Aku Biakor is an Aku Kwabolu offshoot religion founded by Shuya Gburun Jubiakor in the 32nd century CY. The religion centers around the teachings of Nyamu thinker Sakha Biakor as detailed in Guduri Jàŋųrų Mōkṑrų Kų̀la ("[the] explanations/teachings of his divine understandings"), a compilation of Biakor's teachings curated by the religion's founder. Adherents of Aku Biakor are called akia, while adherents call each other nabu ("piece" or "body part", noting that the believer is a part of Yajā Àṣìakɔ's eternal body), and the larger Aku Biakor church as a mass is called the Akianyia. Aku Biakor is the largest Aku Kwabolu offshoot and the most prominent religion in the eastern Nkungu area, playing a major role in its collective history and culture, especially that of its origin Khobeh. The Ndizu Jų̄ru is the central governing body of the Akianyia, of which the Jų̄ Asìla is the head. The Akianyia primarily believes that Yajā Àṣìakɔ, instead of being the traditional distant entity, is actually the essence of all existence. Every god, spirit, and realm is believed to be the manifestation of Yajā Àṣìakɔ.

The Guduri

The Guduri Jàŋųrų Mōkṑrų Kų̀la (simply Guduri) is a six-part compilation of Sakha Biakor's transcribed teachings as curated by founder Shuya Gburun Jubiakor, which serves as the central text of Aku Biakor. The Guduri has six ifą̀, each of which have seperate chapters (ifą̄̀jų), which consist of individual verses (ñàkų). Each ifą̀ is a sermon (or two spliced together) which Sakha Biakor historically recited to Shuya for him to transcribe.

Books of the Guduri

Bosso title	Translation	Summary
	'Beginning'	Shortest ifą̀ in the entire Guduri, only containing 4 ñàkų. A short prayer which Sakha Biakor often recited before his sermons.
	'our World and Realms'	Explains Aku Biakor cosmology and spiritual belief
	'Man and Yaja'	Social commentary, the foundation of Aku Biakor social doctrine
	'Stories'	Two extensive religious fables joined together in one ifą̀

Aku Biakor also has a secondary text, the Ifą̀ Akųyañayamala, a much shorter compendium of Shuya's own writings detailing the Akianyia's early history and its practices. Unlike the Guduri, using the Ifą̀ Akųyañayamala in worship is prohibited.
