Understanding the 4 Igbo Market Days: Eke, Orie, Afor & Nkwo

And Their Spiritual Effect” The number “4” in Igbo culture denotes harmony, completeness, a perfect circle, same reason Orji (kolanut) that has been divided naturally into four (4) is  perfect  especially for prayers to your ancestors. The igbo market days holds a deep symbolic meaning, primarily through the four cardinal market days— Eke, Orie, Afor, and Nkwo —which represent the four essential elements of life: sun (fire), water, earth, and air, respectively. The Igbo Traditional Calendar Unlike the seven-day Gregorian calendar used worldwide, the Igbo calendar is built around a  four-day week . Each week begins again after Nkwo, repeating the cycle of  Eke → Orie → Afo → Nkwo .

Markets across Igboland are named after these days, and communities often identify themselves by which market day is most important to them. Dear Addicts Here – a PDF...
