{{Main|Nsude pyramid shrines}}
One of the unique structures of [[Igbo people|Igbo]] culture was the Nsude pyramids, in the Nigerian town of Nsude, northern [[Igboland]]. Ten pyramidal structures were built of clay/mud. The first base section was {{convert|60|ft|abbr=on}} in circumference and {{convert|3|ft|abbr=on|1}} in height. The next stack was {{convert|45|ft|abbr=on}} in circumference. Circular stacks continued to the top. The structures were temples for the god [[Ala (Odinani)|Ala]], who was believed to reside there. A stick was placed at the top to represent the god's residence. The structures were laid in groups of five parallel to each other. Because it was built of clay/mud like the Deffufa of Nubia, over time periodic reconstruction has been required.<ref>Basden, G.
