I am from idemili LG which comprises towns where the python is the recognized totem. I do not condone the practise or support it but I'd like to correct some misconceptions.

1. Not all snakes are revered in Idemili. Only the python (eke) is.
2. The python is the people's totem and not a god. It is not worshipped but revered and believed to be a protector/guardian.
3. The snakes come and go freely like the OP observed, even in my own village/family home, and I believe this largely because pythons are non venomous snakes and secondly, they have come to exist peacefully over so many years with people of the area so neither the python nor the people regard each other as a threat.

jnrbayano:
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)

Lilimax:
I'm sure you mean Agu-Ukwu NRI.
It is my village as well. We have a lot of pythons in Nri; very harmless. It usually visit the indigene of the town coming home for the first. Pythons are not killed in Nri but if you mistakenly kills it, it must be buried like a human being in a coffin using white cloth.

United can only bid for him wen he was being criticised by Madrid fans cos he was already seen as a flop, which yeye epl was he ripping apart, abeg, make I hear word.
How is Bale a better player than Di Maria, No team can pay 100m for Bale, never in this life again, he's still a young player buh Madrid is making him look worthless.
Hazard commands more value than him now, Fans criticism, Madrid team, Ronaldo nd injury are affecting his career, while Hazard on the other hand is getting better, cool-headed, being worshipped nd made to develop and loved by his Fans nd coach.....if Neymar had opted for real madrid, na Ronaldo go frustrate him life kos both of dem go dey fyt for tap ins

ROnaldo has improved since he left EPL
In England he was a winger now he does more attacking play.

If ROnaldo was in EPL he would score 70

Krasid:
From what I can remember Ronaldo was injured for the 1st two months that season.He still finished second in the EPL top scorers chart with 18 goals just one behind top scorer Anelka with 19, he won the league and led his team to a consecutive UCL final.Hazard is leading his team out of the UCL R16 with his take ons.

raumdeuter:
Before Ronaldo left EPL he was already WPOTY, Ballon D Or, and scored 42 goals winning the CL title also scoring in the finals

Krasid:
See this joker o.Using Ronaldo as excuse to justify hazard's mediocrity.CR7 scored a massive 42 goals in all comp for United(7 in UCL), was topping the scorers chart b4 he left.He has improved significantly since he left and would perform similarly well in the EPL if he played for an EPL team as good as the current Madrid team.

Messi had his best league assists tally(18) ever this season thanks to the effeciency of Neymar and Suarez.I am sure if it was Hazard, he would be competing with Messi for most take ons.Please don't drag me into this Neymar-Hazard comparison.

Fabregas was bought to play the Xavi role. He flopped. Rakitic is better.

Debroslink:
Costa, who was a thorn in the flesh to defenders in UCL while playing for Atletico Madrid, became a toothless dog in attack for Chelsea in UCL.

All thanks to the useless and meaningless dribbles of Hazard.

Debroslink:
Fabregas was supposed to be the heir of Xavi, he flopped. Rakitic came and now has truly succeeded Xavi

Debroslink:
The same French league where old cargo John Utaka's goals won the league for Lille?

Abeg tell me something Better.

Debroslink:
Do you want us to start Rakitic/Fabregas feud?
A Fabregas guy who didn't even know his position in the team.

Just like Sanchez, Fabregas was average for Barcelona.

coogar:
if you do a swap, hazard would fail at barcelona. all those senseless dribbling that gives the ball away is anti-barca. barca are only interested in players that can keep the ball under pressure and pass the ball even when marked tightly.

hazard does not possess such skills!

jimmy4x:
Madrid wey dey spend anyhow, even their fans can't argue this, everyone knows Madrid signed James cos of how he played at d world cup, shud Bale nd James command such a high transfer fee??
They bought Isco, James and Kroos paying primarily in the same position nd offloaded Alonso...didn't it affect them earlier in the season??

Debroslink:
That's why we'll always make this thread hot for you Chelsea fans.

What mumu chances did Hazard create for Chelsea that made Costa score zero goals in UCL last season?

When Costa was at Atletico Madrid, he scored 7 goals in UCL that season. The likes of Adan Turan supplied those killer passes.

So,pls explain those chances Hazard created that made Costa a flop in UCL last season.

diggz:
It is no news dat madrid gets to sell and buy who ever dey want to so ,wats d e-idiots point exactly?

Debroslink:
My man, if you are sold by Barcelona or Madrid, it's because you are not good enough. And yes, Rakitic is a better player @ Barcelona than Fabregas.

And yes again, Sanchez didn't hit the standard set for him at Barcelona. His standard is for 2nd class teams like Arsenal.

raumdeuter:
Only a football neophyte would argue otherwise

Madrid offloaded Di Maria because they got a better Hames, The offloaded Ozil because they got Bale, Barca sold Fabregas because they got a Rakitic who fits better, They offloaded Sanchez because they got Neymar.

WHy should Neymar leave the best team in the world for 2nd and 3rd tier clubs

Okay let Hazard leave Chelsea for Hoffenheim, Villareal or Napoli and lets see if he would thrive
