B ecause the process of conjuring rainfall is particularly African, people condemned it as being fetish. But one big surprise anybody that undergoes this process will certainly come out with, is that, the whole process does not have any form of  Vudu. It is purely African natural science, and the origin is Igbo. The image above is a stone picked from Ochini rive in Nkalaha. It is called "Mkpume mi" because it is key to the conjuring  process. Analysis of the whole process is contained in the book,  Cosmic Chain  by Onyeji Nnaji  African mythology played a great role in the  formation of African metaphysical foundations. The tenets drawn from oral tradition, enforced by the people's myth are usually the underlying ideas that formed the fundamental parts of the african viewpoints. We do not borrow an idea from elsewhere to form our metaphysical values. All we had around us comprised the metaphysical ideas we share as our views about life and essences, pa...

A human being has five fingers, five toes. The hands and feet are fundamentals to the survival in life as they are necessary in ensuring that man moves to places where he gets food and grapples on the food to sustain his life. To this view, the rhetoric that binds vocatives in the form of incantation (anchoring on the heart-lock: four ) and the concomitant reprisal in the manner of affirmation that holds the human life bind to his original spiritual person, therefore defining existence and essences are unified by the corresponding echo: Isee!!!!!  Therefore it stands that anytime a prayer is said in the Igbo land, the attendants who would want the fulfillment of the prayer unanimously affirmed the prayer by saying Isee! Five then becomes the language of the spirit, the language of the creator that indicates agreement to...

  O ne thing history has ignored obliviously is the contribution of the Ijagam in the development of the human population in Africa and the world in general. The Ijagam culture overtook the inhabitants of their neighbourhood right from the Anang-Ibibio of Akwa-Ibom state, the Efik community of people both in Nigeria and the peopling of the human societies in the border country Cameroon. Call them the Ijagam, Ejagam or Ejagham; it is the same term referring to the ancient population of giants that chracterised the monolithic African population that contributed in the peopling of the populations that occupy the present day Nigeria South-Southern/Western Cameroon. Drawing inference from the interconnected tie between the oral traditions of some historically related neighbours, it is apparent that the name Ijagam was derived from the root word, “Ijaga” which connote “gigantic, huge, giant, large, great” etc. The inclusion of “m” in the word makes it a noun, “Ijagam” referring ...
