'THE SNAKE CAN'T GIVE BIRTH TO SOMETHING SHORT'

 A teacher was teaching some students 'history' in a school abroad. She asked the students to say some of the histories of their countries that cannot be forgotten.
One of the students has this to say.

STUDENT: My country's good histories can't be completed without the mention of the dreadful slave trade.

TEACHER: No, that is not a good history.

STUDENT: Alright, my country's good histories can't be completed without the mention of the civil war which consumed about two million innocent souls.

TEACHER: No, that is not a good history.

STUDENT: Alright, my country's good histories can't be completed without mentioning our leaders who steal public money and run down here to hide.

TEACHER: No, that is not a good history.

STUDENT: Alright, my country's good histories can't be completed without kidnapping and money rituals been mentioned.

TEACHER: No, that is not a good history.

STUDENT: Alright, my country's good histories can't be completed without mentioning the baby factory cartel. This is a process whereby men are paid to sleep with young ladies in order to impregnate them. 
When they finally give birth, the babies are sold just like chickens in a poultry farm.

TEACHER: No, that is not a good history.

STUDENT: Alright, my country's good histories can't be completed without the cases of examinations and electoral malpractices.

TEACHER: No, that is not a good history.

STUDENT: Alright, my country's good histories can't be completed without mentioning the killer herdsmen, kidnapping of students for wives, bribery, extortion and corruption in high places.

TEACHER: No, that is not a good history too.
But come to think of it, what country on earth could that be?!

STUDENT: I can't tell you its name. From all the happenings in it, we don't need a soothsayer to tell us its name.
