ABCthings:
Are you ashamed of his age? If not let them proudly call it.

Analogically speaking, are your parents introduced as Mrs. ABC and her XX-year old husband? If not, why not? Are they ashamed of your father's age?

It's not about being ashamed. They are wider age gaps out there. You just know theirs cause they are popular. It's more about decorum. Whether she is ashamed or not, nobody would like such an intro. She married a much older man against your wish, oh such a great sin, so let's taunt her everyday??

My post wasn't even about shaming her or not (she is making money out of it) but about the hilarious and hypocritical "congrats to her". I mean, if they hate her, let them have the decency to be open about it and stop with this fake pleasantries already.

_{NB: I wasn't referring to your parents above.}

You say "congrats to her" as if you wish her well yet you can't do a simple headline without calling attention to the husband's age for malicious reasons.

Strange and ugly and you're eating it

My brother, that thing can't digest in a week.

Ok. Try Google. A lot of wildlife experts/enthusiasts and snake owners are there to clarify.

tophumble:
Due to the size of the meal swallowed by the snake, they will become almost inactive thereby exposing them to threat from humans

True. Fact.

But the majority of them don't even live near human habitat.

Zeeknow3245:
Are you a Vet?

He is. (I'm assuming "vet" here is the slang for "pervert" )

Do not let anyone make you feel foolish for helping your friend. You are a grateful person and that's great. However, going by your own side of the story, it appears your friend is abusing that. If that's the case, you have reasons to be worried cause he won't stop until you stop him. Pray tell, did he introduce you to the job source with the sole aim of getting you a job or was it by chance that the person he introduced you to just happened to have a position you can fill? This will help determine if you should just stay away from him like someone said above or stick to your dear old friend but with strict limits.

If he went out of his way to get you a job (if it's not by chance), then it's safe to say he is a nice guy; even his sense of entitlement does not generally make him a bad person. We all have the demons in us that stick up sometimes (especially during hard times). You don't know what your other working class friends would be like without a job. You don't know if they'd even be willing to introduce you to a job source. Guess I'm just advocating for the devil you know but the grand point is, don't discard your friend without trying to tame him first. Let him know that he can't always get it when he wants and even if he does, it wouldn't always be the amount he wants. It's friendship, not business! Turn him down sometimes and give less than he asks most times (except if it's dire situation). Just help him out of your own will and not cause of any obligation. With time, he will get the message and if he leaves cause of that, celebrate with your beautiful wife and lovely kids cause he was never a friend but an investor.

In other words, shake your tree of friendship and let the bad fruits fall off.

_{Btw, if it were a girl now, they'll be shouting "girls and entitlement!" instead of addressing the girl in question.}

It's all about keeping records. We probably have older people even there in Africa.

nams77:
Two weeks us small. That thing will take up to two months

It's not. It can even take a week (typical). It only takes a more during the period of reduced metabolism (something some snakes do during famine).

Biodun1929:
One year without eating. That is a lie jor

Don't say that's a lie. Say you don't believe. That's more tactful. Pythons can lower thier metabolism by 70% during famine. How long they go without food depends on the specie and the last amount of food they ate. Most species can go more than 6 months while some go up to 12.

FGonline:
meanin thy can swallow human,when thy are in search of food.

Python is amongst the few types of snakes that have records of actually preying on humans but the cases are very rare cause most times, they do not attack humans except if they feel threatened.

tophumble:
Is that so? But in most cases when they do so they end up dying.

Dying from having a huge meal or dying from not eating a long while after? Whichever one, that's not really the regular case.

While there's been reports of snake death caused by indigestion, the snake would usually vomit whatever the body can't digest due to size. As for not eating in a long while, that's thier nature.

Kubernetes:
If the python isn't killed.
How long will it take the ante to digest?

Two weeks. But the python won't eat for the next 10 months or thereabouts

praiseneo:
probably 2 weeks it won't feed

Yeah, it takes two weeks to digest but the python won't eat for about 10 months.

tophumble:
Jor ooooo

This python must be a politician, very selfish and greedy, how can it swallow an Antelope.

After such a huge meal, they typically don't eat till the next 10 to 12 months. So it's not really greed. It's planning for the future.

stevmatt15:
Exactly, I wonder how they squandered their money
If not only women, cars and buildings, tell me what else would have exhausted their wealth. Just 1milion naira, and I will never be broke in my life again.

For some reasons, I found your comment touching. But trust me, you could still be broke even after having 20m in your account. You'd be surprised it won't even be any of the things you mentioned. It takes a single bad decision for everything to start spiraling down. But that's not your portion!

OP, one question. You, will you make heaven?

Ghostrye:
is there any way to let this topic get more interaction from people, I need a highly religious yet intelligent person to prove you wrong...

And also to prove me wrong, but same thing

I am not a religious person but I think this thread would only attract those with a strong desire to prove they are intelligent (those who debate to impress and not to educate). I don't think really intelligent persons would be inclined to comment or debate on here. If you want to attract intelligent people, you'd have to express yourself intelligently. The title of this thread is tactless. Asides from being outrightly supercilious, it also sells as a glaring decoy that anyone with brains would want to ignore.

I mean, intelligent people don't go around trying to prove they are intelligent. They simply follow intelligent threads and regardless of the content of this particular thread, a title that calls on people to come and prove they are intelligent doesn't present the thread as an intelligent one. It, in fact, undersells the thread.

I could be wrong, this is just my opinion.


**Edit**
The title has been modified.

It's not fair if she was being targeted

@OP, I think the reason is very simple.

It's mostly because right from time, women have always been shamed for expressing their sexual desires. People will call you all sorts of names when you're very expressive of your sexual feelings. Even those who do not openly slut-shame you would make a mental note not to end up with such a woman, lol. So they naturally adapted and it became a woman thing not to show such desires even when they should.

Again, I think guys naturally have stronger sexual desires. This is because sexual pleasure for us is mostly physical while some ladies need some level of emotional attachment to enjoy it.

I don't get it; you guys don't know how to quote other people's posts on here? Why quote the entire lengthy comment? You're complaining it's long yet you you quoted the entire thing; how are you different from the writers?

HELLP NAIRALANDERS

I will be brief with my writeup as much as possible so I can explain my connection with this lady.

OP, big kudos to you for the objectivity in your story! This isn't common on NL these days where people come to ask for advice and yet try to influence our judgement by acting the victim. You have my respect, sir.

First, your uncle and aunt did well for you, bro. They might have sent you home because you were coming of age and keeping you around might have hindered the expensive plans they had for thier kids (or for any other reason best known to the adults as at that time) but the fact remains that they took you in, clothed you, fed you and educated you all out of thier own goodwill. Each time they paid your fees, they deprived themselves and their children something. She might not have treated you up to your expectations; she might have feared you would outshine her kids; we all have our demons. But in the grand scheme of things, she helped you. She nurtured you at your formative age. Just wanted to get this out of the way.

Now, you had grudges against them (which might be justifiable) to the point that the woman whom you once called "mother" was dying and you didn't bother to go and see her. We're not talking about giving them material things in return, no. We're talking visiting a dying person, the person that raised you. I'm not trying to "guilt trip" you but that was a bit unfair. You know this and what you see in your dream is not the woman but your conscience. You fear your actions or inaction might spoil things for you. It shows you're a nice person.

But you must forgive yourself. The woman is dead, she can't forgive. The husband has forgiven you. It's you who has not forgiven yourself. And you can only do that by accepting that you wronged her and undoing anything you did out grudge towards her (like not talking or helping her kids, anything at all). Once your mind is at peace, the dream will stop.
