A Nigerian man, Sani Yusuf, has set social media on fire with photos of him posing with a pack of lions.
He captioned the photos with “Conquer your fears. Achievement unlocked”.
While goldennationblog.com cannot at the moment of writing this report verify the pictures, a closer look at Sani’s profile shows he is a voracious traveler who has been to 62 cities in 33 countries.
In the first frame, the ‘stood’ some meters behind a lion and its lioness as he held a stick that looks like the one used by shepherds.
The second picture has the lioness standing on a tree and the other lying at the foot of the same tree. In the third shot, the animal was captured in a motion mode as Sani ‘walked’ behind.
When his photos surfaced on Twitter, many had a lot to say, asking why he would even dare go close to wild animals.

“Thought they said lion don’t climb trees, wetin I dey see so?”
@peterdgenius1 replied: “Lions climb short trees o.”
@Samuel0X_ wondered: “Lmao. Is it the stick or you’re just too skinny for them to feed on?”
@MahmoudTokura said: “Cowards live longer. Let the bush remain between me and them Amen.”
@LKrukrubo shared a similar experience: “Twas a scary experience but I’d do it over and again… There’s something magical being so close to those lions… Tigers tho are a different story, even the feeders and breeders don’t dare stray to the Tiger’s den. Tigers are way too deadly and unpredictable.”
