PAGAN 9JA:
HEY SHUT UP! WE ARE TRUE NIGERIANS! WE DONT BELIEVE IN YOUR DEAD ISRAELI FOREIGN GOD!

EVERYONE INCLUDING THAT PASTOR KNOWS THAT IDEMILLI PYTHONS [size=16pt]NEVER[/size] HARM KIDS.

If we found a python, we wouldpick it up and put it in a bush.


GO WORSHIP YOUR DEAD GOD JESUS! OUR GODS ARE ALIVE IN ITS CREATIONS AS THIS PYTHON OR IN YOU AND ME!

Your jesus is worse than a dog. MUMU
Dudeeeee!! I thought the unbelievers were meant to be free spirits, taking thing easy and showing good sense.
Why are you so angry? Insulting Jesus and all? Just calm down abeg. If you don't like Jesus, that's cool.
But many folks here believe in Jesus, so insulting Him doesn't make any sense.
If you insult a man's belief, you insult the man. Take is easy bro. This life is not that difficult.

With all this bitterness on Nairaland, I wonder how people here actually lead their lives. SMH

LMAO... Dude you are crazy.

Funny and sensitive thread.
I am a christian and also from Anambra.
Indeed we don't kill pythons.
It has been an age long tradition.
At the worst you take it out of your home with a stick.

On the other hand, it's easy to lose it when you see the snake with your kids.
I think the man's actions could be understandable assuming he's telling the truth.

A bill of 54k is also reasonable from the community.
In my place, you will carry out a proper funeral with all the funeral rights.
That will definitely trump 54k.
They should just settle the matter so that everyone will go their way.

Lessons-
1. Whatever you preach, respect the law of the land.
That a chicken or goat wanders into your compound or farm, and eats your yam, does not mean that you should kill it.
Neither should you burn a koran (or bible) just because you have no firewood to cook (even though you bought it with your money).

2. Eke (snake) this is the 21st century and people are not happy; you cannot be entering any home you want anymore. So you have to chill.

Next time I see Nnam Ochie, I will ask about the origin of this tradition.
Anyone who knows in the house should please enlighten me.

The real reason is Africans see european destinations as desirable because they are programmed to believe these are the best destinations to go to.

I mean I am not saying one should spend every waking moment in Africa but put it on the table as a possibel destination.
The truth is really this simple!!! It's all about marketing.

THESE ARE OUR RULES!

PLEASE NOTE. THESE ARE ALL NUMBERED #1 ON PURPOSE!

1. MEN ARE NOT MIND READERS.

Christianity EtcRe: Why are majority of those who fall under annointing female? by vascey(m): 6:51pm On Apr 22, 2013
musKeeto: Goshen is being sarcastic...

And I'm quite disappointed by majority of the responses. What do you mean weaker sex?

It's more difficult to live as a woman in Nigeria than a man. And yet so much is expected of them. It's my view that in this desire to meet up with what society expects of them, these women have pushed further 'to God' in desperation, making them more susceptible to these kinds of experiences.

You're expected to take care of a family with money that buys even little with each passing day? Please...
You know, after 5 sentences, you still said pretty much the same thing other folks were saying- gullible grin.

I can't really add much because I haven't observed the trend. I have barely gone for prayer sessions not to talk of...

Perhaps, women move faster under the anointing because they have sharper spiritual and emotional receptors.

But they are not weak. far from it, the women I know are definitely not weak. I think God saved the best for the last.

And to think that it will be a free trade zone i.e. less duties than conventional ports as well as lower taxes for businesses established within the zone.

Some people can lie sha.
PoliticsRe: Lekki Port To Generate $200 Billion + 163,000 Jobs by vascey(m): 6:23pm On Apr 22, 2013
If the port is making $200 billion, it simply means that Nigeria's economy has degenerated so horribly that we import everything, from water to children. As much as I laud the effort of LASG, I will have you know that without a viable manufacturing sector, a port is simply a gateway to hell.

Foreign AffairsFrench Cameroon Hostages Freed by vascey(op): 11:28am On Apr 19, 2013
Seven members of a French family abducted in Cameroon have been freed, officials in both countries have said.

Cameroon's Communications Minister Issa Tchiroma Bakary told the BBC said they were in good condition and unharmed.

The family, including four children, were abducted in February by gunmen on motorbikes after a visit to Waza National Park in northern Cameroon.

In a video published on YouTube, militants from the Nigerian group Boko Haram claimed to be holding them.

President Francois Hollande said no ransom had been paid by France to secure the family's freedom.

Though he said secret talks had been taking place for the past few weeks to help secure their release, Reuters news agency reports.

"France has not changed its position, which is not to pay ransoms," the agency quotes him as saying at a news conference in Paris.

"I spoke to the father this morning... He told me how happy and relieved he was."

The release of the hostages was announced on national radio in Cameroon on Friday morning.

The statement from the presidency said they had been handed over to Cameroon authorities late on Thursday.


According to the Associated Press news agency, both the Nigerian and French governments were thanked in the statement.

The family has now arrived at the French embassy in the capital, Yaounde, with a heavy security escort, AFP news agency reports.

The French president's office said that Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius had immediately left for Cameroon to greet the family, the agency said.

Mr Fabius told AFP the French hostage were freed overnight "in an area between Nigeria and Cameroon".

Prisoner demand
The family, who live in the Cameroonian capital, Yaounde, where the father worked for the French gas group Suez, had been returning from a holiday when they were kidnapped on 19 February.


The family, kidnapped on 19 February, is thought to have been held in Nigeria
In the YouTube video released about a week after their capture, the militants demanded the release of prisoners in Cameroon and Nigeria.

One of them also criticised President Hollande for sending troops to fight Islamist militants in northern Mali in January.

"Let the French president know that he has launched war against Islam," he said.

The French-led operation in Mali has ousted the Islamist groups, including al-Qaeda's North African branch, from cities and town in the vast desert region they had captured a year ago in the wake of a coup.

Nigeria has contributed troops to a regional African force which has begun deploying to Mali to take over from French troops.

One of the hostages in the video said his captors were "Jama'atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda'awati wal-Jihad" - the official name for Boko Haram, as the Islamist group is popularly known in Nigeria.

Boko Haram, which began its insurgency following a deadly crackdown on its members in 2009, had previously said it was not involved in hostage taking.

It has usually followed a Nigerian agenda, and says it wants to establish an Islamic state.

During its insurgency at least 2,000 people have been kill in northern and parts of central Nigeria.

Another Islamist group, Ansaru - which was formed in 2012 and is believed to have links to al-Qaeda - is also active in northern Nigeria and has been involved in abducting foreigners.

Perhaps Seun can impart more at the local level because we can relate with him and all that.

But at the global level, mehnnn MZ is an icon, a legend, he redefined a generation and others to come.

It's two sides of the same coin. Similar thing happened to me late last year. I met my dream girl (and she liked me too) but she was still entangled with her ex. I let her go. Don't see myself pausing my life for anyone. The risk outweighs the benefit.

smile4kenn: I feel so honored to be the first comment. All of my hard work and dedication has paid off. Getting the top comment has been a dream of mine for many years, and I would like to thank those who have helped me along the way. First and foremost I would like to thank God for giving me this opportunity. Next, I would like to thank my girlfriend. She had been patience with me while I attempt to make the top comment. I would also like to thank my pet tadpole for surviving against all odds for over a week. Next I would like to thank the squirrel that lives in my backyard for climbing trees because that gives me inspiration that I need to get through the day to make the top comment. This is a special moment in my life and I would like to thank any of my unmentioned friends and family that have helped me along the way. This moment will be a moment that I will never forget. I just remembered a few other people I will like to thank; Facebook, my light in my room bc i wouldn’t be able to see the keyboard without it, the internet for letting me go on nairaland, my house because without it I would be homeless, and last but not least I would like to thank all the people out there that actually took time out of their day to read this. I cannot stress how much of a big deal to me this is. I have been trying to be the first comment on a post for years, but that has not been possible until this amazing day. Hopefully my good luck will continue, but this is undoubtedly a rare occasion. If you asked me how I did this, I would say, you can achieve anything u set your mind on. To all the nairalanders out there reading this, I would like to tell them to follow their dreams. Being the first comment is amazing, thank you everyone.
Imagine with all the resources AY, a professional comic, put into his video,people are hardly talking about it. This is the difference between "learning work" and pure magic. Now I understand how David killed Goliath. Just can't stop laughing.
