My brother na wa, I've never understood this our newfound fascination with Carnival. It just seems so forced.

OP, thank you for sharing the pictures.

wtf is this sheet?

obailala: Interesting... MEND is now our culture

Thank you my brother, you just took that from my mind. That picture of militants got me wondering too, are they not celebrating militancy and rebellion against the state? When children and the youth see such display, wont they be encouraged to do likewise? SMH

Rivers state have no business doing carnival, the resources and energy dissipated on this extravaganza, with little or no benefit to the local economy, would have been put to better use. Port Harcourt is too rowdy and energy sapping, so i don't think that any sane person will leave Calabar, Owerri, Enugu and Uyo, that are serene and tourist friendly for P.Harcourt. Amaechi should stop this madness, THIS IS MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN!

Idol worship!!!

Nawa oo. Even militants follow com gyrate.

Those guys with the MEND uniform and fake guns are actually walking to the stadium for a drama presentation on how they laid down their arms… and take note, we are not copying the carribean culture cos from the pictures, different cultural festivals were also included in the carnival like the local government float and regatta boat float… pure Rivers culture.

@ azim.. Do you know that most of the people that were arrested and participated in those killings in aluu were non indigenes.. And just dont judge rivers people to be barbaric cos aluu is just 1 out of over 100 communities in rivers states. We also have the rivers ijaws that wont even do such a thing.. Dont generalise like most nigerians do

Calabar does it best. Appreciate what you have.

I tot the topic was calaber carnival sef. I enjoyed calabar so much last year Christmas.

Nice pics. Carnirivs is mproving, it's looks better than it was last year. I don't think d carnival culture in Nigeria is forced especially for a tourism inclined city like calabar. Carnivals may be imported culture but we in calabar have blended it with ours very well and are getting fun, economic growth and positive international exposure out of it so it's welcome.

Carnival Calabar: Africa's biggest street party is tomorrow. If u ain't in Cali city for dis event u're on a long thing.

im already in calabar.. The carnival was fun though
