Okoro Jungle! grin

Why do you guys refer to igbos as Okoro, the name is not limited to igboid alone, It's also an Edoid word, and also answered in Eastern Yoruboid dialect , thou a corrupt word is now used in ilaje, but okoro is still used in Itsekiri. Bini seems to use the corrupt word also.

What if I the snake killer ain't having no problems afterwards?? What about problems that stems from poor and clueless leadership?

I only knew it as an Idemili thing. We don't kill pythons around that area. We've caught a few in our compound in the village and used long sticks to relocate them to the bush. It's an easy injunction to follow because the pythons are not particularly harmful. But if I saw a venomous snake whose venom could kill me, no mad tradition would ever stop me from squashing its head.

Because Pythons respect themselves.
The truth is that Python don't bite. Throughout my my life in the village till I left I didn't hear that Python bite someone. If it enters your house you use stick to remove it, some guys will even use hand to carry it to the bush where it's released.

I'm from abatate in idemmili north and attest to this. We don't kill a python. When you see one you offer kola and say it should go that Christians (ndi uka) are around and it will quietly leave. Most of the time it comes to pay its homepage to a new born baby.

Representing idemilli North. We don't kill python. Infact it is harmless. Witnessed as a kid it will enter my grandma kitchen and sometimes even her bedroom and it will be driven away with stick or some drop of kerosene

#FakeNews. The pictures can not support it because it is not true.
If the situation really exists then na to travel go there capture some to export, White people can never get enough of pet pythons.
my brother can you have the mind to transport or as you said export it from there? I doubt you can't the juju pass juju. Imagine your fellow human being communicating with a Python and the animal will move in sync with what was said. You should just come and see things for yourself.

Sir please, So u mean you don't know you belong to your father's town by descent. If your mum is from Togo and your dad is from Nigeria yet u were born in Sierra Leone.
That means you are a Nigerian by descent and a Sierra leonean by birth. But there's no where on earth where you are allowed to claim your mother's place of descent sir.

Note: this is a friendly explanation sir. Ayam not here to fight cos it seems everyone on nairaland gets angry these days sad sad cry cry

am sorry to write this(I know it does not concern the topic but I think I should) you are wrong about what you said concerning someone not claiming right of descent or inheritance at the person's mother's village, well there is a place its given to them(ie nwa di-ana) its a place called KALABARI KINGDOM in Rivers state Nigeria.

Exactly.pythons are common sights in my village and I never heard that they hurt anyone.they crawl into homes and little kids just put sticks near them n they curl up the sticks which the kids take out.some just lift them with their hands n take them out.

Juju only attacks those who believe in it.

This means snakes are not as dumb as I thought. I guess almost all animals are trainable then.
These sentences have raised my anticipation to capture them for pet export purposes.

The reason why pythons are not killed in that community is because they want to fight laziness, pythons are big and very slow, so it is very easy to kill, so if you are a good hunter you either hunt the weak and fast animals ie antelops or the slow but strong ones like lions and leopards.
