The Difference Between ‘Chukwu’ and ‘Chi’
A thread
The name Chukwu is a combination of two Igbo words: Chi (spirit) and Ukwu (great). Therefore, Chukwu literally means “The Great Chi” the supreme, almighty spirit that governs the universe.
Chukwu is the ultimate creator, the source of life, the being above all beings. In many ways, Chukwu functions like the God figure in monotheistic religions: invisible, all-knowing, all-powerful, and eternal.
But here’s where Igbo philosophy goes deeper.
Chukwu doesn’t just stay above. He shares a part of Himself with every human being. That shared spark of the divine is called your Chi.The Difference Between ‘Chukwu’ and ‘Chi’ A thread 🧵 The name Chukwu is a combination of two Igbo words: Chi (spirit) and Ukwu (great).

• “The blockade was carried out by Biafran soldiers, not the Federal Government.”
• “The death toll was in the hundreds, not millions.”
• “I blame Ojukwu for the failure of the Aburi Accord,” etc.
For the past few days, Yakubu Gowon has been blatantly lying about the genocide he committed against the Igbo people, which claimed over 5 million lives. The blockade-induced kwashiorkor killed more people than gunfire.
