In a heart-stopping incident that occurred earlier today, Neniger, a prominent Twitter influencer residing in Port Harcourt, has revealed how he had a close encounter with a venomous snake while harvesting plantains within the confines of his compound.
Recalling the terrifying incident, Neniger stated;
“So this morning I went to cut one of the plantains in my compound and strangely I felt something was wrong as I cut. When I brought it down and carried the heavy bunch with both hands, I felt a movement and then dropped the bunch, behold it was a snake curled around my hand and the plantain.”
Quick thinking and relying on his survival instincts, Neniger carefully placed the bunch of plantains on the ground and swiftly reached for his trusty cutlass.
Within seconds, he managed to shake off the venomous serpent, allowing it to slither away.
Displaying remarkable composure, he swiftly decapitated the snake, ensuring his safety and preventing any potential harm.
Expressing his gratitude for the fortunate outcome, Neniger said;
“Thanks to God I wasn’t bitten, and God gave me the skill also to overcome. Pals, be careful and watch your surroundings. God is good.”
As news of Neniger’s hair-raising encounter spreads across social media platforms, users are commending his quick thinking and bravery in the face of danger.
