GOING BACK TO ROOT:CHI IN IGBOLAND
BEEN IN HARMONY WITH CHI.
In Igbo philosophy and psychology been in harmony with your Chi determines alot in your endeavors of life.Without your Chi's approval of your activities in life,you are wasting your time and energy.
There a popular saying "onyeburu chiya uzo ogbagbonyiya na oso"meaning nobody can be faster than his Chi or nobody can be faster than his shadows).
Igbo believe in Chineke as the creator of mankind.But their view and philosophy of God are a bit different from christian position of God.
Igbo's from bring don't believe in myth of Father,Son and Spirit.They believe everyone has a personal Chi, creation to helps,guide,direct, protect and fight spiritual warfare,for other physical half being.
In Igboland Chi's are different and performance for individuals according to personal destiny from creation.
Somehow, one can say,that igbo's believes that Chi is too personal as individuals Chi's vary according to their per-destiny from day of creation.
There are common practice in igboland before for individual who wish to know from their Chi about their fortune before embacking on some adventure through Egba Afa, Echo uzo,Echo ihuchi,Eju uzo,through gifted Dibia's that are specialized on that.
Majority of Dibia's that specialized on Egba Afa will tell you what to do to create harmony with your Chi.But christianity today blend in to Egba Afa through their priests, prophets,visioners etc are existing cultural practice adopted by many modern christian group while such cannot be found in European countries that introduced christianity introduced to Africa.
When one is in harmony with his Chi he will succeed where others failed.His journey in life becomes easier:Akachi,Munachi,Chisom,Chibuzo, Chikaodinaka, Chimdueje etc are very common name in igboland.A fate is sealed from creation:ihechi sire na madu gabu ka oga agbu(what your chi said you will be in this life, that will you will be).Meaning, destinycan not be changed in life.
Whatever your chi say will happen in your will surely happen in life.
