Real success is knowing you're a Child of the living God, through Jesus Christ. It does not really matter that what you drive is a simple car that costs less, as against driving one of the most talk about cars, or that you occupy or live in a busy area of the town, not in the GRA..

TOWARDS INCREASED UNDERSTANDING OF THE ANCIENT HERITAGE ART OF RAINMAKING IN IGBO LAND: ISSUES THAT CALLS FOR ATTENTION

By EMMANUEL .U. WOOD (National Commission for Museums and Monuments, Nigeria)

Abstract

Rain is the source of life for everything here on planet earth. It’s importance in Igbo society can never be over emphasized, considering that the Igbo Society is agrarian in nature, where majority of the population are farmers, whose livelihood are dependent on water which is affected by the rain. There are rainy and dry seasons annually in Igbo land. These seasons determine the community life of the people. Thus the change of seasons is observed with ritual activities.

The gathering cloud

 

These rites are central or crucial in strengthening community consciousness and solidarity. A huge number of Igbo communities practice traditional rainmaking rituals. Although rainmaking processes, materials and participants vary, most communities believe that the tradition enables them to predict, cause, redirect or dispel rainfall. Although some scientists have dismissed the practice as irrelevant, irrational and ineffective, others propose its integration to conventional meteorological approaches.
