How can most of the participants be ibo now??

Nothing depicts Yoruba in those costumes.

Beautiful I must say with lots of brazilian influences. But is Brazil supposed to be influencing Nigeria or the other way round? . Africa know thyself!!!

High_Chief: Nothing depicts Yoruba in those costumes.

Why are you people like this for crying out LOUD?!

Did you miss the eyo costumes?! Can't you just enjoy the thread?!

I want to say we don't need this,but i quickly remember that GEJ is still the president-----------

Scintillating. Atleast, one man is making Nigerians happy. One is back suicide bombers. God bless BRF

Don't mind the maga. He is not Igbo but wants to start another Yoruba-Igbo E-war.

Errmmmmm wrong ma, When brazilains adopt our culture (Yoruba) we did not complain, what is wrong in adopting theirs as well.

Cultures change very day, that is the way life is

Also we have a significant population of Brazilians in Lagos as Indigenes, thus it is show casting their culture as well.

I wouldnt doubt it sha... The participants look very pretty and have no tribal marks so I think you may just have a point there.

Being Yoruba must be painful.

Copy Copy.
All states now want to do Carnival.
Why not leave Carnival for Calabar and concentrate
on another area of comparative advantage?

Lagos don't need this, if you ask me.

He meant Brazilians has an influence on Lagos, because they were among the first settlers with other African slaves who repatriated to Lagos in the late 1800's... No Tribo ( but they got to Lagos before any other Nigerian trips familiarized with the south west. Remember the British only formed Nigeria about 51 years ago.. the Brazilian settlers have been in Lagos for over 100 years ).. So Yes they Brazilians do have an influence on Lagos... As you know, they also have a popular Yoruba festival that happens annually in Brazil.
