Mmonwu is a traditional Igbo masquerade from southeastern Nigeria.
Mmonwu are traditional performances performed by hidden groups inside a community. Adult male members make up these restricted societies.
Every member of the society must be initiated. Only the other members are aware of their true identity. The primary purpose of these groups is to celebrate the harvest and entertain the villagers.
The Mmonwu festival usually lasts a few weeks. Some, on the other hand, may last several months. These activities are frequently held at the end of the harvesting season and the beginning of the new planting season.
