I thought you can only kill the bad one but leave the Good one bald python.
Can anyone give the English name to ewi from a TVC documentary on YouTube I am assuming ewi Is monitor lizards

Monitor Lizard is called "Olugburudu" in Igbo


Ewi is bush rabbit

Damsonkc:
I have read everything here and there is a lot of misinformation. First, pythons are not venomous. This is for the person that said a python bit a woman and the venoms came out. Second, the variety of pythons not killed by some northern Igbos are the African ball pythons. They do not grow to become giant beasts like the ones we see on Nairaland killed by people in bushes. The ball python is smaller and generally doesn’t attack people. An African rock python would swallow you if it’s extremely hungry and can’t find food. There is a big difference between these species. Biko let’s learn to be guided, umunnem.

A scientific perspective. Okay.

I thought about this yesterday when I was bathing.....I laugh out loud when people say there is nothing like jazz in Africa....I ed when I was young when things are not moving well for my parents in lagos....my parents decided to move me down to the village to stay with my moms brother in Anambra State ozubulu precisely.......it's well known that ozubulu people don't kill Python...I having my bath together with Python in our bathroom....it won't even attack me...it will jst wrap itself one side....I also ed cooking in our kitchen several times.... Python will jst through my legs without attacking me.... that's when I know that Snake body is always cool...that's why they like staying in a cool place....i also ed waking up some times seeing Python by my side...it really baffle me anytime I think about it nw....I spent more than 3 years there...for once I never heard or see where Python attack anybody....I swear there is power in this world....nw if I see small tiny snake I go run like tomorrow no dey

Did you say waking up and seeing python by your side and it didn't try to harm you?

Fear of the unknown.

MelesZenawi:



Stop believing say what you know.

Secondly, the thread says Igboland ..why dragging Edo state here.


You guys are really somethingelse.

because Edo is your state of origin...why get offended because he mentioned Edo..aren't you proud of your state?

AngryNijerian:
I know one woman that python mistakenly bit in her farm. She said to the python; why will you bite me, don't you know that i'm daughter of the soil and besides i didn't intentionally march you. Immediately the python's venom started dripping off her leg. You will think its a story but it actually happened.

You don't kill python here, some see python entering their room at night but won't bat an eyelid and will probably sleep in that same room with the python. If you don't like its presence take a stick and take it out of your house while you throw the stick away because if you don't it will trace that stick back to your house.

very funny mistakenly bite this one weak me ooo

meleszenawi is actually an Edo boy who sweeps gutters in Onitsha..he hears Igbo though and wants to be Igbo by all means

Zikora1000:
Many parts of Anambra state like ihiala, okija, ekwulobia, some parts of awka south and dunukofia don't kill python. some parts of imo state like Njaba don't kill it too. they call it Eke Njaba in Njaba imo state

True, we don't kill them in Ukpo, dunukofia.

udoka2013:
Even some villages in Aguata too do the same.

Not only them Ihiala government Okija, Azia, ULI Ihiala etc don't kill it.

Mugu people still believing tales in 2019


Shior

No wonder they abandon their dead people at Evil Forest to be eaten by the Phytons...

Chinua Achebe confirmed that but did not explain the details...!

I confirm this to be true as someone who did his national service at Nnewi. Aguata also shares similar culture and some part of Nnewi.

Kingof2nations:

Sure if mistakenly bit you and you scream and talk some time related to you some son or daughter of the soil , the snake will immediately Hiss and move it's way but BTW it don't even find trouble, very peaceful.

Pythons get venom?

It is also revered among the Nembe people of bayelsa, it is permitted to crawl into homes.

Beremx:
My village in Orlu, pythons are not killed. But in situations it swallows human nko?

Lol...
I'm serving in your village in Orlu, Imo State.

where in Orlu is your village?
besides why is picture like that of 1972

valentineuwakwe:
somewhere in IMO STATE , emekuku or emiir ...they don't kill snakes(eke) there too..

Not just emekuku alone which is along the express leading to Abia state.

That Njaba - Awo Omamma axis down to mgbidi are also avoid eating the ball python.

MPESA:

Exactly,Uli don't kill pythons. I can vividly when I was still a student at Anambra State University,Uli Campus,have encountered them so many times. Even my lodge then was their den due to the fact that we didn't knw there was a python shrine 7km away from the Lodge,but it has never bitten anybody in the Lodge.

I love pythons. I will have one soon...it brings wealth in abundance..it works like magic. Why do you think cele people worship snake codedly?

OruExpress:
I believe the python is respected like this in Imo, Anambra, Rivers and Abia. I think they can kill it in Enugu and Ebonyi and I don't know about Delta and Edo

Point of correction. We don't do that in Abia. We don't respect python

Here in Abia state such believe does not exist.
Kill any animal you wish, because man has be given dominion over all by God almight.

No ones has given you any right whatsoever to tell me what to do. The assumption that you have an opinion on my comments shows how deluded you are. Keep your worthless thoughts to yourself. I never called you into my posts.

Nairaland is full of annoying morons, please try to ignore such persons

I'm from Azia. I confirm your post to be true, we don't kill pythons. Our neighbour, Mbosi, don't kill ewi (rabbit)...

I wonder why anyone will want to kill a Python though.
