Why is the process of digging the iyi uwa always successful?

Answer 1

It may not be. Further, it is not guaranteed that the iyi-uwa is buried, merely hidden. But if a spot was chosen on the ground to dig, you would eventually come across rocks if you dug deep enough.

Answer 2

The process of digging the iyi uwa, or the sacred stone, is considered successful because it is believed to harness the power of divine forces. The rituals performed during the digging process are believed to appease the deities and ancestors, allowing them to intervene and grant success. It is a deeply spiritual and cultural practice that carries a strong belief in the efficacy of the ritual.
