Agbala is the Oracle of the Hills and the Caves. It is her spirit who comes upon Chielo and causes Chielo to prophesy Agbala's message to the people. The spirit can come upon different people (we know this because the priestess was a woman named Chika when Okonkwo was still a boy).
Nneka was the first woman to join the Christians in the village. She felt rejected by the village because when all of her children were been born twins, they were thrown into the Evil Forest to die.
