What is "akongo"

Akongo is a Creator God in African mythology. He is worshipped by the Ngombe people of the Congo.

The Christian faith and non-Christian religions explains that Akongo "is not impersonal, like Mana: indeed the people make a clear distinction between the latter and Akongo himself...on the other hand, he is not universally benevolent"

According to legend, "Akongo once lived among men", but he became repulsed by man's "lack of restraint that he went off by himself into the deep forest, where he hid".
