Idemili is an ancient clan or tribe in Igbo land made up of people closely related in their way of life, culture, dialect, religion etc. The early Idemili people (pre-colonial era) are closely related by blood and practiced a common traditional religion by the worship of the Idemili deity. The coming of the colonial masters changed a lot of things, bringing divisions and many religions. But the great people of Idemili in present day Anambra State, to a large extent, still recognize themselves as one.
The people of Idemili are traditionally known for their reverence for Eke Idemili (Python), Idemili rivers among other things to be discoursed in future posts. Idemili people are also known for their economic process and success in almost every field of life.
