Your intonation of óká is wrong. It should be oká (re mi).

You shall be probably be summoned in the night hours to defend yourself among the terrestrial forces in charge of your axis.

You will have a strong argument if it was an immediate threat to your life. You can hire a good spiritualist to defend you tonight. I can negotiate on your behalf if the price is right.

That's a Puff Adder. You're so Lucky it didn't strike you. Please give us more info about the snake. Did it attack you, any warning sound, or did it just wait for you to kill it.. Give us clue on how to face a snake when running away isn't possible.

Seconded. Wish I had the courage though. I might develop wings oh. Anything to carry me vooom!

Woke up early in the morning, stepped outside the gate and realised there's this "rod" on the ground with a nice pattern or design.
I got closer and discovered it was a snake. I took a closer look and to my greatest surprised it was a VIPER..

damn!! I had to do the needful at that time by smashing the head, because you never know who might mistakenly step on its tail especially as it almost has the same colour as the ground.

It was too big to ignore (as a viper).
Take a look at the length compared to the largest size of bathroom slippers. (in the pix)

Snakes can be very deceptive. Be very careful where u go or step especially dead leaves..

VIPER
IBO :-ajuala
HAUSA:- gobe De nisa

What is it called in Yoruba or your local dialect??


modified:- those asking if I stay in the bush or desert.. To answer your question: NO.
in IGBO(My dialect) we call it ABUALA. One of the Most poisinious. It normally circle around to bite its teeth 7 times b4 it attacks a prey, it dnt just bite straight away, its nt circled that's why he was able to kill it. Its powerless ones it straightens, But extremely dangerious ones it circles itself.

Did you offend somebody in the snake cult grin? Anyway, puff adders aren't loners, there's likely a nest close by and I certainly hope it's not in your house. It's usually violent and its venom packs a punch. Stay sharp!

That snake is not yet dead

It's dead when it turns it's belly up. Be more careful when you kill a snake and you thought it's dead
Re: Found This In Front Of My House. What Is It Called In Your Local Dialect?? by docadams: 9:45am On May 27, 2015
This looks more like a boa, a non poisonous snake, slow in movement, gentle like Jona, but sweet like chicken.

I can understand this! The only time I might face a snake absent thought. No mercy shown, no quota given is when it stands between me and my loved ones.

How many snakes shall I kill? A hundred, a thousand? I will kill them all!

Oka is Cobra...

This is a puff adder, it's called "MonaMona". I guess the name was given due to its mesmerizing skin pattern.
Cobra is shebe.

is like am still living inside my kid mind, cause what make me resent of snakes is this indisan film titled NAJIN, when some group of 5 guys killed a male snake, and the snake captured those guys pics on his eyes, them later when his female snake saw his make snake has been killed, the she look inside his eyes and see all the guys who killed her man, so she began hunting to kill them all, since then anywhere i see that they are killing any snake i always make sure i hide my face, inorder not for the snake to capture my face, its kinda funny thou.
