Masquerades are so entertaining

@memberbiebaragha3084

I take all these masquerade as I use them all to work for God Almighty.

@goldluck786

You could have just mentioned anambra masquerade, not igbo as a whole. You just listed an anambra masquerade that you know

@nhazarr

This is a very powerful compilation and narration. You did a great job. Thank you for showcasing the Igbo culture more

You mispronounced Ekpo. It’s called Ekpo not Ekpe. Ekpe is in a different category that is performed by members or the cults. It is only those that are familier to the cult that may stand in its way otherwise you risk being mercilessly flogged if you fail the to response to any of its code hand gesture. I am from Arochukwu and I know this because I have participated in both. Ekpo is generally for entertainment while Ekpe is used for final farewell to prominent chief and also a member of the cult.

So igbos a agree to serve evil and are not jews as pretended

@kingspat7250

Not ulaga is called Nmanwu

@paullutumbani751

Not well in order

@kelechialozie3522

This was done within the scope of someone who is only familiar with Anambra State and environs thus it is not representative of the entire Igbo nation,
What he referred to as Ulaga is generally known as Mmanwu
Also you can't talk about Igbo masquerades without talking about owu/okoroshi of Imo State, and Rivers state
Also what u referred to as Ekpe, is actually Ekpo
Ekpe is different, more generally known as Okonko
Lastly, ajofia is a specific individual masquerade, it is not a masquerade category
In conclusion, the work done is mediocre and not well researched

Igbo people do not have l

@Bswahbcukjdsyvcz8307

Nobody sees masqurades as supreme beings but spiritual as you'd argued futher.

@A-fg7ov

I love your channel and your focus entirely on Igbo land! Please do more videos on life in the village of Igbo states like Imo State particularly in Abba! Definitely subscribed, sharing, and watching!!!❤✨✨✨

@okeziefelix6562

Number eight is Called the Ozoebulu Masquerade.
It is the number one most popular masquerade in Igbo land because it's found in some zones of Anambra, Imo and Delta. It is a unique masquerade and more of a very Secrete CULT

@OmenUnusual
