Meaning

  1. Fertility goddess; it means power and strength; 1. *An entity associated with Chukwu 2. The Shrine or the Oracle of this entity. A dialectal variant of Agbara *Onwuejeogwu suggests that it has to do with the procreative aspect of Chi. Basden associated it with ọmụmụ, which has to do with fertility in women; this could explain the term "Agbala nwanyi".
