These are some of the questions some people do ask me.
Here are some of the questions
1.What is the difference between Odinani and Omenala?
Omenala are customs and traditions, and Odinani is the study of the sacred sciences of nature; both inner (human nature) and outer (the world as we know it). In essence, Omenala is what is done, and Odinani is part of the reason why its done.
2. Is Odinani really about Devil worship?
There is no such thing as The Devil in Odinani
3. What about human sacrifice?
Human sacrifice is something that has been observed in all societies in one form or another. There are three main kinds of human sacrifice. The first and most prominent involves sacrifice as a form of capital punishment. The second was the sacrifice of slaves/P.O.Ws at special ceremonies such as royal funerals or festivals. The third type is a ritual murder in order to gain money or power. The last two are condemned by every society on the planet. Omenala condones capital punishment.
4. What is the name of God in Odinani?
The word that is used for God in Igbo is Chi. It is a reference to the individual spark of divinity that exists within everyone. The collective spirit of everyone and everything is known as Chukwu. It is a contraction of two words: Chi (God) and Ukwu (great or large in size). Literally, Chi-Ukwu or Chukwu means the Great God or the Great Spirit.
5. What are the practitioners of Odinani known as?
Ndi Igbo (Igbo people) did not refer to themselves as servants, followers or slaves of any spirit or deity. Instead, they considered themselves to be Umu (children) of the Mmuo (Spirits). Since the Universal Spirit was known as Chukwu, the most appropriate name for practitioners of Odinani would be Umuchukwu (Children of the Great God). A singular form of this would be Nwachukwu (Child of the Great God).
6. Is there a Heaven or Hell in the Igbo afterlife?
What happens after one dies?
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it just changes forms. Likewise, there is no such thing as an afterlife in Igbo cosmology, as the spirit world is seen as the unseen part of the physical world. When you die, you just transition the same way that liquid water makes its transition to water vapor when its heated at a high enough temperature. If one chooses to, you can return to the earth plane, the same way that water vapor condenses to rain. Furthermore, Heaven and Hell are seen as states of mind that are experienced while you are alive, rather than after you die
7.Did the Igbo people come from Israel or Egypt?
This is one of big question among all the questions.But my respond is that Igbos did not come from Israel .Though there are some groups of people that say that they come from Israel through Egypt,their claims is not accepted by all Igbos.It has it in a history that Igboland has been occupied since pre-dynastic times .
