Hmm, Igboland!!

KristaPretty:
Hunger never catch them

Sha let none near me cos na peppersoup straight. No one would even know

Moferere:

The last time I checked, amawbia is under Awka South LGA

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

Lionnation:
they kill any other snakes but python, I don't know why English is too difficult for Yoruba people to understand

Nice meeting you, after 17years leaving Awka-Etiti, a job brought me back to Awka-etiti (Umunocha),though I left there already,Grew up at Nkolofia

Mariaben:
Not much. I know it's a neighboring town to Awka-Etiti and I know the name of their market is Afor Nnobi

Beremx:
My village in Orlu, it is forbidden to kill or eat python. If it is seen going astray, it is led back to the bush.
This I have witnessed

Lionnation:
even in my local government in imo state we forbid killing pythons ideato north and orlu local government don't kill pythons

What if a dangerous rattle snake lost its way and find itself inside the local govt. Won't it be dangerous to anyone who will intend to carry it to safety thinking it's harmless

Nwaide01:
This information is half truth because i know that we kill and consume Python which can equally kill and consume a grown man,that one we called it Eke Ogba as for this one which the OP posted we simply called it Eke,it's English name is what i don't know may be because the English people know little or nothing about it.Again there are different types of this Eke,there are ones we called Eke ukwu,they are the bigger version of this one the OP posted. Python lives in or around water while this one lives near people because that's where it's prey abound. As for why we don't kill it the story varies from town to town as well as what happens to anyone who intentionally killed it.

A python is different from a rattle snake, the same way a monkey is different from a gorilla.

Lilimax:
No part of Anambra state kills Python. It is a sacrilege

Indispensable85:
My guy who schooled in Anambra used to kill them and put in the bag. He travels with them to Benin to make pepper soup. He did it for years before he graduated from there.

Cyoung4real:



Lol, you know nothing bro. Come Ogidi and you will see pythons huge enough to swallow goats. Although they do swallow eggs and chicken but if you caught them in the act, you use broom to flog them and they will never return to try such. Some, we will have to use wheelbarrow to carry them to the bush because we can’t lift it with stick.

a very good liar

Be Very Careful

InoGetJoy:

We've killed a python in my village in Orlu. I don't think it's all parts or Orlu who have that culture. I wish mine has it though

Lionnation:
even in idemili you can kill the python and go Scott free provided a chief or any custodian did not see you commit the murder

VirileNelly2420:

My uncle is marrying in Nkorofia.

Aditkd:
Ezibote Nna, Kekwanu. Your town is very close to mine.

Fahdiga:
Lies

Moferere:

Obviously some of you who are Igbos don't go home. Neither are you aware of your culture.
This snake is what is called Eke idemili, in Idemili North & South. I came across them when I was supervising a project in Alor and Abatete.

Let me also state that it is not limited to idemili alone, in some part of the state capital, Awka, you dare not kill a snake, especially in Amawbia.

Pls count Amawbia out. Am from Amawbia and we don't spare any type of snake.

The same thing in Njaba LGA in Imo state

InoGetJoy:

Nope not only chieves, an individual can report you

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

The problem with you guys is schizophrenia. You don't ever face realities. Everything exists in fantasy for you guys. I'm telling you of a close friend who schooled in ANSU, you're there writing nonsense. Continue serving what your mates are using for pepper soup. Ozuor!
