See how alhaji turn abuja girl into a mermaid>Ladies be careful

First it was Nigeria, then Ghana, now Congo and on. A Youtube video of some mermaid like creature, supposedly existent in Indonesia was remade and re-branded, and word of mouth and media ineptitude recycled the story till the snake-man/mermaid was described as over 100 meters long, and 10 meters around. An Anaconda mermaid of some sort.
Update, June 15th: Sudan recently joined the list too, the same video was recycled and posted again on Youtube by the unscrupulous elements. In this case they claimed a Ugandan lady turned into the human-snake after stealing money.
In the Ghana edition of the rumor, the Anaconda-mermaid was described to have stopped the construction of a bridge, which kept collapsing(lol), till it was caught in Bui dam or killed.
The same pictures and video from Indonesia were injected in the media articles by unscrupulous ‘journalists’ seeking cheap publicity and the snake came to life.
Dear people of Congo and Uganda, and Rwanda and Gambia and wherever else. No one’s bride turned into a snake or whatever other story you heard or read.
No, no mermaid like creature was found in a river or sitting on a bus. We are not saying one can not be found, after all, Animal Planet TV show featured a show in which they purportedly showed real mermaids. Hmm, who knows, perhaps they were behind these rumors spreading round Africa to increase publicity and awareness of their movie.
They have been accused of creating a fictitious US government website, ‘believeinmermaids.com’ and pretending the website was hacked, to evoke real belief in the truth of their documentary.
Anyway, just know that you are not alone, we were all fooled with the same story, originally out of Indonesia. And if you want to know more about that mermaid you heard was found in your backyard, google ‘Indonesia mermaid’ or ‘Jenglot’, and get the story from source for heavens sake.
The only human headed snake right now in Congo is the mutiny. The two dangerous warlords tearing up the country, and baring the dangerous fangs of cataclysmal death, destruction and retrogression at the Congo.
