Fmartin:
In Tiv land, there is a particular snake that it's not killed. The snake is green in color

Same with my village in Enugu State

That simply means Lagocians can't live in Machina... We don't like snakes, alive or dead

They should choose specie well o. Nor go mess with diamondback rattle snake, moons linger, gaboon viper, malin crate or king cobra. Them go cold pass ice

More pictures and video could have proven your point well!

But this your story may be one of the traditional folk tells our grandfather normally tell us then

Some things are mysterious in this world.

Someone had once told me that the easiest way to make it to FP is by posting on topics that is related to snake.He said assuredly that lala loves snake's topic alot.At first I doubted it but now it has become obvious to me and i now Concur to what he said.

The day I visited this town I was so surprised that human being are living in such remote village . From Damaturu to Nguru, I was told that vehicles do not ply the town except Jeep( the military type) reason is because the road is not tarred and it was sandy all tru to Machina. The Jeep do ply the road every three days. On getting there some corpers were just posted there and they were lamenting why NYSC will post them to such village. What surprised me most was that I met one Yoruba guy from Ogbomoso that has been residing there for almost 5years namedWale. He told me that Niger is 30min away from Machina. ...Though I did not se snake ooo.

LoydJ:

Market is on Sundays.

Only one church (COCIN) was permitted to run services. Don't know if things have changed.

The Emir is highly educated and friendly, can't forget in a hurry how He hosted us to a sumptuous dinner wen we were about rounding up service. We ate in trays with bare hands.

Niger is some 30minutes away. Some parts of the community such as the hills, and lush grasslands instill awe. Well, the weather is same as in other parts of the north, and so are the people.

Toooor.....i've stored the name of this village in my head. Cant have anything to do with such villages

lafiagi007:

The prophet Muhammad S.A.W advised against killing of snakes. In one of the narrations, he once advised that if one of us should see a snake in our room, we should tell it to leave orally and in three different occasions, if it refuses to leave, then you pray and kill it.

Thanks a lot. I appreciate I never knew this.

tamdun:

I left after 2011 election, everyone of us that went to gowon House abuja were given redeployment letter (about 20 copers lost their life because of that election)

Glad you made it out that place used to be very peaceful but went to the dogs so fast one has to wonder what really went wrong.

They need deliverance...

India in Nigeria

Snake helped their grand father, lalalala of all animal to make friend with, it is the one that God placed a curse on .... people are mad
