UPDATE: Snake In My Roof by xavuv: 8:53pm On May 14, 2023
Here is an update about the snake that took abode in my roof. Here is the link to the first thread i created about it in 2019.

https://www.nairaland.com/5186645/snake-roof

UPDATE
•••••••••

I will try to be detailed as much as possible. You might draw one or two lessons from it, or you can simply discard it altogether.

___
After a heavy fumigation in 2019, my family and i left the house for a few days. Upon returning, i thought there is no way in hell that the reptile up there in my roof would survive this fumigation.

Since returning home, we live easy and slept peacefully without any funny sound or movement in the roof, so we thought the snake is probably dead or something.

Even up to 3 months after the fumigation i still throw away dead lizards in my compound, meaning that the fumigation was very strong. And still no sound in my roof, nothing.

A little while later and towards ending of 2019 and through out 2020, lo and behold the snake is still living and thriving up there. Again we began hearing the sound of it's movement, slithering movement/sound. One can tell that it's big snake just hearing how it slithers around with joy.

Snake is Mostly active at night. During daytime it usually stays in a certain location inside roof, and changes location during night time. Just as if it has room and parlour up there.

The reality of the situation became registered in our minds. Real fear began setting in.

I threw powdered garlic, several hard boiled eggs inside the ceiling, and this certain leaf that repels snake (i have forgotten its name), all inside the ceiling but it seems none worked.

Reasons for the fear:

1. Constant nightmares experienced by myself and my wife.

2. Other private things i can't mention here.

Regarding the constant nightmares, i contacted a man here on nairaland, Ebankole, he has his own website now. I told him some of these dreams which he interpreted saying there is a stranger in our home ( didn't even mention about the snake to him), he even told me some other things regarding my family (wife, kids and i) which i never mentioned to him and all he said checked out correct!.

He's true seer.

Note that i have never met him in person, we only communicate on nairaland but mostly through his website.

That was when i started serious praying & fasting as advised by Ebankole. A xtian family here anyway but i l rarely go to church except on Dec 31st, but my wife goes every Sundays and other days.


Talking to fellow landlords.


Towards mid 2021, its beginning to dawn on me that i have a Very serious issue at hand. I approached a fellow landlord just opposite my home. He's a very elderly man. I told him about what i have been grappling with. He queried why i kept quite for long. Well, im a very quite person in our community. I mind my business.

We went to see an Islamic cleric in a nearby town. After briefing and debriefing, this is what the cleric told me verbatim: you have been sleeping and waking up with dark unseen entities/demons.

Eventually he said he and other clerics would have to come to my house to pray and recite Quranic verses and that the snake and other dark entities would leave thereafter.

I didn't go back.

Soon after, I approached my CDA chairman on a Saturday after a landlord's meeting, i told him about the guest in my roof. He was surprised that how could it be.

He came to my home, inspected and saw that truly that snake can't get down into the house because of the POP ceiling everywhere, but what's the snake eating all these while?

He also noted the following:

1. that could the snake be leaving the roof to go hunt for food outside and return inside the roof when ever it so wishes. And that if this so then its not natural.

2. that Is there a way lizards or rats gain entrance into the roof, thereby making themselves easy snacks for the snake? But this is most unlikely because i have since blocked all tiny crevices that tiny lizards can use to gain entrance into the roof, and i showed it to him.

Oh i almost forgot, he advised that i cut a small part of the outside ceilng, that maybe the snake can have a easy way out. I used PVC for outside ceiling, so i removed a small plastic from the PVC ceiling outside.

Eventually, he promised to get intouch with a snake charmer, maybe they can help call the snake out from the roof. I called our chairman again a few times to ask about the Charmer he said he's Gonna bring to my home but he kept posting me.

My journey into the CCC ( Celestial church)

Will continue tomorrow. Feeling sleepy now.

Stop jumping up and down and here and there in the name of fighting a spiritual Force. You stand the risk of adding another force to the one you have already.

Go to THE LORD'S CHOSEN! No matter The Kingdom and force residing ontop your matter, they will by themself give you chance or they kiss the earth good bye.

Na wa o...this same issue is now becoming spiritual. You didnt say anyone eventually went up onto your ceiling to actually inspect what was going on there.

Better get your family out and get people into your ceiling to see what's going on. Also invest in perimeter cameras to atleast see how it comes and go. It is well with you and yours o.

You've tried living like this for over 4 years fa! I for don pack comot tey tey. What you should have done since that 2019 is to seek the services of a professional snake catcher. They exist and work in snake farms like the one owned by former COAS Burutai. There should be a manhole in your ceiling where one can open and gain access to the inside the roof to do electrical or carpentry work. The snake catcher will go into the manhole and use his skills and tools to catch the snake or snakes. You've really tried sha

It has to be taboo for you to kill a snake. If it is then you shouldn't be fearful of you... your family and snake living under the same roof.

Nigerians Sha. All these up and down because of 1 snake? It's ok to not like snakes, so if you notice one and are scared of removing it, why not make enquiries around for a snake catcher to simply come and remove the snake? Even all these hausa men around can offer to do it at no cost other than taking the dead snake to eat. But you had to attach all manner of spiritual connotation to a simple snake problem and now are dipping your hands into all sorts. Just smh
