Where is Ijele?

Lol, you never start mentioning sef.....there was one like that I heard of that it occupies a hut n when you near the hut it'll be like someone is in there cuz it'll be breathing.....I've never been there tho buh I believe it.....jazz? Its real! N btw that masquerade comes out once in 3years then!!

Those masquerades actually represent other-worldly entities - extraterrestrials - that used to visit and live with us in ancient antiquity (and likely even had a hand in our creation). They are not just figments of our ancestors' imaginations. Their display at festivals is a commemoration and record of real historical occurrences.

adahib:
That's ekpe masquerade,not what you posted above..

What you posted is not ekpe. Ekpe is a society/cult. Okonko is the name of the masquerade you posted, it's a masquerade exclusive to the Ekpe cult group. Both you and the Op are wrong.

Beautiful!

I knew Eyo was going to top that list.

Eyo has Ijebu origin I believe.

No, Its Origin is from Republic of Benin...it was a gift given to the Oba of lagos then when he lost one of his wife and the oba in Benin paid him a visit.....To know more fact about Eyo, please google it in Lagos state archives, that's where I got this.

Ekpe wasnt even the most feared when i was growing up. They were however the most repected... With elite society members.

There was Nnabo. That one followers dey carry coffin and sharpened swords in broad day light. There were even times they clashed with Agaba and fought.

Then there are some even more deadly ones that come out only at night with strange voice Women shouldnt dare to look

All wat d OP posted re not even close to. Feared..

In d east dem plenty jst can't remember their names buh Ijele, izaga, nd diz very1 dat has smoke everytym on its head.

Abii u wan try Tiv's der own masqurade wiv enough juju..

Of all these, dat very masqurade that grows tall nd d nxt minute its a piece of cloth is 1 I can't figure d magic behind.

Big shout out to ODO masqurade of ndi Ngwo in Enugu...

nedu2000:

They are humans in costumes representing spirits and deities which are intangible. They are like living idols of the Gods.

When a spirit dancer dons his costume he assumes the role of the spirit. Real ones are supposed to get high and become posesssed by the spirit itself.

This is why they dance and drink palm wine, etc.

[size=28pt]I PREFER TO CALL THESE AS SPIRIT DANCES AND NOT masquerades.

Let us empancipate ourselves from these colonial terms.[/size]

Boko haram should be on that list

There is nothing fearful about these rubbish things called Masquerades. Real story, I travelled to my maternal home state where I grew up as a teenager. I heard a lot of dangerous stories about these silly things and I started looking forward to have an encounter with these masquerades

In nutshell, opportunity presented itself and

Boko haram is the most dreaded masquerade in nigeria with the chief priest sheakua and his priest male and female suicide bombers

Op weldon oh.So u still dey worship juju for this 21 Century?

Nkita Oku (an ekpo masquerade). With its torch in its right hand and it's steel saber in the other, Nkita Oku is sure to evoke fear and awe.
