Puh-leeeese.

Have you actually seen a civet or an ocelot before? I mean live? Like actually hold or cradle it? I have.

The banded tails, the coloration... and the smell...

Sorry o. Zoologists say Civets and Genets are not felines. You can go create your own classification if you so wish. Oh yeah, ocelot is a cat (feline).

Genets are inquisitive but cautious animals and are easily startled. They can be held and petted, but for the most part do not like to be restrained. They are very clean pets, generally consistent in their use of litter boxes.

Genets can be socialized to exist peacefully with other pets, such as cats and dogs, but they will attack small animal pets. Kruzer, the veterinary technician, amplifies on this: "Genets are not cuddly pets. They are nocturnal and don't do well in groups of genets but usually will get along with dogs and cats if they have grown up with them. Smaller pets, like hamsters, will quickly become food to a genet."[27]

Owners and experts strongly warn against giving a pet genet away. Jennifer Orchard, a writer of articles on adopting exotic pets, says, "Once bonded, genets must remain with their original owner. Much like flying squirrels, their attachment to their owner is very deep and they simply cannot adjust to new people. Genets that are given away frequently become neurotic or even revert to a state of complete wildness."[32] Ashley Duncan, another expert on exotics, writes, "Genets are a ONE family pet, there is no such thing as rehoming a pet genet. They will not remain tame with a new family and a new environment. Change in environment and caretakers is very stressful on genets and can also cause self mutilation, cage pacing and behavior changes."[36]

Wow

The common genet is not in danger of becoming extinct, and is listed on the IUCN Red List as of the "least concern".[37] They are plentiful throughout their home range in Africa and Europe.[11] Some minor threats include: hunting for food and fur, predator trapping for hunting management, and habitat destruction and fragmentation due to urbanization and tourism.[37] However, none of these threats are thought to be causes for major concern. Although the common genet is not endangered, it can act as an indicator of a forest's health.[38]

Difference between Civet and Genet:

Educative.

These felines are as elusive as its larger spotted cousin(The jaguar).

They are NOT felines. They are NOT related to jaguar (so not cousins).

Abduletudaye:
I haven't seen a cayote spotted this way...and its definitely not a hyena.

Its a Lynxxx.

Lynx does not exist in Africa.

19naia:
That may be an Ocelot, Its a rare type of dwarf leopard..But its coat pattern is more like a Civet... I could be a rare african Civet.. They never get very big, so that one in the photo may be almost an adult... They are not dangerous to people and should not be killed because of fear...We Need Education of people to know that they are not deadly and that they are the ones in danger of extinction because of people...

Oyan is the name of a type of west african Civet.. This may be the Oyan or related, it has a banded tail and spots somewhat like this one..
They extract musk from them to use in perfume.. Its also known as African Linsang Civet..

Ocelots don't exist in Africa.

When someone confessed to a crime that is reversible in time, you have to forgive him or her. And short up your mouth.

See another thief. You better stop now before we read about how you get sentenced to die by hanging for stealing "just" 2000 Naira on the pages of newspapers.

Etruth:
Are u for real? U are a big problem to Nigeria with this your mentality. All I deduce from ur post is that you pilfer yourself. Pls stop it for your own good. Receive grace to resist d urge to steal in Jesus Name. Amen

LOL. The number of thieves on this thread is alarming. From their posts you can tell, just like the one you quoted. It's like their logic is inverted.

Man pregnants a minor and mother is asking for his release... Poverty is indeed a problem

The mother dropped the ball. But then it's too late to blame anybody. Who will take care of the pregnant 13 year old? Even abortion, they cannot afford. Her suggestion appears her best option, apparently.

lmaoooooooo........many are mad few are roaming.

LMAO. I will use that soon enough.

OK then. If u pass this month know I'm not called, u will know what befall u soon

LOL...called? Hearing voices? Better go to Yaba Left. I already booked your appointment.

Volksfuhrer:
Azikiwe escaped because he knew about the coup. Ifeajuna who masterminded the coup was Azikiwe's cousin!

While the Sardauna and others were being killed, Azikiwe was enjoying himself in the West Indies with "papa doc" of Haiti.

Azikiwe was no clairvoyant. He was told to run!

So, there you have it! The chronicle above was how he escaped and dodged the bullet.

Nigeria has never been the same since then.

LOL. You didn't know? His god is a serial killer.

Someone I know picked up someone's ATM Card, deciphered the pin (I don't know how he did it) and withdrew over 150k from that account.

The owner of the card reported to his bank, they blocked his ATM access and reviewed the pictures/videos from their various ATM points in the state.

Discovering the thief's face from their review (his face didn't match the account owner's face) they alerted the security, and waited for him to return to his newly found goody goody account.

....He ventured and he was caught.

That's the use of the camera.

...and how does this scenario compare to a random act of armed robbery? You expect the armed robbers to return to the ATMs to withdraw money?

Lionel Messi is too good for the Premier League

What we learned: Lionel Messi would waste his talent in England and four other talking points from Barcelona's 1-0 win over Manchester City

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-city/11479783/Barcelona-vs-Manchester-City-Five-things-we-learned.html

So it took them this match to know what we have been saying for over 6 years? Welcome to last decade.

They can't even get the name right. First, one said Ademulegun. Second, another said Adekunle.

FYI, Ademulegun (and his pregnant wife) were one of the casualties of the coup. Of course we all know you are trying to say Ademoyega; the only non-Igbo member of the coup who of course wouldn't have been wooed if not for the fact that he was the foremost (or only) Nigerian Army Officer with Operations and Signals training.

lt seems our politicans has been stealing since independence if not how can a former teacher build this house though it looks cheap compared to the manisons our present day politcans are building.We are praticing lootcracy.

Then when developing your region was paramount,the central government was not so attractive and there was healthy competition among the three regions each developing at there own pace according to their resources.................Nigeria needs to revert back to regionalism we might be better

So Sir Ahmadu Bello was a thief eh? Firstly, this was not his personal house. Secondly, his lineage gives him access to wealth. He was from a royal family that can be traced to Uthman Dan Fodio. Thirdly, if Sir Ahmadu Bello was killed for corruption, how did Nnamdi Azikiwe escape the same fate?

GoodBoi1:
What if the pin is 2222?

I doubt that kind of symmetric pin will be accepted.

jnrbayano:
The robbers who try this are not aware a camera is right there above their head.

They may achieve their aim quite alright but will never successfully settle down to eat their loot...

...and what is the use of a camera when we don't have a database to match the faces against? Even if they put their faces on the pages of newspapers or TV news, will anybody come forward to identify them?

5minsmadness:


OK ok. Lemme not laugh. Let me say I didn't understand what you typed up there. You have pictures of the big bang or you have pictures that hypothetically prove the big bang theory. Because it is the former I asked for and not the later.

Your 'echo' explanation is as empty as an echo itself. You hear an echo in the universe from your scientific equipment, and you now choose to define it's source. How do you know the echo is not God 's voice, or if that example offends you ; the explosion of some ancient nebulae?

Try again bro.

Oh and replace anywhere you wrote "proof" with "faith".

I' ll leave you to decide whether I read scientific journals or not.

I understand you don't have scientific inclination; because I may be tempted to think you are dimwitted. Yes, there are pictures that prove the Big Bang. And once again, I pointed mentioned that the "echo" explanation was an analogy. If you can't understand that, there is very little I can do to help you.

Oh, and on that "choosing to define ...source" comment; if you can at least know what a nebula means, I would expect that you should then be smarter to know that those who study things like that can tell the difference between the explosion of a star or collision of 2 planets, or what ever. The operative term is "signature". I will leave you to marinate on that.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Awww. My condolences.

frankmishael1:
watch and see then, how only u will end up before 31st

M0therfucker, your MOTHER is likely already dead. Go check on her quick.

5minsmadness:
It's simple, really.
Show us a picture of the big bang. After all according to you guys 'seeing is believing'.

You can't? It's just a theory i.e a human idea? OK then.

You see how you exposed yourself. If you read enough scientific publications, you would have seen enough photos that prove the "Big Bang". Now, it may not be exactly as conceived by human minds in the 21st Century, but there is enough proof. The best way I can explain it to you is the "echo". When somebody shouts in the right geographical area where sound can bounce back, you hear the echo(es) ring for some time. The "echo" of the Big Bang can still be "heard".

frankmishael1:
answer the question u want to die this month with him? do u want to test my God?

How about I die with your whole family? No qualms.

gbl01:
Life must be damn so hard for you! Please mind your business and quote me no more.

LMAO @ mind your business

frankmishael1:
u want to die with him?

You mean, you don't want to die? You don't want to go to Heaven?

annazubi:
Pls delete this dear, so as not to give those bad guys ideas. They are on nairaland too. Thanks.

The "idea" makes no sense in Nigeria. Why go through all that wahala of carrying a body to the airport to dump in the wheel well of an airplane? When a murder occurs in Nigeria, the culprits have close to 100% chance of NEVER getting caught once they escape the scene. This is not the US.

Confessions of a paranoid schizophrenic.
