This is like the 4th time I am seeing such in Anambra State. Most times, these killers are foreigners and not indigenes. The Anambra people have lived in peace with the Eke (Python) for ages. Just a few months back at Oba junction, I saw a dead python strung up on a stick for sale on the highway and I was wondering if the law against killing of pythons in Anambra STATE had been lifted.

This has got to stop.

that's if its eke idemili wch is harmless, and doesn't come out often. U kill eke idemili u must bury it. Eke ogba is different.

linearity:

In these Ibo communities, where eke idemili is revered, I have not heard that, it once bite or kill a human being even a kid who is a native.

Maybe a stranger, who tried to kill it.

yes eke idemili can neva harm a native bt seeing it can scare the hell out of u--lol.

littlewonders:
The rate at which this pet are brought down is growing sour. Where are the animal research centres? Soon enough it may one day go extinct.

shut up ooo which pet

Iamlordgee:
See as snake long... Abeg who fit tell me the economical importance of snake

same as cow in another place to Chinese especially.

Bujumbura:
Chei who committed this Taboo. The killer of that Eke should be made to bury that Eke.


We dont Kill Eke in Anambra so they should do cleansing

Igbos worship snakes

god loves 9ja woo...c d way python ar on acessation....while d contry dey 4 recession...stomach wey God create na him go giv am food....

It's not really about Lala, one thing I discover on Nairaland so far is that once a thread is titled 'SNAKE' it automaticaly move itself to FP. Maybe, there's a robot in charge of that...

You re a Liar. Tell me the part in Anambra that kills python

Yyeske:
Hmmmm I'm from Awka but understand this custom where I reside, bury that python as a you bury a human.

ok

Eke idemmili......a hunter can not kill this......it's a taboo in idemmili

Baroba:


My brother, the ignorance is what is killing us, the python is actually harmless and non venomous, you will struggle to find anyone killed by a python, if only our people know.. If na puff adder, then that's a different story.. so so sad. Me I don tire, country wey people dey get mind burn another human, killing wildlife na small issue..

I am not Igbo but from my knowledge, I know it's the ball python also known as royal python that is sacred, they don't harm and are very docile also they don't grow big at all , highest they grow is 5 feet which is small for a python. This one in this picture here is a beast, 14 feet !!! this one would comfortably swallow anybody below 5 feet 7 inches.( young adults and children). This one would comfortably strangle an adult. That one is an African rock python not royal python, very very dangerous type of python.

weyab:
From all indication seems its not eke idrmili ( the one no one suppose to kill) but eke ogba ( can be killed) . happening now. Men are pricing it already. Killed by a hunter.
If na eke idemili then igwe Obosi should immediately move in and give an order for the burial by the killer.

I wonder why snake news always makes FP on NL....

this is a rotal python...it is a taboo for this snake to be killed in eastern Nigeria.

I am not soo sure this is Eke Ogba, these guys just committed an atrocity.

Poor cute thing.. This is pure racism. The lives of these animals are in danger







In case you are wondering about the economic importance :it controls rodents and pests
