Lesson 6
Igbo Time And Days
In this section, we will pay attention to periods in time. This will help us to know the names Igbo people use to refer to different segments of time.
Time (Oge)
Time is an observed phenomenon, by means of which human beings sense and record changes in the environment and in the universe. The earth has been divided into so-called time zones that reflect the fact that high noon occurs at different times at different places on the planet. It is also an indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole. It can be used to say that a particular time is right for something to happen.
