Healer, Spiritual Protector, and Patriarch

Portrait of Onukogu

Onukogu was a great spiritualist, healer, protector, guide, and traditional doctor whose life became legend in Umudioka.

He was known for using many intriguing supernatural powers for protection, healing, and spiritual guidance. His name inspired respect and his deeds brought hope to thousands who sought his services from near and wide.

Among his many works, Onukogu nurtured and guarded the famous Ohia Ishi, the Sacred Forest. This sacred forest was energized by his charms, making it a place where no thief or intruder dared to enter. Anyone who entered without his permission would become blind and wander aimlessly until Onukogu brought them out.
