A NL Writer Needs Help On The Difference Between Egbe And Emere by Lleigh(op): 6:33pm On Jun 19, 2019
HI guys,

I hope someone can help me.

I am in the middle of writing my next book and I need some help smiley

I remember growing up and hear people would say Bleep cleaned that room very fast she must have egbe?
I found out that meant the person had sprit people as companions that stayed with them.
Does that mean the person is actually an emere?

Or what is the distinction between the two?

And would you say both are different to ghosts.

Thank you in advance

Egbe can be an age group club, society or cult. Emere is a person that belongs to a bad group of spirits. Egbe is not necessarily a bad thing but depends on context. While Emere usually has negative connotations. An Emere will probably belong to an Egbe of some kind. This is why some people interchange both words.

Yes. Egbe is society and association but it does not mean these people are Emere. Emere are negative spirits who cause harm to those who love them in the end. And they mostly come through children. An Iyalode or Balogun May be the head of a society or interest group/ Egbe. But they are not in any way an Emere

Egbe in this context means emere and not egbe as association or group
Omo elegbe...
shey you be ibo ni ?
So you have not heard the word elegbe omo
Its pronounced the same way but has different meaning Ok

She wanted to know the difference between Egbe and Emere. You are using it interchangeably and that is not correct. All Egbe is not Emere.
