k00lxpert: this is not a Nigerian cultural carnivals we re xpecting, its a continuation & convergence of 'All naked street strippers volunteers association(s) of Calabar & environs, gathered together to entertain fools & jobless wakapass pple...To me, they re shameless bastard Nigerians. dont quote me, its just my opinion
What exactly is Nigeria culture? Please name them!
If anything culture associated with Nigeria nowhere in the world today is fraud and stealing public money by public officials. In my opinion, the so called carnival is doing you lot, loads of unpaid positive PR for the first time.

Red-Light:
if we are exposed and more enlightened why are we still celebrating the culture then?

the bottom line is women/men should be banned from showcasing their blessedness in public under the guise of carnival

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

Don't you do same? When you lie, don't you go to church after to pray for forgiveness?

All dos claimin dat notin wrong in dis madness and also abusing Afam4ever, will u allow ur mother, sister, wife or daughter to put on dos nonsense call customes and display their unclothedness to any dick and harry? SMH.
Waitin for all ur answers. Hypocrites
You sounded like the King of Swaziland, who recently banned mini skirt but every year girls even from the age of 16 are line up nude in public ceremony for him to chose his newest wife. He said that is his culture and mini skirt is a foreign culture. grin grin grin
If you are not a hypocrite yourself, why do you watch this carnival at all? And if you don't watch it, how come you knew what they were wearing?
Adults that claim not to eat rat meat but its okay to use their teeth to share it among the children.

ehie: our culture before the arrival of whitey,women walked around without shirts...that was our culture,before we embraced the white man's culture
Ignorance at its best yet so painfully bliss
Culture doesn't exist in a void
Have you ever asked what ever happened to the supporting structures of 'our' culture?
The color of the skin of those who intiated&accelerated the dismantling&demise of those supporting structures&institutions?

Let's get over the "nudity is not our culture" and "all Nigerian women were good Christian-blouse-wearing nuns before Europeans came" now. (By the way censoring thw word "nudity" is the height of ignorance).

We are what we do more than what we say.

The manifestations of the Calabar Carnival are what the governor and his wife and cabinet and the organizers are.
As Jesus Christ our Lord and Messiah said, by their fruits you shall know them.

Demdem:

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.
Are they forced you not only to go to Calabar on the day but also forced you down the street where its happening? If you don't like carnival turn to another channel or turn off the TV and do some work in the house or even sleep.
We can't ban internet, just because there are websites that doesn't conform to me/yours moral standards, we just simply avoid them. period!

I lived in London for more than 30 years before moving to Surrey but I had never been to Nothing Hill carnival even for once, just because its doesn't interest me, even though its a stone throw away from my home Hammersmith.

And what is that supposed to mean? An Akwa Ibomite is simply someone from Akwa Ibom. Just like a Londoner or American. Besides, she is using English for the explanation, is English our cultural language?
Re: Calabar Carnival No Longer About Promoting Our Culture by ezeagu(m): 2:16pm On Jan 25, 2013
It's not only 'Akwa Ibomite' it's Igboite and Yoruban!

Arosa:

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.

There were lots of slaves in Bini then mostly women, that is why they were naked. However unmarried bini girls can also be seen top-less but not completely naked.

Eventhough we were na.ked then, I believe the cultural mindset was conservative. Can't say the same for today.
Re: Calabar Carnival No Longer About Promoting Our Culture by holysmoke(m): 3:18pm On Jan 25, 2013
* thinking about what the carnival is all about.an idea comes to mind. check a dictionary*

MODERN DICTIONARY OF THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT .

CALABAR CARNIVAL,THE : A Pagan festival, reminiscent of the early Olympic games that had to be banned because of the o.r.g.i.e.s & various other depravities that were associated with them.

Think things are going to get better ? Don't count on it. Everything is going to get worse as the world heads to a cataclysmic end.

My question for the gals, how will you love to browse some quality dicks on the streets of Cali this December?

Re: Calabar Carnival No Longer About Promoting Our Culture by ypzilanti: 5:12pm On Jan 25, 2013
Nigerians know how to be pious and outraged over things like exposed titties and homosexuals. The west is outraged by things like child molestation and corruption.

Guess who has the better society.

When I lived in the west, my next door neighbors would always wear their bikinis and tan during summer...in plain view. Guess what? Over time I got used to it. I began to understand later that they have a more moral society than ours, because we do not protect the weak and ailing the way that they do.
