Carnivals the world over are all about colors - different shades of it. Whether it's taking place in Rio, Nottingham, Tokyo, Berlin, Lagos, Calabar or even in Boko Haram enclave, it's all about the color and beauty of it. Lagos residents do however know how to enjoy themselves. Missed being part of it |

Apart from Calabar, every other rubbish disturbance of public peace called carnival should be banned. These pictures are disgraceful and paints ugly image of Nigeria. |

These pictures are disgraceful and paints ugly image of Nigeria. hey modafoka, we need some beautiful Nigerian images to balance the image of boko haram bombing Igbos in the North. CNN shld show this to the world, instead of showing us Igbo corpses everyday. |

Abagworo: Apart from Calabar, every other rubbish disturbance of public peace called carnival should be banned. These pictures are disgraceful and paints ugly image of Nigeria. Why are you so retarded? Have you ever heard about Lagos fanti carnival?? Fanti carnival started way before calabar became a state. By the way, Afro-Brazilians form a good percentage of Lagosians, and I'm happen to be one of them on my paternal side. My surname is Pereira, and I'm from Campos, in Lagos Island. The copying is from Calabar and not Lagos! |

I wonder why EVERYTHING on Nairaland has to be made tribal . . . . |

Why do people lie so much?! Have you heard of Fanti? How did Brazilians influence get to Calabar when most Brazilians in Nigeria are in Lagos? Have you heard of De-costa family in Lagos? Cooke? Williams (eg Funsho williams)? George? Lagos carnival started WAY BEFORE Calabar carnival! If anything, Calabar copied Lagos, not the other way round. |
Re: Colourful Pictures Of Lagos Carnival 2012 by naptu2: 9:30am On May 11, 2012 |
I posted this on the carnival thread I made on Easter Monday. naptu2: Carnival The costumes were made by people from the Lagos State Skills Acquisition Centre. Unemployed people can apply to attend the centre. Area boys and girls (now called good boys and girls) are rehabilitated and tested for drugs. They are detoxified if they've got drugs in their system. They are then sent to the skills acquisition centre to learn a trade. Destitutes and the unemployed also attend the centre. The costumes are given to the participants for free (sponsors take care of the costs). http://www.lagosindicatoronline.com/Fashola_commissions.html They've also been able to attract more sponsors (MTN, First Bank, Maltina, etc for the carnival and Glo and others for Eyo festival). Government involvement includes planning the routes the procession will take and deploying agencies such as LASTMA, LASAMBUS, RRS, etc to ensure that the violence and disorderliness of the past does not return. However, some people do not like the fact that the TBS is now the focal point for the Eyo Festival. It used to be the Eyo Arcade @ Idumota. |

london2lasgidi: You are not getting my points. That environment is too damn dirty and ugly to showcase to me. It makes me not want to visit Lagos. Take a look at the Calabar carnival pictures and you will feel like going for the next Calabar carnival. I invited some foreigners for the Port-Harcourt carnival and was ashamed at the end of the day. I'd rather go for something more traditional like the Osun festival or Argungu fishing festival than to waste my resources on this. |

Re: Colourful Pictures Of Lagos Carnival 2012 by aljharem(m): 9:23pm On May 11, 2012 |
For those that don't know fanti. Here are the Brazilian communities explaining things to you all "In a bid to improve cultural and tourism potentials of Lagos, the Lagos State Government is hosting a series of cultural festivals and competitions, these reaches a climax with the Lagos Brazillian Fanti Carnival which holds on April 5, 2010... Event Village is hereby partnering with the Lagos State Government in hosting people for the Carnivals. Please be informed that the Fanti Carnival is the premier carnival procession in West Africa, it started in 1891 and this year's is going to be bigger and better because it is been sponsored by Unity Bank, Lagos State Government and other private individuals." http://fr-fr.facebook.com/events/367404202438/ |
