My God big pass that snake

Hmmm, people and their culture.

From Aguata LGA, Anambra state
This is undiluted truth
They worship the python

They don't worship them. They keep snake as sacred animals, not sacred gods

SoapQueen:


Lies how? I served there and a python came to the camp at Umunya the day we passed out from camp.

Yes ooo, they got lots of phyton in umunya, during my visit I saw a lots of it roaming around the Bush parts harmlessly during the late hours of the night, I almost stepped on it on a particular day. There was a day we mistakenly killed one, the indigenes got so angry and a boy from the local started crying that he's going to report us to their Igwe, fear grip me, we had to console him that it waz a mistake.

youngblaq:
Although not venomous, completely harmless? Not true.

thats a ball python a very docile snake specie, no harm will come to you if you handle with care.

SHINJA:
Rubbish culture..

I stand to be corrected, whichever one, no trouble

Fahdiga:

Then you'll have your evidence.

It's applied to all towns in Anambra State not only idemili North and South

Killing of python in Nembe Local Government, Bayelsa state is also forbidden

Nice meeting you too. I'm from Nkolofia, Umuedeke to be precise.

Coldie:
It’s going to backfire on them sooner or later when all their pets and livestock’s start disappearing or one snake gets too big to the extent that it becomes a problem

It's a culture been practiced for ages, so why talk about backfiring in 2022?

Samfloxin:
The info is true. If you kill Idemili python,the people will hold you responsible and if you do strong head, they will show you vawulence Koro Koro . I am from Anambra too and it is not only in Idemili that killing of python is forbidden. In my own local government,Ihiala, it is forbidden. It may interest you to know also that there are towns in Anambra that kill and eat python,it is Umunze town. It is not a state thing,rather depends on the town

Ahn ahn, see my brother o. Nwanne which side in Ihiala?. Mine is Umuzu village, Mbosi

This is barbaric

Nnaoche! You are right. My mom is from Umuduru Ihite Ihilala and i attended "Technical" Community Secondary Ubahuekwen. Greetings once again

Fahdiga:
Lies

Says who

Aditkd:
My town is Eziowelle in Idemilli North of Anambra state.
Visiting home sometimes this pythons come to our compound.

Born and brought up in Lagos na so I go dey run like fowl only for my parents and the rest of the family to say that the snake is indeed harmless.

And truly it is harmless. People say it came to welcome it's children

Tradition is awesome. At least, with this the snakes will not be an endangered specie.

Nwanem
You have said it all
I am native of Abatete in Idemili north LGA (Anambra state)

gambojimeta:
He said pythons are harmless. Pythons are not harmless. They are wild animals that strangle and swallow their victims.

This particular python don't grow that big to swallow big animals bro, I've seen them so many times. My mom is from Anambra

Really

osemoses1234:
God forbid see wetin

I think say na only me shout God forbid o
I even unconsciously shouted it out

I keep wondering why God created those things

But what if I secretly killed one or mistakenly killed one, how will an indigene know that I've done the abominable thing?

Yes that is correct, I served in Idemili South Ojoto to be precise... The snake visited us once and the indigenes help us communicate to it with the language it understood and it later left. If you're serving in Idemili, be rest assured that the python will visit you before you pass out.

Stop saying what u don't know, before amadioha strike ur preek! Which umunze don't kill fish?

SIMONEKPA7:
It reminds me of the Sam loco character in things fall apart.
He killed the python and paid dearly with his life. Respect tradition

It is Okoli that killed the sacred python which is literally the symbol of the god of water, Okoli himself falls ill and dies which symbolises that the gods were fights their battles themselves
