He finds that he cannot do the work alone and so he appoints kotma to help him.
It is the same with God, or Chukwu. He appoints the smaller gods to help Him because His work is too great for one person. And the worst thing about it is that you give all the worship to the false gods you have created. We make sacrifices to the little gods, but when they fail and there is no one else to turn to we go to Chukwu. It is the right to do so. We approach a great man through his servants.
