Among the Igbo people of Nigeria, afa (divination) had been useful in all
spheres of their lives. Unfortunately, with the advent of Christianity and
subsequent conversion of some Igbo people, it was seen as unchristian. This
had contributed in many problems facing the Igbo culture. Consequent upon
these, the United Nations had once said that in fifty years’ time, the language
and culture might fizzle out. Now, to protect this ugly development, the
author embarked on the research, to find out the truth in afa, the system of
operation, how it affects the lives of the Igbo people viz political, social,
economic, religious, and moral lives.

Afa” (Divination): The Mouthpiece of the Unseen
Original price was: $30.00.$25.00Current price is: $25.00.
There are many methods of
divination. These are ugiri (beads) method, water method, palm reading
method, cola nut method, et cetera. These were studied. It was found that
divination is a call, not all comers’ affair and false divination gives rise to
false interpretation of afa messages. Becoming a diviner after confirmation
of ones call, one has to undergo training and initiation proper. These days,
diviners abound in Christendom.
