Igbo African Goddess: Nnenwanyi Agwu/Nne Agwu by Sirius Ugo Art

Odii Obala/Odi Obara - the grand lady of the universe that incarnated as Nnenwanyi Agwu to reveal the mysteries of the universe to her Igbo children. The mysteries of Nnenwanyi Agwu revealed the Igbo origin of the divination system known in Igbo as Afa, and in Yoruba As Ifa. In Uga Aka, going to Uga Chi, the first age of the world, all mystical knowledge were revealed by a woman known as Nnenwanyi Agwu. Anything that Igbo wanted to know about the universe and life were all revealed by her. She was the source of all knowledge. She was omniscient in physical form. She unveiled what was, what is, and what will be. She lived until she was very old and passed on. When she passed away, the masses were thrown into confusion, because it felt like wisdom had left the earth. However, a report was sent to Chukwu, and Chukwu responded back. He instructed humans to bury the mother of wisdom, and that the Ugili/Ogiri tree will grow out of her head, and that when it's fruits ripens and falls, it should be broken into two, and four on each side, and should be used for divination. And that it will unveil what is, what will be, and what was. This was the origin of Afa Akpukpala Ogiri / Ugili divination system of Igbo and the rest of Africa. It is very possible that the Greek goddess of wisdom and the Greek word for wisdom which is Sophia originated from OSE-OFU. In Afa, Ose Ofu is a representation of divine consciousness. Primordial vision, which is wisdom. In Igbo Astrology, she is a representation of the Gemini constellation as the primal Agwu. Her zoomorphic form is the Kite bird (Nne Egbe).
