The Story Of How Daniel Was Eaten In The Lions Den

This is the Story of How Prophet Daniel Aboderin was £at£n by Lions at University of Ibadan Zoo in 1991 while trying to replicate Daniel In the lions den


Ibadan, the capital of Oyo state, is the largest city in Nigeria and the third in Africa after Cairo and Johannesburg. The city which lies in the south-western part of Nigeria is known for its rich and fascinating cultures, lifestyle, history and spellbinding tourist destinations

One of the most visited tourist destinations in Ibadan is the University of Ibadan zoological garden which proudly houses different animals ranging from lions to rabbits. It is a popular custom of many families living in Ibadan to visit the zoo during festive periods to hang out and have fun as well.
So, on a fateful (later bloody) day in the Easter season of the year 1991, visitors stormed the U.I zoo as usual to enjoy the serene environment of the enclosure and have fun seeing different animals they have only seen on screens.

A man, a bold and daring prophet by the name Daniel Abodurin who wanted to show people the ‘work of God of Daniel‘ by walking into the lions’ cage to touch them like Daniel did in the bible without getting mauled. Prophet Abodurin’s intention was to recreate the biblical story of a young man named Daniel who out of envy was thrown to some lions that turned out to have been mysteriously tamed. The biblical story has it that God sent down some angels to shut the mouths of the lions.
The determined Prophet Daniel Abodurin walked up to some staff of the zoo and pleaded to gain entry into the lions’ cage. No one in his or her right senses will give ears to this kind of plea, so the prophet was turned down. But after much disturbance and persuasion, the prophet’s insane wish was granted.

Another account has it that Prophet Abodurin sneaked into the lions’ cage. Sneaking or not, he eventually found his way into the cage. Many people present at the scene could not believe what their eyes saw, and realizing it was not a dream, they prepared their mind for the worst result. 
Prophet Daniel Abodurin was clothed in a red robe and under his armpit was a big bible. As he entered the cage, he began reciting bible verses and speaking in tongues and calling unto the ‘God of Daniel’ to perform wonders.

It was gathered that he was shouting jah, jah, jah which was believed to be a shortened form of Jehovah. At first, the lions retreated to a corner of their cage. Unknown to the to-be African version of Daniel, retreating is the first thing lions do when they see something unusual in their territory and later they get rid of it.
 Prophet Abodurin thought his faith was really working. He moved nearer to the lions and kept chanting bible verses, then in a flash, the lions pounced on the bemused, confused and horrified prophet. 

A cold stream of shock ran down the spines of the terrified onlookers.
Prophet Daniel Abodurin battled for his life but his strength was no match for that of the hefty lions, and in a moment, he was torn into pieces and devoured. His bloody red robe laid in shreds and his bible which he had flung away at the beginning of the attack was covered in dust. Stampede ensued in the zoo as people took to their heels after seeing such a horrible sight they would never forget in their lives.
The prophet’s remains were collected and later buried. That was how Prophet Daniel Abodurin met his end.

  3. It’s written thou shall not tempt the Lord your God. There is a huge gulf between seeking to see God’s name glorified and pursuing self-aggrandizement

  10. I remember when it was rumoured that the world would come to an end in the early 90s. People were selling the black-and-white TVs, goats, chickens, etc.

    The day finally came and the weather sef didn't help matters. It was as if the world would actually end. My mum locked us in the room and told us all to pray. We prayed and spoke in tongues. My siblings and I kept the peace for the whole day. Omoh, the next day, we went back to fighting and teasing each other.

    I cant believe we actually fell for that.

    2. It's written in 1 Thessalonians 5:2 that Jesus will come like a thief in the night. No one knows the day or time. Live a life devoid of sin so you can make heaven okay???

  12. This is what I dislike about some Christians, taking God for an atm or vending machine, pray and receive mentality, or in this case trying to portray God as some circus show segment or performer to call upon at will. What a disgusting and vile mindset to take of the Creator of the universe. Unless he was mentally ill, there was no excuse for this foolishness.
