ABSTRACT
Of jujus there are two kinds, good and bad. The former are usually termed idemm by Ibibios and ndemm by Efiks, while the latter are called mbiam. In the old days there was a very famous juju at Idua Eket. In preparation for the initiatory feast many goats were brought, cows also, with yams and plantains innumerable; palm wine too and all that is necessary to make glad the hearts of guests. In great numbers they came and ate up all the good things provided for their entertainment. On great occasions a ram or goat is sacrificed. Straight to the feet of the priestess swims the central figure, while the rest stay a little way off.
