Summary:

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.

Which Igbo' s culture?
You can say culture in some places in Anambra State.

What has this got to do with his religion? Yoi have seen him as your personal enemy and you have decided to be against all he stands for .

How does this even sit well for you? We should preach love and peace always
[color=#006600][/color]

It has everything to do. That guy doesn't like the Igbo people.
We should stop pretending to like people who don't show love.
It's always good to take people for who they are and not being politically correct.
Those are the kind of people supporting bad individuals into government positions and eventually mess up the whole country for everyone.
So you expect one to embrace such people?

In some places in Anambra and IMO state especially parts of Anambra south and IMO west, it's a taboo to kill pythons.

Like it or not this tradition helps with conservation of snakes

Shout out to my NAT GEO WILD FANS
What you're looking at is the origin of all conservation from where the West got it. It's also the origin of the concept of a "savior" or Messiah which has been here in Africa for millions of years before there was a God called Yahweh.

It's just that it's not white people that are protecting the snake, otherwise the same Africans who talk down on this would call it "conservation" or they'll say "white people love animals so much" instead of saying tradition. That's how much our brains have been damaged.

Killing of snakes ans humans are different, it is a custom and tradition in that region not to kill a snake, whereas the snake will also not hurt you.
But for cow, people that rear the cow are wrestling pasture from the owner of the farm. So site the difference
JibolaUsman:
No wonder people are being killed for cows in Nigeria. This placement of animals above people is why Nigeria is so backward.

THE MAN DID A GOOD JOB... THIS IS LIKE STOPPING THE KILLING OF TWINS TRADITION.....HE SHOULD KILL ALL THE PYTHONS AND SNAKES EVERYWHERE..EVIL TRADITIONS SHOULD BE DONE AWAY WITH.

I serve in idemili north local government council where the purported sacred snake was used as the statute in the centre of the council.
But what used to amaze me was that several of these snakes were killed on that road in Ogidi with no body held and this thing did not fight for itself but the people are now creating nuisance over a senseless tradition

Will they parade the python if it kills the man or any person?
Africans and senseless traditions.
In this time and age, some people are still believing and aligning with deities?
Ibos still doing Dibias and Ezenwanyis upandan.
The one whites brought to you howfar??, have it salvaged Nigeria out of misery?, oga shut up and face your region!

How exactly does it make you feel? It will just encourage more bigotry and hatred. We have the government to face. The people up there don't care about us. They will rather fuel this our hatred and bigotry towards each other , divide us and rule. Last election has proven that.

Love wins always

The one the white brought to us is the one you and I are using to communicate now.
That little equipment you are using to type the thrash you just said who made it, your dibia?
Why did you bother to go to the so called white man school to acquire their education?
You should have settle down to your traditional dibia apprenticeship.

Why will he kill a protected animal. He should be jailed. Harming protected animals is a crime all over the world
They said sacred...you turn am to protected. All this mumu agenda done cast. The backwardness exposed by this news is glaringly hilarious for all to see.

I understand you. The best way to protect yourself is to take people for who they really are.
I believe you are still young and won't understand the depth of the human mind.
It's like preaching love to bandits or boko haram members.
Those people are beyond the concept of love or empathy.
We have political bandits who are happy to work with the wicked politicians.
It's best for the sane people of the society to stay away from such people and not to have anything to do with them.
You can love from afar, but don't make the mistake of getting close to them. They will happily fu¢k you up.
Their understanding about life and yours are millions years apart.
Europe and other developed countries are facing crises today because they believe love and empathy can work on certain people especially on those of a particular religious faith.
There are a lot of people in nairaland that consistently support funny politicians year in year out and you expect one to embrace such entities?
For your peace of mind avoid such people. They don't and will never understand the concept of love.
Such people live in a parallel world.
It's a funny world we live in.
