Masquerades are a good source of Entertainment to the Igbo People
One of the few occasions, when you can see a large gathering of the Igbo group of southeast Nigeria, is during their annual masquerade festival.
Igbo brothers and sisters within Nigeria and Overseas take some time from their place of work and business to come to watch the colorful mmanwu or masquerades display their singing or dancing capabilities. In Obinagu Udi of Enugu state, both the young and old come out in numbers in the evening times, which is the best time for masquerades or mmanwu to come perform.
