The Difference Between Ọfọgoli and Akọlọgheri

by Ngige Nwachukwu

Ọfọgoli is steep in social crimes like theft, womanising, alcohol and other petit crimes but Akọlọgheli is a social deviant whose key to life is turned by unseen hands of fate.

Often, he is a never do well. These unseen hands could turn him mildly mad, eccentric, re-incarnative disposition, and behaviours inclined to the control of the supernatural and to the utter helplessness of the subject. Akọlọgheli is deeply controlled by spiritual forces while ọfọgoli is agafu, a social misbehaviour that can be controlled or conditioned by environmental factors.
