Mayor21: . Olodo na jst DRY RUN be diz

Thanks noble man

shymexx: And this is the same carnival some folks were saying is better Notting Hill carnival.

This looks like a village parade with tons of hungry and dirty people.

Nigerians and chatting shyte, when what is in their backyard is still stuck in the medieval ages.

dis is nt d main carnival bro..,its jst 2
pave way for d main ting..

when na to chop only dog dem sabi

Ebubemg: dis is nt d main carnival bro..,its jst 2
pave way for d main ting..

Main event or not, the darn place and the people look dead.

Just tell your folks to stop comparing this crap to something that's a gazillion miles apart from it.

Honestly, I don't give two fvcks about the carnival. But people who live in a glass house should never throw stones.

How dare any sane person compare this crap to Notting hill carnival?

IAMBREEZY: i ain't gønna miss this carnival at all mehn.

The thought of how the whole place would stink alone should put a nyggah off.

All the chics also look like they've got double-layered cheese belly running around all clothed up in the hot naija sun.

Eneze1: please can someone kindly educate me what the carnival is all about

If you really want to know
It's about looting
Get more education on that from Lamido and sons

i wonder why you carry this your notting hill carnival on your head like someone hawking bread.
Tiwa n tiwa...nobody is telling you to come and partake in the festival bt @least be proud of what Nigerians are able to offer!
Haba!

And don't think I'm uppity for saying the TRUTH on this thread. Your folks started it when they bombarded my thread about Notting Hill carnival with tosh about Calabar carnival.

Well, Notting hill carnival is part of black history in the UK and part of me. And I had to strike back because I know the Calabar carnival should never be in the same sentence with notting hill. Done that now - enjoy ya village parade carnival!

Shalom!!

Which kain camera u use here now

Notting Hill carnival represents black history in the UK. And that's part of me as a black man in Great Britain. It represents my struggle and a culture that resonates my experience. Yes, I'm proud of it. I'm a black Briton, just as I'm Nigerian - get it?

My experience is different from yours. Yes, we might have the same ancestry that lies in the same country. However, our experiences are different. Don't talk down about my experience and I'll respect yours. Respect they say, is reciprocal.

looks more like rag day to me....

Omo dis people get bebe tire

If you must go to calabar for cannival, please leave your dogs at home..

And your wives at home.

Brother, you reek of ignorance and pettiness.
If you use this "practice/ rehearsal pics" as your yardstick of comparing both carnivals.
I have no interest in your notting carnival.. So I don't think I have a right commenting on that, but next time be slightly patient, and wait before you expose your bias. It starts at the beginning of December, and runs through out the whole month. Technically, everyday is pretty much a party. And there is also the ekpe (meaning lion in efik) display.
The calabar festival has more history and tradition than you think. But then again, I wouldn't Expect someone like you to understand

Calabar definitely knows how to rock it. Its not yet December when the main stuff begins.

Can you tell me the history and tradition behind Calabar carnival - educate me? The last time I checked, carnival is a Trini thing that expanded to the rest of the Caribbean and South America. The Caribs brought it to London and made it an integral part of black history in the UK. Hence, why it started in Notting Hill, a place with a huge population of Blacks (especially Caribbeans) at that point in history.

Are there any returnee slaves in Calabar? - because the only part of Nigeria where the Amaro's have a huge population in Nigeria is Lagos.

Please educate me - checkers chess_guru!

Google the ekpe (that masquerade below my pic) festival that occurs every December period from time immemorial. It might help you sir .

Your biggest problem is that you already know too much. That on its own prevents you from learning basic things before you comment.
The carnival you see in calabar has nothing to do with slavery, so J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ erase that from your mind. Its an extension of the ekpe festival that has been celebrated since the foundation of ancient calabar.
That's that about its origin.
The modern carnival started recently with donald duke, and is an extension of the celebration of ekpe festival.
I really don't know what your basis of comparison or argument is (like I said I know nothing of your nothing carnival, so I can't say anything about it).
All I know is that everyday is a party in calabar from 1st to 31st of december.

a nice pix

Go play in the sun, little dyslexic boy.

However, stop talking that tough talk to me. I'm a thorough bred and I'll smack you just for that sake of it, trust me.

However, what has a masquerade festival got to do with what carnival celebration is all about and its history/significance?

Any correlation, sir?

Anyway, I'm not hating on your thing. Just had to come back to pay these mofos in their own coin.

Revenge is karma in my dictionary and it's best when served cold.

You lot can do ya thing!!
