jmoore! In fact, you murdered her!!! . That statement is something else

focus7:
Funny!! If an Umuohi woman is maltreated a phython appears in the house, the igbos better warn their eke not to appear in a Lagos compound, I swear it will be killed and be served as pepper soup. So primitive set of people going everywhere to make noise how they developed Lagos, Abuja and Kano while they lives with pythons in their village.

Do you have an atom of sense in your skull? I doubt!!!

missKiffy:
Bloody yeebos, if it is another tribe now they will start crying and wailing as if na them holy pass, and na them worse pass

This is not a tribal thread so don't tribalize it!!!

Here in nigeria? Wow I love to learn new things.

That's nice

Life is difficult but it is more difficult when you are stupid!!!

Culture!!!

In many places in Igboland, the python is regarded as a ‘sacred being’ which no one is expected to kill, harm or maltreat. It is an age-long observance because to most Igbo communities, Eke or python is seen as the symbol of the sea or river goddess. It protects and provides for the people, both in terms of wealth, fertility and long life. To the people, eke is a harmless ‘being’ and it is actually harmless to those who do not kill it. To them, eke symbolises peace, prosperity and abundance, especially in the waters.

At Umuohi, Okija, in Ihiala local government area of Anambra state, a man called Ukata Nnanna in an interview gave a clearer picture of why the eke has come to be regarded as being so sacred and in some places is worshipped as a goddess.

"The story of eke we have here is sacred and different. But before we go on, it is good to point out that the mystery surrounding eke is greater than most of us can actually understand. Our own case is quite peculiar. In the olden days, our people used to provide shelter for strangers. This was how the issue of eke became a symbol of respect and regards here in our village", Nnanna said, grinning and shaking his head repeatedly.

"There was one certain aged widow who was said to have been driven away by her husband people. She set out on a journey, a journey she did not know where it would take her. When she got to Umuohi, Okija, she stopped and begged our people to provide a place for her to rest her feet. She was by then too tired to continue on her way.

"Our people did not only give her a place to settle down, she was also asked to remain with us. Without knowing it, our people had given shelter and hope to a woman with plenty of mysterious powers. Before the woman died she made a lot of promises to our people. In the first place she asked that her house be built by the riverside. No one knew why she made that sort of request. But then at her death she decreed that no Umuohi woman should be maltreated by her husband people. And wherever she is married to, on the first night of her arrival, a python would appear to encourage and strengthen her. To date, this situation still exists; that once an Umuohi woman is being threatened at her husband’s place, a python appears, sometimes a very big one that would frighten people out of their wits. For this reason, a lot of people are sceptical about marrying an Umuohi woman.

"The woman did not even die. She turned into eke. She lives inside the Okpu stream or if you like river, which is along Owerri-Onitsha road, Anambra state. There you can see this big python and it comes out once the sun is out to suntan. This is what it does everyday. It is so huge that a lot of people are scared of it," Nnanna stressed. "But we the Umuohi people are not," he boasted.

The python which is called eke ogwugwu-mili therefore is said to be the mother of all the pythons that litter the length and breath of Igboland. Today, anyone who kills or maims eke either knowingly or unknowingly is compelled to buy all the necessary materials with which to bury it. These range from white cloth, to coffin, kola nuts, white chalk and so on. The coffin would be placed in a conspicuous place where passers-by are wont to pay condolences and show some sign of remorse. Where one fails to bury the eke in the traditional way, more stringent punishments will be placed on him and members of his family. Sometimes he would be ostracised or banished from the land depending on the circumstances of the death of the python. Some even have small pox sickness placed on them.

It is because of all these that eke does not bite the natives of Okija and other places where these observances are made. If eke bites one by error, all it does is to hiss, and then the bite will have no effect on the person. Even then, Christians also obey the law; they too do not kill eke. Why would anyone kill it when it does not harm him? Some people would often ask. Eke is a common sight in many places in Igboland where they are at liberty to crawl without let or hindrance. There is the eke Idemili (for Idemili, river). There is also eke Ogba which is supposed to be the king of all the pythons. That one lives inside huge forests and so has no contact with human civilization.

Each area gives the eke a name according to what it does for them and the deity it represents. For some, it is eke atamili’ or eke nkwo ocha, all in the name of what place it has in their communal lifestyle and existence. Today at Umuohi, Okija, eke still remains their symbol, some kind of rallying point. And you are not expected to treat their daughters with disdain and disrespect.

hmm...that sounds scary especially pouring that hydrogen peroxide right inside the ear canal.
I'd rather dip the swab in that chemical and clean my ear,b4 u turn ur mission good hygiene to mission go deaf.
I'm not ready to learn sign language either.

It is not harmful. It kills bacteria in the ears and I have tried it several times. Works rapidly!

Why You Shouldn’t Use Swabs in The Ears

The American Academy of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery Foundation states that under ideal circumstances the ear canals should never have to be cleaned. Many people mistakenly believe that earwax should be routinely removed for personal hygiene, but this isn’t so.

Actually, attempting to remove earwax with cotton swabs, or other probing devices like bobby pins, can result in damage to the ear, including trauma, impaction of the earwax, or temporary deafness. These objects can push the wax in deeper, and can block the ear canal.

For most, earwax is only produced in the outer third of the canal, and you risk pushing the earwax deeper into the ear canal, near the eardrum with cotton swabs.

When people have a wax blockage against the eardrum, it is often because of probing the ear with cotton swabs, or other objects that  only push the wax in deeper. When this happens, it can bring fungus, bacteria, and viruses from the outer ear into the inner ear, increasing the risk of infection, along with causing hearing loss, or even cause a ruptured eardrum.

This routine can also cause a vicious cycle, as the more you rub the inner ear with cotton swabs, the more histamine is released, which makes your skin irritated and inflamed. This can cause  additional dryness and irritation that makes you want to insert a cotton swab again.

There’s even research showing earwax impaction may alter cognitive function in the elderly via its affect on hearing. In one study, when impacted earwax was removed hearing improved significantly, as did the participants’ cognitive function.

Better Ways To Clean The Ears

Most people do not need to clean their ears regularly, but the following symptoms may indicate you have an excess of earwax buildup that may need some attention. See below:

*Noticeable Wax *Accumulation/Discharge from Ears
*Foul Odor in The Ears
*Frequent Earaches
*Ringing in The Ears
*A Feeling That Ears are Plugged
*Partial Hearing Loss
*Severe Itching In The Ears

In most of these cases, you can clear earwax blockages at home. The simplest way to do this is to first soften the wax by placing a few drops of olive oil or coconut oil in your ear. Then, pour a cap full of 3% hydrogen peroxide in each ear to flush the wax out.

You will hear some bubbling, which is completely normal, and possibly feel a slight stinging sensation. Wait until the bubbling and stinging subside, around 5 to 10 minutes, then drain onto a tissue and repeat with the other ear.

Once you’ve cleared out any excess buildup or impaction, and are getting sufficient amounts of omega-3s, you will normally prevent a recurrence.

Where is that fool called deadie? Where is the goat?!!!

deadie:
I stated that I left Nigeria long time ago because of the bolded. My level of knowledge and thinking is way past the village boy mentality that you seem to possess. I believe that it is time for you to go back to your hut and cook that little bush rat that you snared.

You have really discovered a way to escape from the realities of your abject poverty...and that's the internet!!! Fool!!! Poor goat!!! I don't even think you have been to Ghana before! Idio.t!!!

andersyn:
I will like it if there's someone on Nairaland who

You are really lazy! You call yourself literate and you can't read a post that's as short as this?

Well as for me it would be not making paradise

When there's money, life is good!

The Portuguese ace says his whole life revolves around his family and that he enjoys nothing more than spending time with his son.

Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed his greatest fear is dying young.
The Portugal international is father to a five-year-old son and says that there is nothing more important to him than his family and friends.

Consequently, he is keen to live a long and happy life that revolves around those dearest time him – and, of course, football.

“My greatest fear is dying young,” the three-time Ballon d’Or winner told Libero. “I don’t want to die young.

“I want to die an old man, at 80 or 90 years old.

“I try to do normal things with my family, my friends, my son. I try to be as normal as possible. My favourite pastime is playing with my son.

“The people around me, they always spur me on. They are a source of good vibes and positive energy and that’s the most important thing for me.

“I try to enjoy the moment. I like playing football and I want the fans to enjoy it as much as I do.”

Ronaldo is renowned for an intensive fitness regime that has transformed him from a skinny winger into a physically imposing forward, which he believes is down to his strong work ethic.

“My goal is to try to always be the best, year in, year out, and training hard to push myself to the max,” he added.

“I’ve always tried to do that and in the last eight, nine or 10 years I think it has worked pretty well for me, so I’ll try to go on doing the same.”

Ronaldo, who has won the last two Ballon d’Or awards, scored a career-high 61 goals in all competitions last season

Typical Nigerian mentality? You make me laugh. FYI, I left the shores of Nigeria a long time ago. The ignorance you exhibit is almost painful and you know nothing about journalism. Have you ever seen this kind of images on a news site? The answer is no because no reputable news organisation will ever publish these kind of images. Isn't it great that the internet has made it possible for fools to publicly express an opinion? Ignorant bushman.

You are such a stewpid fool!!! How does your location affect my life? Mugu!!! If you like, reside in Zimbabwe or Mauritius, that's your stewpid business! Goat!!!
