It's no lie.It's on www.bbcnews.com. You may wanna check it out. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4748292.stm It's one of the most emailed BBC news stories of all time.

I saw this in the BBC website and thought I'd share it with my good people. What do y'all think?

Sudan man forced to 'marry' goat

A Sudanese man has been forced to take a goat as his "wife", after he was caught having sex with the animal.
The goat's owner, Mr Alifi, said he surprised the man with his goat and took him to a council of elders.

They ordered the man, Mr Tombe, to pay a dowry of 15,000 Sudanese dinars ($50) to Mr Alifi.

"We have given him the goat, and as far as we know they are still together," Mr Alifi said.

Mr Alifi, of Hai Malakal in Upper Nile State, told the Juba Post newspaper that he heard a loud noise around midnight on 13 February and immediately rushed outside to find Mr Tombe with his goat.

"When I asked him: 'What are you doing there?', he fell off the back of the goat, so I captured and tied him up."

Mr Alifi then called elders to decide how to deal with the case.

"They said I should not take him to the police, but rather let him pay a dowry for my goat because he used it as his wife," Mr Alifi told the newspaper.

It's quite common for Nigerians to attempt to take advantage of their friends and relations who are well-heeled. They come up with all sorts of stories to make some money off the person. Nothing wrong in helping some of those who are genuinely in distress, but be careful about the opportunists.

@saintchux, youv'e said it all.

Ogbele o! You have opened up another topic. I think you can answer this question yourself.

Doesn't your boyfriend cook? Why should he buy food from outside when he is at home? You can help him by organising his kitchen so you can make something for yourself when go visit him.

Hi guys, what do u think about girls who visit their boyfriends with their girl friends tagging along, to the extent of passing the night at his place? Personally, i think they are taking a risk because there's a saying that "an erect penis has no conscience".

Guys, I am not Ibo but i know that not all Ibo guys are inordinately greedy for money. There

is this Ibo guy in my office whose bank account was inadvertently credited by more than half a

million naira who promptly reported the error. I know a lot of non-Ibo guys who would have

quickly withdrawn the cash.

Transcorp is a house built on sand. It amazes me that many people cannot see it for what

it is.The large corporations of the world which it's protagonists claim it is modelled after

actually started small and their founders were truly visionary and innovative men. What we

have here is a monstrous creation by manipulative people who want to reap where they

did not sow. The whole thing will come crashing down on them. I won't advise ANYBODY to

put a penny into that company in the name of investment. A word is enough for the wise.

If i were this girl i wouldn't go out with Highveld. He has a drinking problem and is not

about to change. Drinking is a very difficult habit to kick. Any woman who puts up with it in

the hope that her man would soon change is playing with fire. I wish we could get her own

side of the story cos there are two sides to every story.

I don't know if u have the guts for this. But if i were u i would stop calling her for a while just to create some suspense. Just one of the tricks of dealing with women. Don't be a groveller.

u need to check for replies to ur posts so that u can respond to them. it doesn't work the same way as the computer version.

Just type http://uk.mm.yahoo.com in your phone browser and you can chat with yahoo messenger on your phone. It works for me.

This is an out-dated question. It has been overtaken by DNA testing.

Hey maxjax, there's no problem with Chinese-made phones really cos all major phone makers have established plants in China to take advantage of the favourable conditions e.g low labour costs, that exist in that country. They manufacture these phones in China then ship them to Europe, America and elsewhere. It is because of the Chinese plants belonging to Nokia, Sony Ericsson and the rest of them that phone prices are crashing.

I wonder why Silverbird has not been hyping it up

No such code exists. Someone has been pulling your leg, baby. lol. Am not surprised.Certain people will believe anything that sounds good to their ears.

Unlike what obtains in the west, Nigerian girls cannot afford to go exclusively lesbian. They need the men to feed them. lol. What we have over here are usually bisexual women.

Sure they do. To drain the pockets of Nigerians. Only in Nigeria do customers defend defend their exploiters.
