huni_naija: This story has just proven that anything is possible in africa!

Wouldn't be surprised if all them disney cartoon films where based on real life african stories i.e. "the jungle book" a young boy raised in the jungle

Still waiting for the african version of "puss in boots" from shrek, i'm sure there's a village somewhere of such phenomenon... May God hammercy!

Actually, Jungle Book is based in India.

greateros: y is the wole family looking like they were brought up by same monkey

do you read at all? these are people that just glance through the captions and go for pictures. if an article don't have pictures then it is not worth reading. mumu!

tchidi:

You mean the setting of the story?
Try to understand someone's point before rushing to show off knowledge

The setting of a fable does not have to be the same as the real place where the event (real or imagined, on which the story is based) happened.

its all based in India. even the names of the animals, type of animals, storyline etc.

there are many forest dwelling tribes in India, especially the Central regions.

Okay, sorry sir.
I just wanted to clarify that because I always knew of the story as a child (I had the book) before I saw the movie.
With tigers being exclusively Asian...
And the story taking place in the rain forest of Maharatsarabasha-something-something.

Make una no vex oh, biko kwa.

she didn't say it was set in Africa. Get it right. I could base my story on something that happened in South Africa but give it a Nigerian setting.

She only hinted that other cartoons could actually have real life parallels in Africa just as this one looks like the Mowgli story.

Why other people point dey hard una to understand like this?

Some info on some Disney cartoons and the countries the stories took place in:

Jungle Book - India
The Lion King - Tanzania
Finding Nemo - Australia
The Sword and The Stone - England (obviously!)
The Emperor's New Groove - Mexico
Brother Bear - Alaska (USA)
Lilo and Stitch - Hawaii (USA)
Peter Pan - The Bahamas
The Hunchback of Notre Damme - France
Hercules - Greece
Aladdin - Saudi Arabia
101 Dalmatians - England
Lady and the Tramp - England

Don't talk to my sister like that jare She's right and you know it. You are not baka, be tall enough admit when you are wrong

Teasing Nigeria all the time like you do smells like obsession, and it would not help your small Cameroon overtake Nigeria as the giant of Africa. Taking correction would not change the price of groundnut in your area either.

So chillax, eat some groundnut soup and apologise to tchidi.

Ejiné:

Okay, chillaaaaaxxxxxxx

That was for Pagan 9ja not you

Oahray: That was for Pagan 9ja not you

I know, bro

sharrap. Which kind of giant of Africa. What I said is not false ,I don't know her.sheii so weeping is now obsession abeg free me.

let them bring to Nigeria, Ota farm presicely, cos he get a play mate

Adanyebe: It is believed that his parents were killed in 1982 during the war and the boy was abandoned in the forest. He was believed to be about three years old when he was left alone and lived in the wild for another three years.

As the soldiers roamed about the bushes, they spotted what looked unmistakably like a human being among the monkeys. They had to disperse the monkeys in order to rescue the boy, but it was a struggle because the monkeys put up a fight.
One adult female monkey held Mayanja tightly to her bosom in an attempt to protect him

Mayanja has learnt rudimentary life skills like toilet manners. He knows when it is time for toilet and does not soil himself. He walks to the toilet door and waits for someone to help him. He likes sunbathing and staying in isolation and sometimes makes monkey-like sounds.
[img]http://www.newvision.co.ug/newvision_cms/newsimages/image/monk2.jpg[/img]

When he was found, he could not sit or stand, but only squat and jump. He neither smiled nor talked, but made jungle noises, which quickly got him a new name — Monkey Boy.

In the beginning, it was a struggle to take him through the bathroom procedure, but now it is his favourite activity. Though he cannot dress himself, he voluntarily lifts his legs in turn to wear trousers and stretches out his hands for the shirt.

He does not know where to keep his clothes, though.

I go soon break that your small groundnut head

What you said might not be false (you have excess tears, so you are free to spill some out of jealousy), but it's silly.

Better apologize now. You know if Nigeria sneezes, the whole of Africa catches cold

dude it has nothing to do with Africa. you are speaking with someone who swim in litearture. show some respect!

Africa is not the only place with forest dwelling tribes. you dont finiding monkeys living in temples in Africa.

if you are talking about parallels to Africa in Mowgli, pray explain to me these parallels .

Geez! This dude is dense. This thread is about something that happened in Africa, dammit!

She simply related it to the Mowgli story and wondered if some other Disney stories could find a bit of reality in Africa just as this one did (a child growing up with animals in the wild). Did you even bother reading the post that caused the controversy?

Making noise about swimming in literature is what empty vessels do. If you still keep arguing after this, I'd not bother replying. A smart person has gotten the point already.

Another tanzan

shut up.

daroz: I dont get the story right. The parents died in 1982, when he was about 3years old(meaning he was born around 1979). He only spent another 3years with the monkeys, meaning he was discovered at about when he was 6years old. Now he is 34years, 28years after leaving the Forest, yet he is still trying to adapt, when he only spent 3years of his 34years of existence in the forest with monkeys,and spending the rest 31 with humans? This one na lie, i no believe.

Many of the growth and developmental processes in human are irreversible (cannot be reversed)! And that explains why some diseases are not curable as well!

i just saw similar cases of children that were raised by animals. A Nigerian boy was also raised by chimps in kano state. check it out http://www.figureout.com.ng/5-cases-children-raised-animals/
