The Egwugwu
The egwugwu (e-woo-woo) are the tribal council of all the nine villages. What they say is final. In comparison to modern days, they are the supreme court. There are certain customs that must be upheld including the ceremonies and rituals involved. The egwugwu are always masked, so that nobody knows the identities of the members.
