    The Relationship Between CHI (Spirit) and CHI (Daylight) In Odinala Igbo, Pinpointing The Realm Of CHI in Igbo Cosmology: The ancient Igbo, in their wisdom and understanding of creation, had the same name for our Spirit, Life-force, Destiny (CHI) and the daylight (CHI), which accompanies the rising of the sun (Anya anwu/Anyanwu). And so also in the practice of Odinala which they handed down to us, Ndi gboo designated the sun as the dwelling place and ultimate source of the CHI (light/life-force/spirit/essence). They believe that the sun is the medium through which our individual CHI enters our world, to take on anu aru (bodies/cloths). We see this in the ritual of installing (Idotu Chi) the physical representation of a man's chi (Okpensi CHI). When a man comes of age in many parts of Igbo land, he is expected to physically invite his CHI into his home by setting up an altar/shrine dedicated to the complete communication with his CHI. He will invite a Dibia to perform the ritual of Idotu Chi, which is bringing down the CHI from the face of the sun, at daybreak. The CHI is invoked into the Okensi CHI and will remain in the man's compound until the day of his death, when the shrine must be destroyed. The implication of the above ritual simply means that our individual CHI resides with the sun, the bringer of daylight, or, in other meaning, the CHI passes through it to visit our world (Uwa). And this completely aligns with the Igbo understanding that CHIUKWU OKIKE (the Supreme Spirit) is in close communion with the sun (Anyanwu) – and expresses itself chiefly through the sun, Anyanwu. By the foregoing, it then simply establishes the fact that the dwelling place of the CHI is not Ala Mmuo (spirit realm of dead people), as has been erroneously taught by those who try to marry Odinala and Christianity. It is important to note that there are two spiritual realms in Igbo cosmology: "Ala mmuo" being a dwelling place of the spirits of dead people, while "Be mmuo" is the home of CHIUKWU OKIKE, CHI, and all other Alusi that carry out the work of the Supreme Spirit (Chi Ukwu, Chi na Eke, Olisa Ebili Uwa). It is important that in our definition of the realm and source of the CHI, that we do not carelessly relegate the CHI to the land of the spirit of the dead. This is because they are two distinct realms, like I have mentioned above. Ndi Igbo, in their understanding of life and the afterlife, look forward to the next world (after we die) as a spirit realm which is as much the same as the physical world. The ground, forests, hills, valleys, rivers, streams, oceans, and roads leading to various towns are just like we have here in this reality. Dead ancestors, who now inhabit the spirit world (Ala/Ana/Ani mmuo) have their usual occupations, just like when they were in the world of the living. It is from this Ala mmuo that dead ancestors come to our realm, in an ever-continuous cycle of life, death and reincarnation. This abode of ancestral spirit is different from the dwelling place of the CHI, which according to Ndi Gboo is the sun (Anyanwu). ~ Article Written By Chuka Nduneseokwu, a Dibia, Igbo Odinala Researcher, African Revolutionary, and Igbo Philosopher

  • If you're being good for a reward you are not doing it for the right reasons. Be good because its the right thing to do, especially if no one else is doing it.

    It's funny, but let it be known that most of you don't know Jumabee. This is very simple and straightforward. First, before I proceed, I will give you all a simple understanding of what the Jumabee show is all about. The Jumabee show has been going on for over six years now, and he has brought so many big artists from Lagos and other parts of the country to perform in Kogi State. This is the only way to push Kogi State up there in the entertainment world. This year's show comes with different developments, which include the Kogi Entertainment Summit. Before the entertainment summit, Jumabee asked his team to confirm every entertainer from Kogi State and within. Let me tell you, most of the people they confirmed their pictures for, Jumabee is not even aware of them. This is his way of uniting Kogi State artists. It's very wrong to use an artist's picture without informing their management, but it depends on the nature of the show. First, Jumabee is not collecting tickets for the show; the show is practically free. If you know want it means to fly over 20 Artist from Lagos State to Abuja, then transportation from Abuja to Kogi state. The security details, the feeding, the accommodation and other unknown bills, you will understand what this dude has been sacrificing all this years. Lets give Jumabee his flower🌺🌻🌹🌷... This hero that come from Kogi state has really tried. Peace✌ ~Shotit

The Honourable Minister of Water Resources and Sanitation, Engr. Prof. Joseph Terlumun Utsev, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary, Mr. Richard Pheelangwah, in his keynote address emphasized that the TRIMING Project was designed to enhance irrigation systems and promote integrated water resource management, with gender and social safeguards as core components. According to Prof. Utsev, the project has transformed women, youth, and vulnerable groups from being marginalized to becoming vital contributors in agriculture and water governance. He highlighted the achievements of the project, including the development of GBV Action Plans across all schemes for risk mitigation and survivor support, women’s leadership in Water Users Associations (WUAs), enhancing inclusive decision-making, and the economic empowerment of women through active roles in irrigation management. Prof. Utsev added that the extensive capacity-building on gender sensitivity and GBV prevention, the strengthening of local capacitie, including youth champions and gender desk officers, cultural norm shifts through media, dialogues, and storytelling in local languages, as well as alignment with global best practices and World Bank environmental and social standards, are additional achievements of the project. The Minister thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the World Bank, and the Project Monitoring Unit for their support in driving TRIMING’s success. He urged the replication of its gender and GBV initiatives in other projects and emphasized that achieving a gender-equitable, GBV-free society requires ongoing commitment and collaboration. Engr. Hauwa Sadique Mohammed, Deputy Director Irrigation, delivering the welcome address on behalf of the Permanent Secretary, Mr. Richard Pheelangwah, emphasized the workshop as a key milestone in advancing inclusivity, equity, and safety, particularly for women, girls, and vulnerable groups in the TRIMING Project.

Delivering a comprehensive overview of the project, the Project Coordinator, Engr. Ipinlaye Olaiya, emphasized the central role of gender mainstreaming across all components of the TRIMING Project, noting that the deliberate integration of gender perspectives was not only strategic but essential to the long-term sustainability and impact of the interventions.
