Today I will be telling you about The Igbo myth of creation, that is about how the world was created according to the Igbo tribe.
For the Igbo people, they say the heavens were in good condition as all the Gods and Goddesses who they believed existed before humans lived together in one part of heaven. However, each one of them was selfish, and therefore very anarchical. This then became the cause of great worry in the heavens as jealousy and greed came upon these Gods and Goddesses. These deities were fighting against themselves just so they could obtain the powers of other gods. To stop this domineering attitude, a plan was then made by Chineke, the overall God. This was targeted at creating more people.
