Are Igbo Traditional Gods Just Different Names for the One True God?

I agree with this, I believe the Igbo's have one supreme God, but also have somewhat like a representative of God who intercedes for them to the one and only Chukwu Okike.
Just like Jesus interceded or stood in the way for us to God, but in this case Jesus is truly God. -

The igbos say that there's one God, then there are other spirits.
Same way in Christendom, we have one God, then, other levels of mystical beings.
When a town has a deity, I think it's more like the guardian of that town not really the God that rules all. 'somewhat correlational with patron saints of different towns in Catholicism'.
My thoughts... -
