	[1117] The concept of Mammywata in Flora Nwapa's novels
		Customary life in Oguta is based on Omenala, the ancestral rules of the land, the laws of the earth goddess, Ani/Ala, and of the water goddess, Uhammiri.
		As Oguta kinship is patrilineal, (22) relatives of the husband of a barren wife or a woman who has only daughters or whose children have died encourage and expect the man to marry an additional wife, to ensure that his lineage continues.
		According to one Oguta myth, a man who had killed the river goddess Abia's favorite animal, the crocodile, in her sacred grove, was instantly killed by a python, for in Oguta the crocodile is another sacred animal that must not be killed or eaten.
