nuorlah: How about the little children on the streets of those cities.


It is silly that a government sponsored event is this way.

It is embarrasing to say the least.
wat is embarrassing is your views . Find out more abt ur culture n u will knw dat unclad has been in our culture 4 long time.

Are we supposed to b moving forward or backward?
depending on what u define as forward or backward. History they say tends to repeat itself.

nuorlah:

Three wrongs dont make a right.

At least people can keep those to themselves. Why bring them to the piblic and to corrupt more people.

You just increased the no of pple hoping ti have a go with their neighbours, the little girls, etc by this public show of shame.

bros u dey take dis mata personal. Let those dat enjoy d carnival continue to enjoy it. I doubt if u r frm calabar so don't try to impose ur idea on them abt dress code for their carnival

[quote author=abdulkayus]

nt all Africans do dat b4 d white came. Here in d north, dey hav been civilised by covering their body very well even b4 d comin of d whites, dat is y d whites really respect dem wen dey came. I can only believe of such unclothness in d eastern 9ja b4 d comin of d whites.[/quote I agree wit u but calabar is not frm d north js as they respect ur covering of ur body well as ur civilized culture js respect theirs. Everybody 's culture is not d same

black_beau: I'm an akwa Ibomite and I can boldly say that the cross riverean culture doesn't include unclothedness.this years nudity in the carnival was just a show by our nigerian girls to copy their brazillian counterparts

Nothing more hilarious than moral indignation from a people whose ancestors walked around nakid just half a century ago.

What even more hilarious is that the same people have grandmas and mothers in their respective villages going about their daily businesses with little more than wrappers.

They are getting all up in arms about "the western culture of nakidness" seeping into their culture while wearing clothes made by western designers.

I tell ya, Nigerians are comedians! cheesy

Pls don't insult the efiks/ibibios. I lived in calabar and the girls I met there are no worse than the girls I see in Cincinnati or New York or London. Infact the calabar girls are better by far.

And there are millions of good girls in cross-river too. Nobody talks about them. But they are there. I know, bc I've met them cool

Re: Calabar Carnival No Longer About Promoting Our Culture by ezeagu(m): 12:25pm On Jan 26, 2013
The end didn't come when the most powerful powers on earth fought a deadly battle that took millions in the 1930s and 40s. The end didn't come when atom bombs were being thrown around the globe like toys. The end didn't come when empires ravaged lands across the earth taking land and people with them. The end didn't come when the human population was almost wiped out at different points over the last 200,000 years. The end isn't coming because of poverty and bad governance. No. The end has come because Nigerian women are dancing in bras and panties.

They are not even dancing nude. May be I've been abroad too long, but where I am some ladies go to school with even less clothes on than those ladies dancing.

Anyway, I've seen the London carnival, I've seen Toronto carnival and they are HOT cheesy. My next target is Trinidad Carnival. I heard that is the capital of HoT chicks on earth wink
