Lemme add to this

Once it jumps from the tree,it's gliding can only descend, it can't ascend - that's not flying
I don't think flying necessarily have to be whether up or downward, flying is just a movemet through the air whether short, long, ascending or descending i think. A jump is a short movement through the air. Flying is a general term.

I am a living testimony, I had witnessed it before.

Sometimes in July last year, it was about to rain, then i saw a green snake gliding in the air and it was as if if was falling as a result of gravity.

At first, I thought it was palm leaves, so i decided to watch it till it touched the ground. There i saw it's a green snake.


I was surprising for me to see such things.

Yes...dat is why the author used the word fly with quotation marks.
He didn't do so at the beginning. It was after I made my comment he amended the title of the thread.

The snake is not really flying because It doesn't have wings to give it lift. Instead, it glides through the air.

It climbs up to a high elevation on a tree, springs itself, and jumps.
While in the air, it flattens the sides of its body to reduce drag and create lift which helps it cover a long distance as it falls.

The flying squirrel is the master of this concept.

That flying squirrel dey feel like jet pilot lol

Girls and snakes are 5 & 6. Out of every 10girls in this word at least 7 has a thing or two to do with snakes while the other 3 must be connected to their marine or witchcraft kingdoms knowingly or unknowingly to them. I just have phobia for women after my first snake girl experience my ancestors saved me from

I think it's high time we create a section for snakes related topics.

I've seen plenty of trends on this forum from wayback 2007 when I used to visit here as a visitor, never has a trend lasted this long like the snake trend... The traffic it gives this site should be massive.
Nowadays, we unconsciously click on snake related topics hoisted on Frontpage.

It's really annoying. Painfully, some of the trends are created at night. Imagine someone wants me to see the snake he killed by 11PM or 2am . Nairaland has become a snake zone

I don't think so. Meanwhile, I'm not talking about the title. Read the post, you will see that the word fly is in a quotation mark.
Also go to the link and click to see the original post where the OP copied the post. You can see that the original also has the word fly in quotation mark.

So I don't think that anything was edited after your comment.
Well, this shouldn't be an issue.

Afternoon peeps.. sorry for derailing the thread. Pls I am a private primary school teacher n since the outbreak of the pandemic, things have been really hard. Pls I just need a token from any well meaning nairalander just to make ends meet. I have just #280 left in my bank. Thanks in anticipation. God bless.


It's well my dear

Wish i could be of help.. It's a crazy world we live in

My honest advice

1)A part of all you earn is yours to keep.. Develop a saving attitude
2)Let your savings make money for you(no matter how little, invest)
3)Most importantly, never give up

Success comes to those that persevere

Hang on!! The Lord will bless you

If i tell you i understand, i might be lying

Only you understand what you passing through

The heartaches, the pains, the hunger, the feeling of uselessness

Some days you find yourself drinking from the pool of depression

Other days you swimming in the waters of sadness

You feel it's not going to end!!

No!! I don't understand how you feel!!

But i know 1 thing!!

Tomorrow will surely be better than today

It doesn't matter how dark the night seem!! The day will soon break

Hang on... And if you need a friend to talk to through this phase in life, you can message me(send me a mail)

Together, we will steer away from this pool of sadness.. Everybody has a right to be happy

Stay blessed
