You just came to display your ignorance

Sir please, So u mean you don't know you belong to your father's town by descent. If your mum is from Togo and your dad is from Nigeria yet u were born in Sierra Leone.
That means you are a Nigerian by descent and a Sierra leonean by birth. But there's no where on earth where you are allowed to claim your mother's place of descent sir.

Note: this is a friendly explanation sir. Ayam not here to fight cos it seems everyone on nairaland gets angry these days sad sad cry cry

wrong, in Ghana the children belong to the descent of their Mum not Dad.

I only knew it as an Idemili thing. We don't kill pythons around that area. We've caught a few in our compound in the village and used long sticks to relocate them to the bush. It's an easy injunction to follow because the pythons are not particularly harmful. But if I saw a venomous snake whose venom could kill me, no mad tradition would ever stop me from squashing its head.

you are from oraukwu sire I guess?

I'm from abatate in idemmili north and attest to this. We don't kill a python. When you see one you offer kola and say it should go that Christians (ndi uka) are around and it will quietly leave. Most of the time it comes to pay its homepage to a new born baby.

Kola Kwa!!! Does python eat kola nut or different form of kola?

Big time lie just to get Traffic. This is the kind of story that Lai Mohammed used to formulate. I am an indigene of Enugwu Ukwu, this does not b happen now in Enugwu Ukwu. May be it was formerly practice.

Actually almost the whole of Idemili; Obosi, Alor, Ogidi, Ojoto, Uke, Ideani, Nnokwa, Awka etiti etc forbids harm upon any python.

I am from Orsumoghu in Ihiala Anambra state, we too don't kill Python. During one Christmas festival like that, my cousin from Lagos killed a Python and nobody knew. After travelling he kept on having troubling dreams about the Python he killed and physical attacks when he wakes up. The bad dreams and attackes stopped when he confided in his parents, they travelled and buried an empty casket cooked and merried the same way we bury humans.

In my Mums Village "Mbosi" they don't kill bush meat, particularly giant rat (Ewi). The day we caught one in our compound my Mum warned us not to cook it with her pot or even eat it. But my sisters prepared it using our pot, ignotingbour mothers warning (we called it fetish and none sense). After consuming it nothing happened to we the male but my sisters mouth were disfigured and their tongue was like that of someone that drank hot water. Few days later it affected my mum after using that same pot to prepare another dish.

I don't know what to believe anymore, but our old tradition should be respected.
Igbo Mma Mma.
