The symbol and importance of Oji Igbo (Kola nut) in Igbo culture and tradition

There is a union between the natural and the supernatural in the Igbo society and Oji has received the most attention amongst Igbo cultural symbols. Ọjị Igbo (cola acuminate) is generally used during most Igbo traditional and social cultural events because etymologically, Oji means menala Jikọtara gbo (Custom that unites the lgbo). This is why Ndigbo use only Oji Igbo (Cola acuminate) during serious Igbo traditional ceremonies like Igba Nkwu (marriage) and sacrifices.
