Akpu Okalaete by Dibia Oji-Ugo Ijele

This teaching by Oji-Ugo Ijele describes Akpu Okalaete as a formidable ancestral deity, manifesting as a tree and acting as a powerful source of wealth and protector for Igbo families and communities. This foundational warlord spirit fiercely guards its followers from war and injustice, can cure spiritual ailments, and serves as a conduit for both wealth and ancestral connection, but it demands recognition and respect. To align with Akpu through offerings and the symbolic tying of a white cloth is to invite lifelong blessing and security, while to neglect or harm it is to invite ruin, for this merciful yet dangerous deity holds the power to profoundly shape one's destiny.
