Omenala and Omenachukwu in Igbo World View: a Philosophical Equipoise
OMENALA AND OMENACHUKWU IN IGBO WORLD VIEW: A PHILOSOPHICAL EQUIPOISE Jude I. Onebunne* Abstract Omenala and Omenachukwu are wings of basic and fundamental human trado-religious activities and interactions in Igbo society. Omenala as basic human culture can be defined as shared pattern of behaviour and interactions, cognitive constructions and affective understanding that are learnt through a process of inter and intra socialization. Omenachukwu translates essentially as Divine Culture and in a large sense, Christianity and by extension, inculturation. Omenala and Omenachukwu are basic human activities within human society in relation to a patterned way of life as well as to a being of a sort. In this paper, the researcher using the method of unaided critical analysis finds out that in Igbo Society, between omenala and omenachukwu is a vital activity seen in ‘ome’ and the conjunction ‘na’ relates the activity either to culture as expressed in the concept of ala and Chukwu as to a supreme being. Keywords: Omenala, Omenachukwu, Tradition, Religion, Culture, Socialization Introduction The Igbo is an ethnic group native to the present-day south- central and southeastern Nigeria. Geographically, the Igbo homeland is divided into two unequal sections by the Niger River; an eastern (which is the larger of the two) and a western section. The Igbo people are one of the largest ethnic groups in West Africa. They are socially and culturally diverse. Igbo culture (Omenala) includes the customs, practices and traditions of the Igbo people. They have a dynamic and fascinating cultural heritage that says much about them. It Nnadiebube Journal of Philosophy, Vol.3(1), 2019 comprises archaic practices as well as new concepts added into the Igbo culture either by cultural evolution or by outside influence.

The Sacred Festival of Iri Ji Ohuru in Igboland, Nigeria UKACHUKWU CHRIS MANUS Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria
Nordic Journal of African Studies 16(2): 244–260 (2007) The Sacred Festival of Iri Ji Ohuru in Igboland, Nigeria UKACHUKWU CHRIS MANUS Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria ABSTRACT This article examines the religious significance of the New Yams Festival (Iri Ji Ohuru) among the Igbo of south-eastern Nigeria. Secondary data for the study was collected from ethnographical information on the origin of the custom by some well-known Igbologists. An analysis of a major extant etiological myth about the revelation of yams in Igboland is provided. A phenomenological description of the Emume (festival), the primary datum as it directly presented itself to my consciousness when I observed one such festival in my village of birth, Umueze, Uzoagba in the Ikedururu Local Government Area of Imo State, Nigeria, in 2004 is presented. Interview schedules with some elders and a ritual master of this kind of traditional custom was conducted in the village on 12 April 2004 and 1–7 February 2006. To anchor the findings on the place of yams on solid ethno-history, a brief sketch of the migrations of the Igbo people, their religion and the legend about their progenitor, Eri , is discussed. The aim is to provide the socio-religious background for understanding the divine origin and the sacred nature of yams in the traditional belief of the Igbo people. Popular views on the value of yams as principal staple in Igbo gastronomic life as attested in contemporary literary works are related. Matters of great interest to phenomenologists such as the descriptive account of the festival, its ritual acts, the oral nature of the incantations, and the age of the participants are discussed.

Deterritorializing the Future Heritage In, of and After the Anthropocene
Deterritorializing the Future Heritage in, of and after the Anthropocene Edited by Rodney Harrison and Colin Sterling Deterritorializing the Future Critical Climate Change Series Editors: Tom Cohen and Claire Colebrook The era of climate change involves the mutation of sys- tems beyond 20th century anthropomorphic models and has stood, until recently, outside representation or address. Understood in a broad and critical sense, climate change concerns material agencies that impact on biomass and energy, erased borders and microbial invention, geological and nanographic time, and extinction events. The possibil- ity of extinction has always been a latent figure in textual production and archives; but the current sense of deple- tion, decay, mutation and exhaustion calls for new modes of address, new styles of publishing and authoring, and new formats and speeds of distribution. As the pressures and re- alignments of this re-arrangement occur, so must the critical languages and conceptual templates, political premises and definitions of ‘life.’ There is a particular need to publish in timely fashion experimental monographs that redefine the boundaries of disciplinary fields, rhetorical invasions, the interface of conceptual and scientific languages, and geo- morphic and geopolitical interventions. Critical Climate Change is oriented, in this general manner, toward the epis- temo-political mutations that correspond to the temporali- ties of terrestrial mutation.

Chapter One Introduction 1.1
CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Backgroundof study Time is one of the age-long and central philosophical conceptsthat is analysed, critiqued and debatedbyphilosophers of all ages. As an indication to the centrality of time, Martin Heidegger writes; ―all ontology is rooted in the phenomenon of time correctly viewed and correctly explained.‖1 Henri Bergson likewise collaborates the above and opined that―philosophical questions are difficult because we do not think about real time.‖2This means that our day to day problems and difficulties will be reduced minimally if philosophers and the likes would conform to time.Time has a powerful and supreme influence in history through the efforts of men because through time their destinies are decided. According to Asukwo: All the resources committed to the mission of success, the mysterious hand of time is the shoulder to soothe the disheartened in moments of sorrow, the mysterious hand of time alone can lay on the heart to comfort the sorrowful of all medical aids and drugs administered to victims of injury, time is the master healer that treats the scar of every injury. When the oppressed cry out of justice, it is the judge of time that ultimately brings every offender to book. And when our consciousness has borne testimony of all these facts we cannot help but agree that the phenomenon of time is indeed supreme.3 In African ontology, the concept of time also has its overbearing influences.The relevavance of time permeates into all African worldview ranging from their culture, spiritual and economic life. This importance of time led Mbiti that ―in African worldview, time is the key to understanding the African ontology, their belief, practices, attitude and general way of life.‖4 1 This is not surprising while African book their appointments with the high noon, cockcrow, and sundown.
