THE CORRUPTION OF IGBO SACRED SCIENCE PART 2 This brought chaos in Igboland and adjacent areas was very violent and chaotic in the 18th century as the result of the Atlantic slave trade. Some oracles in Igboland such as Ibini Ukpabi unfortunately became commercialized. Although many agents and priests of the oracle continued to do honest and fair work, others used the opportunity to sell innocent people as slaves. The Slave trade also introduced the outrageous Osu caste system in Igboland. Initially, Osus were very sacred and respected assistants to high priests. However, as a result of the slave trade, wars in Igboland increased and many people (including runaway slaves) sought refuge in shrines and become an Osu. In some cases, criminals also decided to be an Osu rather than becoming enslaved. Suddenly, be

Ọdịnanị :The Sacred Arts and Science of the Igbo People LECTURE - 1 Topic - The Igbo Traditional Way of Worship. We, the Igbos, are known all over the world as a people who are ardent in matters of our traditional religion and worship. To shed more light on what Igbo traditional religion and worship entails. The worship in Igbo culture and tradition are of three (3) levels which are; Chukwu/Chiokike, Ndiichie, and Arusi. CHUKWU/CHINEKE: We, Igbos, believe that Chukwu is greater than all spirits and beings both visible and invisible to the physical eyes. The various names we have given Chukwu reflect the level of faith and confidence we repose in Him. For instance; Chukwu which is a shortened form of “Chi Ukwu” implies “Great Being.” While, Chiokike means “The Being that creates.” We don’t believe anyone can accurately describe Chukwu or make his perfect image that is why in all of Igboland, there is no shrine where an image of Chukwu is carved or painted. In fact, in Igbo
