- "Mgbom is composed of three main wards, and three subvillages, each composed of a single ward. The three subvillages are in a nrth-south line along the edge of a small ridge about a mile from Agbogo, the nearest ward of the main village. Achara has its own secret society initiation bush, and owns the ancient leaders' masks for the secret society okunkpa plays in Mgbom."
