There are so may laws, I’m very sure you’ve never heard about. They might sound funny, weird, crazy even, but believe me, they are very true, and if you looseguard, you’ll have yourself to blame ooooo.
Here are some of those weird laws across African countries:
1.Photographs require a government permit (Chad)
It is very illegal to take photographs without having the government permission to do so!
Chai, content creators would not like this one at all ooo.
Imagine not being able to take pictures of your food and oppress us on Instagram. wow!
Even with a permit, you cannot take photos of military sites, government buildings and airports.
2. Do not Slaughter an Animal in front of another animal (Kenya)
It is Illegal to slaughter an animal in the presence of another animal in Kenya.
Pepper soup shop owners in Nigeria would definitely kick against this law, but in Kenya, if you do it and are caught, you will get fined according to Section 8(1)(b) of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.
You could pay of fine of 2,000 shillings or spend 3 months in prison.
3. It is illegal for witches to fly their broomsticks above 150 meters in the air (Swaziland (Eswatini)
In 2013, the Civil Aviation Authority of Eswatini put a ban on witches from flying their broom higher than 150 metres. Violators would face possible arrest and pay a fine of R500,000 to ensure safety in low-level airspace.
4.It’s illegal to import or sell second-hand underwear, AKA Okrika (Nigeria)
E shock you too? The famous Okrika clothes we buy from the roadside are practically illegal, and i can boldly say that more than half of us Nigerians do not even know!
Not our famous Bend down select! These clothes are considered as contraband.
5. Do not pick or blow your nose in Public (Nairobi, Kenya)
Kenyans are taking this hygiene thing to another, and I absolutely love it. This was signed into law in August 2021. If you must do any of these, then it is mandatory to have your handkerchief with you.
One more thing, you can’t spit while walking on the road, because you’re spend enough time in jail or pay or a fine!
Love it!
