What u are saying is exactly what am saying. I support we Africans promoting and reforming our progreesive cultures to make it look fascinating and appealing to others but i can never support a spiritual ritual festival like above which involves deities. God forbid.
We have to drop all regressive practices like idolatory or all practices involving gods and godesses.

You don't know what you are saying and you don't want to learn. Search on "Olili Obibia Eri" or "Eri Festival" to know about the purpose of the festival and most importantly, the purpose of going to that river to pray.

Believe me, more than half the people in those pics still attend church services. In fact, they are staunch catholics.

you mean they should stop attending church because they bathed in a river?

Eeeewww! After washing their filty bodies in the river in the name of cleasing an epidemic of cholera will began in that village, ignorance sure is an illness, what's the different between this water and the water that runs through their taps? that is if they have taps

Ok i guess we should all go back to human sacrifice and killing of twins since we really want to retain our cultures and make sure u drop everything that belongs to the white man away from your lives including the gadget u are using to type.
U guys should be realistic for once.
Many European societies used to be barbarians in the past, but they began to progress once they dropped their regressive cultures. They only retained the progressive elements of their cultures and that is what we are supposed to do too.

Show me any advanced and progressive country in the world that holds on to diabloical customs and ritual festivals as part of their nationality!
Most progressive countries apart from those in the Arabian gulf are rapidly dropping culture and religion as a whole.

what is diabolical about this, the Chinese still hold on to the festival, China is the most technologically advanced nation in the world and the up coming world power, they still; retain some of their culture, we have don away with the bad element of our culture, must u guys speak ill of this. I also heard someone saying that this is why Africa is still backward. how does this stop one from moving forward. if u don't believe in superstition then the thought of oneself that practicing this cultural practice will make one backward, is in itself superstition.
