 Kola nut ("ọ́jị̀", or "ọ́jị̀ Ìgbò") offerings and prayers ("ị́gọ́ ọ́jị̀", 'kola nut blessing', "ị́wá ọ́jị̀", 'kola nut breaking') can be performed personally between one and his spirit or in a group in a form of a prayer or chant.The saluter addresses their personal god or chi as well as alusi and their ancestors.These kola nuts are held in a special round bowl called "ọ́kwá" with a compartment at the centre of the bowl for condiments for the kola nut such as alligator pepper (or "capsicum cayene", "ósẹ̀ ọ́jị́") and ground peanuts.
