Miss Grand Nigeria 2023 National Costume
"Nkwu (Palm tree)" Nigeria's natural resources are abundant, particularly the palm tree, which holds great significance in the Nigerian culture. It is not only a vital food source but also symbolizes victory, peace, fertility, and growth. It has had a positive impact on Nigerian women, as they have been able to utilize palm oil and other palm-related products to support their families and generate income. The piece embraces and celebrates Nigeria's cultural heritage and the originality of Nigerian women.

Otu nne na-amu mana obughi otu chi na eke” One mother can beget many children but all the children will their own Chi and Eke
Welcome back to the 13 steps. You are now ready to begin step 2. In the first step, you learned the importance of ncheta, which is remembrance. You will see why this is indeed the foundation of all other steps. For this step, we will again return to a common experience that all humans share. You’re not going to remember it but we have this reminder on our bodies. In the months that you were being carried in your mother’s womb, you were literally connected to her, and dependent on her for your sustenance. However, there came a time when you had to leave that place and begin a new type of existence. And so you emerged from her womb, but were still physically connected to her.
However, for you to ever be a fully functional human being, that connection had to be severed. And in doing so, the physical connection to your mother was cut. You are reminded of it every time you look at your stomach and see your belly button. An Igbo custom (ili alo), which was also shared amongst our neighbors, was the burial of a newborn’s umbilical cord & placenta, usually near a newly germinated tree.This tree, which would be known as nkwu alo, was a child’s tree of life, and had significance for a child's future. One belief was that the nkwu alo would become fruitful in proportion to the fame of the child’s subsequent achievements as an adult. And during the obi umuaka (hearts of children) rite, the tree is used as a location for teenagers to be reminded of their relationship to Ala (the earth mother), their ancestors and their community.
Well similar to the severing of the physical connection to your mother, another, more traumatic severing happened, but this was not a physical severing, but a mental one. And the question that’s likely running through your mind right now is who or what was that mental separation from? Well the answer to that question is what Igbo people called “Chi na Eke” (Chi and Eke). If you’re of Igbo descent you may have heard the shortened form “Chineke”, and been told that it means “God the creator.” Unfortunately, this definition came from the Igbos who were among the first to convert to Christianity, who by the way, were usually the people who literally knew and understood the least about Igbo customs and metaphysics. To be honest with you, a series of books would need to be written to do justice to what Chi na Eke are, but for the purposes of this 13 step program, we will define each as the following: Chi is your potential energy, and Eke is your kinetic energy.
“Eke na chi wo otu mana eke siri na chi bia”"Eke and Chi are one, but Eke came from Chi"If you recall from your science classes, energy is neither created nor destroyed, but simply changes forms. And two of the major forms that energy can take would be at rest (potential) or in motion (kinetic). According to Igbo belief, it is your Chi that created your physical body, and it remains with you all your life. As a newborn, your connection to both Chi and Eke were still fresh, but as time passed, and without reminders, you began to get out of sync. This explains why as I reminded you in “Step 1”, that as a child you seemed to be more confident and full of life than you probably are now. However, and I cannot stress this enough, this loss of connection was ONLY in your mind.
Unfortunately due to you being born in this time and place, various physical memorials were not setup to remind you of your connection to your Chi na Eke. You likely didn’t have the rite of ili alo done, nor do you have an nkwu alo to perform the obi umuaka rite with. That’s the bad news. However the good news is that you can create your own reminders that suit you. And even better news is that just as you happen to have a Chi na Eke, every other human being you encounter also has one. What does this mean for you? Well If you have ever played a musical instrument of any kind, you know that something magical happens when multiple instruments are played in harmony. What would happen if you not only got your Chi na Eke in tune with one another, but also found other people who did the same thing? What kind of reality could you create?
Step 2: I recognize that Chi na Eke, the greater power that can help me overcome my negative feelings, resides in myself and in others. I can create my own reality and can do anything within reason, but cannot do it by myself or at the same time.Action item: Start to write your own personal prayer that says something similar in your own words. Choose a time and place to say it on a daily basis. And stay tuned for step 3, which is coming out on the next new moon, October 16.

Traditional Igbo Wedding Attire
There’s a lot of debate surrounding what is and isn’t authentic Igbo wedding attire. As highlighted in our previous post, Igbo wedding outfits vary greatly and often depend on regional practices and, of course, personal tastes. We’re aware that some people express interest in wearing Igbo attire but are not sure where to look. In this post, we’ve collated some of our favourite traditional Igbo…

An Introduction To The African Christ And The Origin Of Jesus Christ Of Nazareth.
The Ancient African Christ Within Us In His True Manifestations As OBA IGBO, OGBA-NKWU, OBATALA, ESHI, AFRA, ELE, OBINAGU, AUSAR, OSHURU, OSIRIS.
Yes, IGBO Is A Name Of A Forest Lord. He Is Also Known In Yoruba As OBA-IGBO (King Igbo), And Has A Forest Known As IGBO OLODUMARE, Similar To The Forest Known As OFIA-ADU, Which Is The Sacred Forest Of The Seed God ADU. The Hebrews Copied His Name As ADONAI, Which Is ADU-NNA-ANYI - The Seed That Is Our Father.
I G B O = 33
I9 + G7 + B2 + O15 = 33
Before The Idea Of JESUS Was Created By The Flavians And The Constantine Empire, There Was BACCHUS, The Roman Lord of Harvest, Wine, And Fertility. BACCHUS Was The Roman Embodiment Of The Greek DIONYSUS, And DIONYSUS Was The Greek Equivalent Of OSIRIS / ASR. Christianity Is A Spiritual System That Was Hijacked From The Coptic Magnum Opus Based On Kush-Khemet Spiritual System. The Nag Hammadi Which Is Forbidden By Modern Abrahamism Is The Foundation Of The Spiritual System That Was Being Developed In Khemet Before The Romans. It Started When The Greeks Invaded Khemet. And They Used West African Spiritual System Which Was Thought To Them In Khemet And Create The New Testament. Jesus Is The Lord Of Wine And Harvest Because He Was A Rework Of BACCHUS-DIONYSUS-OSIRIS. During The Time Of The Coptic Or The Development Of The Nag Hammadi, West African Shamans / High Priests Were In Khemet. The Name BACCHUS "Let The Wine Flow" Derives From The Igbo GBA-NKWU, Which Means "Let The Wine Flow". BACCHUS = GBA-NKWU-S. Greco-Romans Often Add Letter "S" At The Ending Of A Word They Copied From Another Culture. For Example, "Isis" Is Actually "Isi", Which Means "Source, Head, Leader" In Igbo. The Same Thing Ast /Isis Mean In Khemet. This Means That This Manifestations Came From West Africa. There's "DI" In DIONYSUS. DI Means Lord In Igbo Language. And DI Is The Root Word For Many European Name For God Or Gods (DIO, DEUS, DIOUS). DIONYSUS Was Also Called ELE-utherios (The Librator / Saviour), And There We See "ELE" In The Word. And ELE Is Another Name For The African Christ OBA-IGBO. Wine In IGBO Comes From The Palm-Tree. Thus The Igbo Wine Is The Palmwine. In The Manifestations Of OBATALA Whom Is Also Known As OBA-IGBO, He Is The Lord Of The Palmwine. I Don't Think There's Any Other Culture In Africa With A Palmwine Principles Like Igbo. The Palm Tree Is The Tree Of Life In Igbo Spirituality. And The Igbo Traditional Wedding Is Called "IGBA-NKWU", Which Means "To Bond With The Palm". And The Ritual Is Done With A Palmwine In A Wooden Cup. It Is Because The IGBOman Is An Embodiment Of His Christ Father OBA-IGBO, And The IGBOwoman Is An Embodiment Of The Christ Mother And Lover Maris / Mmiri / Iyi, Which Means "Sacred Waters". When Jesus Was Going Into Jerusalem (HERU-salem), People Were Throwing Palm Leaves On Him, Thus The Christians Have A Celebration Known As "The Palm Sunday". They Copied All These Things From The Igbo Spiritual System. It Is Known That Letter "J" Is Less Than 500 Years Old In The Greco-Roman Lexicon. Thus Letter J Was Invented By The English, Which Means That The Word JESUS Is ESUS. ESU Is Another Name For The African Christ. ESU = ESHU = ESHI Is The Name Of The Half Gods Half Humans That Architected West African Spiritual Systems. ESHI, USHI, NSHI Are The Igbo Words For The Divine Ancestors That Existed In UGA AKA (The First Age Of The World). Thus, Jesus Said In The Bible That He Existed Before The Father Of The Christian Faith Abraham. Jesus Also Turns Water To Wine Because He Is A Greco-Roman Capitalist Reworking Of The Ancient African Christs That Were The Lords Of Harvest, And Wine. Spring/Summer Is The Time Of Harvests. It's All About The Cycles Of Nature And The Adoration Of Natural Principles. The Oyiboman Knows Nothing About Algriculture. If The Oyiboman Knew Anything About Algriculture, They Would Be Cooking Soups Like OFE ONUGBO, OFE OHA, OFE NSALA, OFE AKWU, OFE EKWUSI. They Would Have A Festival Known As The New Yam Festival. The Oyiboman Is A Meat Worker (ONYE ORU ANU), Not A Light Worker. That's Why Even In Their Best Restaurants, They Serve You Steak. This Means That The Lord Of Algriculture Did Not Originate From The Oyiboman. Algriculture Is The Root Of All Human Intelligence.
Christianity Is Paganism With Another Name.
