The Chamba are a significant ethnic group in the north eastern Nigeria.

[1] The closest Chamba neighbours are the Mumuye, the Jukun and Kutep people.

The Chamba people, also known as Samba, Tchamba, Tsamba, Daka and Chamba-Ndagan, are an ethnic group found in the Adamawa State of North-East Nigeria and neighboring parts of north Cameroon.

The central area is where the Chamba Daka (Sama Nnakenyare) live.

That area is found in North east of Nigeria on the Cameroon border in Adamawa State.

They follow the same style and sophistication as humans, but they are believed to be wiser and with supernatural power.

The Chamba traditionally live in grassland areas, farming cereal staples, and cash crops such as cocoa and coffee.

[9] These clans work based on the collective belief in "the authoritative masculinity of relatively older men and women.

The areas of the bush closest to the village are places that the Chamba collect materials for building fires, making utilitarian objects like baskets and mats, hunting, and gathering.

These cults can control these misfortunes and cure diseases based on how the members perform rituals and make payments.

There are both men's and women's cults that an individual may only gain membership through an initiation process.

Circumcision is a part of the men's cult initiation, through which the process allows boys to enter into manhood.

The masks function in conjunction with Chamba events like circumcision, initiation of chiefs, and funerals.

When they perform for special occasions, the masks leave the bush and enter into the village.

In volumetric double form statues, two upper bodies share one pair of legs.
