Proverb #20


Ikenga: old god of strength and adventure

"Nwamkpi sị: na ya efuha'efu, nwụhụ-anwụ, (kama) na ya g'erurịrị n'Ikenga."












Editorial: Although this is a picture of an old god/fetish in Igbo land (Owerri area)
No hard facts and conclusions should be drawn from its inclusion here. 

It is an abstraction to do the proverb justice, nothing more.
The vast majority of Igbo people are now a Christian people, both actively
and nominally.
