Tobe Osigwe this video is your first video that I'm seeing and i must say continue with the good work and may the ancestors guide you and may chukwu okike bless you abundantly for teaching igbos the importance of igbo cosmolgy and spirituality however i will like to make a little correction: Eke is associated to sun (fire or light) Orie is associted to water Afor is associated to land (earth) Nkwo is associted to air. Thank you

[@charlesokpara7352]

Tobe osigwe you are correct with a lot of things you said but I have to correct you on the afor day you associated with water, afor day is purely earth day (ajani) I'm nwafor

[@SeptuagintMaccabees]

Thank you so much for your video. I will definitely subscribe. Could you kindly let me know who Afa is, I was born in Orie- it would be great to get some understanding on this and how to use it in prayer and what it fully means.

[@Ezeikolomuo]

Do you mean Afor?

[@SeptuagintMaccabees]

@@Ezeikolomuo no, in one of your comments you told one of your subscribers to ask Afa divination

[@SeptuagintMaccabees]

@@Ezeikolomuo also, quick one Tobe, in your time could you write out how to say the four prayers on each day for me please. Not meaning to push you too much but could you write it in Igbo and english. Biko!

[@Ezeikolomuo]

@@SeptuagintMaccabees Afa is Igbo divination process. You may have to watch my video on Afa for further information.

[@mandyobi8683]

Am really confused with this video because I thought orie is water , but hearing you say afor is water is really confusing, can you explain further why afir is water instead of orie

[@Ezeikolomuo]

Mandy Obi, first the elements attached to the four market days are not static or uniformed all over Igbo land. What is uniform is the hierarchy of the four market days. So, some people/community may have different approach or interpretation to symbols or elementals attached to these four market days. Conclusively, what I taught in this video is not cast in stone.

[@ladycash384]

He is wrong. Or is the water element.

[@ladycash384]

@@Ezeikolomuo You are wrong. Go and do your research or ask a good Diba for a proper explanation. Stop dishing out wrong information to the public.

[@Ezeikolomuo]

@@ladycash384 I believe I have answered you elsewhere. These elementals are not static. The elementals attached to the market days mean different things to different people. You can attribute Nkwo to water, if it works for you, fine. Personally, I do not attach any of the elementals to the four market days aside Afor I have come to identify with water.

[@tshepisomoraka1609]

What the color of Nkwo?

[@Ezeikolomuo]

I am not sure there is one. Even the elementals I explained in the videos are subject to personal interpretations. So, Nkwo can be whatever color you want it to be.

[@bombCacao]

Ka! Nna we are going to need you to expound much more and clearly. Will be subscribing.

Hello

[@pstvictornwachukwumark252]

This is what I thought 🔥 male water female Air male and Earth female. Eke Orie Afo and Nkwu Thanks more grace

[@Ezeikolomuo]

Ok.

[@namdinam]

🌳

[@stanleyokorie7087]

Ikolo thanks for your teaching but i think its in error. Orie is water. Nkwo is air and Afor is earth. Pls re confrim.

[@johnsmith-nx4zu]

You're correct, I don't know where he got his perspectives from!!!

[@user-Treasurechimuamanda]

Correct 💯

[@emmanuelchurchill2486]

Eke 2, is it eke okwu or eke ukpolo?

[@Ezeikolomuo]

Find out what is obtainable in your own community. If it's big Eke or Small Eke that comes first. What is certain is there is Big and Small market days.

[@FelixKanu-q4v]

In 1959 how many Nkwo ukwu did we had and their dates

[@UGOEBENAJA]

Eke Orie Afo Nkwo ANWU, IYI, AJA, AGWU. Proper: EKE = ANWU = Fire ORIE = IYI = Water AFO = AJA = Soil NKWO = AGWU = Air Orie Is Not Air And Afo Is Not Water. Jisike. ANYI AMAKA. DEI DEI.

[@Ezeikolomuo]

These elementals varies from people to people. What is constant is the four market days and their order of seniority. Dalu.

[@mrhimselfalone7657]

@@Ezeikolomuo so in your hood it's how you listed?

[@Ezeikolomuo]

@@mrhimselfalone7657 all over Igbo land it is how I listed them. What varies from community to community is the meaning and importance attached to each day. The elements also varies from community to community or from an individual to another.

[@comfortokoronkwo5563]

Sir, Please can you give us, your Viewers, a "Calendar" Of The "Four Igbo Market Days", as currently going on in Igboland, because some of us Igbos in The "Diaspora" have lost such information a long time ago? Thank You for Your Prompt Feedback!

[@Ezeikolomuo]

Kindly noted.

[@232techtalk]

Can u please explain the Igbo calendar better?? So one would know when the week starts and ends. Thank you

[@Ezeikolomuo]

Igbo week starts with Eke and ends with Nkwo. This is uniform all over Igbo land. What differs is what these days mean to them. We have fours days a week and seven weeks in a month.

[@famousnation5505]

I was born on afor day if I want to pray how can I call my chi

[@Ezeikolomuo]

Please check my timeline for videos that can be of help in addressing your question

[@priestdrchinagoromoluchukw2699]

Nkwo is associated with air and Eke is associated with fire

[@Ezeikolomuo]

Repeatedly, I have said that these things are not cast in stones. Just do what works for you and your people.

[@johnsmith-nx4zu]

This guy sef, who de teach you all this things 😂😂😂😂???

[@Ezeikolomuo]

It's Nze not this guy. Put some respect, to take Ozo title is not an easy feat. Udo.

[@johnsmith-nx4zu]

@@Ezeikolomuo before and even taking after the nze title, you're still a guy and I don't think it's a bad word!!!! You should be talking about trying to mislead us in the four market days and not nze or ozor title

[@Pretty_preshy]

Do married women practice in omenalà differs

[@Ezeikolomuo]

To an extent, yes.

[@nickyr3860]

I never have heard Eke associated with the masculine.

[@Ezeikolomuo]

Really?

[@mrhimselfalone7657]

Is this the same in all Ala Igbo? As far as Eke is fire and Orie is air? Or does it vary?

[@Ezeikolomuo]

The four market days as listed chronologically is the same all over Igbo land. However, the elements attached to it I believe may be a modern day introduction. Thus, there is a likelihood that the elements can vary.

[@dezefoods5422]

I thought, the elements associated with Igbo market days are: Eke (fire), Oye (water), Afo (Earth) & Nkwo (Air). But what you said is contrary to what I’ve always known. Correct me if I learned them all wrong. Thanks.

[@GDMiller419]

​@dezefoods5422 this is also how I was taught. Eke fire,Orie water, Afo earth, Nkwo air.

[@mmaduabuchiezeokafor4113]

How will I know big and small nkwo

[@Ezeikolomuo]

Through traditional calendar. Today is Afor Ọkwụ. That is Big Afọ. The next Afọ will be small Afọ, Afọ Ukporo. This is so in my hometown of Nnewi.

[@eke1747]

I wish you can be more louder so l can hear u well.l really don't understand anything

[@Ezeikolomuo]

Really? You are the first to note this issue. Is the problem from this particular video or other videos as well? My apologies though.

[@ezejohnpaul3200]

Orie is Water. Afor is Land. Nkwo is Air. Don't confuse people please.

[@charlesokpara7352]

Thanks for saying my mind, this man is out here confusing this juvenile omenala people.. Tobe osigwe I think you should go back and study Igbo cosmology and spirituality more to be well equiped so you don't misguide people because this job you're doing is a delicate one and you need to be careful of what you teach the novice

[@christiansantos217]

Afor is Earth as I have been hearing, only yours is different

[@Ezeikolomuo]

I am actually different. Watch my teachings you will notice they are not copy and paste.

[@divaviva111]

Thank you…love your channel. Hope I can share on my KZbin channel

[@Ezeikolomuo]

With all pleasure.

[@ebouche1309]

Spirits don't have gender, they can manifest in different ways as they so wish . Eke = 🔥 fire Oye/orie= water Afor= Earth Nkwo= Air. You really need to do extensive research before making omenani videos.omenani has consequences if not practiced properly. Jisike.

[@Ezeikolomuo]

Ok

[@Arnolddemoiselle]

Exactly oye is water

[@jenniferhalliwell416]

What does it mean if someone is born on Eke day?

[@Ezeikolomuo]

I think Afa divination will answer the question better. Eke signifies fire element. It also means first. If there's any other peculiarity that comes with you being born on Eke day, methinks Afa divination will have a better explanation.

[@mrhimselfalone7657]

I'm curious myself. I'm born on Eke. So is my mom

[@Ezeikolomuo]

@@mrhimselfalone7657 like I said, Afa will have a better answer.

[@ladycash384]

Oga, you have to redo this video. The information you gave is wrong. Orie is the water element, and Afó is air. You misplaced the two.

[@Ezeikolomuo]

I have another person that believes Orie is fire. I have said elsewhere that these elements are not cast in stone. The four market days is what is important. Do not be fixated on the elements attached to them because they are subject to personal interpretation. In fact, some people do believe these elements are modern day phenomenon. So you see, these things vary from individual or community to another. If I may shock you, here in Nnewi, Afor is the beginning of the market days. However, while doing this video I stuck with the generally accepted view of Eke, Orie, Afor and Nkwo.

[@thebossman4875]

I thought Eke was feminine, please can someone clarify?

[@Ezeikolomuo]

It is not cast in stone. The market days are subject to personal interpretations.

[@gregonwum8813]

The true meaning and symbolism of the four Igbo market days calendar Named "Eke, Orie, Afo, Nkwo." (The Eke day is the day of regeneration") meant that, it would witness the triumph of the cross of Jesus Christ over death at his resurrection. The Orie day meaning (the day He was offered to Almighty God. the day of His death). The Afo day meaning the day of His birth. and Nkwo day Meaning the day of His Baptism. This is Igbo Calendar True meanings. You do not understand Igbo Language and it meanings do more research.. The Igbo language is the fundamental language of so- called Sudanic "kwa" language. However, The Igbo Empires would spread to Europe, Middle-East, Near and Far East as far as India, China, Japan and Mongolia to establish the great Oriental Civilizations. All these languages have a common root in Igbo language!

[@Ezeikolomuo]

These things are subject to personal interpretations. They are not cast in stone. Some associate Orie with fire, wind or water like you said. The idea of the video is to inform my viewers that these market days are at times associated with elements. Thanks for watching.

[@sussananah5435]

Wrong teaching. Eke is Fire, Orie is Water, Afọ is Earth and Nkwo is Air. Please stop confusing people.
