"I had a near death experience during my university days. I thank God till today. I was really scared of entering the room. After killing the first one, we didn’t know there was another one hiding. Until we started hearing a sound that's not the usual hissing. Omo see another cobra oo".

MBJ said:

"RIP to Nanyah. Rushed to hospital but no anti-venom available. This is the reality here. Most people cannot identify a harmless grass snake from a spitting cobra in seconds, especially when panicked. Dry season forces snakes indoors looking for water and shade. If a snake enters your space and you have a safe way to eliminate the threat, do it. Your life comes first. Stay safe out there."

Thy Burning said:

"I understand the fear, especially with poor access to anti-venom. But killing should really be a last resort. Staying far away and calling trained help where possible is still the safest option."

"I get your point, personal safety has to come first, especially where help is far away. Misidentifying a snake can be deadly, so caution over confidence makes sense. If escape or professional help is possible, that’s always the safest route."
