MOD's please forgive me but just didn't know where to post this. Today is Halloween and a lot of people are excited about it; even Nigerians living abroad. This question has always been on my mind. Why don't Nigerians in 9ja celebrate Halloween. |

its an american festival and besides, halloween is more real for africans whereas its just entertainment for westerners. besides, i think the pc nigerian equivalent is masquerade which is celebrated several times a year. 1 Like |

Halloween was a surprise for me when I first got to college in the U.S. I was never aware of anything like Halloween until I saw people in costume on my college campus. Ever since then, I have been part of it. As a matter of fact, my kids dressed in their costumes today and I took them to church to celebrate with other kids. Bunch of candies. 1 Like |
