i for one am super duper grateful for this thread...May God reward everyone that joined hand to teach people like me in this thread (wanted to write that in Igbo but nna e hard) For people like us that were raised up in diaspora and we have not had the luxury of seating with elders threads like this are very necessary Biko Ndi'Igbo ekwela ka Omenala anyi na asusu anyi laba n'ime mmiri....we have a duty to keep our history evergreen To the bloody hypocrites that are coming here to derail the thread, nobody is dragging Jesus with you, this is history and education not a chest beating contest...i am sure 90% of you shouting Jesus here now if una jam ISIS una go recite Quran finish In-fact i suggest a season film on our deities should be started, i believe the stories will make a block buster and go platinum...we have a lot of stories to tell 6 Likes |

realmindz: you obviously did not read to comprehend my post,different story same message....the Noah story is basically to teach you the truth that the God that creates is the same God that destroys too..not two, but one..we also have a story in our traditional religion telling us the same message. one God that has the power to create and destroy....the Adam story too is about knowing what is good but choosing to don the opposite..we also have that in our own mythology about Ogun and oromila, different story but same message....you wont expect the Yoruba and the Jews or the Egyptian to have the same name for their Gods... http://www.dummies.com/education/history/world-history/gods-and-goddesses-of-greek-and-roman-mythology/ that is just for the Greeks and roman...you dont expect them to have same name in Yoruba or Ibo or Benin tradition..they are all same God different names and different esoteric stories but always same message... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Yoruba_deities that is the yoruba equivalent...compare... |

SilvanusII:So the airhead finally learnt something that made sense in school. Thank God o BTW,when did Ajaka become known as Dada? |
Re: Highlighting Two Igbo Deities And Their Significance To Their Followers (Pics) by SilvanusII(m): 8:08pm On Apr 07, 2017 |
Dhugal: If only u mattered in the general scheme of things. Sadly u don't. I mean, I don't even know you. But you must be pretty daft to think having more than name started with ur generation. Ajaka carried dreadlocks and became a 'dada' by default (oruko amutorunwa). Don't be touting ur ignorance. |
Re: Highlighting Two Igbo Deities And Their Significance To Their Followers (Pics) by Dhugal: 8:47pm On Apr 07, 2017 |
SilvanusII:I expected you to live up to your post history as an uncouth fellow and you didn't disappoint. Indeed,Ajaka "carried dreadlocks" and Sango was born with shuku. Who's made-up history have you been reading/listening to? |

SilvanusII:Stalker from where?. Are you smoking wet weed or something?. I asked you what version of history you've been reading and you supply me with unreliable sites?. daily mail.com.ng,ooduarere.com?.WTH are those?. If this is a measure of your education,then I'm afraid you got cheated.See if you can gain what fees you paid for it back. |

obiezed: Many of you write without knowledge. Igbos called God different names at the periphery but Orisa/Olisa was the name of the supreme God until Aros came with Chukwu. Who established Amadioha and Igwekana if not Aros? |

Okay I stumbled upon this and feel it's worth reading for every Igbo, Ijaw or Ibibio. https://books.google.com.ng/books?id=pIR-mgBiJ-gC&pg=PA28&lpg=PA28&dq=aro+amadioha&source=bl&ots=v2oiimBUi4&sig=4YBt2sAN5gEchpDcTXW7iuZScBk&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj12O6_g5fTAhXF0hoKHX-PDMgQ6AEIHzAI#v=onepage&q=aro%20amadioha&f=false |
Re: Highlighting Two Igbo Deities And Their Significance To Their Followers (Pics) by KemjikaEme: 6:28pm On Jan 08, 2018 |
Abagworo:Common sense should tell any good igbo scholar that Olisa is a variant word for Orisha most common amongst igbos located in close proximity to Benin and Yoruba. The concept of a Supreme Being known as Chineke, Ekekereuwa and Chukwu Okike has always existed amongst the Igbos. With the rise of Aro hegemony,an oracular shrine of Chukwu was built and served in various capacities including being used to deceive unsuspecting people who were then sold into slavery. Christianity only pushed the religious propaganda that Chineke or Chukwu as the only God that deserve human worship while succeeding to totally obliterate the existence,importance and worship of the lesser deities and spirits of Igboland. In other words, christian missionaries imposed the idea of Chineke/Chukwu/Olisa or whatever people call him as the one and only true God while other gods were treated as mere idols. That being said, the concept and belief in a supreme being such as Chineke , Olisa etc is as old as Igbo land. It never started in Aro. History revisionism is crazy! |
