Nwa, Emem Ufot

SUMMARY

A study of Igbo ritual symbolism is of primary significance to the systematic reconstruction of Igbo traditional religious experience and life. As the clearest visible expression of the corpus of Igbo beliefs, sacred symbols provide reliable information about indigenous religious thought and socio-cultural life. This is especially the case with the dominant symbol of Ofo, since it occupies a unique place in the Igbo ritual network. The book makes a systematic and detailed analysis of Ofo ritual symbol, including its provenance, structural variations and functional range in the different sub-cultural zones of Igboland, and its dense meaning- content. The study is presented from a historical perspective.Nwa, Emem Ufot is the author of 'History of Irrigation, Drainage and Flood Control in Nigeria from Pre-Colonial Time to 1999', published 1986 under ISBN 9789780294021 and ISBN 9780294023.
