just got some cool pictures from the rivers state carnival... some people think carnivals in nigeria always copy from the caribean culture but ours is a mixture of our rich cultural heritage (friday 14th of december)and an international parade (saturday 15th of december).. calabar city is the best when it comes to carnivals but portharcourt is equally cool. and ours represent our nigerian culture more... just take a look

im trying to upload the pictures.. just give me time

here goes

boat reggada and cultural display

the float continues

the regetta continues with a floating masquerade

so much fun

ikwerri local goverment float

the bonny colonial masters

the elderly are not left behind

I miss those days when our local culture amounted to something.

What is a mini "ijele" doing at the carnival ??

I see sum fellas hangin chain bullet wf red beret and carryin AK47.........is dt not Mend?

Dis carnival was poorly organised compared 2 some carnivals i've witnessed. And if u learn hw much was actually spent in organising d carnival u'll weep. D only thing good abt it was d money it created 4 d petty traders doin business at d carnival village.

Copycat. Brazilians and the Caribbeans do it best.

Which LGA is the militAnt people from?
