enigmagu1:



nigeria is not lawless the problem is enforcement sir...
I beg to differ, when the laws of a country are not obeyed then such a country is said to be lawless...
A country where jungle-justice is a norm is lawless sir.

Placing a postage stamp with the queens/monarch head upside down on an envelope is considered an act of treason in the uk


If you kill a deer while driving,you can not eat it,however the next person who comes along can.


old english law..In york,excluding sundays,it is legal to shoot a scotsman with bow and arrow.

for rule no 12....

The reason is because the british govt is very stingy..if you die in the house of parliament,you are eligible for a state funeral,and the govt consider it expensive to give anyone state burial.

In Morocco, if you molest an underaged girl, you marry her, because loss of virginity means zero chance of finding a husband. One such girl who was married off to her assailant recently committed suicide because of abuse. They're trying to change the law

chreld_b: Here's one weird and interesting law in the UK that I just found out yesterday out of curiosity. I used to see ducks and swans walking around in the UK like say dem self na citizen. dem go de even de chance human being for road self. I started wondering e be like say these animals no know say dem be better meat for human beings o! Especially the swans, they are the size and even bigger than turkeys. Me I know say if that kind tin de happen for 9ja those animals for don go extinct 50 years ago. Anyways I asked google and aparently the answer I got was that the reason swans are referred to as majestic animals is because they literally all belong the her majesty the queen of England. So a law was passed criminalising the hunting and eating of swan meat punishable by death sometime in the 17th century. The interesting thing is that the law and its punishment has not been modified till date. Sometimes I go just de look all those animals de talk for mind say if only una de 9ja una for hear am for inside pot cheesy.

My guy, in the US it is squirrels. Those rodents dey all over the place and I'm sure their meat tastes like grasscutter.
