My own town Oraukwu in idemili north local government area of anambra, we have so many minor deities but the superior/major of them all is the NWOCHA ORAUKWU- A Female deity. Very powerful and as myth has it, she protects us in the olden days from enemies invasion.

Virus nwa-mama,ebe ka itinyee isi,nwanne m ?? Ok,the most famous deity in Umuoji is the "Ogwugwu Okodu" but each and every hamlet has her own deity also named after the famous Nri deity (Ogwugwu).

In Arochukwu, the two most prominent deities are Kamalu (deity of strength) and Chukwu Abiama (supreme deity). Aside from these two, there are numerous minor deities that are either inyamavia (deities that are said to provide good business fortune) or personal deities (which typically exist in family compounds as masks, gongs, trees, and etc).

In the olden days, upon returning from a long journey, a man would make a small sacrifice [usually of animal's blood] to his personal arunsi along with a pouring of libations in order to thank his ancestors and that particular deity for safely guiding him home.

"Imo Oka" is a very prominent deity in Oka area.

Can we talk about the ukwu-oji deity. I've heard some weird things about it.

Anybody with knowledge about its history should hala at me.

N'ala Umunze arusi ndi kachasi bu: izo mmiri, udo, obibiaku.

Nke bu isi buruzia izo mmiri.
Enwekwara ndi Umunze ebe a?

Mine in Abagana, Anambra is called Ede Aro.
The god is celebrated every 28th of December yearly
with masquerades from different villages competing against themselves.
