I saw shege – Nigerian lady shares her snake bite story

A Nigerian lady, Prisca Amara Ewin, has recalled her experience after she was bitten by a snake.

She shared her story in a Facebook post on Sunday, February 1, 2026, following the tragic d3ath of aspiring Nigerian singer, Ifunanya Nwangene.

Nwangene was bitten by a snake while asleep at her home in Abuja on January 31 and later d!ed during medical treatment. 

Recalling her own experience, Prisca said the incident occurred in 2019 while visiting her sister who had a baby.

Prisca said she was going to check who was at the gate after hearing a knock, when the snake lurking at the stair, attacked her. 

“Seeing different post about snake just took me back to 2019,” she wrote.

“Oct/Nov 2019, I can’t remember the exact month. I was in my sisters house in Lokoja because she just had a baby and my mom came for Omugwo too.

“Just one night, around 8-8:30. We were about eating when we heard a knock at the gate.

“I came out to check who it was not knowing that this monster had already positioned itself at the stairs waiting. And just few steps down the stairs, it attacked immediately.

“The pains i went through during this period ehhh. I saw shege.

“Is there anything that chases them away? I think this is their season.”
