The Igbo Concept Of Satan(Ekwensu) And Chukwu (God) by tonychristopher: 3:57pm On Mar 14, 2015 |
In the traditional Igbo spiritual belief system and Igbo mythology, Chukwu is the infinitely powerful, undefinable, supreme deity encompassing everything in space and space itself. Linguistic studies suggest that the name "Chukwu" or "Chukouuee" is a portmanteau of the Igbo words "Chi" ("spiritual being" and "Ukwu" ("great in size". In the Igbo pantheon, Chukwu is the source of all other Igbo deities, and is responsible for assigning them their different tasks. The Igbo people believe that all things come from Chukwu, who brings the rains necessary for plants to grow and controls everything on earth and the spiritual world.

I think every culture has their own story about creation and GOD..... but it looks like the colonialists tried to destroy ours. The colonialists attacked everything we have, including our language, that you would be fined for speaking what they called "vernacular." You speak your language and you are whipped.... This is one of the biggest cultural disasters ever experienced. They say your culture is evil; they say your language is backward; they say your religion is demonic...... According to the Igbo people from the eastern region of Nigeria.... Igbos are from Southern region of Nigeria, not eastern Nigeria. In fact, there is no eastern region in Nigeria. Perhaps, you meant South-EASTERN sub-region. 5 Likes |

Op research well story has it that Chukwu sent a Dog and a tortoise, knowing fully well that a tortoise was very slow compared to the fastness of a dog, he gave them different messages... To the Dog: he said burying humans with ashes brings them back to life To the Tortoise: Burying them like that will make them live (he lied) which infact was to make them die forever... A normal person would expect the Dog to get to humans first, but along the race, Chukwu threw down a bone from heaven and the dog got distracted, tortoise delivered his message first, and till date, the dead never comes back to life... Moral of the story: the obvious is not always the right choice... Your welcome. 4 Likes |
