Egwu Adamma (Adamma dance, derived from the famous 'Agbogho mmuo' (maiden spirit) masquerades which symbolise female beauty and maidens. The story of Adamma was created during the early eighties, but Agbogho mmuo has been with the Igbo for a long time, specifically Anambra and Enugu Igbo) [flash=200,200] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbS_dIx_3Hc[/flash] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbS_dIx_3Hc |

Aloy.Emeka: Biko, of all the masquerades in Ijaw land, why you go bring this nonsense na? You could have brought the Pirirangala masquerade, which is 40 feet tall and dances on stilts, the Odum masquerade which is the sea snake and is 40 feet long and emerges from the river, or the flamboyant Pioru masquerade or the Egwein masquerade which floats on air and dances on water. If I had pictures I would post them. . . . . I doubt any masquerade can phock with the Odum. ODUM Celebrated by the Ijaws of Okrika in the Okrika Local Government area of Rivers state. It is celebrated once in 10years or at major occassions. The festival which displays a Boa constrictor masquerade on water, is very colorful, flamboyant and quite expensive to celebrate.The high point of the festival is the offer of gifts such as live goats or other animals which the odum swallows without blinking. |
