How one masquerade can create jobs for 1000 people

When I opened the above thread where Alh Lai Mohammed made a statement that one masquerade can create jobs for 1000 people, I was surprise by the comments that came from people about the statement. The comments showed how poor the intelligence of the Nigerian youth is as they made a jest of his statement, some out of ignorance while others were mostly out of hate for the man cos he belongs to a party that kicked their own party out of power thereby blocking all corrupt avenues they were reaping from e.g ghostworker salary.

A very intelligent mind would have scrutinized the statement very well and would have realised the lack of need to criticize but attest to the idea. But these people suffering from post-election trauma lack the capacity to reason in such a sophisticated manner, hence their open show of the illiteracy bestowed on them by 16yrs of rot.

Now, to the statement "one masquerade can employ 1000 people". How is this achievable? Shallow minds would expect that the single masquerade will open a company and send out job adverts for unemployed youths like them to apply. Such is hardly the case.

A festival for masquerades is quite an opportunity for businesses to thrive, but our problem is that we have been very myopic by doing things the same way and expecting different results. Let's say such festival spans for 2weeks; below are the opportunities it can open if we truly value such culture as much as to transform its festival by investing heavily in it.

First, each masquerade can be endorsed or branded by a corporate company thereby having the masquerade's attire designed to show the logo of the company e.g GUINNESS. That will fetch the masquerade some big box in tune of millions. The ordinary masquerade of yesterday with just 2 drummers can now employ a trumpeter, a keyboardist, a flutist and any modern musical instrument player(remember, we are doing it in a different way this time around).

Once Nigeria Breweries see that Guinness is keying into the idea, they too might decided to sponsor a group of masquerades who are also going to have their own band. With top bottling companies present at an event that could witness up to a hundred thousand viewers, be sure to have drinks flowing. That's where female ushers come in. Campus girls can take that role which gives them a job experience to write in their CV.

MTN or Airtel might jostle to be the event's official network. This might make them to consult an outsourcing firm to help recruit new hands for a contract job to cover the event. The attire the workers of these companies will wear to the event will be sewn by some individuals who will have some change to pocket.

With these companies swinging in, the media will beam their light on the event thereby popularising it to the extent of attracting the interest of foreigners who will invest in it.

What if it is done in such a way that the masquerade event is used by mobile phone companies like Slots and 3Chub to showcase their products for sale? The large turnout won't be wasted. Stands will be sold to them as they employ in-store promoters to enlighten customers about the phones. I hope you are putting the pieces together and finally getting the picture.

Now, count the amount of festivals we have in Nigeria, those for masquerades and those for others and imagine them branded or sponsored. It will really be great. Mind you, the famous English premier league EPL started of with some folks kicking a round object, now it has become Barclay's Premier League BPL with so many other sponsors. The same way adidas or a Nike endorses Wayne Rooney is the same way a company in Nigeria or from abroad can endorse chukwuemeka or gbenga who are really the ones behind the mask.

So, before you criticise next time, think deeply.

This post is for intelligent minds alone.

I remember when that obiegelli zombie also wrote one long article about how it was indeed feasible to pay unemployed graduates 5k a month.

She was so headstrong also, a unique zombie trait. Not that being headstrong is bad in itself(not at all), but when you are brainless and headstrong as well, then that is like zombie territory right thurr, like "am zombie, arrghhhhh, food, food, food, am zombie, food, food..."

Even when her master, almighty Dullarpo, said he wouldn't pay, she was still saying its possible. Its like she needed to be reprogrammed to go along with Dullarpos new programme, else, being a headstrong zombie, she'd probably have kept going and going in true zombie fashion.


Now another zombie crawls out from beneath the soil So there will be MTN masquerades soon ehn

How much does the masquerade dressing job pay per month Or does it only pay one day in a year

all you want is for this administration to fail just so you can justify your voting for the most corrupt president ever, that's why you have failed to realise that a masquerade festival is a private event and has nothing to do with the government.

You are just a bloody blogger and hungry for that matter.

OP do you even know the spiritual implication of this masquerade thing or you think you can just come out and type nonsense. Or you think you can just enter any area with your own masquerade is this how far you can go to defend this government.
Let me ask you why haven't you started it so other people can follow. Mtcheeeew!

I was even shocked by the guy resilience to defend the masquerade gaffe.Is masquerade now like a celebrity that gets endorsements from corperate bodies?

the idea of calling some folks celebrity and even endorsing them all came from abroad. When are we going to do what these foreigners will emulate? Endorsing masquerade can be a starting point. Remember, the best things seem foolish first.

You dey mind the guy? Him just dey find wetin him go talk

This is rubbish oga Wole

Mister op, can you really get serious for once. This post of yours tells a lot about the negative effect of the polices of this current government on the minds of innocent Nigerians.











God help us......

The problem with us isn't the acquisition of 'knowledge' which is 'out there' so to speak. The major challenge is how to use our imagination to create new things from the old order?" The masquerade metaphor wasn't misplaced, perhaps it was mistimed. The "outrage" that trailed Lai's comment hasn't really been about the merits or demerits of Oga Lai's proposition, it's been much more a visceral response to the "dire" state of affairs in the country.

Some said Lai smoked nepa pole and I too believe op smoked crude pipe sha.
Maybe op shld be the one issuing out the appointment letter and also be the one going to guiness and mtn them to come and sponsor his village masquerade.
Inter state transportation dey dem no do, nigeria premier league dey guness no sponsor or make money from that na ojuju calabar dem go support.
