Strange: Man vomits live lizards after severe stomach ache

 Reported by Punch:

Edward Asuelimen, had woken up in the morning of July 16 with severe pain in his stomach.

“I woke up a few minutes after 5 am. In less than two hours, I had visited the toilet four times. Then I felt excruciating pain in my stomach. It got to a point where I could hardly prepare my children for school,” Asuelimen recounts.

Even his wife was very worried. But he managed to pull himself together and left their home with the children. Halfway to the children’s school, the pain became unbearable and he decided to get some drugs from a store on the way. Yet, a few minutes later, Asuelimen barely managed to walk out of the store by gripping the walls for support.

“I prayed hard to get back home. Anybody who saw me at that point wouldn’t have believed that there was something wrong with me,” he says. He kept praying and fighting the pain raging in his stomach until he got home. He was so weak that he could not step out of his car.

"Nigeria is a country we SHALL NEVER consider to do business again" - Richard Branson

So, you know how our 'thiefry' politicians ruin every good thing in Nigeria right?
Well, one of the first people to bring an international recognized airline to Nigeria, the CEO of Virgin Atlantic, Richard Branson had to abandon the idea after several bitter fights with our Government. You guys need to realize these corrupt politcians do not want the progress of Nigeria...as far as their pocket is full the rest of us can die!


 Why am i ranting? Read Richard's  comments on doing business in Nigeria.

"...We have virgin's ill-fated footsteps by setting up a new airline in Africa in conjunction with Nigerian government... The details of the doomed attempts to crack the Nigerian market in the 2000s is better imagined...we put ...together a very good airline, the first airline in West Africa that was ever IOSA/IATA operational safety audit accredited but unfortunately it got tied down to the politics of the country...we led the airlines for 11years...

we fought daily battle against government agents who wanted to daily make fortune from us, politicians who saw the government 49% as a meal to seek for all kinds of favour...watchdogs(regulatory body) that didn't know what to do and persistently asking for bribes at any point...Nigeria people are generally nice but the politicians are very insane...that may be irony because the people make up the politicians...but those politicians are selfish...we did make N3billion for the federal government of Nigeria during the joint venture...realising that the government didn't bring nothing to the table/partnership except dubious debts by the previous carrier, Nigeria Airways...The joint venture should have been the biggest African carrier by now if the partnership was allowed to grow, but the politicians KILLED it...Nigeria is a country we SHALL NEVER consider to doing business again..'
