The spirituality of Mbieri people is typified by the reverence of Nnudo deity. The Nnudo deity is housed at Afor Nnudo shrine and in the custody of the Chief priest of Nnudo. It is to this effect that the Ayamgba festival of Ubakuru is incomplete without a homage to the deity.

Mbieri has a national organization that was founded on the belief that it is only through collective action from all Mbierians residing in the USA that the organization can successfully tackle the immense problems facing the people in Mbieri and the socio-economic problems of Mbierians here in the USA. The organization's website is located at http://www.mbieri-usa.org and is a non-profit national organization of all Mbierians in the USA, represented through our regional USA-based chapter organizations. These chapters are registered Mbieri organizations located in defined regions, whose members are Mbieri people and others interested in promoting the objectives of the national organization. Established in 2000, Mbieri Nwaotuoke USA Inc. is dedicated to advocating a unified, collective vision for the development of Mbieri, and facilitating the economic empowerment of Mbieri people in the USA and in our ancestral home, Mbieri, in Imo State, Nigeria.
