It was an exciting and colourful display of culture as the large town of enugwu-ukwu celebrated their ipia agba mmonwu festival few days ago.


The festival is celebrated at the towns mini arena, its all about strength and endurance as masquerades take turn lashing heavily at each other to the entertainment of their spectators (mostly the good people of Enugwu ukwu both in diaspora).

Also notable appearance at the festival includes the great Mmanwu ugo(Eagle masquerade), a very revered masquerade in igbo land.

Worthy of mention is also the ijele masquerade...the biggest masquerade in sub-saharan Africa, its indeed a great work of art.

Notable sons of Enugwu ukwu
1. HRM igwe osita Agwuna III (eze ukwu Enugwu-ukwu)
2. Ken Erics(nollywood actor and film producer)
3. Nkem okeke(former deputy governor of the state)
4. Bennett omaru(Korean based professional basketballer)
And so many others...enjoy the view

Very nice.


Meanwhile my Agulu people banned their own masquerade.

sad for us ụmụ Agulu!.

BossGerald:


Very bad...the nneogidi festival that I've been yearning to see and also use the opportunity to take nice pictures of the great Agulu town.

The thing tire me, but I heard big masquerades are allowed though.

Sergio101:


very frustrating bro.

But Sha.... it's like they have unbanned it yesterday(they had meeting)

so let's watch out for almighty Umubiala day tomorrow .

I can't wait!!!!

BossGerald:


I think I'd create a thread about the town and the festival too...abeg help me gather many pictures.
