O.D.O aka The Zikmaker, aka Mani O.D

I Come From a Family with Strong Beliefs in Natural and Spiritual Traditions of Gabon. Growing up I had The Chance to Experience The Virtue of Bwete, Which is a Spiritual Ceremony Where One Has To Swallow “The Sacred Root” ( Iboga or Ibogaine) in Order To Confront His Problems, Be Able to Discover Himself and Find The True Meaning of His Presence On Earth. I’ve Also Experienced a Different Approach of Manhood When I had To Go from Teenager To Man. I Was Blessed to Be Able To Meet Some of The Last Holders of Bwete and Mwiri Knowledge; I Met Them in Lopé, in The So Called Forest of The Bees. I’ve Spent Some Time There To Elevate My Soul and Relearn About The Meaning of Life. This Experience Really Helped me in Finding My Mission and Destiny. Today, I am Proud to Say That I Come From a Little Country Named Gabon, Which is Known as The Last Eden on Earth, and I will Always Keep My Culture and Pass it On to My Descendants.
