ManTiger:
Can't bite, the snake just fed on a mammal or betterstill amphibian. The snake must have chased its prey to that room or trying to regulate its body temperature with SWR from indoor. Looks like a black cobra though.

free2ryhme: I killd one under my bed in gubio borno state 07/ 08 service year. In one day i killd 2 snakes @ different locations try to hide in the 2 corper lodges in gubio

vifald101: I was sleeping on my bed in the male block one when some some other corps members in the main hall were shouting and telling me to jump out of the room.. I thought they weren't serious so I didn't respond instantly, when I saw that the shout was becoming more serious, I quickly wore my cloths and jumped out.. Some of the boiz then went inside the room and brought out the snake dead after some minutes.. I was so scared.. I wonder what our country is turning into.. The safety of corps members aren't even guaranteed.. The toilets are messed up.. We live like prisoners and refugees.. God help us.

Mekky2010:

While you are leaving and thanking God, we are coming down to make sure we do it, reason being that you have no idea when u ll need it in the future, then, even this your statement ll be used against you...I was in that camp last Nov before I redeployed to FCT...that I came out without infectious disease was a miracle on its own, but then, I ve gat ma mind made up to serve and get th damn certificate.

adaobi123: the person even touched it with their fingers ! *spits* tufia !!!

COOLDUN:

Teemah Fashion: Saw a snake in my room too while i was serving in Enugu at my PPA, gosh! It wasn't funny. Thank God it was not in the night when i'm asleep all alone. I left my room for over two weeks and slept with the guys in their hostel, even after fumigation, i eventually went back to my room, i was always sleeping with one eye open, at the sound of anything i'm up. I hate snakes with a passion, it scares the hell out of me

Kay-Dee:
Just one snake ?
This is child's play compared to what I witnessed in Edo State camp many years ago.
The camp houses were unfinished buildings in the middle of, and surrounded by thick tall grass bushes; the camp officials decided to burn the bushes days after we arrived and moved in, so the snakes moved from the burning bush into our sleeping area.
It was terrifying and worse than the scene from 'snakes on a plane'; they were everywhere, hanging from the roof struts(there were no ceiling boards), from electric wires, in every corner, in people's buckets, under the mattress. Out of fear, people slept in standing positions at night. - The situation lasted almost the duration of our stay on camp. To crown it all up, there were scorpions too.

Luckily for us we all made it out without a single bite mark, no one suffered a scorpion sting or snake bite.

Chai !! NYSC - Now Your Suffering Continues.

Rukemi291: Ikare Akoko camp.......Simply the worst in the nation.

coogar: this is so horrible!
snake was probably resting after swallowing a small mouse. they should have just taken it out of the room and let it stroll away peacefully. the snake wasn't threatening anyone and i doubt it's even venomous. why kill it?

Okija_juju: Wow!

This is surprising especially as [size=18pt]I gathered that the NYSC camps are fumigated heavily prior to corpers coming in...[/size]

This would have been sure death if it ad bitten anybody.

Okija_juju:

My dear, the only non venomous snakes are the constrictors like pythons, corn snakes and anacondas. This snake is highly venomous... Thank heavens no one got bitten.

Also, killing it is no biggie as this specie of snake abounds all over Nigeria.

ItsModella: Oh God!! that's so scary...what if it had crawled onto your body? ewwwww

ifyalways: Scary.
@OP,get lime/lemon and garlic and place at strategic places in your room,it keeps 'em crawling ninjas at bay.

groovie:

y u dey spit na? snakes are not slimy rather they have the hard texture of ur nails.
so when next u see one, give it a nice pat on the back.

Yoruba_Omoge:

ROTFLMAO!!

Fumigated with what?

Pepper spray?

Okija_juju: Wow!

donigspain: Over 3 snakes were killed in the female hostel (more like prison/cell) during NYSC 2012 Batch C orientation camp in Benue state. It's quite pathetic.
