MiracleMe7:

Thank you sir, I appreciate your wise counsel and educative analysis concerning omenala.
Honestly, this kind of thing are we Igbos that we're not close to our ancestral traditional religion supposed to know.

Many Igbos like me don't know our left and right in terms of our tradition because of the white religion we have embraced for such a long time now.

But, I am happy that I am heading in the right direction now.

God bless you more brother for this beautiful help.

You and @RoyalBoutique are the best. People that have the interest of his kinsmen at heart.

I have another question for you Sir;

As you have narrated all this things. I did not see where you mentioned the benefit of installing Agwu. What am I stand to gain when I install this agwu?

Once more I appreciate from down my deep heart
What your Agwu will do for you depends on how you wield It. So I can't tell you what it will do for you.

But here are the seven spirits of Agwu. Installing an Agwu allows you to wield all these powers

1. Agwu Nwoke

2. Agwu Nwanyi

These part of Agwu ensures you have both male and female children.

3. Uku na ije agwu

This part of agwu brings people to you to bless you like customers

4. Mpata aku agwu

This part of agwu ensures you have enough to eat. It's responsible for making you rich

5. Nkita agwu

This part of agwu fights your battle

6. Anyanwu agwu

Let say someone did you evil and you are innocent and you want to nack the person, this part of agwu will locate him before the nkita agwu use him do cruise. But make sure you're innocent.

If the guy is innocent and you send agwu, he'll go as long as you give him what he wants but the blood will be on your head. If unfortunately for you the guy has his agwu and "odi ire", his nkita agwu will fight back and your agwu will stand by because the innocent guy you are trying to hurt is innocent.

But bear in mind it'll not be between your agwu and his own agwu, his chi, ndi mmiri ya (if the person is from the water), the deities from his maternal and paternal places and other spirits he is loyal to will fight back because oji Ofor na Ogu.

But if you don't have your agwu yet but you're at peace with your chi and someone wrongs you and you are innocent.

Take a native egg not the normal fowl egg ooh, write person's name on the egg, look towards the sun and petition the person to Anyanwu na Agbara (Igbo sun deity), then break the egg.

Sip your Pepsi and leave the rest to Anyanwu.

7. Ikenga agwu

it makes your ikenga ka odi ire. So it's important to do your chi na ikenga before installing agwu

If you're nwa mmiri, you'll wield your Ikenga through the powers of your ndi mmiri, likewise those from other elements. That's why you'll also have to be at peace with your elements and the powers behind them

RoyalBoutique:
Oh, and one important thing.

God is God.

The number one in everything we do.

So if you learn how to goo orji, always thank God first, then thank your Chi second, before you thank any other spirit you have.

Remember, God is God ... God is not Jesus.

People always confuse Jesus and God to be the same thing.

Jesus had a beginning and an end.

God has no beginning and no end.

So they are not the same.
That is the confusion in Christianity.
Taking Jesus as God. And also that Jesus is a Son of God.

But we quote Bible where it is written that Jesus and God are ONE and no one comes to the Father (God) but through me.

So Christians took Jesus as God.

But Muslims don't do that mistake. They took Muhammed as a messenger of God.

Please answer me this question,
After I install agwu can I still do morning prayer with my family at home?

All these agwu you mentioned. Does it mean I will choose one of them among the ones I want to install?

Or is it that all of them are together inside the agwu I want to install?

Thank you bros

If I was to choose a western religion, I'll choose Islam.

Because the teachings are pure and unadulterated.

The teachings of christianity have been diluted over the years.

Anyway, traditional religion remains the best of the best.

It was put by God to work in our land.

@the bolded, you are really a true son of igboland.

You will never lack anything, as long as you keep your hands clean.

I did my chi and ikenga together, they share the same okposi.

As for MiracleMe7, I just wish he can forget about this western religions and face the traditional religion.

He will see the difference.

Some Chi's are not merciful o, my own Chi no dey hear word o.

Awgus mercilessness is on another level.
cheesy

Chi are the most merciful compared to all igbo deities, but they are very strict.

Agwu is one. What I listed are just different elements of Agwu. If you install one, you'll be able to wield all of them.

Ok sir, thank you for this explanations, I do really appreciate it. Please I need you also as a mentor concerning omenala. Please give me your WhatsApp number.

@RoyalBoutique has given me his own WhatsApp number.

Another question I want to ask is this;
After someone has finished his journey on earth at a very old age and leave this world.

Will the person's agwu disturb his children because the agwu is not being fortified again?

Yes. They have to take care of the agwu or they will do the rituals to peacefully send it away.

But I am not sure if the ritual works for Agwu, I am only sure of arusi apatara from other places. For instance, you can install Ajani Igbariam in your place and you can send it away when you don't need it again and it'll not hurt anyone.

But I am not sure of Agwu.

Point of correction, you're not fortifying agwu because you can't. You only FEED it.

I love being anonymous. Sorry about that.

I am not living in the village, I am far away from the northern part of the country.

Ori aku m, is a Christian, can never participate to pray with me with nzu, kola, and hot. She hates anything omen ala.

So can I pray personally with those things after we have finished an early morning family prayer?

Send Agwu away? ? ? Hell no!

It's just like saying you want to send your Chi away.

Agwu works closely with your Chi.

Agwu is like the Arusi of your Chi.

I can't really explain it well, cos it's very complicated.

One thing I know, with Agwu, you can never lack what you need in life.

If everyone is suffering, you will never suffer.

Any little effort you put in your work will be rewarded.

If you put in great effort in your work, you will be rewarded greatly.

Brother Royalboutique, the question I asked was that;

After someone finished his/her earthly journey at old age.
What will happen if the children don't want to continue feeding the agwu?

That is why @OfficialAPCNg answered that.
But do you know, what is the negative consequences if the children don't want to continue feeding the agwu?

I called the Ezeudo in the morning, the man is a good man based on how he answered me.
I will travel down to SE to go see him.

Thank you my kindhearted brother

Yeah.

That's why I said, I don't know if the ritual works for Agwu, but I am sure It works for other arusi.

Like I always say, people shouldn't do Agwu things if they are not ready.

I don't know what will happen if our kids don't feed our Agwu.

I really don't know, I'll ask Ezeudo.

Ok you called him? That's good. He's a very good man.

He takes pride in his work, doesn't put money first.

By "joining" with someone else doesn't mean that you'll both have the same luck.

It means the agwu is present there, so it's up to you to respect and follow what it says.

As long as you respect the agwu and do all you're supposed to do, you'll have unlimited luck.

Agwu has positively changed my life, ma family and I never lack anything we need.

When you do yours, you'll see what I mean.

1. How will someone knows what agwu is saying?

There are two ways to know; beginners and advanced.

As a beginner, you need to gbaa afa in order to listen to what the Agwu tells you.

As an advancement, once you're a pure omenala person (not tainted with Christianity or Islam or others), then you will always know when the Awgu talks to you.

2. How will someone respect the agwu?

By doing all it tells you to do.

By doing what you said you'll do (e.g let's say you want a car and you tell your Agwu that once it brings a car for you, you will give it a cow. Once the cow comes, just carry the cow immediately and give your Agwu. Failure to do so will lead to a disaster like you damaging the car in an accident, or you killing someone with your car e.t.c. And you know the bad thing? After all thes disasters happen, you will still give you Agwu it's cow, because that's what you promised. Failure to do so will cause more disaster. Outright refusal to do so will lead to your death.)

I'll take the bolded as "I don't want to suffer in this life again"

But you must work hard.

By "work hard", I mean that the little effort you put will be rewarded.

No matter how little your efforts are.

If you relax and do nothing, nothing will come for you.

If you do bad to people, bad things will come to you.

If you knowingly kill someone, your Agwu will kill you.

That's why it's complicated.

People run away from it, because they have bad intentions.

Keep your heart pure, think nothing bad for you fellow man and nothing bad will come to you.

Recognition goes a long way in the spiritual realm.

When you call her name, she knows you recognise her and her mermaids.

Have you ever listened to all these Igbo music where the musician greets a lot of wealthy Igbo people.

Then later, one of the wealthy guys sends money/cars to the musician just because his name was mentioned.

Recognition goes a long way.
