Lessons From Mbari

Mbari is a deity closely associated with Anị, the earth goddess. She is the divine guardian of the ritualistic art form, also known as Mbari.

As an art form, Mbari is a ritual of art and peacemaking, usually undertaken to placate the earth goddess, Anị, in the event of a catastrophe befalling the community.

In his book, Mbari: Art as Process in Igboland, Herbert Cole aptly describes the concept thus: “The monument is a merging of architecture, sculpture, bas relief, and painting, designed and

HOW EVIL IS EKWENSU?

by Koso Agboanike

To the modern Igbo person, Ekwensu is the Igbo word for the Devil.

He is not the Igbo lookalike of Satan, but Satan himself, just called a local name; much like cup is iko.

You get through this and throw the yam into the pot, only for it to disintegrate like a sandcastle under the rain.

You put it in your mouth, and it tastes like the baker forgot to add sugar to the cake.

The new yam hasn’t got much going for it, except that it’s big and cheap, which it shou

IGBO, THE MACAW LANGUAGE

Have you watched Rio, the animated movie? It follows the efforts of an ornithologist to pair what he believes to be the last Spix’s macaws on earth, in a bid to prevent their extinction. In the second installment of the movie, he finds a whole paradise in the wild full of the macaws.

The Spix’s macaw is now believed to be extinct in the wild. 60 to 80 of them still live in captivity.

If Igbo language was an animal, it would be in a wildlife sanctuary, being bred in captivity. Conservative...
