In the village. I wanted to take a piss and saw this cock head raised in the bush staring rigidly at me. (it was weird because there was no rooster body, only the head). It never moved, I became scared how can a cock be this static? I continued staring while it stared back, it got weird I became scared (thought it was a spirit) and started moving backwards towards the road. Picked a stone and threw in its direction and it finally moved. Lo and behold!! A snake!! A big snake.
I tell you, the head is 100% the head of a cock. Many never believed my story cos I was a teen then. My mother confirmed the existence though. They say its venom kills instantly! I thank God many people have also encountered it.
e plenty for our side oga.
it occupied our unused latrine, it even spits poisonous saliva and yes it has a reddish crown like a cock.
when next we kill am i go upload am here

Let me not mention my current location because of privacy and the project I'm handling.

AMASIRI village in afikipo north around the coppers lodge or the former general hospital, within the area you will hear the clucking sounds at night.

If you reach AMASIRI village, move towards the coppers lodge or probably enter into the compound. You will hear the clucking sound especially by this time till November.

From 9pm you will start hearing those clocking sounds everywhere, and back then I tried to imagine how these sounds are snakes as they claimed.

But the truth is, they don't kill snake in AMASIRI and afikipo north in general, so there are tons of snakes within the coppers lodge because Bush surround the entire lodge.

So you can start from there.

I passed through afikpo 2 years ago. Thanks for this info. I actually am not interested in killing them. More like documenting or studying them,as proofs they exist.

They're Toads and Frogs. Very common in swampy villages. The sounds are quite loud and You won't be able to tell the direction the sounds are coming from.

Poster, that is your answer.

Your area has a swamp close by.

My own experience.

Itobe is a village in Ajaokuta, close to the steel company in Kogi State. If you are coming from Abuja, there are two large tile factories on both sides of the expressway before getting to the Niger bridge.

These two factories are located in a deep thick forest and managed with a heavy hand by the Indian and Chinese expatriates respectively...The labourers are largely Nigerians doing all the hard and daunting job for meagre pay. I was inside the one known as " West African ceramic company"

It's midnight, I and my friend "Ugwuoba" were keeping Vigil as our 22 tyre Heavy duty truck was being loaded with Tiles. A consignment we would be conveying to onitsha, south east Nigeria in the morning.

It was clocking towards 2:00am when a crowing noise penetrated the almost silent night, save only for the sounds of a manned forklift working tirelessly on our truck.

The sound was more like a cocck calling on mother Hen to come have breakfast or possibly to mate.

Either way, I concluded in my mind that it was a cock.

And voiced out to my good friend ugwuoba who instantly laugh out loud, and told me that it wasn't a Cocck but rather a very big snake that has the shape of cocck, with the comb and all that.

I believed him and immediately started to sweat visibly in the cold night... My friend sensing my current mood immediately commenced heavy igbo incantations.

I rushed into the truck and emerged with a bottle of schnapps as we poured libations and called on the spirit of umuagbala, ogwugwu, idemili, and our ancestors to guide us through the night. If we had kola nuts, we would have broken them too for the gods to eat. We also called on the gods guiding River Niger to come too.

I never saw the snake, but I felt its harrowing impact.

Do something about it, set trap. You can provide food snake likes but you'll have to poison the food if you can't go close and kill it. No let that snake dey eat your eggs just like that. Humans are more intelligent than animals. Use your brain bro

They are snakes cobra big and black if you want to find out cook 10 to 16 eggs and put the cooked eggs close to where the sound come from you will see the snake beacuse after swallowing the eggs since the eggs are cooked the eggs will not digest and you will kill the snake for meat

TRULY THOSE BIG COBRAS EXIST.
AND THE SNAKE YOU ARE REFERRING TO AS RATTLESNAKES IS NOT CALLED RATTLESNAKE BUT PUFF ADDER, WHICH IS THE ONE IN AFRICA.
THREE INSTANCES WHERE THE SNAKE THAT MAKES THE ROOSTER SOUND WAS KILLED THAT I PERSONALLY KNOW OF.
LET IT BE KNOWN THAT IT IS A VERY VERY DANGEROUS AND FEARFUL SNAKE EVEN WHEN IT'S DEAD IN A TRAP.
AN IN-LAW OF OURS FROM MY MATERNAL SIDE WENT FOR NIGHT FISHING WHEN IT CAME AFTER HIM, HE WAS A CARPENTER, WHAT SAVED HIM WAS THAT HE NOTICED ITS PRESENCE IN TIME, BECAUSE ONCE YOU'RE CLOSE TO ITS ENVIRONMENT ESPECIALLY IN THE NIGHT, IT MUST COME AFTER YOU. SO HE CLIMBED A FALLEN TREE THAT PART WAS IN THE WATER, SO WHEN THE SNAKE CAME MOVING BESIDE AND RUBBING ITSELF AGAINST THE TREE TO GET ITS PREY, MY IN-LAW, HE STRUCK WITH HIS WELL SHAPEN CUTLASS AND SUCCEEDED IN KILLING IT.
SECONDLY, ONE OF OUR FAMILY FRIENDS TRAP CAUGHT ONE, HE HAD TO RUN AWAY IMMEDIATELY, CALLED A SET OF GUYS BACK TO THE FOREST WHERE IT WAS KILLED.
THE THIRD ONE, MEN, I SAW WHERE IT WAS CAUGHT IN A TRAP, DEAD BUT FEARFUL, BIG LIKE A 4 INCHES PIPE. PLEASE WHEREVER YOU HEAR THAT ROOSTER SOUND, KEEP OFF.
FINALLY, THE PUFF ADDER, ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS SNAKE IN AFRICA. IT DOESN'T HUNT LIKE COBRA OR PYTHON BUT IT'S FOOD WALKS DIRECTLY INTO IT.THIS IS ACHIEVED MY THE MIMICRY SOUND OF CHARACTERISTICALLY CLUCKING. BY DOING THIS IT'S PREY WALKS DIRECTLY INTO IT, WHERE IT IS ALWAYS TOO LATE FOR IT TO ESCAPE. IT HAS A PIN ON ITS HEAD THAT IS VERY POISONOUS, STEPPING ON IT BY HUMAN OR ANIMAL IS DEATH. WHILE IT SLEEPS, IT COILS ROUND AND PLACES ITS HEAD ON TOP.

DON'T DOUBT THE EXISTENCE OF THE ROOSTER HEAD COBRA.

Please guys I need a clarification on this, if someone can help identify the type of animal or the snake that makes a clucking sound at night especially in the midnight.

The sound seems very similar to a rooster or probably a clucking sound.

I heard this sound so much during my service year in ebonyi state precisely in afikpo North few years ago. I thought it was a rooster but they said it was a matured male snake or a cobra.

Few weeks ago, I went for a big project in a remote area, lo and behold in that area that same sound was so much and it looks like as if there was 3000 roosters clucking in the midnight.

Seriously I'm very worried if they are indeed snakes/cobra or maybe a wild roosters in a densed bush.

All of this would be crazy enough, but the Crowing crested cobra is supposedly in possession of a number of additional remarkable traits. It's apparently very large – something like six metres long – and males supposedly make a loud crowing noise, like a rooster, while females make a chicken-like clucking.

don't you find it bizarre that there is no real photo of this snake? If it actually exists then there should be a real photo of it and not these computer generated drawings.
