u would rather the snakes harmed the sleeping children so ur pitable atheism will be satisfied. the reverend did what any sane responsible father will do. any tradition that chooses the life of any snake or animal to that of children is stupidity. lets see u keep ur calm when snakes invade the privacy of ur children s room at odd hours. stupid bigots

thats how Agulu crocodiles became harmful after the church ppl came and did crusade at the river bank of all places in Agulu and engaged the reptiles in spiritual warfare. Before then, ppl used to wash clothes and keep them on the broad surface of crocodiles before rinsing. Now, if u accidentally meet a crocodile near d river, na God wl save u.
Hope pythons wont start the same tnz in that community

am a christian, and i have gone for missions but the last thing i wl do is to kill a python that didnt do anything to me in sb's community.
The pastors punishment will be to bury d python.

All these our Christian brethren from the east, na wa o!
I'm amazed, really amazed!
No wonder we read recently that kidnappers even conduct prayer programs for successful operation.
Do you people know what Christianity is all about at all?

So you all value the life of an errant python over that of the pastor's children.

Anyone can call anybody any name,that is his opinion.If they call me a thief,I will always make sure I am not stealing.Among liars,the only one telling the truth is reckoned as a liar.The whole earth has the same judge.there is no different judge for the Europeans and the Igbo Christians.Let him judge us all

saintneo: EKE NEKWA ONYE UKA ~ PYTHON, CHRISTIAN HERE

I was born and raised in Anambra, I have always known of this tradition in Anambra. These snakes visit home stay with children without harming them. I have never heard of a case where there was injury or death as a result of this snake. In my place in Enugu, there is snake we don't kill as well ~ Awgo Ocha(White Snake) usually small in size.

Somehow, there seems to be an equilibrium between these snakes and their communities. It is the same equilibrium we have with other animals like dogs. Also, these snakes could be endangered species.

I'm against the killing of this snake. Firstly, this snake was sleeping in the children's room. For the snake to be sleeping, it means the snake had being there for longer period without harming anyone. Why didn't the pastor secure his children first before seeking its destruction? Why didn't the pastor show any mercy?

Your analysis is scary o ! So the man should have left the snake to continue sleeping in his children's room and moved the children outside for safety? In a house he's paying rent on ! Or left the children there for the snake to baby-sit. Nawa o

Lilimax: I come from Anambra state and in Anambra state, they don't kill PYTHON to be precise.
They kill everyother snake except python.
The snake does not bite people. I grew up to meet this tradition but when asked they said it is a
sacrilege to kill python.
Provided it does not bite me, I move on.
Let them perish with their tradition and belief sad sad.
you are so on point. My village don't kill pythons and it doesn't bite people. I grew up knowing its a scriledge and if you do accidentally kill 1, you accord it the traditional burial rites of the community. The only downside for me is, I can't tell a python from another type of snake

overzealous my foot, so he should rather watch the snake kill his children. How do you reason for God's sake. When a snake come visit you in the house, you should sit and dine with it. The pastor did what he needs to do "kill the damn thing".

So you expect the man to leave the snake/python to swallow his children. Let me ask you, if you find a snake where your kids are sleeping, what would you do?

Those community people should allow their god to fight for himself. Ha!ha!ha!ha! Dead gods are as good as dead! Let me see one of those snakes, sure I WILL KILL IT. DEAD PEOPLE WITH DEAD god or is it dog.


HEY SHUT UP! WE ARE TRUE NIGERIANS! WE DONT BELIEVE IN YOUR DEAD ISRAELI FOREIGN GOD!

EVERYONE INCLUDING THAT PASTOR KNOWS THAT IDEMILLI PYTHONS [size=16pt]NEVER[/size] HARM KIDS.

If we found a python, we wouldpick it up and put it in a bush.

brotherlyn:

I'm amazed at the way some of us just quote scriptures without the help of the Holy Spirit. I'm afraid the above statement lacks wisdom content and it is completely out of context in relation to the topic on hand.

Back to the point, since they claim the snake is their god, why fight for your god? Let the god fight for himself or itself (whichever).

If the snake had bitten the children to death, what do you think would have happened?

As far as i'm concerned, the man in question did the right thing.



The snake is an innocent animal. IT is a symbol of the indigenes and its spirit is considered a guardian of that area.

If the pastor can parade around trying to destroy this symbol of a God on Earth, then even the protectors of this symbol , i.e., the snake, have a right to retaliate and take revenge for this senseless killing.


THIS IS WHY NIGERIA IS LOSING ALL ITS WILDLIFE AND ANIMALS! BECAUSE OF CRUEL SAVAGES LIKE THIS CHRISTIAN PASTORS.

I know Igbos don't kill Eke and as a Pastor in that town he should have known that. If he wasn't out for trouble he would have found a way to make the snake leave instead of killing it.

those are material representations of the Gods. A Snake is a more powerful representation since it has a soul.

You call killing of snake over-zealousness?! Well, I am not surprised. It is expected from an ex self-professed Christian.

Mind you, even if someone burns a Bible, Christians will not kill anybody. We are completely different from some other religions who claim to be peaceful, yet their worshipers help their god to avenge offense.

There is something seriously wrong with your head. A man heard the screaming of his family, he went to investigate the cause and found a snake in their bedroom(not garden,not front yard,not car park,not roof)bedroom as in inside house!

Okay please tell us. Should he have interviewed the snake to know whether it is harmful or not? Or is he a qualified veterinary doctor to tell one specie from the other?

His only crime is to be living among backward lunatics like yourself. And to compare a snake and the holy bible shows your upbringing was an obvious disaster. Goat!
