For just as many centuries, African traditionalists objected: "How can God, who is spirit, become flesh? If He becomes a man, He ceases to be God. He cannot be in heaven and on earth at the same time." But the traditionalist objection collapses when placed against the backdrop of Annang cosmology—specifically, several well-documented phenomena: 1. Owoden Itiaba (Seven-Man): Abasiekong Umoren Ekut, a chief priest, could appear in seven different villages simultaneously, fighting wars in all of them at once. His people called him Owoden Itiaba—the man who is seven. 2. Metamorphosis (Leopard): Essien Amankpa could transform into a leopard i...
