| Why Did Igbos Abandon Amadioha? by Kemetian(op): 6:49pm On Jun 27, 2025 |
I don’t understand why Igbos abandoned Amadioha. He was very great and potent. The God of thunder and justice. Amadioha is the Sky God, just like Shango. I’ve no idea why Igbos abandoned him. You should build temples to him, and create an ecosystem in which your traditional religion and philosophy are discussed, investigated and activated. The southwest are doing this in a big way. |

A Christian can be worshiping or referencing amadioha |

Because they were brainwashed! They call the Amadioha in their backyard the devil and a middle eastern man God. Tell me how more stupid humans can be. |

Igbo God is Chukwu/Chineke not Amadioha. There are many Chi (god) in Igboland which Amadioha is one of them. But the greatest of them all is Chi Ukwu normally written as Chukwu(God the greatest) or Chineke(God the creator) |

Carazon:if not for colonialism a full grown up like you should know his traditional beliefs. Chukwu is an Aro deity with its shrine located in Arochukwu,In Igbo cosmology we have many gods. mind you Chukwu is the same as Ubani Ukpabi (Long Juju) of the Ibibio people,the Aro just adopted it. Chi and Chukwu are not the same. Chi in Igbo cosmology can defined as (guardian spirit or destiny) |

CoronaVirusPro:That is so sad. Everywhere I look around the world, everyone is observing the religion of their ancestors. Except us! China - Buddhism, Taoism. India - Hinduism, Janism. Japan - Shintoism. Our own nko? And you wonder why we have problems. A tree without roots, or with imported, artificial roots, can never stand gidigba like a tree with roots grounded in the soil. How can you tell me that thousands of years of spiritual knowledge, and spiritual philosophy can just be thrown away because some idiots came from London with guns and bombs a mere century ago, carrying something they claimed was a ''holy book'' that did not prevent them massacring our ancestors to steal and loot our resources, in contravention of their ''holy book''. Obviously they knew their 'holy book' was a pile of crap. Something they used to disconnect Africans from their spiritual heritage, morals and power, and brainwash Africans to worship them instead (via their invented white man 'saviour' jesus). Thankfully Africans are waking up. So happy to learn that the Ooni of Ife has allocated 3 acres of land for the construction of the World Ifa Temple in Ile-Ife. That will be the first of many new Temples for Nigerian traditional religion. |

Christistruth00:Has 'Jesus' delivered you from Boko Haram, kidnappers, herdsmen, fraudsters, governmental corruption, Inflation, indiscipline, insecurity, banditry and poverty? Do you know that just using Opon Ifa or Ofo to swear-in politicians is enough to end or severely reduce all these problems I just listed? |

Carazon:This man doesn't even understand his own culture... Chukwu is the Supreme Being which is different from the Sky king who is actually a Prince (similar to a son of God) given dominion over the Earth. In christianity you actually worship the sky gods Yahweh and the rest of the Elohim pantheon of gods, thinking you are worshiping the Supreme Being. The 'God' or 'Lord God' you see in your bible was mistranslated from the word, Elohim. Elohim means THE GODS, NOT 'GOD'. |

Because we have seen the light. We can't be worshipping fallen angels masquerading as gods. We only worship our Creator who is the God of Heaven and Earth. Anyone who worships any idols is doomed for Hell Fire where they will cry forever and forever. As for me and my family we have decided to follow the light of life, Jesus Christ. No to any Amadioha, Ifa, Sango, Mother Mary etc |

obonujoker:What 'light'? We can't be worshipping fallen angels masquerading as gods.You didn't know what the term ''fallen angels'' meant until thieving colonisers came with bombs and guns to steal, murder, burn and loot, and gave you some.... book. We only worship our Creator who is the God of Heaven and Earth.You ancestors knew about that God thousands of years before white people existed. His name? Chukwu. Before the white men came and turned your head upside down, some of your ancestors Only prayed to Chukwu. Amadioha and other deities were regarded as his assistants, an idea stolen by christianity in their concept of 'angels'. Anyone who worships any idols is doomed for Hell Fire where they will cry forever and forever.Your 'jesus' is as much an 'idol' as any deity. You ritually drink his blood, eat his flesh, and hang his bloodied, crucified body around your neck. Those are all ancient pagan practices. Something you would know if you actually spent the time to research what you are worshipping. There is no hell fire. Your ancestors knew God for thousands of years before the white man who colonised you with guns and bombs, existed. And there was Nothing like ''hellfire'' in African spirituality. The very idea of it is repugnant and repulsive to African spirituality, which predates All spiritual systems on Earth by Thousands of years. Africa is the Cradle of Civilisation. The Birthplace of Humanity. The Birthplace of Religion and Spirituality. If there was a 'hellfire' our ancestors would have known about it. God would not have hidden it from them and told white people alone, for them to use it to come and steal from, massacre and rob Africans. |

| Re: Why Did Igbos Abandon Amadioha? by Arda1000(m): 7:09am On Jun 28, 2025 |
Kushites:The idea that we believe in only one god named Chukwu is wrong,Nri system of worship which was the oldest religious beliefs in Igbo land was never monotheist,we had many gods but the most reverend and most important was Ana,Ala,Ani the Earth goddess,Ani was the most influential deity in Igboland before the Aro adopted the Chukwu deity and most Igbo subgroups started adopting them alongside their Nri system of worship. |

Kushites:BRUH. Buddhism is from India, not from China. All of the places The Buddha lived in are in India or Nepal (mostly India). Buddhism spread around the world to China or Sri Lanka not because of The Buddha, but because of Emperor Ashoka, The Great. |

Igbo is an evolving tribe. It is expected that they suffer identity crisis as it is still borrowing from other cultures to determine what they stand for. |
| Re: Why Did Igbos Abandon Amadioha? by LadyExcellency: 12:36pm On Jun 28, 2025 |
Amadioha is the god of the yam. Who still farms yams in Igboland as an occupation? There are several gods and there is God (Chiukwu). The Greeks referred to him as the "Known God" even when they never worshipped him. Even at the worship of African deities, no one serves an immoral and unrighteous deity. Christian God is love, Jesus Christ offered mercy, forgiveness and love, while that isn't found in African deities, rather retribution, judgement and servitude. |

LadyExcellency:There was Nobody named “Jesus Christ the Son of God”. It’s a pure Scam from start to finish. There is a big fat Zero evidence of his existence. The Romans who were ruling Israel invented the “loving, peaceful lamb of God” who “gave to Caesar what was Caesar’s”, and claimed he had lived a century earlier, and they built a religion around him. The Hebrews had been awaiting a militaristic messiah that would fight and defeat the Romans, not that “loving lamb Jesus” scam. That was why the Hebrews never accepted or believed in Jesus. And even the so-called Jews of today have held on to the tradition of rejecting the Roman invented “lord Jesus”. If the foreigners are rejecting their own “lord and saviour”, what carried you there to go and pick him up as real? Is that not foolishness? By the way, do you know that the authors of the New Testament are unknown? Matthew, Mark, Luke etc are Fake names. Did you know that? It’s not actually a disputed fact. You can look it up. |

This “love and forgiveness” stuff is a Roman invented nonsense. Invented to pacify people opposed to Caesar's tyranny. It’s a license for criminality and corruption. Loot $5 billion and then “pray for forgiveness” while eating the money. African religion is about accountability. You commit, you pay. Nothing like “forgiveness” or “accept me as your lord and saviour, and all is well.” Mba mba mba. You commit, you pay. You defile the land by corruptly enriching yourself to the detriment of your kinsmen, you pay. That is the way of our ancestors. Until we return to that system of traditional spirituality and accountability, you can forget about any kind of advanced progress as a country. |

Kemetian:I absolutely agree with you on this 100%. That's why Asian countries are more progressive than African even more than the west. If you commit, you pay. As simple as ABCD. By doing so, people will shun evil and avoid it because they know the consequences of doing such. |
