Nairalander01:
cant say...may be na fear mixed with my personal belief(s).
Bia I wan Know how them take dey do that thing sef...care to share

Read the original post again. I cant divulge the main ones, but i will share just two with you.

(1) Boiling and eating the spirit yam
Ingredients: yam with equal measure of fresh pepper without palm oil. You are expected fetch fire wood, then boil the yam filled with so much pepper while being flogged mercilessly by many masquerades. When the yam is half done, you then start feeding with bare hands directly from the hot boiling pot till its finished. Ofcourse this takes place midnight and their will be other youngsters sharing this deadly supper with you

(2) Anthill bedrest.
This comes after you must have finished the pepper filled pirit yam. Then palm oil is rubbed over your naked body and you are made to lie down on the ant hill. The smell of the palm oil attracts the soldier ants which attacks your bruised body in their thousands.

Note: This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Nairalander01:
When I was much my parents left me with my paternal grand parents in the village and one day the old man (my grand father) called me and told me in clear terms that I was of age and must be initiated in to the masqurade cult and vehemtly refused and he said to me that until I accept to be initiated that I should never look at him in the eye while talking to him. I gave him

So did you later blend?

Ok
Women and male non initiates can share their close encounters with masquerades

The Igbos are renowned for their music/dancing style coupled with their exceptional colourful masquerades (Mmanwu).
 It is generally believed in Igboland that Masquerades are the spirits of dead ancestors called up through series of rituals and incantations. According to popular myth, masquerades represent incarnated ancestral spirits visiting their descendants on earth to entertain, give guidance and exorcise evil spirits. 
The Igbo masquerades are traditional performances carried out by exclusive secret groups within a Community. These exclusive groups consist of adult males and each member must be initiated into the group with their identity known only to their fellow members. 
The process of initiation or "Iba Mmanwu" in Igbo parlance differs from town to town but one central theme is that the initiates who are usually males of a certain age limit are made to undergo cleansing and rigorous "blending and mending" of which the process involved will not be elaborated here.
After the initiation, the men are subjected to an oath of secrecy since they are not allowed to disclose to anyone especially women, the mystery surrounding the "Mmanwu Cult". Failing to keep this secret though has its consequences which is clearly spelt out and includes mysterious illness or death. 
The main feature of an Igbo masquerade is their brutality (whipping) and Unique dancing style which is quite entertaining and spell binding not forgetting their aura which sends chills down the spines of non-initiates. Some names of great masquerades in Igbo land include Agaba, okwo mma, Ijele, Izaga, iga atani, Odogwu anya mmee etc.
Legend has it that masquerades where used as law enforcement agents to instill order and implement policies during the olden days of which the practice is still existence in most if not all parts of Igbo land till date.

So are you an initiate? If yes thread is for you.

Caution: Please, women should not comment and should read thread with one eye closed. Pregnant women and male non initiates should avoid thread.

Join me in wishing them the best of wedLOCK

The German city of Braunschweig cancelled a planned carnival parade Sunday because of a “specific threat of an Islamist attack”, police said.

The event, which was to begin at 1120 GMT, was called off following a tip by “reliable state security sources”, police said in a statement.

“Police request all visitors not to go to the planned parade route or not to make the trip to Braunschweigin the first place,”the statement said.

Police chief Michael Pientka told public broadcaster NDR there was no link between the cancellation and two fatal attacks in Copenhagen Saturday, which had come little more than a month after Islamist attacks in Paris that left 17 people dead.

Organisers said the annual event in Braunschweig was normally the biggest parade in northern Germany during February’s Roman Catholic carnival season with up to 250,000 visitors expected.

More than 4,000 participants in fancy dress march down a six-kilometre (four-mile) route through the city.

The decision to call it off was taken by Mayor Ulrich Markurth and the parade’s marshal, Gerhard Baller.

“This is asad day for our city,” Markurth told NDR. “The assessment of the police however left uswith no other choice.”

Last month, Germany’s biggest carnival procession, in the western city of Cologne, banned a float paying tribute to the slain cartoonists of French magazine Charlie Hebdo due to security fears.

The float design, selected in an online popular vote, featured a man dressed in black with an explosives belt and a drawn gun and a jester shoving apencil down its barrel.

The carnival committee said that it backed the message of the float defending free speech and freedom of the press.

But it had received “messages from concerned locals which we take seriously”, though organisers admitted there was “no indication” from the police of a credible terror threat.

As General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) prepares for the task ahead in leading above her current challenges, I have seen some folks beating up their rusty chest that if Jonathan is voted out for his failures, that there will be crises in the Niger-Delta by militants to disrupt revenue generated through the Oil sector. This is a very wrong assertion - one disconnected from reality.

As we have seen in this 2015, unlike what was obtainable in 2011, General Buhari have far more supporters both among the elites and the voters in the Niger-Delta region. Not only is it a fact that Buhari will get more votes this 2015 that all his other outings combined, the region will also play leading roles in the next administration to see that dividends of democracy reaches everyone like it will in every other Regions of the Federation.

As for Militancy, MEND already supports Buhari. People like Asari and Tompolo can either make their communities a WarZone or work with Buhari to bring the needed Industrialization, Job Opportunities and Massive development to the South-South that has supported Nigeria for Decades with natural resources from the zone. The choice is theirs. Am optimistic they will make the right call for the sake of the good people of Niger-Delta. What SS need is not just more money, but projects, infrastructures and opportunities that will positively impact the lives of the people in true reflection of the wealth under their feet.

General Muhammadu Buhari's led government will not allow all the wealth and benefits that is accruable to the good people of Niger-Delta to settle only in the pocket of few greedy elites, while the masses suffer. No, that will not be allow to continue.

After 6yrs in power and Trillions of Naira spent, in Port Harcourt, President Jonathan accepted that he did nothing for the people of South South and resorted back to the same "I-Will-Do" that he promised them in 2011. We say No to Jonathan's incompetence.

Vote for Progress. Support Buhari for competent leadership. God bless Nigeria!
