Libation in Amasiri

Libation is like prayer, requesting for your desires to be granted by God. It is the art of tracing history, remembrance and asking for blessings from the ancestors during traditional gatherings. After this art is performed, the person who did it will have to pick a chip of kola nut and chew. When one finishes pouring libation, the young men around him will present him with gifts, mostly money.

Our forefathers really believed there is God but did not know the name; rather they were addressing him as "Obasi bu n'elu" - the God that lives in the sky, the creator that is up.
