CultureHow Well Do You Know Igbo Tradition? This Will Help You. by Anoruo(op): 1:21pm On Jul 11, 2016
In the traditional Igbo calendar a week (Igbo: Izu) has 4 days (Igbo: Ubochi) (Eke, Orie, Afọ, Nkwọ), seven weeks make one month (Igbo: Ọnwa), a month has 28 days and there are 13 months a year. In the last month, an extra day is added. The traditional time keepers in Igboland are the priests or Dibia.

No. Months (Ọnwa) Gregorian equivalent
1 Ọnwa Mbụ (February–March)
2 Ọnwa Abụo (March–April)
3 Ọnwa Ife Eke (April–May)
4 Ọnwa Anọ (May–June)
5 Ọnwa Agwụ (June–July)
6 Ọnwa Ifejiọkụ (July–August)
7 Ọnwa Alọm Chi (August to early September)
8 Ọnwa Ilo Mmụọ (Late September)
9 Ọnwa Ana (October)
10 Ọnwa Okike (Early November)
11 Ọnwa Ajana (Late November)
12 Ọnwa Ede Ajana (Late November to December)
13 Ọnwa Ụzọ Alụsị (January to early February)

The names of the days have their roots in the mythology of the Kingdom of Nri. Eri, the sky-descended founder of the Nri kingdom, had gone on to break the mystery of time and on his journey he had saluted and counted the four days by the names of the spirits that governed them, hence the names of the spirits eke, orie, afọ and nkwọ became those of the days of the week. The days also correspond to the four cardinal points, Afọ corresponds to north, Nkwọ to south, Eke to east, and Orie to west. These spirits, who were fishmongers, were sent down by Chukwu (Great God) in order to establish markets throughout Igboland which they did by selling fish.

While there are four days, they come in alternate cycles of "major" and "minor", giving a longer eight day cycle

An example of a month: Ọnwa Mbụ

Eke Orie Afọ Nkwọ

11 12 13 14
15 16 17 18
19 20 21 22
23 24 25 26
27 28

The Igbo calendar is not universal, and is described as "not something written down and followed ... rather it is observed in the mind of the people.

ok

The genset was switched on because DPO is on duty and they need to type some report.
The chain was appointed as the environment is prone to crimes from officers and inmates.
If you look closer at the burglary holding the chain, you would realise that there has been an attempted assassination by unidentified person(s).
