Obassi is the supreme creator god of the people of Ekoi, who is based in Nigeria and Cameroon.

== Representation == Obassi consists of two distinct male gods, Obassi Osaw and Obassi Nsi, who originally occupied the same body. They eventually separated after creating the universe. Obassi Osaw rules over the skies, where humans are born, while Obassi Nsi rules over the Earth, where humans live and die. Obassi Osaw is featured more heavily in Ekoi myths involving the creation of natural phenomena.
