“Amadioha as a personal shrine is a spirit of enterprise that brings wealth. It is also a representative of the head of the household. Therefore, the people from Ozuzu town in Etche Local Government Area of River State of Nigeria do not eat Etu (special cow meat) because Amadioha (deity god) hates it”
