Alimgonga mjomba wangu mpaka leo mkono ni mlemavu alitumwa jikoni kumbe jamaa alifuata joto hakuvunga alipogonga akatoka kuelekea zizi la ng'ombe akajikunyata hapo tukamuua. Nadhani huwa wanachoka sana wanapong'ata vifutu huwa hawaendi mbali.

Bora ukutane na wasiojulikana kuliko huyu kwanza yeye good morning wala good afternoon hajui yeye ni goodbye tu
Katika ulimwengu wa nyoka huyu anaongoza
Ana mbio za kasi na akikuwa anafika mpaka 14ft kwa urefu na kuuwa yeye ni kama alshabab vile
Akiamka asubuhi anapanda mti kutafuta afungue hicho kinywa wapi
Kuna kundi la Nyati wakiwa malishoni alitokea huyu jamaa yaani kuwaonesha tu kinywa chake kilichofanana na jeneza yaani hao Nyati walitoka mbio za ajabu na wengine kupamiana hovyo na kusababisha na mpaka faru kukimbia
Najiuliza kumbe hata wanyama wanajua jeneza ni kuzimu

Hahahah,,,eti mdomo wake upo kama jeneza

Tatizo wengi humu ni wanaume wa Dar wanaogopa hata mende

Labda niwafundishe tu kitu kimoja,
Nyoka ukitaka kumuua mpige sehemu yoyote ile hata mkiani, yaani ukishampiga tu ataanza kujibiringisha sababu ya maumivu,


Na hapo ndo unapopaswa kuendeleza mashambulizi,

Huyu KOBOKO kwetu Tunamwita KISANGA na hata Wamasai wakisikia tu hilo jina basi wataanzisha harakati za kumuwinda, wasipomuua ndani ya siku mbili au tatu basi lazima wahame,

Na hao mnaowaita KIFUTU si kwetu tunawaita MOMA hawa bwana kuwakuta ndani ya Nyumba yako ni kitu cha kawaida haswa majira ya Kiangazi, utakuta ukifungua mlango tu ili uingie ndani kama ni usiku au mchana lazima akukaribishe ndani, utasia FOOOOOO, Hapo unajua ndani kuna ugeni, ili kujua eneo alipo wee utaendelea kufuata hiyo sauti maana akihisi unamkaribia na yeye anazidi kufoka, hivyo hapo kuna mawili,

Umtimue atoke nje (kwa kuchoma Chumvi ya mawe kwenye moto) au umuue

Ila ukweli hawa KOBOKO ni hatari sana maana siku hiyo nakumbuka nilikuwa napita tuu njiani nikakutana nae na yeye alikuwa anavuka kuniona badala ya kuendelea na safari yake akasimama yaani kaziba njia kabisa hakuna kupita, nikaagiza ikabidi nimwambie dogo lete Fimbo

Kuna mwingine alikuwa anakuja kuuza dawa za nyoka ye alikuwa anakuja na KOBOKO

Katika NYOKA wote aliokuwa nao huyo ndo alikuwa hamtoi ovyo maana nakumbuka kuna siku ile kumtoa tu akaanza kutoka nduki kilichosaidia aliwahi kumdaka,huyu jamaa watu tulimnyooshea mikono, maana hatujui yule mdudu kamkamata vipi na kamtoaje sumu maana mziki wake sio wa kitoto

Mkuu nimekupata vyema,

Kwaiyo wewe koboko unamuona kama mdudu 'jongoo' au?

 

[Black Sniper]

Hahahah,,,eti mdomo wake upo kama jeneza

Kweli msomi wangu
Hebu angalia hizi picha mbili mimi naona mdomo ndio umekaa kama jeneza ingawa wengine wanaona kichwa ndio kimefanana
Wewe utaamua pia

Kwa hiyo hapo umewaweka wanaume wa Dar hawawezi kitu lakini umejisahau ukawaponda tena wamasai kwa kusema wasipomuona siku ya tatu wanahama.
Kwa hiyo hao wamasai ndio waliohamia Dar ama?

Nyoka hakuambii njoo tuzipige mkuu bali anakuvizia sasa hapo unatembea kichakani unategemea akuambie oyaa unataka tuliamsheee

Wamasai hawaami kuogopa Nyoka, ila wanahama kunusuru mifugo yake, kumbuka mifugo ndo kinachosababisha masai kuishi porini na ndio utajiri wake,

Masai yupo tayari kuua mtu ili Mifugo yake iwe salama,

Kwa hiyo sijawaponda ila nmeandika uhalisia

Ooh nimekuelewa vizuri
Ila nyoka hana mbabe kwani anavamia bila hodi unless uwahi kumuona na kumshambulia
Lakini watu wengi ni waoga wa viumbe wakali na nyoka ni baadhi ya hao wabaya

 

[Mgugu]

Kuna kisa kimoja cha mzungu na koboko huko Botswana ninakitafuta ilinikthibitishe halafu nikilete hapa.

Huyu hayawani akisha zeeka hua ana roho mbaya sijapata kuona,
wakati mwingine hua anasikia raha tu jinsi anavyowapa wenzie busu la kifo.
Kwetu kolomije huwa wanakawaida ya kuning'inia juu ya mti kwenye njia wanayopita watu, ukijichanganya ukakatiza sehemu alipo basi ni lazima akupe busu la kichwa na hio ndio inakua safari yako ya kuelekea kuzimu moja kwa moja,
Ikishatokea hivyo wazee wetu hua nao hawakubali lazima tulale nae mbele kwa mbele,
Utapikwa uji halafu unawekwa kwenye chungu na kuachwa kama dakika 5 hivi ili ile layer ya juu ya uji igande isiweze kupandisha mvuke wa moto juu, baada ya hapo anachaguliwa kijana mmoja anajitwishwa chungu cha uji na kukatisha eneo hilohilo alipong'atwa mwenzetu,koboko na roho mbaya yake atagonga ndani ya chungu na hio inakua ni zamu yake na yeye kupigwa busu na uji wa moto, taratibu anajiachia wenyewe kutoka kwenye mti na kuanza kuogelea kwenye swimming pool ya uji wa moto na huo ndio unakua mwisho wake, bila yakumuua hapo anaweza akawagonga hata watu 10 eneo hilohilo.
Yaani sisi wasukuma pamoja na kua ndio kabila maarufu lenye utamaduni wa kufuga na kuchezea nyoka ktk ukanda wote wa afrika mashariki lakini kwa huyu kiumbe anaeitwa black mamba hatutaki kabisaaaa mazoea nae.

Soma hichi kisa.

It was about midday on a Thursday in January 1998 when Danie Pienaar came face to face with a black mamba and its bite. Danie, now head of Scientific Services in the Kruger National Park, was a student at the time and tracking white rhinos near the Phabeni tributary, south of Pretoriuskop.

The water was deep and he was looking for a place to cross the stream.
"I remember there were reeds on my side, when I saw a brown movement and saw the snake disappear into the reeds' he said. He identified the black mamba but initially thought nothing of it other than that it was a huge snake.

He was alone and was wearing shorts. A few paces on he recalls feeling a burning sensation on the side of his leg, under the knee. "Subconsciously, perhaps I knew I was bitten because two strides on I stopped to check." He found four blue-purple holes and a drop of blood and had his worst suspicion confirmed.

The first symptoms appeared quickly. He had a bad taste in his mouth, almost like metal, and 'pins and needles' in his fingertips and lips. It soon became worse and later it "felt like all the hair on my body stood up." "I realized the venom was doing its damage." Being alone, far from the bakkie and with no medical equipment on hand Danie faced daunting decisions.

He only had a gun, a knife and the tracking equipment. "I was relatively sure I was not going to get to help in time." For a brief time he considered settling under a tree and writing farewell notes to friends and family. Fortunately, the desire to survive burned stronger and he decided to try and reach the bakkie.

"If I had died there, a rescue team would not even know where to have started looking for me." In the meantime he tried, knowing it was not the right thing to do, to open the bite marks with his knife - with little success. He tied his belt around his upper leg and with the tourniquet in place made a quick note of what had happened to him. Leaving all else behind, he took his gun and compass and ventured back to the bakkie.

"It was extremely difficult as I deliberately forced myself to walk and breath slowly to try and slow my heartbeat down." He was sweating badly and by that time had tunnel vision as the poison attacked the smaller muscles. He finally arrived at the bakkie and attempted the closest route to a tourist road, using the fire breaks and, at times, almost getting stuck in streams. "I probably planed them," he said.

Reaching the tourist road, he could not find anyone and it was near Shaben Koppies that the first car came by. "They must have thought a weirdo was on the attack as I was doing130km an hour, forced them off the road, jumped out without a shirt and gun in hand.'

The two ladies and a gentleman rushed him to Pretoriuskop where he found ranger, Tom Yssel. He explained what had happened and recalls how Tom told his wife: "A black mamba has bitten Danie," not thinking that their eldest son is also named Danie, and she thought he meant the boy.

The doctor in Skukuza advised them to go to Nelspruit, but that a helicopter was not available and they had to go by car. The trip to Nelspruit, in a friend of Tom's Combi, was done in record time, with a police escort around White River helping them on. He arrived at the hospital, about two hours after the time he had been bitten. By this time, the symptoms had intensified, but he could still communicate sufficiently to tell the doctors what had happened.

Because of the time frame, they were skeptical, and told him he would be 'monitored carefully'. "Even my father, when speaking to me on the phone, tried to convince me it was not a black mamba."

As the doctors removed the tourniquet, his condition deteriorated rapidly. Suddenly he could not swallow, and his speech slurred. He tried to tell Tom not to switch the machines off, as he remembered how a snake expert in the Magaliesburg had an experience where he could hear the people contemplating switching the life-support off as they thought he was in a coma.

The doctors put him on the ventilator and he was briefly knocked-out. When he came to, he was completely paralyzed, yet he could touch, hear and see everything. "I could only see if they lifted my eyelids to check my pupils, but there was nothing wrong with my sight," he said.

It was the same situation as the man from Magaliesburg. He was restrained to the bed and recalls how his sweat dammed on the plastic sheeting in the hollow of his bed. The fan was on and he was freezing, but could not do anything. By 18h00 that night, his friend Dewald Keet visited. He urged Danie to try giving him an indication if he can hear anything.

"With great difficulty I managed to slightly move a foot," which Dewald luckily noticed. They then realized he was not in a coma. Slowly he regained more muscle function, as the venom molecules were flushed out of his system. The following morning his parents had arrived. He was still on the ventilator and not fully recovered from the paralysis.

"Being attached to the ventilator with a thick pipe down my throat was the worst part physically," says Danie. The pipe was removed on the Saturday and he left for Pretoria in his parents' care on Monday. He never received any antivenin. Other than the sweating that continued for some time and the bite marks that remained purple for a while, Danie suffered no consequences.

On his first day back in the field, the first thing he encountered was a black mamba in the road! A few months later he told the story to a friend, who happened to have a similar experience soon after and was able to tell the doctor what had happened without having seen the snake that had bitten him. The doctor, after examination and questioning him, administered the antivenin which saved his life.

Danie believes he survived for a number of reasons. "Firstly, it was not my time to go." The fact that he stayed calmed and moved slowly definitely helped. The tourniquet was also essential.

"It was not easy to stay calm," he says. "It was almost as if I dislodged myself from my body and was talking to someone else the entire time." "I also knew snakes and have never been scared of them," he said. The experience has not left Danie with antagonism towards the black mamba. "Snakes do not eat people. I was on my way and cut the snake off from where it wanted to go."

Dawa yake ni kutembea na chungu kichwani chenye uji wa moto au choroko za moto..akiingiza kichwa kutaka kugonga kichwani anaungua..

 

[imhotep]

Katika maneno yake mwenyewe tukio hili lilitokea huko Zimbabwe


Driving from Victoria Falls to our base in Kasane I saw what looked like a pipe in the road. As I got up close I realised it was a snake - and a huge one at that. I was too late to avoid it and the tyres went over the mid sections. In the split second of driving over it I saw it rear off the ground towards me but I must have caught it high enough for it not to reach. In the split second I was able to identify it as a Mamba.

I slowed down and turned back to see what damage had been done to the snake, but after a fruitless search I gave up and turned back towards Kasane. I am not really sure what spurred the thought but the 'what if' scenario suddenly hit me. What if the snake was under the car and coming through the engine cover? What if I was trapped in the car with a really pissed off Black Mamba?

Fear does strange things to people and I was now in a state of panic. Jumping out the car I moved quickly away a distance and waited - until I realised I was still close to where I had run the snake over. 'What if'? Oh boy!

It must have been a Mr Bean like comedy on the road that day but after calming down I got back in the vehicle and slowly drove off, with an occasional glance at the engine cover.

Koboko alivyokuwa sharp anaweza kukugonga akasepa bila wewe kujua.

 

[boaz mwalwayo]

Nyoka mwenda wazimu black mamba nikichaa kweli kweli

 

[Yamakagashi]

Nyoka wengi hua wana aibu na huwa wa kwanza kuretreat unless wawe cornered, koboko hajui kuretreat, ana accuracy, speed na bado yeye ndiyo ataanzisha ugomvi.

Iwe iwavyo ninachojua hachomoki mbele ya honey badger.

Samahani sijui ushaangalia kipindi cha snakes in the city ? Nat Geo ?

Mbona yule jamaa huwa anawashika black mamba kirahisi tu hata awe aggressive au wounded ?

Mnaposema Mamba huwa yeye anaanzisha tu vita vyovyote vile napata wakati mgumu kuwaelewa

I realised it was a snake - and a huge one

Naam! mzungu anakiri mwenyewe kuwa Koboko huyo alikuwa amekomaa.

Anashika mamba wadogo mno tena kwa umakini sana

Jasho huwa linamtoka na yeye mwenyewe anakiri kuwa huwa anacheza na kifo.
