Church, community disputes over killing of snake (Page 12)

does it bite them .... the answer is a big NO. tradition is a tradition . killing of a snake is a taboo in most of Anambra state , so the pastor should no better cos the tradition has been there before he come open his church . afterall the village cannot change their tradition bcos of pastor they're not even show he worship God inside . nawadays anything is possible .

The pastor for use am for pepper soup ... See meat..

and u people will be insulting the rest tribes about their tradition how  is unclean bla bla bla.....

Those snakes really do not bite.In any community where they forbid killing snakes and there are many of such communities in Anambra and Imo States,snakes in such communities do not bite.They come around peoples houses from time to time,they stay for sometime and leave on their own without hurting anybody.Why should you kill a snake if it does not harm you???.Can the Pastor swear he does not know about that tradition since he has been staying there???.I think the Pastor should concentrate on his Church and stop trying to change the tradition of a people.The Pastor have a village and I am sure his own village have some traditions which the pastor have not changed,yet he went to another community and wants to change a tradition that has been there from time immemorial.The problem with us Africans is that we forget we have always been better than the people we are trying to copy.I mean any tradition that can stop snakes from biting and hurting people,to me such tradition is a very good tradition.Instead of us to study and identify the reason why this tradition is able to stop a snake from biting,and apply the same to other harmful animals,we are busy following white mans tradition which cannot stop a snake from biting.

ashawo na work ... If not all your sisters wouldn't have be doing it.
