Ogbanje Church opens in Anambra.

A new church called Ogbanje Church of All Nations opened in Nnewi, Nnewi North Local Government Area of Anambra State.

Congregation members had their first worship service at the church, where they sang and danced to a compilation of songs eulogising the names of some popular river goddesses in Nnewi. This was corroborated by a video currently trending in social media, showing church members rejoicing and dancing to songs composed in praise of goddesses of some famous rivers in Nnewi.

While addressing the congregation at the uncompleted building, the cleric presiding over the service advised them to worship what they knew rather than what they didn’t know. The clergyman, who did not mention his name, spoke in Igbo and said people had used the words of Bethsaida, Jericho, Samaria, and some other biblical locations to compose songs without knowing the meaning of those locations.

Supported by joy and commendations from the congregation, the cleric, who did not mention his name, began singing a praise song in reverence to the Ogbanje while the church members cheerfully danced around in joy.

He said, “People usually sing and dance to songs composed with names and places in the Bible while they do not actually know who, what, or where they are and what they represent. It is high time we started going back to our culture and tradition.

“People should start singing songs composed with names of rivers known to them and the goddesses of those rivers, rather than singing and dancing to the names of what they don’t know.” Together with the congregation, he mentioned some names of rivers and some river goddesses in the area, including Obò River, Mmiri Ele, Orasò River, Mmiri Edo, Ofala River, Ota, and Ezu River, among others.

While proudly identifying as an Ogbanje, the cleric claimed that he and other Ogbanje “usually shine, prosper and live fine from year to year because they worship the rivers and the goddesses of the rivers they know rather than those unknown to them”.
