For avoidance of doubt that pic is not ekpe. Ekpe is a society for which I am a member and the regalia does not have carvings on it. Ekpe belongs to the efiks and the Igbo people of Arochukwu and environs. We also write and decode nsibidi language

So that's not an epke constume?

Can you post a proper one?

This is an insult. You people don't have respect for culture of a people. I don't classify you among the people cos your heading '"most feared” shows you are brainwashed.
