What is the Igbo traditional religion?

The traditional Igbo religion is Odinani, a belief system centered on a Supreme God called Chukwu, spirits (Alusi), ancestors (Ndi Ichie), and natural forces. Important deities include Ala (Earth Goddess), Amadioha (god of thunder), and Ikenga (god of personal success). While many Igbos have embraced Christianity, some still observe traditional religious practices, often alongside their Christian faith.
