== Possession/sickness == The Commi tribe believed that when someone is severely ill, an Obambou is a likely culprit which can be determined by a doctor or "Ogounga". The Obambou will reside in the bowels of humans until family, friends and neighbors surround the possessed person and make noise however they can. The people will sing, dance, yell, and bang things together. They do whatever makes noise to drive out the Obambou.
