 Dibia and obia practices were transported to the British Caribbean during the slave trade and became known as obeah.The name of divination in Igbo derives from "ígbá áfà" or "áhà" meaning 'to name' coming from the diviners skill in rooting out problems hence naming them.The dibia or "ogba afa", 'interpreter of afa', is considered a master of esoteric knowledge and wisdom and igba afa is a way in which people can find out the cause of such things as misfortunes.
