Ijele Masquerade

Ijele Masquerade known as the biggest Masquerade in Sub-Saharan Africa is a special intangible heritage that belongs to the Igbo People of Nigeria and was listed in UNESCO Archives as Intangible cultural element in need of urgent safe guarding. In many communities in the state of Anambra in South-Eastern Nigeria, celebrations, burial ceremonies and other special occasions during the dry season to evoke fertility and a bountiful harvest feature the performance of the Ijele masquerade.
== Historical Origin ==

That Ijele originated from old Anambra State in Nigeria many centuries ago is not in doubt. According to UNESCO recent (commentary ) on the Origin of Ijele Masquarade, It is believed that a dance group called Akunechenyi from Umuleri & Aguleri communities along the eastern tributaries of the River Niger in Anambra State gave rise to Ijele. It was originally intended to intimidate and scare away the early missionaries as well as celebrate royalty and greatness in Igboland.
However, the origin of Ijele according to available Oral story, emanated from Akwunechenyi dance group belonging to Umudiana Village of Ikenga Umueri. It was this very group that performed the first "izi egwu ijele"(introduction of the Mask) to other communities. The first Village to be introduced was Umuatuolu Village of Umueri, subsequently followed by Igboezunu Aguleri, Nsugbe, Nneyi Umueri, Nando, Awkuzu etc. Its pertinent to note that Igboezunu Aguleri was instrumental to introduction of the masquarade to Ivite Aguleri, Igbariamu, Nteje, and some other Villages outside Omabala areas.
In recognizing the roles played by Umueri in the Origin of Ijele, the Old Anambra State Government unanimously selected Umueri Ijele Cultural troupe, to represent the State in Festival of Art & Culture known as FESTAC 1977 of which the groups won various Awards & accolades for excellence from the Federal Government in (1977 ).
