night.

Moreover I hear say snakes can go for weeks after eating a heavy meal.

SIMBA where I come from gecko na heavy meal for a lekpa like you OK so sit tight

By this time I had already fallen in love with SIMBA

I couldn't smash his head again

I started looking for an orphanage home that will be willing to accept SIMBA by this time of the night

I made some contacts but no reaults

I even called Buratai the idiot said he was at Mambila that I should call him next week ....just imagine

So I decided to bullshit everybody and take laws into my hand.

I dropped my phone so that my hand will be free to take the laws into my hand.

I went into my kitchen to bring a small self container for SIMBA before he will finish eating.

I dey suspect say SIMBA fit display acrobatics if him finish and I no wan take chances

Not long after that, the gecko was waist deep in SIMBA'S mouth.
Na that time fear come begin catch me

I started pondering what to do to SIMBA after he must have finished eating.

Abi make I nak am something for his Ogor? so that he follows the same path as his ancestors that have encountered me in the past.

Remember this my quote from this link below

https://www.nairaland.com/3881802/slept-snake-bed/2

EkoErrands:
A snake inside my house? That specie must be myopic. Not just any type of myopic but VERY MYOPIC.

After some time the geckos head was completely in SIMBA's mouth

...instead of the gecko to shout ajabirimo she just stay there dey hug SIMBA as if say na play we come play.

...so I started making a video of the entire spectacle....
After SIMBA the snake finished constructing the gecko, it started positioning for the gecko's head and like play like play SIMBA that is not any bigger than a pencil started swallowing a whole gecko

So I went outside to retrieve my shirts that refused to dry today because of rain...

I Dont usually go outside at night with my torch light but this time around I did. It was already 9 pm.

As soon as I stepped out of the door I turned left towards the lines and uprooted both shirts and made my way back to my door. But just as I stepped on my door I noticed something to my left. It was so small that I had to take a 3rd look.

Lo and behold it was a snake. And guess what? The snake was constricting a gecko. The last time I met a snake constricting a toad was in 2007 and that snake didn't live to digest that toad. When I strike I Dont miss!

But I have a problem, I love National Geographic more than Champions league

So I rush inside go bring my camera phone make I do small Naija Geographic
