ABSTRACT
Like most Africans, the Igala people, hold certain strong views on life, death and the hereafter. This piece is a modest attempt at tabling before us very significant aspects of the traditional beliefs and practices which are to some extent peculiar to Igala people on death. Besides, it desires positing that such an understanding on death accentuates their overall perspectives on human life. While employing the social, historical and descriptive methods, the entire life of the human person is portrayed as cyclic. Death is not only seen negatively as a necessary end but also positively as a passage or gateway unto a much higher, enhanced and refined existence. The human person is thus motivated through such a reflection to become radically decisive on virtuous living.
