Career › Re: Job, Graduate Program Or Marriage? by tomakint: 5:14pm On Dec 17, 2012
As they say, 'he who fails to plan, is planning to to fail' but the game of life is well beyond that, life is about taking risk and the rest is history, whichever one comes first can be taken but it depends on the dictate of your spirits at that time, many ladies are aging (and remain unmarried as a result of strategising for the right guy, job or whatever), the best you can do is seek for counselling from those who know better but as for taking one first before the others I cannot guarantee the end results. Life is enshrouded in one great Mystery that must be unraveled by us as we take those risks we love to fear!

Culture › Re: The Mystery Of The Idemili Culture!!! by tomakint(op): 4:10pm On Dec 17, 2012
[quote author=Okija_juju]NONE!!!


Cobras are highly venomous and there is no community in Okija or Anambra in general (To my knowledge) that reveres the cobra...


Secondly, I dont even think cobras can be found in our parts of Nigeria..



So my Answer is NO!! No Igbo tribe worships the Cobra..

Ask for the python, Its understandable as Pythons dont carry poisonous venoms and rarely attack humans.. I have seen many of them in Anambra State crawling around majestically like they own the town. Its nice to see humans and serpents living in harmony.. My Yoruba friend almost pissed his pants at the sight of one in Obosi.
[/quote]That's my field (Wildlife) of course there are cobras in the east, I remembered my stay in Abia, of course they are not as plentiful in Yoruba land, we have enough cobra species in the west! Thanks for the response, wao Iwould love to see the symbiotic relationship between the Idemili people and pythons, I have always maintained that where 'wild animals' are shown love and care they are known to be docile!
Culture › Re: The Mystery Of The Idemili Culture!!! by tomakint(op): 3:57pm On Dec 17, 2012
@ Okija, is it true that there is a particular community at Okija where cobras (naja naja species) are reverred? Just asking and I believe you can do justice to that!

If this 'Gorimapa' can fork out those huge sums to purchase those 'wonders-on-wheels' as member of our 'hallow chamber' in a country where 70% are managing to live above 1 dollar a day, then Nigeria has already been hijacked, what a shame on this 'clown'!

No one knows what will happen in the next mins, if only they had an inkling of what is about to happen they would have put a stop to their deaths, .....what a world we live in? The dead mourning the dead!!! We all owe death and we all must pay death with our lives! May the souls of the dead REST IN PEACE!!!

ezeagu: The python seems to have spiritual value in many cultures, since this snake is believed to be the boys husband or wife in the past life and they have a shrine for it.
Of course, to every culture there is a spiritual attachment, that was why i created the thread! How I wish this can make the front page so that more meaningful contributions can evolve! I wish andre uweh can surface, i need him. thanks odumchi
