You are the one betraying your ignorance via your stupid reasoning. Over ages it's been confirmed in these villages that the python is harmless and you think you are wiser than almost 100 thousand plus people.
Think about your life, you may have a comma somewhere that is causing badluck and hardluck for you that is depressing and frustrating you.

The person you are quoting is actually correct. All these python sacred stuff doesn't really apply to the African rock python which can grow up to 6 metres in length and swallow a live crocodile.

I don't doubt the spiritual stuffs, but that's a fact. African rock pythons are aggressive beasts that can kill a man if really hungry.

Secondly, no python has venom.

Anyways about the spiritual side,most communities that revere snakes (especially pythons) are usually worshipping a marine spirit or diety. I'm not surprised because anambra people are known as successful business people and in spiritual parlance, the demonic entities that give wealth and power usually abide in the waters (read the book of Nahum and the prophecies against Tyre in the Bible) for those that are willing to pay the price.

So let's all be guided

It’s up to you to choose to be ignorant. I wonder what exactly is the reason why you believe you have the right to tell me what to write here. Your forefathers knew everything and they sold their brothers into slavery. Dumb folks like you need to remain in your caves. You don’t like the Igbo tradition as much as I do and it’s up to me to do away with any aspect of it I choose.

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

MrCliff:
A certain Community called Umuokani in Ohaji Egbema LGA of Imo State, there pythons are respected and worshipped, they don't kill it. what amazed me most is that when a woman gives birth, the python will visit the home, and they will allow it coil it's self on the baby, a nursing mother would treat it like a guest, pour powder on the snake whole body , after a while, it would uncoil and go away.. they even said, that the snake act as a baby sitter since some nursing mother can go to the market or farm, leaving the baby alone with the snake at home and the snake would go away peacefully not harming the baby, once woman returns.
I fear ohh �

Even some villages in Aguata too do the same.

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

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 [b]python's venom [/b]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.

In much of Anambra, it is a taboo to kill or harm a python. I remember one time I was driving to somewhere in my village. A Python was trying to cross the road but it was sluggish. We all had to wait in hold up for a good 20 minutes until this massive python crossed the road.

As an Anambra man, when I see pictures of people killing Python, even cooking it to eat, I'm very angry

In some parts of Igbo land, that animal is sacred.

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

Some Chinese Buddhists discourage the consumption of beef, although it is not considered taboo. but in your case, it's taboo.

Themaths:
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.

My town is in Ihiala LGA, we don't kill both python and Ewi. We have a shrine dedicated to python. Those days in the village python will enter our house and swallow our foul, the best we could do is to use stick to take it out. One of my cousin usually use hand to carry it to the bush. Ewi is also sacred. Ewi was like a domestic animal in my town. My grandfathers ban was a home to a lot of them. We only go there to chase them away to stop them from eating the yams. People from the neighbouring towns usually refer us as "Mbosi ichi eri ewi".

AstroG:





Exactly,Uli don't kill pythons. I can vividly remember 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.
