This is a unique culture of the Themne people of Sierra Leone.... Should I disagree with other narratives of the origins of Ojeh? Ojeh is definitely Egugu, of the Yoruba of Nigeria and Benin. But the Ojeh in Sierra Leone is only practiced by the Themne tribe. History tells that the Themne migrated to the northwest of Sierra Leone from beyond the the Futa Djallon mountains 5-8 centuries ago before the arrival of the Mane or today Mende. These Themnes are very likely connected to the people of Benin and the Yoruba peoples culturally.....And the Ojeh didn't just start among the Themne with the arrival of the Creoles and the colonial English.... its always been there within the Themne people particularly at the village level. Please listen to the Themne songs being sang. They have nothing to do with the repatriated or Creole settlers and indeed the English.....Ojeh maybe Argoo or Koskos is a unique culture of the Themne people and not plugged from the Creole or the Repatriated as assumed. The Creole form of masked street dancers is called "Hunting", which is a celebration of seasonal wild boar slaughtering......

@@wellbodisalone A culture that is so boring. This is actually a culture that originated from Nigeria among the Yoruba people. It came to Sierra Leone through the Atlantic Slave Trade. When slave abolitionists working together with the British Royal Navy capturing slave ships on their way to the Americas and the human cargo of those slave ships where returned back, mainly in Sierra Leone (Free Town or the Free Town Peninsular). It happens to be some of those liberated Slaves were from Nigeria from the Yoruba Tribe. So these Yorubas settling in Freetown and the Free Town Peninsular brought this culture to Sierra Leone and it has spread all over the country, especially among the Temne Tribe. The word OJAH is a Colloquial name for society of Yoruba origin that emerged from among the so-called 'liberated Africans' [i.e. those rescued from slave ships by the Royal Navy] in Freetown and the villages of the Sierra Leone peninsula in the course of the 19th century. Its Yoruba name is egugu or agoogoo
