Inam

The Ibibio people inhabit the coast southern Nigeria. Their religion, Inam, centers on the pouring of libation, sacrifice, worship, consultation, communication and invocation of the God of Heaven (Abasi Enyong), the God of the Earth (Abasi Isong) and the Supreme Being (Abasi Ibom) by the king of a particular Ibibio Community. Ibibio religion also centers on the worship, consultation, invocation, sacrifice, and appeasement of the God of Heaven and the God of the Earth through various invisible or spiritual entities, the me Ndem. The Ibibio believe that same type of existence is led by the dead as by the living. The next world has the same appearance as this world but only those animals, plants and foods which have been sacrificed in honour of the dead are transported there.
