Igba ekpe
Summary
[edit]DescriptionEkpe Festival in Abia State, Nigeria.jpg |
English: This picture depicts what is called 'Igba Ekpe' in Igbo language which is about masquerading. It is an annual event that showcases the culture of the Eastern Nigeria where a man can be given the title for instance of 'Ogbuefi' or 'Ogbu agu' based on the animal he has killed. It requires some kind of bravery to kill a cow, let alone a lion. In this festival, a lion isn't killed but three goats would be killed for three consecutive years under the supervision of the elders and the people in the village. When this tradition has been carried out by the selected youth and the task had been successful completed at once without fear or missing the head of the animal, the selected youth would be upgraded to killing a cow.
