Libation by AloyEmeka9(op): 5:53pm On Apr 26, 2009
Una dey do libation for una culture? write down the incantations associated with it?. Did the imported religion affect the lyrics in libationary  incantations in your culture?

Typical Igbo libation[christianized version]:

Ala nuo mmanya
Olisa bi na elu lekwa
anyi ga adi,
Agbulu agozili agozi
Umu oma chineke hotaara onwe ya
Mba ndi nso
Ndi esiri na ochichi gbaputa na ife nke chukwu di egwu
Olisa i bu odogwu anya mmee
Ofu onye ana asi unu abiala
Ogbajiri igwe kpoo ya nku
Akum gbawara ugbo etc etc
