We are going to have a deep discussion on mariners to know who they are. This discussion is so important as it has to do with humanity and spirits. First of all, get to understand that water is a spirit. mmiri bụ mmụọ. This spirit was before creation as it was created by nothing but itself. That is to say, water existed on its own. Water conquered the universe when nothing was in place, before creation took place. Water was the first dwelling place of the spirits. All spirits dwelt on water body, in pool of darkness until the most high Chi Ukwu Okike, the great eze dibịa assembled all spirits bodies (on water) and made his intentions known to them.

One may ask, what was this intention? He said, I want to cause creation.
This intention didn’t go down too well to the belly of some spirits while others accepted to join the call for creation. Those who accepted he took and revealed his plans to them and they began.
Others were watching as creation took place until all things was perfected to his glory.

During creation he created a kingdom for himself where he called heaven. This is why after creation, instead of returning back to join the water spirits and dwell on water bodies he took abode in heaven alongside other spirits. Who are these spirits that sojourned him to heaven? They were spirits that helped during creation. Some of them he created and some existed prior to creation as said earlier.

The spirits that joined him to heaven he called ANGELS _ MMỤỌ INYEAKA/MMỤỌ OZI.
Others who refused to joined him to his heavenly kingdom even though they helped creation are all known as HOLY SPIRITS _ MMỤỌ NSỌ. Before creation, all divine entities agreed on how things are to function, given freedom for all creatures. This agreement is the reason no spirit should cease air at his will without approval of others. No spirit should cease sun without the knowledge and approval of others. Etc.

This government they left for nature!Spiritual union was so strong that none does anything without the approval of others. They employed wisdom in all their dealings for the purpose of eternity. Wisdom was their stronghold, councilor and mother of success. Wisdom was there right from the beginning and to the end of creation, making sure all things came to perfection. This truth human must know for they were created in the image of the gods. When all things was created and behold they looked and all was good and beautiful but none to look after them. He ‘chi ukwu okike’ called on them and said, let us make man in our own image. They agreed! In their great assembly he bent down as an artist, he drew an image on the ground. In their likeness the drawing took form, haven hands, legs, nose, mouth, head, belly, etc.

When he was done and behold it was perfectly drawn. He breathed life into the nostril and there was a vibration. The image vibrated and the earth took form of a man and he stood up fit before them. They all rejoiced and he called him Adam _ nwoke mbụ (because he took form of male – he was like the gods).He took him to a beautiful garden where he was given the space to name all animals created. From time to time he do visit the man (Adam) for fun and pleasure. During these period of visit, the commissioner renders account of the day to him and stand to gain directives from the master.

Until one day he chi ukwu okike has a reason to find a helper for Adam whom he said can’t be left alone.
How did he know? There was no intention for another creation like the man (Adam) until he (Adam) founds no companion among all animals (created). This the great eze dibịa, chi ukwu Okike saw that made him cause sleep to the man (Adam). He took a rib from his body and closed the part, used it to form another person. When Adam woke up from sleep and saw her, he rejoiced and said, this is from me, my rib. She shall be called Eve _ Nwanyị mbụ.

Human creation right from the day of creation is full of mystery. Seeing the possibility, the gods found pleasure sending messengers from different realms/kingdoms to the world. These messengers when they visit, take formation of humans through birth and otherwise. Its well understood that not all who live today and have lived where born while some and greater percent was born. So many realms/kingdoms like marine kingdom sent so many messengers in the world. Many came from heaven too: born and unborn.These are people who made our world today in person and are humans. True information that made our world and human race a mystery. While this messengers are of great importance is to help true purpose for creation, which is growth and eternity. The world, earth is a field that deserve labourers.

Adam was created for life eternity like the gods, but this eternity was left for a merit not for granted. Do understand, spirits never give to one anything one do not deserve. When he (Adam) was placed on the garden where he has all things, among the plant trees in the garden are fruits of knowledge of good and evil.

One may ask why the first man was placed on trier? The reason is to help prove himself worthy for life eternity. Creation itself wasn’t easy, the reason it lasted for days and still count. The guardian been the man must prove his worth to see if he deserve eternity. If he was not tested, leaving with fruits of knowledge of good and evil, there is no how to prove his fidelity that warrant his life eternity: thus he was tested!

Lucifer a wise angel wished rulership. All the spirits has seen the future hence in the realm of spirit, there is no secret. He (Lucifer) then set for the man. To do this, asked for wisdom. He lost the ability to come direct to the man and the woman in person for the fear of his greatness. Man is higher, greater than the angels. Knowing this, he (Lucifer) sought for the services of human pet. Among consultants, serpent was approved.

Serpent has a sweet tongue, one of the most wisest of all animals. Very crafty and smart. He (Lucifer) never wanted another angel to know his intentions for the fear of unknown, he consulted the serpent. Serpent, seeing and hearing from higher being lost the sense of refusal even though he could. He perfected the mission and Eve was deceived to eat the fruit which was forbidden.

Eve wasn’t ignorant of the fruit reading from her questions, but was curious over knowledge. Serpent lied to her, disguising the truth which is death penalty as attached to the fruit which was proclaimed by the great eze dibịa, chi ukwu okike. The moment she was deceived not to die but to get wider knowledge over the activities of the world, she was glad and has to pluck the fruit and ate.
Tested and seen that she didn’t die instantly, she kept remainder for Adam. Other immorality took place at...

Lies

There I was, excited to be reading and learning the Igbo account of the Creation, and bam! Adamu and Ivuu and sepant happened
Well most Africans practice syncretism (whether they know this or not)
However an account of the Creation according to Igbo, Yoruba and other lores would be lovely
Remember, the world would/can never respect a people without their own stories, beliefs, philosophies, and tenets
I am sure there is no Adam, or Eve in the Igbo language
