“My dad died after I killed a crab in the compound” – Man who ignored dad’s warning never to kill any living thing laments

A Nigerian man identified as @tinny_vanilla on Twitter has narrated how he lost his father after killing a crab in his compound.

Tinny_ vanilla said his father had earlier warned him not to kill any living thing he sees around.

He said that he usually kills anything he sees crawling around because he didn’t like them.

According to him, he had killed a crab that was crawling into their compound late at night and the next morning his father was dead.

“My dad has always Instructed me not to kill any living thing I see around, 11pm 8th April 2010 I saw a crab walking inside the compound so I killed it. The next morning my dad was dead already,” he said.

Tinny said that he keeps thinking about how he took his father’s life and why his father’s life was in the crab.

Ewai_bekee reacted: “This crab thing and port harcourt people na 5/6 funny how it always turns out to be true. But why una dey always choose crab? Why not dog at least em fit run for em life small.”

Desola__xn reacted: “In Yoruba, crab signifies life. Once her father instructed her she should have found herself and listen to him because it’s not easy to see something and let it go. It can be draining sometimes so that was why your father died but normally he should have resurrected.”

Blossom_bie said: “Your dad was the crab or not? I’m not trying to be insensitive, I just don’t get it.”

Wealthy_yute said: “Omo! So sorry man. This crab thing is rampant in PHC. I always wondered though, why crab? I have had similar stories in different forms but all crab. To me, I feel if this is the transitioning process, why not use cat wey get odeshi(9lives)”

Mima_gift: “Please dont be hard on yourself, it was just your dad’s time to go..had nothing to do with the crab.”

Temiajii said: “I’m just imagining how the man struggled for his life when you were killing the crab. Probably said “stop my son”. Really sad. it is well dear.”

In other news, Gistreel reported that a Nigerian man identified as Jatto Ezekiel, took to Facebook to recount how his father who is a Pastor almost killed him.

Sharing photos of the injury he sustained, Jatto disclosed that his father nearly killed him for not believing his explanation for the existence of God.

He also accused his father of subjecting his mother to domestic violence when he was much younger.

Jatto wrote:

“My Dad just literarily tried to kill me. Because I do not buy his explanations for the existence of God.

“He said God was going to judge me, both physical and spiritual, and I told him that God should take his pick, which ever one.”
