The "Leopard Slayer" title in Nigeria is a traditional mark of prestige, historically given to those who killed a leopard and was associated with bravery. Today, due to conservation efforts and the scarcity of leopards, members achieve the title by paying a substantial fee to the Igbuu Society of south-eastern Nigeria. This male-only society maintains its ancient rituals reflecting the cultural heritage of Oguta, promoting social status and community respect for its members. Despite its exclusivity and cost, the tradition thrives by adapting modern practices, its influence seen both locally and in the diaspora, sustaining cultural ties and economic benefits in the community.
