===African folklore=== For the [[Igbo people]], a man is simultaneously a physical and spiritual entity. However, it is his spirited dimension that is [[Eternity|eternal]].<ref name="quodlibet.net">{{cite web|url=http://www.quodlibet.net/articles/ozumba-africa.shtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101116162056/http://www.quodlibet.net/articles/ozumba-africa.shtml|archive-date=2010-11-16|title=G. O. Ozumba: African Traditional Metaphysics - Quodlibet Journal|website=www.quodlibet.net|access-date=2016-11-22}}</ref> In the [[Akan people|Akan]] conception, we witness five parts of the human personality. We have the Nipadua (body), the Okra (soul), Sunsum (spirit), Ntoro (character from father), Mogya (character from mother).<ref name="quodlibet.net"/> The [[Humur|Humr]] people of southwestern [[Kordofan]], [[Sudan]] consume the drink Umm Nyolokh, which is prepared from the [[liver]] and [[bone marrow]] of [[giraffe]]s. [[Richard Rudgley]]<ref>Rudgley, Richard ''The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Substances'', pub. Abacus 1998 {{ISBN|0 349 11127 8}} pps. 20-21.</ref> hypothesises that Umm Nyolokh may contain [[N,N-Dimethyltryptamine|DMT]] and certain online websites further theorise that giraffe liver might owe its putative psychoactivity to substances derived from [[psychoactive plant]]s, such as [[Acacia]] spp. consumed by the animal. The drink is said to cause hallucinations of giraffes, believed by the Humr to be the ghosts of giraffes.<ref>{{cite journal|author=Ian Cunnison|title= Giraffe hunting among the Humr tribe|journal=Sudan Notes and Records|volume=39|year=1958}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cracked.com/article/81_6-animals-that-can-get-you-high/|title=6 Animals That Can Get You High|access-date=18 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171215131307/http://www.cracked.com/article/81_6-animals-that-can-get-you-high/|archive-date=15 December 2017|df=dmy-all}}</ref>
