RE: The Birmingham Males - Duco Ndona - 01-26-2023
Thats probably not the most optimistic of example. HB died within months when he ended up in similar circumstances as a lone wounded nomad.
Its a pity that Tinyo died when he did. If he was there with Nhenha. It would have been indeed similar to the HB and Ginger duo.
Add Nym to that and the situation would have been a lot different today.
RE: The Birmingham Males - afortich - 01-26-2023
I believe that if Nhenha recovers in part or fully, Nhenha should try to join with Skorro Jr., so NYM could learn from them and be ready to stay with Skorro Jr. when Nhenha is finally gone.
RE: The Birmingham Males - Mapokser - 01-26-2023
If his mobility is as good as it looks ( he traveled a fair distance ) things look good for him all things considered.
His injuries are not fatal, he ain't dying from them. He could starve but seeing how he didn't immediately after the second attack, reached Dulini and managed to eat the buffalo, his only problem is meeting PCM again. If he survived until now he can scavenge a while more, in better condition now and recover. And he did all of that without NK. They can still reunite and a good big meal would seal the deal regarding his recovery.
Then we'll see what he does. NK insists on visiting Ximhungwes but he wasn't the one who took the brunt of the fight. Having being badly beaten Nhenha may accept his defeat and leave the West which I hope happens, but he might very well go back to his previous mindset, we'll see.
RE: The Birmingham Males - Duco Ndona - 01-26-2023
Indeed. If he stays its only a matter of time before he gets killed.
He and Nym are, provided Nhenha makes a complete recovery, still a very capable coalition on paper. They can still find success elsewhere if they get their act in order.
RE: The Birmingham Males - Tr1x24 - 01-26-2023
Even if Nhenha survives this (regardless with NK male or no), at 12 yrs of age, with that kind of leg injury, which would take months to a year to heal up (maybe never fully), its highly unlikely he will ever have strenght, ability and confidence again to try to conquer and fight for any territory/pride again, regardless if its in western sector or somewhere else, as competition in Sabi Sands is only getting stronger. He will prob spend rest of his days as like this, just trying to survive from day to day as long as he can.

I don't think either that Nhenha will try to challenge anything.
NYM and Skorro Jr. are the one with still a future. Therefore, with the knowledge of Nhenha and braveness of Skorro Jr., NYM may reset himself to a coalition mode, regardless they stay in western sector or not.
Anyways this is just my personal thinking and opinion.
RE: The Birmingham Males - BigLion39 - 01-26-2023
IMHO, Nk Male is more versed as alone male leading a nomad life. He isn't the best coalition partner and thats not me putting him down. I think he is great at not just surviving alone but can thrive alone similar to Jesse in the Mara. Seems bad things happen when he partners up. Nhena should stick with Jr and he might get lucky with another year or 2 healthy if he recovers.
RE: The Birmingham Males - 1999gc8 - 01-26-2023
Is there any recent footage of Nhena walking besides the first video? It would be good to see if there's been any improvement in the limp.

He’s he’s had very very bad luck with Partners Mhangeni Male Big Boy, Styx Male and not Nhenha 2 of 3 passed away i still think he should look to try and join the kambula boys while they’re still nomadic and form a coalition of 5

Here is the footage of him walking to a carcass :
His limp is bad, but his overall condition is not as bad as it was pointed out at first, he still has some strenght.
Still, with that kind of bad leg injury, his surviving and recovering alone is very questionable.

Yes, This is the private video I couldn’t share….owner has now released publicly
RE: The Birmingham Males - Duco Ndona - 01-26-2023
That limp doesnt seem to have improved at all in the past month.
I dont think any coalition is going to happen anytime soon. With that limp he just cannot keep up.
His condition is now entirely dependent on how much he can scavenge.

Glad Nhenha is behaving around Ottawa girls and he’s still got his fire! Where’s Tumbela? Sleeping?
He’s being smart by not pushing the aggression.
RE: The Birmingham Males - Mapokser - 01-26-2023
The limp is still bad but IMO the video shows he definitely ain't dying. The photo seemed to suggest he lost much more muscle mass but the vid shows him in quite good shape, much better than one could imagine while he was missing.
He is probably at his best now since before the fight and if he survived way worse conditions, he'll survive now.
