One problem many of us have is that we do bastardize information, making it to lose meanings.
This Issue of Ekwensu that I am reading up and down these days is really terrible I must confess, people now twist the piece of information that came to us into something else. In case you don't know, may I inform you that I was the person that made that challenging publication few years back, clarifying how Ekwensu was interpreted as Devil when missionaries in their mission efforts preached that War (Ekwensu) was devilish, Same way I clarified my readers on how Uka and Ndi-Uka was tagged on Christians and Church. Ekwensu originally means War, Aya means crises etc. Now our traditional believe trusts on supernatural forces in everything, so they had shrines were they sacrificed to the unseen force that leads them to War, in my town it was called Ihu-Ekwensu and was sacrificed to every three or four years. Some communities's annual festival were they commemorate their life of wars were called "Igba-Ekwensu" my town calls it "Idu-Olu" with reason.
Any community that bears Umu-Ekwensu etc should not be thinking that they are being called "Children of the Devil", it simply means that they are children of war.
But for those trying to promote Idolatry thinking that they are waking up to reasonings, I will advise that you don't anger your creator please, seek for counseling when you are confused about something, don't fight what you don't know.
