In traditional African "written and oral mythology", there are some set of advanced spiritual Souls who come to earth for a more special reason. This set of Souls are known as Ogbanje (in the Igbo language). The Ogbanje child ideology is a person who is incarnated from the Marine World and possesses some sort of mysterious powers to command their desires. This is an esoteric book that explains from a deeper point of view the mysteries surrounding an Ogbanje child, this enlightenment compiled in this esoteric book differs from popular beliefs as it takes you on a journey through the astral realms of the marine kingdom, the gods/goddesses, the worlds beneath the sea, it goes further into explaining from a mystical point of view what karma and reincarnation are, the phenomenon of an Ogbanje child (from a theoretical level to its practical application), it further explains the four elements and realms associated with them, the symbolism of serpents, and many more, and how to know if you are an OGBANJE CHILD, how to reconnect back to your SOURCE, be it WATER, EARTH, FIRE or AIR. This book is a must-read.

Nonye’s is an ancestral spirit – ‘an ogbanje’ who once born into the human world seals her mother’s womb, preventing her from conceiving more children. After Nonye is born, Nneoma, her mother, is desperate to have more children but is unsuccessful. Nneoma is convinced by the apostle, a religious fanatic, that Nonye is indeed an Ogbanje, and they must chase away the evil spirit that possesses her through violence and abuse. Nneoma implores the most brutal tactics to drive away the ancestral spirit abusing Nonye, inflicting mental trauma, starvation, neglect, and humiliation. In a riveting ending, Nonye becomes vengeful after losing her beloved grandmother.

"In Chris Cleave's 2008 novel Little Bee, he offers readers a literary representation of the Nigerian spirit-child for the purpose of political and post-colonial examination. Cleave's intentions are revealed through a full study of this traditional Nigerian concept. The Nigerian spirit-child, known as the ogbanje in the lgbo language and the abiku in the Yoruba language of Western Nigeria, is imprisoned in an endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. The concept of the ogbanje-abiku is indeed related to the overall concept of reincarnation, but it differs in the sense that the child who is unduly linked to the spirit world cannot complete a normal life cycle, thereby challenging tribal fertility, one of the most fundamental principles of West African culture. The repeated pre-natal, neo-natal, or early childhood deaths of the ogbanje-abiku render useless the aim of procreation. In the rare case that an ogbanje-abiku reaches adulthood, by prior pre-natal agreement with her spirit brothers and sisters, she often will die suddenly at a major life event- a titling ceremony or marriage celebration, for instance. Because a child is normally seen as a boon in West African culture, the phenomenon of the ogbanje-abiku cracks the foundation of this traditional assumption. The ogbanje-abiku is, therefore, marginalized within society for choosing to be born to die, but this supposition of choice is often imposed upon the spirit-child. The ogbanje-abiku phenomenon is contingent upon a rigid set of traditional values and belief patterns, but many Nigerian writers seek to reveal the "other" side of the spirit-child's story. In essence, the ogbanje-abiku is a cultural enigma, seeming to unsteadily walk the line between life and death and good and evil"--Document.

“Ogbanje” Twins and Other Stories By: Keemholems Ojei Ejime and Onyishi were born identical, and quite brilliant, twins. Their birth process was witnessed by their helpless, impoverished father in their sitting room. The twins survived, but their mother died just a few minutes after giving birth to them. This tragedy could have been a mirror of their mother’s nightmare a few nights before, in which she was in communication with her late father who laid a curse upon her. The pretty twins grew up motherless under the tutelage of their father, Chris, and a maid. Their excellent results in pure sciences in their final high school exams catapulted them into the limelight from obscurity. They secured double scholarships from the state and federal government to study Electronics/Computer Engineering and Medicine respectively, in Cambridge University, Massachusetts, USA. But, by the impulse of man’s inhumanity to man, the influence of fate and what appeared like the “Ogbanje” spirit, wriggled out their ugly heads, and needed God’s urgent intervention. In this direction, the awkwardness of man’s wickedness to man dimmed a somewhat bright light.

Essay from the year 2020 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, , language: English, abstract: Toni Morrison died in 2019. But her literary legacy remains. The novel Beloved can be considered as a remarkable stepstone in her biography while it still, more than 20 years after being published, offers references and perspectives on the history and development of America. As a matter of authenticity Morrison used in her “American masterpiece” (Byatt) also elements that can be traced back to her early ancestors in Africa. The character of Beloved, who serves as a driving force in the novel, is to be analysed in this paper. Therefore, the investigation will focus on the question to what extent Beloved can be called an ogbanje. The phenomenon of ogbanje as a special kind of spirit child concept is widely common in Western Africa. Especially in Nigeria this “myth of fate” (Achebe) is largely spread and this density is also depicted in many Nigerian books. While the concept varies in certain aspects depending on the country or the region, there are some criteria that are common. These criteria are the base of the application to the character of Beloved in the later following analysis.

OGBANJE is a powerful book of the African experience as seen through the eyes of an ogbanje, a child who dies & is reborn repeatedly to the same mother. Ugo has lived previous lives but is considered a demon child by the present generation. In his prior incarnations Ugo found life to be utopic & close to nature, however, at the time of his arrival, things have changed considerably. The ogbanje child, young yet old & wise, takes matters into his own hands to institute the drastic changes necessary to restore normalcy & social harmony. Interwoven with a traditional African tale of life in the village, OGBANJE is a story of the human kitchen. It is about the difficulties of change & the elements of the African culture & tradition which are vital to the growth of man. Through poetic outcries the author provides insight to the emotional anguish of a people in turmoil. Despite the story being set in Africa, its themes can be easily translated to relevance in any country experiencing the unnerving social changes that are being seen today. OGBANJE manages to be entertaining while carrying an important message on cultural integrity & social justice.

Ada was born with one foot on the other side. Having prayed her into existence, her parents Saul and Saachi struggle to deal with the volatile and contradictory spirits peopling their troubled girl. When Ada comes of age and heads to college, the entities within her grow in power and agency. An assault leads to a crystallization of her selves: As?ghara and Saint Vincent. As Ada fades into the background of her own mind and these selves - now protective, now hedonistic - seize control of Ada, her life spirals in a dark and dangerous direction. Narrated from the perspectives of the various selves within Ada, and based in the author's realities, Freshwater explores the metaphysics of identity and being. Feeling explodes through the language of this scalding novel, heralding the arrival of a fierce new literary voice.
