Compliments

As easy as ABCD

Generates incorrect results.

Gave Nkwo for the summary at the top but the generator reported Eke, for same day 29/May/2022.

Ifechi

Nwanne good job on the app. I just doenloaded it and i just so hapoen to be in Texas when i did it and probably the same county as you.

But please note that in Ani Gbo / Ancient Land, that the market day shigts evrynight at 6pm.....

So inthibk thr next set of updates should be a different interface displaying the changing of the times.

meaning that when you wake up it might be Orie day but Mgbochi Afo will fall at 6pm that same "Day"

Also please make everything in igbo language.

We have names for our month/ Onwa

November / December / January are NOT part of the Igbo calender. That’s the calendar for Christians

Major updates are needed obviously but I’m happy you made this
Ọnwa Abụo Edit
This month is dedicated to cleaning and farming.

Ọnwa Ife Eke Edit
Is described as the fasting period, usually known as “Ugani” in Igbo meaning 'hunger period'. It is the period in which all must fast in sacrificial harmony to the goddess Ani of the Earth. Many communities host competitive wrestling events in this month as it is dedicated to finding one's Ikenga through conquering personal and communal struggle.

Ọnwa Anọ Edit
Ọnwa Anọ is when the planting of seed yams start. In many communities this is the month of the Ekeleke dance festival which emphasizes optimism, sustaining your belief in God through hardships and the coming of better days.

Ọnwa Agwụ Edit
Ịgọchi na mmanwụ come out in this month which are adult masquerades. Ọnwa Agwu is the traditional start of the year.[9][10] The Alusi Agwu, after which the month is named, is venerated by the Dibia (priests), by whom Agwu is specifically worshipped, in this month.

Ọnwa Ifejiọkụ Edit
This month is dedicated to the yam deity ifejioku and Njoku Ji and yam rituals are performed in this month for the New Yam Festival.

Ọnwa Alọm Chi Edit
This month sees the harvesting of the yam. This month is also a time of prayer and meditation for women. The Alom Chi is a shrine or memorial a woman builds in honor of her ancestors. This month is dedicated to reconnecting with the ancestors by breaking kola and holding communion with them. Onwa Alom Chi is also dedicated to venerating mothers and motherhood, honoring womenhood, remembering ones 'first mother' (the woman which all of humanity and creation comes from) as well as connecting one's children, including those that are yet to be born.

Ọnwa Ilo Mmụọ Edit
A festival called Önwa Asatọ (Igbo: Eighth Month) is held in this month.

Ana (or Ala) is the Igbo earth goddess and rituals for this deity commence in this month, hence it is named after her.
