o'boy:Hahahahahha! Dude it was your god that was butchered and there is nothing you can do about it. Accept my condolences though. I wish the Pastor used it for a sweet barbecue. Any god that needs a man to protect it must die a terrible death! (pun intended) 1 Like |

See the way you A̶̲̥̅̊rε̲̣ exposing your ignorance on social media. Demons A̶̲̥̅̊rε̲̣ spirits likewise satan. Spirits don't die ♍Ɣ dear. chrisxxx: I can only support the pastor's action on the assumption that he did not know that killing such snake was a taboo. And the proximity of the snake to his children was a health and safety threat. If that had been done deliberately he has gone contrary to his Bible's and The Bible's teachings. |

It looks like most Igboland has this stupid custom about pythons being sacred They have it in mine too My great uncle was a hunter and sometimes caught pythons in his trap and ate them And he lived to a ripe old age and passed away peacefully If a python entered my father's or grandfather's compound,it is sure to get a double barrel gun on it's head and thrown into the bushes. We are a Christian family and don't subscribe to any deities or gods and idols and have no ties to traditional beliefs They should cage their gods or ask them to stay in the bushes where they belong The moment they wander into the homes of non worshippers,they had better have disappearing powers or else 3 Likes |

Coldfeet: I want to give that Rev a big hug!!! deity my ass! Let them call out dia own gods and let's see who is supreme! Yes I agree its dia tradition but that snake should have known better not to crawl into a Christians home where Christ is Lord and Master! Am sure now other snakes will stay off! That village might still be doing human sacrifice they should be checked nansenze! To say that I'm shocked Ifyalways wrote that will be understatement of the millenium! Smh at comments here. In fact I'm too shocked to comment *runs from thread 1 Like |

Reading through most your comments, I get the feeling that most NLs will prefer the thread title to be 'python kills whole family in Anambra'. A snake is a wild animal, maybe some of you believe it won't hurt you, but others may not subscribe to that belief. When such 'unbelievers' encounter your god, they may not pay him homage as you wld cos to them, it's a dangerous animal. 2 Likes |

Knowing how fierce the community is on this,he should have buried the serpent at the back of his house or carried it together with the garbage in his household and thrown it deep into the bushes or buried it there. |

I hate silly coincidences...shoo? Watched the Iron Lady, the online media started talking on Margaret Thatcher and her decisions on the falklands and then she died. Re-read 'Arrow of God' by Chinua Achebe yesterday where Ezeulu's son in his struggle between his tradition and his 'christian' conversion put the idemili python in a box seeking to kill it, commiting sacrilege. The strange thing was that the occupants of the house knew that there were two pythons living in the roof of the kitchen... Now, I am reading of this Idemili python sacrilege... The question to ponder on is 'this snake doesn't bite or harm anyone and this has been on-going for generations, why not?' I know the pythons found in Akwa Ibom and Cross River are killed and I know those ones will harm you but why not the Idemili Python, what makes it different apart from the theory that it is a royal snake? I seek to know and not be insulted |
Re: PFN, Anambra Community Bicker Over Killing Of Snake by Enoquin(f): 8:08pm On May 07, 2013 |
Amusaopeyemi: Thought this killing of idemili's scared python was just a joke in Chinua Achebe's arrow of God and things fall apart. No fiction novel is truly fictitious. You learn about a person's culture from a book which has to stay as true as possible. Characters can be fictitious but the character's actions will try to stay true...in essences, you weave a non fiction and fiction to make a story...the scale depends on the genre you have decided on... |

Lilimax: I come from Anambra state and in Anambra state, they don't kill PYTHON to be precise.Dont bring the whole of anambra into this, it is not generally. I am from anambra, if i was the pastor, i will do the same thing. Just like in awka where monkeys are not killed, but they cause a lot of trouble. I know some estates where the monkeys are shot at and nothing happens. So quit that wrong mentality. |

Gboliwe: The Rev. acted on impulse. He is actually a strong man to have been able to kill a snake by himself. I mean, compared to me, I would have screamed to high heavens.As you can see, the god has no powers thats why they are fighting for it. Just like Elijah and the prophets of baal. 1 Like |
