Time of Ekpo Ebbing as Nigerian Youth Challenge Tradition
Doris Engstrom and husband Dean, missionaries in Nigeria, describe Ekpo, a male secret society active during a season. Members wear grasslike costumes and hoot as they patrol. forbidden for women and children to view. Outlawed in one area, a clash with girls mowing a school field signals a shifting culture. The incident, with machetes drawn, ends with a faculty warning. the tradition may be fading as a new generation rises.
