Should The Igbos Revive The Ancestral Worship Of Ekwensu For Political Gains? by Nobody: 5:39pm On Apr 21, 2012
The advent of trans atlantic slave trade in Africa also led to western colonialism in Africa . These phenomenon had led to the continous bastardazation of our indiginous religion and culture, politcal independence can only be complete with Religious and cultural independence. Odinala or Omenala is the traditional cultural believe and practices of the igbo people of west Africa. These terms as used here is synonymous with the traditional igbo religious system. Chukwu is the supreme deity in Odinani,in odinani each person has their own personal spiritual guardian called"chi" appointed to them before and at the time of their birth . A persons chi is analogous to the concept of a guardian angel in western christianity, daemon of Greek myth and the genius of Roman myth. Chukwu's incarnation in the world are the Alusi and the four top Alusi of the igbo pantheon are Ala,igwe,Anyanwu and Amadioha(kamalu). Ekwensu is an igbo deity with a convoluted modern identity among the christian igbo, this deity is misrepresented as the christian devil or satan and is seen as a force which places itself opposite to that of chukwu. This Alusi was adopted at bargains and trade. Praying to Ekwensu was said to guarantee victory in negotiation,Ekwunsu also represent a god of war. Other igbo Gods or Alusi are Njoku ji, Agwu Nsi,Ndebunze etc. Should we retrace our step and embrace the worship of our gods in place of the whiteman God(s) so as to uphold the universal integrity of the black race?

You, for all your interest in the matter, are not qualified to bring this up. Ekwensu is not the god of war, Ekwensu is the god(ess) of trickery, the One on Whose name you dare not swear an Iyi because no one knows how it will end. Also, Ekwensu's gender is ambiguos.
All who want to worship Ekwensu and any other alusi of our ancestors should not do so seeking political or material gain. They may not be able to bear the consequences.

You are an irredeemable disappointment to your forbearers. It tells on you level of intellect tp believe that shortened phrase such as “Ekwensu” is god or deity. Please refrain from displaying ignorance in the public.

belovedaja:

They already have.

Solodu is lamenting how Paganism and other voodoo diabolical practices are now the fastest growing religion not only in Anambra but across Igbo land.

As you can read from the OP, you will see that this reverting back to Igbo diabolical ritual paganism is rooted in rejection of modern European Christian and colonial ideals.

This rejection came about through that Child of perdition , Nnandi KANU who in his usual Radio Biafra broadcasts will insult Christ and the church and from there promote Judaism


This is what I have been warning of and we are here.

The Igbo will in the nearest future be one if the staunchest enemies and persecutors of the church.

Ekwensu is the Igbo devil from what I understand .

Since you are now all Jews , it is only natural you revive the Igbo devil as he us one and the same with the Jewish god, Lucifer.
