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.

Asquare84:
Their is so much mystery surrounding python, like Idoma speaking part of benue, python act very shy during the day and will never bite anybody even if you carry it with your bare hand, but during the night python is the most dangerous snake in Idoma land. As a child growing up and till date nobody can explain the reason behind this mistery

glink2015:
Definitely all those towns and villages people are possess. They all need urgent Deliverance. ....
They preserve the snake as god.

That's reason I have to be very careful wen I see a lady outside of my tribe.... Because they're things to know before I say , I do mistakingly

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.

Not that I know of. All records of human-python encounters gotten from these places are peaceful. But pythons are known to be dangerous in most parts of the world.

The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. Every part if this world belongs to God Almighty and not to any Python.

CAPSLOCKED:




THIS IS HOW FALSEHOOD AND SUPERSTITION IS BEING PEDDLED. IF NOT THAT MOST OF US ARE EDUCATED WE WOULD BELIEVE THIS STORY AND PASS IT TO OUR CHILDREN AND THEIR CHILDREN AFTER THEM, SO IT BECOMES FOREVER.

THE PYTHONS NATIVE TO NIGERIA DO NOT BITE. WORSE OF ALL THEY DO NOT HAVE VENOM.
NO PYTHON IN THE WORLD HAS BEEN OBSERVED TO BE VENOMOUS.

I'M SAVING YOUR STORY WHICH YOU CLAIM ACTUALLY HAPPENED SO THAT WHENEVER I READ IT, I'LL APPRECIATE SCIENCE, BIOLOGY, AND EDUCATION THE MORE, AND PUT IN MORE EFFORTS TOWARDS THE EMANCIPATION OF MISINFORMED PEOPLE FROM THE CHAINS OF SUPERSTITIOUS AND RELIGIOUS BELIEFS.

KIDfurniture:
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:

AwkaetitiBabe:
Guy it's simply a cultural something. Just like Chinese don't eat cows.

anoziechi:
