Yeah

Around 2021 or so...

I was in a popular town in Osun state, the town started as a refugee camp maybe two hundred years ago

I was living in the house of the richest woman in that town, behind our fence is a mango forest where I spend sometimes in the afternoon after work or sometime in the weekend doing nothing, just roaming about the little forest, beating around the bush like an idiom...

One afternoon, I saw a mother "Mongoose" on a mango tree and it saw me too. It was carrying it's baby with its mouth, maybe it wanted to exclaim haaaa mogbe as it saw me, so it inadvertently dropped the kid it was holding with its mouth.

I had never seen a "Mongoose" before then, not even on NatGeo or any book.

I didn't even know what to call it. I knew it wasn't a rat and not a bird of course.

The mother "Mongoose" ran away.

The baby it dropped was still blind and couldn't move.

It looked like a big rat with a bushy tail.

I picked it and took it home but I didn't know what to feed it. I fed it milk I wasn't sure it was ingesting it.

It was much later I got to know I could have fed it cockroach, lizard or gecko or flesh, it was a carnivorous animal I noticed it had canines, sharp canines unlike rats.

After some days it began to think I was it's mum, I kept it in my bathroom but men, it stinks like crazy. It has a peculiar smell that it secrets.

The smell was something else, worse thing is the kind of noise it makes, it's a pitchy noise louder than a rat's, and longer, it's unbearable.

I had to ditch it ASAP.

I returned it to the same spot I found it in the forest after about a week.

When I was trying to confirm its identity, I posted it here on NL and some Nlanders reached out to me. Pocahontas and some guy who runs a kind of zoo or animal rescue reached out.

In fact he was gonna buy it, but that was the day after I had returned it to the bush...

Maybe it was worth a fortune, maybe not. 😆

But it could have been unlucky if it were some kids that found it. They would have probably kill it and not even eat it.
Or maybe a snake would have swallowed it but I learnt they feast on snakes too actually, but this was a baby, I doubt it could withstand a grown snake.

Nobody in that vicinity knew what it was. They had never seen it...

Something tells me there would be a Python in that bush and I always looked forward to encounter one but it never happened, maybe it would have been another story or i wouldn't live to tell the tale.
I was always in that bush like one hour everyday, doing nothing but roaming, with my phone in hand, my Bluetooth speaker, my mug of coffee or coke, or sometimes Alcohol and most importantly, his royal highness, some Blunts.

It was ways cool there, natural. There was a shallow stream too filled with crabs and at the bank were some palm trees usually with ripened fruit. Some days I would go with a cane, fishing line, hook and sinker and pretend to fish, but I never caught nothing 😊

Sometimes later, some cultists from OAU ife were caught in that same bush during an initiation ceremony, somebody snitched on them.
The police and local vigilante went after them and they left in a hurry leaving their kokoma (brew) behind...

Some of them were caught but that brew that they left behind, the vigilante carried it and brought it to my area, to my friends bakery, there were drugs and hard drugs too.
We used some of their drugs, cannabis, rohypnol, maybe molly ( I only do cannabis)

Nobody knew what was in that kokoma but it was mostly palm wine, schnapps and some of the tablets from the look of it.
Some of us drank it and the next day they said they had a hard time staying awake and conscious 🤐


I was not sure if those cult boys had not added their blood to that brew as it wasnt black or brown or red but then I wouldn't try it.

Anyway I doubt it because it seems the initiation had just started when the police arrived the scene and screamed hands up everybody...

If you move but they moved 😂

I like to reminisce and write whenever I am bored

What's the need posting a follow up thread when u have release the animal back to the wild, I was expecting to see progressive growth of the animal and how far big it had became.

Hmmm. Hunger don dey make some people mad and frustrated.
No worries, you never see anything yet.

Na your papa I dey blame cuz him for just condom or nylon if to say him no get money for condom

Your story started with a pet mongoose and then sidetracked to a python and ended with cultists and their brew. At some point I was beginning to think if you were okay (no offence). I'm still trying to decide whether you're just a regular brilliant guy just reminiscing in no particular direction, or simply non compos mentis.

You are a patriot

Why are yabaleft doctors this careless. How can you allow a patient to escape from your facility like that. Each time they do, they always end up in Nairaland. Look at Beefraud Helinues Legendhero yarimo and now this one. All yabaleft patients. Chain your patients and give them their doses. Is that too much to ask 🤨🤨🤨🤨

The

Good for you and your mongoose.

There are things one shouldn't joke with, this is one of them.

Pray make better hungry nor catch area men , because na once there go barbecue am as bushmeat

We killed this same animal were we went to work, men the faeces stinks, it has big faecs

Mongoose

That's Kẹ́kẹ́ or Asínko in Yorùbá.

With all the advertisements about staying away from drugs? We should better to not encourage people in these acts. If you are deep in the act, i am sure you know it's bad for you but don't try to paint it as cool. One reason why we are having this never ending war with Drugs is how our celebs and artistes glorify these things. Now, youths are into it , feeling fly and funky just as they see and hear from their Idolo

nice
