Odi Agali as Nne Ike in Afa

Odi Agali in Afa explains where strength, success, and personal power truly come from. Odi represents darkness as a generative state, while Agali represents Ikenga as the force of will, victory, and achievement. When combined as Odi Agali, this force is identified as Nne Ike, the Mother of Ikenga. This teaching shows that Ikenga does not exist on its own; it emerges from a deeper feminine source that gives it life and direction. Without Nne Ike, Ikenga cannot take form or function, which is why debates about whether women can have Ikenga miss the point entirely, the divine feminine is the source from which Ikenga itself is born.
