In afa two or more people are involved, they are the professional and the client(s). The professional is the dibia afa (diviner).The diviner normally does his work of divination with certain instruments depending on his methodology. This was to say that there are many methods of divination. These are ugiri (beads) method, water method, palm reading method, cola nut method, etc. These were studied. It was found that divination is a call, not all comers affair and false diviners give rise to false interpretation of afa messages. Becoming a diviner after confirmation of one's call, one has to undergo training and initiation proper. These days diviners abound in christiandom
