Cultural practices in whatever form - custom, tradition, dressing, language, material or immaterial is dynamic. For any progressive society culture changes with the changing society. Some cultural practices such as the one in discussion has outlived it's usefulness and ought have been discarded but some people still holds to it to victimize others. To think that in a post-modern computer age humans are still worshipping 🐍 is archaic and barbarian. |

Yes, Anambara State has produced prominent and educated individuals. Nonetheless, the vast majority remain in the dark. In this 21st century man is talking of sacred what? Snake? Lord have mercy. In Anambra, youths paraded a man with a dead python around his neck after he allegedly killed the sacred snake, a serious taboo in some Igbo cultures.[/quote] |

Toluwanise247:It is an offence to Kill wild animals in some places in USA. My uncle's friend was deported the next day because he killed a raccoon on the streets. |

CharleyBright:senseless traditions, but go to the USA and Kill a python in the wild and See if they don't jail and deport your black ass back to Africa. |

terrible culture of 'developers'. When it suits them, they are jews worshipping the same thing that the God of Israel forbade |

donmixc:Nairalnaders and their bold display of ignorance will never seize to amaze me. Ball pythons are not dangerous to humans, they're very harmless especially in communities where they're not killed. |

franchasng:Not only idemili, there are other parts of Anambra and Imo state that view the python as a sacred animal. You can call it archaic but if you kill any wild animal in the USA you will likely be charged and deported within a week. |

Toluwanise247:It's the same principle, just framed differently. Elephants are sacred in Thailand, cows are sacred in Hindu, you touch any of them and you will face a far severe consequence than this man in Anambra |

MistyDense:I'm from Anambra state, this culture has been like this for many years. I used UK as an example to tell u about people's culture. For instance, in awka the state capital you dare not kill a monkey, if you do u will face severe consequences more than the man is facing. In Lagos island, you dare not roast yam and red oil, it is forbidden. And people are obeying it. I cannot use because I love roasted yam and go to Isale eko to eat or roast it. |

Wills2875:Lagos as developed and enlighten it is, go to isale eko and eat roasted yam and palm oil. Or open a shop where they sell it there. |

Barbaric. The person are playing with a venomous viper. |

sexyking1:Are u serious about eating Roasted yam and oil? I'm shocked to hear such |
