Tobsam237: SNAKES
I stumbled on this crazy piece.....

The Green Snakes of Okposi
When my NYSC call up letter requested me to report at
Ebonyi state, I leaped for joy because I wasn't posted to the
North where the activities of the Boko Haram insurgents
were rampant. I once thought that the only thing worthy of
dread was the Boko Haram sect, but it has occurred to me
that Boko Haram is just one of the many unsualiness in parts
of Nigeria. The most memorable moment during my odyssey
to Ebonyi state from Lagos was the point when my vehicle
crossed the river Niger which borders Delta State and
Anambra State. The memories of Chinua Achebe's novel
"Chike and the River" nostagically swept accross my mind
like erosion on Benin roads. I recalled how the adventurous
Chike crossed the Niger and providentially emerged a hero
following his effort in helping the police to nab the leader of a
notorious gang of robbers. But unlike Chike who crossed the
Niger out of cheer curiousity, I crossed the river Niger for the
first time in the quest of serving my fatherland. While on the
Niger bridge, it became instinctive that I'd encounter things
(fair and foul) that would be worthy of documentation. One
of such things has created in me an uncontrollably drive
which has forced me to commit my pen to paper.
The NYSC camp in Afikpo, Ebonyi State may not be the best
total institution in the world but the lessons I learnt in the
camp were priceless. The psyche of the NYSC programme
presented a regimented life which involved physical drills,
skill acquisition, national orientation, patriotism and self-
reliance. Mixed feelings trailled my departure from the camp
to a destination which my posting letter revealed to be
Okposi in Ohaozara Local government. The road which linked
Afikpo town to Ohaozara must not be travelled by a truck
conveying crates of eggs because of the unmotorable state
of the road. The desolate state of the hamlets along the road
painted a vivid picture of rurality, or rather, it supported the
disorted NYSC acronym which has it as "Now Your Suffering
Continues". The fact that my suffering has continued was
alarmed by two female corps members who wept helplessly
in the vehicle. The ladies were crying because like every
corps members posted to Ohaozara local government, they
have been stripped off their modernity as well as their
urbanized way of life.
We arrived Okposi few hours after midday. The town seemed
to be the most developed region in Ohaozara local
government. The town has motor parks, restaurants, a hotel,
a police station, churches, markets, petrol stations among
others. The roads within the town were motorable, the
people were Igbo speaking and quite industrious. The
villagers were hospitable to corps members and the females
were readily available to meet the sexual needs of male
corps members. One thing fascinated me about the social life
of the Okposi people in Ohaozara local government. The
fascination arose from their reverance of green snakes in
private and public places.
It is highly forbidden to kill green snakes in Okposi while it is
forbidden to kill any species of snakes in some other parts of
Ebonyi State. The green snakes of Okposi must not be killed
given any circumstances. The reason being that, green
snakes were worshipped by the ancestors of the land. Green
snakes could be seen as frequently as Lizards are seen in
South-Western Nigeria. Green snakes creep into rooms,
churches, car parks, compounds etc and they are not killed.
A stranger is mandated to conduct a burial ceremony if he or
she intentionally or unintentionally kills a green snake. This
queer custom of the Okposi people has invalidated my initial
view that snakes were wild animals. A senior corps member
narrated the story of how a green snake crept into his
church during a certain sunday service and how the snake
was only pampered out of the church auditorium.
The hospitality shown to green snakes in Okposi has
advanced the sociological views that what is "wild" or
"domestic" is cuturally determined. Before you start labelling
the custom of the Okposi people as barbaric and archaic,
think about the unusualiness in your own society, think about
the fooliness of some of your own beliefs. Indeed, the way of
life of a people vary from one geographical area to the other.
I would have loved to continue my ethnographic writings but
I've to feed the green snakes approaching my reading table
now.
A Yoruba corps member wrote from Okposi, Ebonyi State.

just tell me,it is a joke,l thought ivo was the snake island,that no corp member was posted their.

Tobsam237: Bro... I think the above is not mathematical correct... I thought percentage(%) rounds up to 100%......

Bro... I think the above is not mathematical correct... I thought percentage(%) rounds up to 100%......

No offences....

Each of the network is 100%.

My advice for them is to go,GOD has plan for everybody.

Ok

The best network is Airtel 80%,follow by mtn 50%,glo 40% Etisalat 10%. Each network is 100%, you should get it clear,their are some village which Airtel failed for 20%,mtn failed for 50%,glo failed for 60%,and Etisalat failed for 90%.

Talking from Exprience Batch A 2014 Corp member from lagos, Life from Ebonyi state,new batch B otondo you are welcome,we are expecting you all,we wish you safety journey ahead.let me give you and hint,if you are many living from lagos to Afipo, you can talk to the driver before living to take you direct to camp,but make sure you live bus live lagos 6am,I used to come by peace at jibowu,but if you are not many, everybody will be drop at Abakaliki,you will pass your night at Abakaliki,Muslim are welcome by their follow muslims brothers and sister know as{MCAN}Muslim Corpers Association of Nig} while christians are welcome by their fellow brothers and sisters,by {NCCF,ACF,DLCF,REDEEM,JCF,etc.} ,the next morning you commence just 1 hour journey from Abakaliki to Afipo CAMP, but my advice for people coming from lagos or far state like lagos is to pass their night at Abakaliki because of the stress you have gone through and also the road to Abakaliki to Afipo CAMP is not good for night journey,But others from near state you are good to go.kindly forward your question will be Ready to Answer you.Do have a blessed night Ahead.
