my contribution: i am Ibo from delta state...i love my heritage and that is one of the reason i came back to Nigeria. i have a mixed race son back in the UK and would like to know about my heritage so i can pass it on to him...

i think we have not still gasp the whole message..Christians, Muslims and modern day traditionalists...we should not forget that the words of God always comes from the mouth of men. most times they pass this message using parables..for you to get the message of God or the spiritual messages in the parable you have to be thought by the diviner or spiritualist.

each culture has their way of telling their parables, i as an Ibo will find it hard to understand a Yoruba parable unless a Yoruba man/woman explains it to me..because to do so i will need to understand the Yoruba numerology, symbolism and iconography..it is even harder if it is a foreign one..take for example..the symbol for wisdom in my place is the tortoise...and we have our own numerology..the number 7 is regarded as a perfect number so is 4..so if i say ''Mr okafor has 7 tortoise'' you wont understand if you are not from my place..you will keep asking..what Mr okafor is doing with 7 tortoises...this kind of understanding gives rise to religion..
we have to see the scriptures with our spiritual eyes..not the physical one..so when the bible writers say Solomon had 700 wives, if you dont know the numerology and symbolism of the Jews, you wont understand the message in the story. to the Jews the symbol for wisdom is woman...wife simply mean a legal bed mate..so the 700 wives will mean something a good or perfect wisdom and the 300 concubines will be like imperfect wisdom.

that said...the Gods in the world are all the same but different nomenclature..that means Chukwu is Eledumare, is Osanobua is Osalobua is Ra is Marduk is Kronos is Odin....just the nomenclature.. and those cultures has built their own story using the elements of their culture..the stories are different, but the message is the same....The creator God is the same different name by different cultures..different stories or parables same message..

The name Chukwu was in existence ages before the white man came to Africa...He was a God worshipped by the igbos...get your facts right before commenting.

because i think d post is nice doesnt mean i agree with idol worship. I think its nice because its educative especially for those of us interested in history and anthropology. If not for anything ar least its not another big beother naija post or killing of another snake or tonto dike or apostle suleman. So with this few points of mine i hope i've been able to convince and not confuse u that this is indeed a nice post.... thank u

I think the point he's trying to make is that Chukwu abiama was never represented as an idol,he was believed to be a formless great spirit, mbari were set up in his dedication containing all other idols,but he was just represented by a big Nsibidi mark.
Even in Arochukwu, there are no idols to symbolize him.

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
