Alusiizizi:
Cats are not immune to snake venom. That being said, cats do hunt and regularly kill highly venomous snakes. The reason why they can do this is that cats(house cats in particular) have incredibly quick reflexes(by some estimates, at least 20 times faster than human reflexes) and much faster that snakes can strike.

If you are interested in the GOAT of snake control you should go for a honey badger or a mongoose. Not only do they have incredibly fast reflexes(even faster than the house cat) but they are immune to virtually all known snake venom.

AndroBlaze:
In his old age, Falana has decided to become a Gen Z by force and prefers to "trend" than tell the truth.... a real shame for those of us who use to support and look up to this man.

For serious human beings, everywhere in the civilised world (including US and UK) a court martial can prescribe the maximum punishment, which usually can be appealed in more senior courts.

That's what the old man needed to say instead of looking to trend.

You know ball!

Go to Oligie, Ịgbanke or even Ekpon and hear tales of the marginalisation they go through as a minority in Edo State.

I randomly heard that Abudu have not had light in over ten years and I seriously wondered if it's state policy or the usual incompetence.

fineboynl:
Orhiowon is benefiting nothing in edo state. Tthe local government is lagging behind and no government presents.

You didn't provide alternative housing before demolishing their houses. Nigerian politicians are inhuman!

Providing CPR on a snake bite victim? This only further pushes the venom deeper into the body.
The first question any competent medical professional will ask is, what kind of snake bit her? This will quickly narrow down and pinpoint the most effective anti-venom for that particular kind of snake.

The shameful disgrace of Nigeria is that the whole federal capital territory doesn't have a centre equipped with anti-venom that any hospital across Abuja can call and have it available in minutes.

Abuja is expanding. It is inevitable that this expansion will reach areas that certain wildlife have long regarded as home. These displaced animals, snakes inclusive, start entering residential areas. The case of the Airforce personnel who got bitten by a snake that crawled through her soak-away into her toilet, is fresh in memory. Her house was built in a freshly claimed area.

Yet just a 45 minute drive from Abuja, along the Abuja-Keffi expressway, is a snake farm owned by a retired Chief of Army staff. The most evil CAS this country has ever had. Snake venom is steadily harvested from that farm and shipped abroad.

RaptorX:
This is making headlines because it happened in Abuja to probably a known person, never heard of her but people seems to know her. Do you know the number of people living in rural areas that die from snake bites in this country especially in the North, you will be shocked at the number. This is why I am shaking my head at all this comments about visiting native doctors for snake bites, if native doctors work the number of Nigerians dying from snake bites in rural areas will not be this high.

BlakKluKluxKlan:
That is black mamba.
A deadly, fierce and very bold snake that hates to be cornered.

I've had nearly fatal close touches with those monsters twice.

First time in 1991 at Ijesha express Lagos.
I used to do some modest 'Akuro' farming in the swamp area
I cleared the bush waiting for it to dry for morning. I was turning the grass when a small one bursted out timing. I gave a chase while looking for a weapon to use.
As she got close to another hip of grass, she suddenly turned 180 degrees and chased me. It was so abrupt I almost ran into it.
We repeated this cycle 2 times back and forth before I managed to kill it with a stick.
It was a close call.

The 2nd one was a far closer call somewhere in Ikorodu area.
It was my new site by swampy forest.
I built a 2-floor cage for my chickens.
A fowl on eggs was attacked by a very big black cobra about 5 feet long. The fowl's cry
drew my attention to the cage. She was writhing in pains on the ground. I looked into the cage, saw the eggs but no snake not knowing that the bastard had disappeared under the cage. While I was clearing falling leaves from the top of the cage, she came up to swallow the eggs and saw me. I didn't know nothing !
Well, she saw me as a rival and decided to deal with me first. And my left side of my ribcage was facing her
There's a deadly, focused and determined posture they normally adopt just before the kill. At that very second, perhaps by some divine instinct, I looked inside as she made tostrike ! I shouted and jumped back at the same time. I fell backwards. I think it was my shout that stopped her in the track. I was just saved by the whiskers.
She escaped but I set a trap for her with one of the eggs with a fish hook.
She came back the 3rd day and got trapped. By some funny hunch, I decided to repeat the trap. The 3rd day around noon, I heard a struggling moaning sound. Getting there I saw another one of exactly the same size
It was the female.

Gajagojo:
Anti Snake venom is applied based on the type of snake
Because it is made from venom
What works for cobras won't work for mambas

It us not feasible to stock all kinds of venom unless it is a regular occurrence

Most doctors never see a case of snake bite in their careers

WYZAD:
Rhis snake can be found even in Lekki.
When u are building ur house, the snake can hide inside the holes of blocks till d house is finished and it will start crawling inside d ceiling chasing rats and one day it will come out from d man hole and u will be asking from where dis it enter.

saphiere:
I planned that this year I will have a pet snake. Last week I was at Hotel Presidential to see if those Abokis that sell different kinds of animals have snake for sale.

My aim of wanting to have a snake as a pet is for social media content. I am watching some YT tutorials on how to take care of a snake. Can someone recommend non venom snakes?

Rhymesy:
Nigerians will just be posting just to make fame.
Let's understand this. UK is a temperate country locating in the temperate region and temperate snakes are nonvenomous; meaning that there are not poisonous. Nigeria is a tropical country locating in the tropics. Biogeographically, equatorial region is a home to most deadliest species of animals (reptiles inclusive). In UK, out of 50 snakes,the chance of seeing one that is poisonous in the midst of them is less than 1. Comparing snake bites in UK and Nigeria is a bias argument that lacks credibility.Netizens are not fools.We came from different field of studies. Stop blaming the government. Fumigate your environment and stay safe. May her soul rest in peace.

galantjoe:
That is why local herbalist treat snake, dog and other venomous bites very well. She must have relied on conventional medicine to treat the snake bite. But hospitals don't have anti venom,

When a dog bite my daughter I took her to health centre they directed us to a local herbalist who treated her.

She relied on oyibo medicine forgetting her root,

May her soul rest in peace

Ebinpawo1:
Using VAT remittance to determine economic contribution be very controversial.

Understand the principles behind VAT deductions and the Administration of VAT will help one with better understanding.

No doubt that Lagos houses the head office for most of the multi national companies and banks and other national big entities. But the products and services of those companies are consumed nationwide, while the VAT is collected and remitted centrally at the head office, just for convenient administrative sake.

So relying only on VAT contribution per region or state could be misleading. Rather a step should be taken further to breakdown the rate of consumption or propensity to consume by each region/state enhance understanding.

If the husband had proposed to marry the side chick, some people will not let us rest about age difference between them. They prefer being a side chick to an OLDER man instead of marrying one. Confused generation!

Nigeria is now the 6th largest contributor to global GDP. This speaks volume to how far we’ve gone in rebuilding our economy for global competitiveness. Now, we can all see why Shell wants to invest $20billion in our country over the next ten years.

All these are happening and some hate filled folks will still keep lying that the economy is not improving. We must never allow them to derail this trajectory of growth and prosperity that we are experiencing. This progress must continue. Kudos to Mr. President and his team for the great job they are doing.

MadPolitician:
The level of looting going on in the Niger Delta is stunning. No top military guy that ever served there is poor.
This guy was/is just a Colonel in the army, but was the money machine bankrolling a military mission in which his superior officers were involved.
You have to ask "how" did he make the money?

Its all boils down to the fact that he was posted to the Niger Delta at a point as a military commander of one of the lucrative anti this and anti that military operations. They basically collude with foreign oil thieves to loot the country dry once posted over there.
Now they're starting to make more money than they need and sponsoring coups and insurgencies have become fashionable..

This wasn't a coup to radically change things. This was a coup by some utterly corrupt officers desperate to re-imposse northern hegemonic dominance of Nigerias politics..

crossbreedwears:
My bro, if you read through the story very well, you'd understand their plan was to assassinate some political figures and detain the service chiefs. If they had succeeded, the army won't be after then because the heads are already being detained. They will install a new government and nothing will happen. Coup plotters knows they will get sanctions if they eventually get into government house. You won't have an idea of what a coup means sir. This is social media and I won't want to talk too much.

crossbreedwears:
Look at this man! If he had happened, nothing would change. They will install a military government and they will assure people they will conduct an election
