Dont say things you do not know. The carnival culture was made popular by Brazil but its not Brazilian. Its AFRICAN! It started in AFRICA! Africans are known to have carnival culture for ages. Almost all tribes did have masquerade parades at village squars. This was taking to Brazilian by the African slaves. Gets your fact right. Know your roots. Black man know yourself.

Aha. So it was the white man that gave us the forbidden fruit, now we know we are n.aked we are trying to throw up the fruit and return to traditional n.udity while inviting the white man once again, only this time as a tourist c foreign investor. What next.

Afam4eva: 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.
hey!! Caniriv is different!! Before you talk, try and attend. Caniriv is a display of rivers culture and heritage, there is no nudity or colourfull prevolities that is why people deem it boring. There are masquerade displays, gig paddling(ancient boating of the riverine people) and many others. So don't generalize your premise!!

C'mon that's not true. Is the Goma community that was found in total n.akedness in the mid eighties not in the north. If they were invited to carnival what do you expect them to wear.

So in your carnal/banal opinion, Caribbean Islands are Sodom/Gomorrah? Those Island tend to be proud of those carnivals because they felt it gives them a sense of their traditional ancestor's homeland of West Africa.
Before the coming of the white man, most of our cultural festival has always been nudity associated with it but then it was natural because, our mind and mental states then were not as corrupt and crooked as it is now.
Then a young female/male may be nude but the last thing on their mind is jumping on top of each other, they were innocent. But today people like you who claimed to be religious than God, will say one thing but completely do another. They will steal, sleep with their best friends wife or husband and on sunday they will troop to their carnival (church) and praise to a God who is not ever listening to them. Hypocrites!!

exactly, i think its high time NBC start sanctioning this carnival airing on our airwaves afterall, some music videos who dont even have as much has unclothedness being experienced in the carnival have been banned from the airwaves by NBC.
There are hundreds of channels this days available for your viewing pleasure, Who pu that gun on your head that you must watch the so-called carnival?

are u aware that they walk on our streets? Are there dedicated streets for peeps like me who detest such in public also. by the way, the argument is if NBC can ban some music videos because they depicts elements of sexuality, why not this also from the same airwaves since it depicts such also.
