Amadioha

Amadioha is the Alusi (god) of thunder and lightning of the Igbo people of southeastern Nigeria. He is amongst the most popular of Igbo deities and in some parts of Igboland, he is referred to as Amadiora, Kamalu (which is short for ''Kalu Akanu''),〔McCall, John. ''Dancing Histories: Heuristic Ethnography with the Ohafia Igbo''. Page 123〕 Kamanu,〔Oriji, John. ''Sacred Authority in Igbo Society''. Page 115〕 or Ofufe.〔Diala, Isidore. ''Ritual and Mythological Recuperation in the Drama of Esiaba Irobi''. Page 101〕 Astrologically, his governing planet is the Sun.〔Uchendu, Victor C. ''The Igbo of Southeast Nigeria''. Page 96〕 His color is red, and his symbol is a white ram.〔Diala, Isidore. ''Ritual and Mythological Recuperation in the Drama of Esiaba Irobi''. Page 104〕 Metaphysically, Amadioha represents the collective will of the people.〔Iwu, Maurice. ''Handbook of African medicinal plants''. Page 320.〕 He is often associated with Anyanwu, who is the Igbo god of the Sun. While Anyanwu is more prominent in northern Igboland, Amadioha is more prominent in the southern part. His day is Afo, which is the third market day of the Igbo four day week.〔Patrick, Iroegbu. ''Igbo-Okija Oracles and Shrines, Development and Cultural Justice''〕
==Origins==
Literally Amadioha means man of the people. Most people from the eastern part of Nigeria acsribe the name to their local deity/god. Shrines to Amadioha still exist in different parts of Igboland, but the main shrine is located at Ogboro Ama Ukwu or Ihiokpu as it is called in Ozuzu in Etche Local Government Area of present day Rivers State, Nigeria. Although it is located there, it is not the patron deity of the people of Ozuzu. In fact, it is said that Ozuzu is the town in which Amadioha "lives" and it serves as it earthly headquarters. It is from there that it spread to other parts of Igboland.〔Onunwa, Udobata. ''A Handbook of African Religion and Culture''. Pages 18-19〕
