Ayoakinkahunsi: Funny die
What is their gods doing in a christian house?
May God deliver the pastor and his family

rafhell:

mr pagan, you speak like a stupid pagan

PAGAN 9JA:
^^^^^^^^^He doesnt need to be a serpentologist.. He is a native of that area and is aware of what kind of serpent is. and btw use your brain. how do you think the entire village found out that he killed a snake in his home

It is clear that he did it to instigate the Pagans of the area and to try to score a religious point.

cecegorz: Hahahahahha!
Any god that cannot protect himself must die! (pun intended)
Africans and their primitive beliefs. The villagers should let the godamn dead god fight for itself or else perish forever.

livingstoneony: are you this stipid?

sushieater: boo hoo!, sad story.. nawa o! The only time i've seen my Town mentioned on nairaland, too bad that the news isn't a good one.
Pastor nawa for you o! When you could've easily screamed ''EKE NEKWA ONYE UKA!!'' since you're a pastor and the python would leave your house immediately..Well, expect invasion of pythons in your home sooner than the next minute, even anacondas too

Dejijossy:

you don't need to fight for their god. Let their god fight for himself.

o'boy:
am sure you are a lost jesus worshipping soul,your jesus that could'nt even save himself yet you all blindly worship him

ifyalways: Over zealous religious fanatics.I hope they roast his arse.
How would he and his fold react if his bible is pissed on?
Did Jesus convert anyone by shitting on his/her sacred stuff?v

mallorca: Pastor don kill harmless Eke Idemili
Enternal rest grant unto you Eke Idemili and let pepertual light shine upon you

vascey:

LMAO... Dude you are crazy.

Funny and sensitive thread.
I am a christian and also from Anambra.
Indeed we don't kill pythons.
It has been an age long tradition.
At the worst you take it out of your home with a stick.

On the other hand, it's easy to lose it when you see the snake with your kids.
I think the man's actions could be understandable assuming he's telling the truth.

A bill of 54k is also reasonable from the community.
In my place, you will carry out a proper funeral with all the funeral rights.
That will definitely trump 54k.
They should just settle the matter so that everyone will go their way.

Lessons-
1. Whatever you preach, respect the law of the land.
That a chicken or goat wanders into your compound or farm, and eats your yam, does not mean that you should kill it.
Neither should you burn a koran (or bible) just because you have no firewood to cook (even though you bought it with your money).

2. Eke (snake) this is the 21st century and people are not happy; you cannot be entering any home you want anymore. So you have to chill.

Next time I see Nnam Ochie, I will ask about the origin of this tradition.
Anyone who knows in the house should please enlighten me.

I tire sef o, the eke needs to behave himself...haba!!

Mr.Resource:

Nnobi precisely!.its a taboo to kill a Snake.I guess old things have passed away.

prologue:
But he rose again. Hallelujah. That is our confidence. Let the snake rise...
That is the only name that all names bow to. Have u seen any idemili person call on the snake in times of danger? Don't you see its a shortage to be community be eating people eggs n chicken? Its only usefulness is in reduction of household rats... Worshiping a snake is illuminating enough. That is so insightful. U worship a snake... A snake... A snake... Not even d one dt can feast on a small goat, but d one dt choke on a boiled egg. Why not worship a cat or dog, at least, it has braincells not to go n sleep on people's bed.

plezant:

i m frm nnobi too. We dnt kill eke idemil

PAGAN 9JA:



HEY SHUT UP! WE ARE TRUE NIGERIANS! WE DONT BELIEVE IN YOUR DEAD ISRAELI FOREIGN GOD!

EVERYONE INCLUDING THAT PASTOR KNOWS THAT IDEMILLI PYTHONS [size=16pt]NEVER[/size] HARM KIDS.

If we found a python, we wouldpick it up and put it in a bush.


GO WORSHIP YOUR DEAD GOD JESUS! OUR GODS ARE ALIVE IN ITS CREATIONS AS THIS PYTHON OR IN YOU AND ME!

Your jesus is worse than a dog. MUMU

Dr. Tee:
AWKA —  MEMBERS of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, and Umuoji community in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State are on each other’s throat, following the killing of a snake in the community by the Overseer of the Mercy Throne Assembly, Umuoji, Rev Jude Chubueze.

To the community, Chibueze had committed a sacrilege, adding that the killing of snake in the area is a taboo.

The matter is already before the Anambra State Police command which is trying to mediate between the two parties to avoid a breakdown of law and order.

Members of PFN under the aegis of Umuoji Gospel Ministries Fellowship led by Pastor Celestine Ekpunobi, yesterday, described the tradition that forbids the killing of snake as barbaric, adding that such law should only concern the pagans.

Already, the church where the overseer is the pastor had been sealed with palm fronts by the people of the community.

Narrating his version of the incident, Rev Chibueze said a snake stormed his house at night when members of his family were already sleeping. He said the snake was lying where his children were sleeping and when the children started shouting, he ran out with his wife to see what was happening.

He said: “When I got to their room, I saw a big snake lying with them and I had to kill it and threw it into the nearby bush. The following day, some community members marched to my house and accused me of killing their god. They beat me up mercilessly.

“They wrote a list of items amounting to N54,890 which they said I should buy to appease their god.  Being a Christian, I told them that it is against my faith and more over, I killed a snake and not a human being.”

However, Chief Paul Edekobi, one of the community leaders said instead of the pastor doing what he earlier agreed to do with the community by providing the items, he dragged them to Ogidi Police Station where six of the community leaders were arrested.

According to him, what he did was capable of wiping out his entire family if sacrifices were not made to appease the gods.

“We do not want to destroy his property and that is why we used the palm fronts to tie round the church to stop him from worshipping there for now,” Edekobi said.

But the pastor said: “What they are talking about is not tradition; they see the killing of a snake as a taboo in their world of idol worshipping and not same in Christian faith

“If they do not desist from this act, our next port of call will be the court for the enforcement of our fundamental human rights.”

PAGAN 9JA:


WHERE DID HE RISE? HAVE YOU SEEN HIM RISE ABI?!

PAGAN 9JA:


how can a SPiritual force fight. We the upholders of the faith, it is upto us to defend our Gods.

PAGAN 9JA:
i hope they kill him. if he did such a thing in my neighbourhood, we would have roasted his on a spit. ugly b.astard what did the harmless poisonless snake do to him. why does he have to offend our religion?


Also how did the other villagers find out that he killed the snake Either the Gods informed the other villagers that an innocent animal was murdered, or the idi.ot of a pastor went around boasting to the entire village that he murdered the representative of the Serpent spirit, in order to instigate the Pagans of the village.

Idemilli pythons are FAMOUS to be harmless. that snake might have just come to play with the kids. little did the poor creature know that it is entering the house of a savage cruel madman, unlike the other kind neighbours who let it in.

Let us not forget that this savage man is an indigene of the area and that e knows these snakes are harmless to kids. Probably before he converted to man-worship, he too used to play with Eke snakes as a child.

I hope he faces the wrath of the forest spirits.


[size=16pt]HAS ANYONE WONDERED WHY IS IT THAT ONLY A "CHRISTIAN PASTOR" IS FOUND KILLING OF SNAKES?!!! BECAUSE HE JUST WANTS TO PROVOKE AND INSULT THE INDIGNES AND THEIR CULTURAL BELIEFS AND RELIGION, JUST LIKE HIS COLONIAL MASTERS![/size]


be good unto animals and they will be good unto you. .

i m frm nnobi too. We dnt kill eke idemil

vascey:

Dudeeeee!! I thought the unbelievers were meant to be free spirits, taking thing easy and showing good sense.
Why are you so angry? Insulting Jesus and all? Just calm down abeg. If you don't like Jesus, that's cool.
But many folks here believe in Jesus, so insulting Him doesn't make any sense.
If you insult a man's belief, you insult the man. Take is easy bro. This life is not that difficult.

With all this bitterness on Nairaland, I wonder how people here actually lead their lives. SMH
