EKPO NKA AGWO"

Ekpo Nka Agwo The Deity That Expose And Punish Infidelity Among Married Women In Akwa Ibom state

Ekpo Nka Agwo, the Ibibio and Annang ancestral spirits or ghosts of adultery.

Ekpo Nka Agwo regulate, check, expose, and punish infidelity among authentically married women, in order to maintain the sanctity of marriage among the Ibibio.

According to Ibibio and Annang mythology, in Akwa Ibom state and some parts of Cross River, if a married woman commit adultery and refuses to admit her infidelity for possible cleansing, she dies during childbirth or lose her children.

It been believe that their souls will be claimed by the deity.

In the other hand, if a man is aware of his wife's adulterous ways and fails to expose her, Ekpo Nka Agwo will in return claim his soul. So many lives have been lost as a result of this.

Same deity should also caution the men to keep their Gbola solely for their wives.


Our ancestors were really biased against the women folks.

They were not biased. It’s a method to keep their women in check. What about DNA test of today? Is it biased against women?

Exactly.

Perhaps you do not have any idea how these things are done. To run a DNA test, the man must take the child to the hospital. Also to run the traditional gimmick(like you called it) it is the man that involves the woman, with her consent or her knowledge of such tradition. It has nothing to do with the gods. The gods can only come in when you bring the case to them just like when the man takes the child to meet a doctor for DNA test to be carried out.

Ned Okonkwo did it when he was getting married to Regina. She was aware and consented to it.

That is why I asked you how is it any different from todays DNA tests. It is the same but different method to put women in check. Women of older generations had no issues with the tradition because their “conscience” were clear too.

The african traditional marriage rites allows polygamy. That's the reason adultery was only enforced on women. Monogamy is a western culture.

With the level of adultery going on in Akwa Ibom now, I doubt this deity abi spirit is still alive. Or has it/he/she been converted to another religion?

Sex with another man mean nothing to some married women these days.

On a more serious note, most of the deaths during childbirth had little or nothing to do with "ekpo nka agwo". They were cases where modern medical practices would have averted. My opinion though!

Maybe when women start paying groom prices and performing traditional marriage rites for men, polyandry might be allowed for them.
Even the West that y'all are copying hook line and sinker don't practice polyandry.

Manipulate their women into serving the whims of the males right. You are right that DNA(science) doesn't do that. But how many of you can afford DNA, to begin with? Your gods forgot to help you with that. undecided

If the world was created that way, I wouldn’t have a problem with it. I will gladly do anything and everything my woman tells me to do, I will obey her, I will be submissive, I will be very happy to be under her authority.

But sadly the world isn’t created that way. We have to ask God some questions. cry

It’s funny Kobojunkie is accusing me of not making any sense when nothing ever makes sense to you on this platform. grin


Anyways, to make to clearer, I was saying that man was created by God to be superior to a woman. The arrangement on this plane is “Man 👉 Woman 👉 Children.


So if anyone born of a woman has a problem with men having superiority over women, please direct your anger and questions to God.

2. There are over 40,000 deities out there. You should know that you should not go around imposing your ideas of your own deity on others.

3. This is the problem with you religious individuals. You don't know how to separate your own delusions from the space that belongs to others. grin

Impose you say? But a woman has a choice to make. I mean the women facing these cultural imposition were very aware of what they were getting into. But guess what? They can’t stay being unmarried, hence they accepted it.

Regional Daniel, a very sweet and succulent young lady got married to her fathers age mate. She open heartedly accepted the cultural imposition from the man. She’s never to cheat on the man hence she’ll face the traditional consequences Like I said, She had a choice to make and She chose the gods way.

I see you have switched narratives now. No longer are all women subject to men as you formerly claimed but you seem to be arguing now that it is rather those women who specifically choose to live as subjects to men, having prior knowledge of what it is they are getting themselves into, that in fact are. undecided

Well, individually women are free to chose for themselves the kind of relationships they would fudge with even men. As long as their rights as humans aren't violate by such relationships, I have nothing against that. undecided
