The Igbos recognize that being alive among 7.6 billion people and still feeling lonely is one of the biggest human curses. The problem of loneliness may not be easy to solve sometimes, some lonely people slip into depression and take their own life.

Igbo wisdom believes that If God is the most powerful and can do all things, then he must be the brother, sister and companion to that lonely person.
So the Igbos call God "Nwanne otu onye", it losely translates to "companion to the lonely".

If you believe in God and you are somewhere going through a lonely life right now, always remember Nwanne otu onye 🌹
