At first, It was about showcasing our rich culture to the world, but I've watched it become...in the last two years especially last year! I can't even put some of the pics on my blog: www.feelfelly..com [img]http://3.bp..com/-zgr8Syoqm2o/UP2URlKtfaI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/MfDFwr7Wm2U/s1600/Cali.jpg[/img] 2 Likes |

It has never been about promoting our culture but about promoting the cultures of the carribean islands. Now, they're now promoting the culture of sodom and gomorra. The calabar carnival, the port-hacourt carnival and the Lagos carnival are a shame. 15 Likes |

You guys are just here lying to yourselves that unclothedness is not in our culture. Maybe y'all need to go back in history. We're the ones copying the western world by putting on cloths. 9 Likes |

When you say "our culture" Minus the Bini peeps from it. In our history only slaves were associated with unclothedness. In Bini we have different words for various types of clothes. Nice carnival there in Calabar, I love the costumes. 1 Like |

filiks: But I've witness some earlier that were not like these recent ones. There's been progressive improvement in nudity. Just as there has been progressive improvement towards nudity in the dressing of the general public. Look at the dresses ladies wear in public these days, and then you'd understand why those same ladies want to use the excuse of the carnival to let-go! |

Jazzgreen: A wife sends a nude photo to her husband with both legs wide open. Exactly. When you think about the whole concept, personally I just steer clear of the whole cultural experience thing because there is a very thin line between so-called western influences and the more sordid parts of our local culture. The offence is in the eyes of the beholder. |

It's your type that secretly watches p.orn, touches himself and later goes to God in prayer asking forgiveness. 6 Likes |
