We have festivals and not carnivals. Carrnival is alien to us. |
| Re: Any Carnivals In South East Nigeria? by Nobody: 3:58pm On Dec 27, 2011 |
Well. Thanks. I wasn't talking of religious festivals. I meant real party carribean styled carnivals. Are the ones done in Calabar and PH indigenous to them? |
| Re: Any Carnivals In South East Nigeria? by Afam4eva(m): 4:34pm On Dec 27, 2011 |
Why should wz be hosting a carribean styled festival in Nigeria. Why can't we be ourselves. We should try and elevate festivals like offala, Osun/oshogbo, the eyo festival etc to international standards, |

Well, You are entitled to your own opinions. People are having fun and you are here complaining. |
| Re: Any Carnivals In South East Nigeria? by Nobody: 10:23am On Dec 28, 2011 |
@ OP, if I understand you clearly there is none. Moreover people of South East all move to their respective villages during the festive period leaving the cities empty. But I believe that most of the villages have their own "mojos" during the celebration. |

If you want carribean-style carnival, go to South America. We are not caribs. it is like asking the british to do masquerades.  |

Imo State had one before Christmas |

If you want a carribean-like carnival just go to the west indice. If a chinese carnival is your thing, the chinese embassy is still open. We shoyuld strive to promote the various festivals in our country instead of doing copy and paste. |
| Re: Any Carnivals In South East Nigeria? by okstol: 3:05pm On Dec 28, 2011 |
Some peeps talk with their azzses. Imo state had their festival about a week ago. @Mbatuku, u asked a question and an answer was given to u but u started sounding like a broken record. Everything in life has its origin. Ph just stated theirs some two or three years ago. It gets better every year. Ndi ala! |

~Bluetooth: Shey if Okija no commot for your mouth, your post no go complete?!  @ Post No! Reason; The Eastern Governors are all under-performing mofos. From Rochas with his Chief comedian to Peter Obi who is yet to recover from the Ojukwu fever to Kalu in Abia state to the persona-non-grata in Ebonyi State. If any Eastern State has what it takes to hold a carnival of Calabar standards right now, its Enugu State. |

mbatuku2:We called what we did in Imo a carnival. If it doesn't fit your idea of one, set up your own Mbatuku2 Carnival and invite us, or you save money and go to Brazil, Puerto Rico or Ixtapa. |
| Re: Any Carnivals In South East Nigeria? by ifyalways(f): 5:55pm On Dec 28, 2011 |
Na wao! Must we copy every thing? Do the western worlds celebrate new yam festivals? @ op, what do carnivals represent, its origin and why must we have one? If anyone is bored with Orisha, iwa ji and co festivals he/ she should jump on the next flight to the carib. Simple. |

The nottingham carnival in England is copied from the West Indies. Are we allergic to change? |
| Re: Any Carnivals In South East Nigeria? by Afam4eva(m): 7:47pm On Dec 28, 2011 |
We've had enough change to last a life time. We speak english, wear suits and evening gowns etc. Wha else do you want? |
| Re: Any Carnivals In South East Nigeria? by Rgp92: 7:49pm On Dec 28, 2011 |
mbatuku2: What change are you talking about? Tell please. |
