TINALETC3:Nnamdi is a Jew or Christain,your question should rather be "where was Jesus/Jehovah when he was arrested?" When good things happen,you praise foreign gods,when bad things happen,you blame your indigenous gods.. Typical of a biased brainwashed religious extremist.

venai: what's my pain in your ignorance. It's quite exciting to see people of lesser minds like you because it shows there are only a few with abilities to reason. It's a privilege seeing a multitude of your kind. The world is a pyramid, a few who sit at the top and a majority of ignorant people below...Thats how the world roll. Majority are to be kept ignorant to keep the balance. Ever wonder why majority follow one religion or the other dogmatically? It's because majority are meant to be fooled thinking their numbers make them right But don't worry my friend, you and many others will never comprehend what I've written.....for ignorance is bliss...enjoy 5 Likes |

maj007: Don't let jealousy eat you up faster than you digest knowledge. I'm not saying the Igbos are Jews or related but going by your point of dismissal on that claim it is important to remind you that the Jews were not faithful in the worship of GOD and have worshiped many strange gods both known and unknown to foreign lands. 1 Like 1 Share |

There is no Igbo God known as Chukwu. The Aros who are at the extreme of Igboland and comprise of families with Igbo and Ibibio roots own the Chukwu or Ubini Ukpabi deity which became popular as the Aros spread across Igboland and beyond. Chukwu bi n'Aro was not moved elsewhere but people from different ethnic groups in asouthern Nigeria often traveled on pilgrimage to consult the Chukwu at Aro. The Aros later established the Amadioha and Igwekali at Ozuzu in Etche and Umunoha in Isu. |

222Martins:Ogwu n' ofor are not gods of themselves, but totem items symbolizing justice and fairness, every Igbo man has his own ofor n' ogwu in his Obi,they were totems not gods of their own selves. A man's Of or is handed to his Oldest Son when he dies as a sign of authority in the household, and the power to dispense justice. It is Ala or Amadioha that exacts punishment when ogwu N' Ofor are transgressed. Titled men carried the white tusk as a symbol of Ofor, to signify that they are Men of intergrity and honour.who don't cheat. Yagazie. 3 Likes 1 Share |

TINALETC3:Calm down, this is igbo mythology. That your people have destroyed relics and archaeological artifacts does not mean they never existed. It convenient to swoon over zeus, Hercules and thor with their modernized and sexualized spins, but mention genuine igbo history and you all go churchy, calling them demons. What i care about is history, let it survive enough for my kids to truly know where they come from. In a few years, Igbo land will hypocritically be all about churches... sad 5 Likes |

marshborn:Actually igwekali is considered to be the husband of Ala,Amadioha became popular with the rise of the power and influence of the shrine in Ozuzu in etche.and igwekali is nowadays mostly known by those who have studied Odinani.. Igwe is still the word used to the heavens as opposed to the earth,if the sky don't rain ,the earth will not produce. Amadioha his brother is more correctly described as a thunder god,a god of War and retribution. A defender of the weak and hopeless,this is what omenala teaches. Yagazie. 2 Likes |

JideAmuGiaka:You are actually right...Chukwu in Igbo mythology is actually unseen and in the sky. Either Amadioha or Igwe were depicted in mouldings because they were said to be married to Ani I think. Ekwensu was the Igbo version of red loki, the god of mischief and was not necessarily the symbol of evil as predicted. He was also a god of deals and agreements. 1 Like |

Abagworo:Please stop spreading misinformation by bending half truths,the worship a and belief in chukwu okike abiama spread thru out Igboland to other ethnicities. So much so,that he was regarded by all to be the all mighty creator,the great faceless formless spirit,though he is often described as male,the one belief is synonymous everywhere Igbo is spoken or understood. That why the easiest way to get to interpret the Christian God to igbos was to use words and concepts they already understood. Historically,the shrine existed in many communities as a dedication to him,but the main one was at Arochukwu (lLong Juju).people deferred to it as a sort of traditional Supreme Court whose judgement was final. Also the Aros did not establish the Amadioha at Ozuzu or the Igwekali at Isu..please stop bending the truth, Yagazie 1 Like |
