About this listen

 Okarammadu's podcast, "Odinala! The Foundation of Igbo Spirituality," delves into the ancient spiritual traditions of the Igbo people known as Odinala, its origins and its impacts on Igbo culture and life. An exploration of the unique thirteen-month Igbo calendar and the key divine figures is featured. The importance of ancestor worship and the crucial role of Dibia, a spiritual healer, is also discussed. The script next highlights Christianity's disruptive influence on Odinala, the ongoing cultural conflict, and the unique syncretism that emerged. The resilience of Odinala in persisting through these transformations and its revival in modern movements are also outlined. The podcast concludes with an analysis of how the Bible was used as a tool of colonial control.
