Ekwensu is a deity in the traditional Igbo religion of Nigeria, often associated with chaos, mischief, and the spirit of the wilderness. He is considered a trickster figure, embodying the unpredictable aspects of life and nature. Ekwensu is sometimes linked to the concept of Evil but also represents the balance between good and bad forces in the universe. In Igbo cosmology, Ekwensu plays a role in the spiritual and moral lessons of the community. He is often invoked in rituals and stories to teach about the consequences of actions and the importance of wisdom. His character serves as a reminder of the duality of existence, where both light and darkness coexist.
