A Catholic priest was chased out in my home town in njaba, imo in the 90's for killing such python for eating his eggs in the poultry . he even had the guts to come to church boasting about it. My uncle saved the clergy ''s butt by inviting police to rescue him as masquerades and angry youths were waiting outside the church to flog him mercilessly.

I saw it too but attributing its visits and un-aggressive nature to the supernatural is what is superstition.

Pythons inhabit places that are cool and where its prey is abundant. They only visit to stalk house rats and farm rodents.

Pythons are non-venomous and humans are not part of its diet.

That type of Python is the smaller specie and not the bigger constrictor. (ordinary Eke and not Eke Ogba)

yea you are right dear,that town is near my hometown and we were told frm childhood never to kill or harm snakes even in the city but guess what i have killed one in the city.
I won't take chances with my life hoping on the gods to save me when i dnt know them and they dont know me.i didn't let my people know about it but anyday i see a snake blocking my road i squash and maim i dnt take chances
i still remember how snakes used to enter someone's car in the indian movie SUNITA.

GreatEngineer:
Yeah, its true, I serve in Anambra state, Umunya. You don't kill pyton there, but I kill about four before I finished serves, two of them came very close to my window in the night so I have to do the needful.

Though people cautioned me then but I told them it's not my religion so nothing will happened to me.

So many thing happen in so many places.

softysparky:

Oh I get you now.

hensben:
You are very correct my brother..smh for these people...

refreshrate:
Fantastic! Technically Anambra is off my list of places to ever visit.
me and snake na like night & day, we no dey see each other.

hensben:
So practically, anambra can also be refer to as snake kingdom.

noskeybaba:


Tell me more lies bros. If someone from Anambra actually saw or knew you killed an Eke, that's the end of your service year. I remember being told in camp to respect people's culture. And going by your grammar, I don't think you will be a "great engr"

hensben:
look your back, there is one snake behind you.

Cuneddy:
op do u knw d difference between snake n python?

Odunharry:
make I start to park my bags

tonychristopher:


NO...

not all anambra do that but majority of anambra do not kill python not snake...i mean python...we are conservationist...we have been like that ages...so refer us as conservationist or naturalist kingdom
