The [[Igbo people]] practice a form of monotheism called [[Odinani]].<ref>{{cite book|title=Ikenga International Journal of African Studies|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yAcOAQAAMAAJ|access-date=26 July 2013|year=1972|publisher=Institute of African Studies, University of Nigeria.|page=103}}</ref> Odinani has monotheistic and panentheistic attributes, having a single God as the source of all things. Although a pantheon of spirits exists, these are lesser spirits prevalent in Odinani expressly serving as elements of Chineke (or [[Chukwu]]), the supreme being or high god.

[[Waaq]] is the name of a singular [[God]] in the traditional religion of many [[Cushitic languages|Cushitic]] people in the [[Horn of Africa]], denoting an early monotheistic religion. However this religion was mostly replaced with the [[Abrahamic religions]]. Some (approximately 3%) of [[Oromo people|Oromo]] still follow this traditional monotheistic religion called [[Waaqeffanna]] in [[Oromo language|Oromo]].
