Abaver, son of Jua, from Ukum (Benue State, Nigeria): the Primordial Custodian and Guardian, Sovereign Tutelary of the Ancestral Tiv Order.

Custodian of reproduction and continuity

His custodianship extended across all domains of reproduction and continuity:

  • Human conception and childbirth
  • Animal breeding and survival
  • Crop fertility and harvest cycles
  • Gestation, delivery, nourishment and renewal
  • The repair of barrenness in womb, land and lineage

Abaver is not Abraham

Abaver is not the same as Abraham, the father of the Christian faith and the foundational ancestor of Israel. In comparison, both modelled alignment with divine order within their own foundational ancestral lineage, but they are not of the same lineage, and they are not the same person.
