Carnival is a festive season where communities come together, express themselves, and celebrate life using their cultural heritage as a vessel for ancestral memory. It is a time when communities showcase their talents and creativity, bringing people together for self-expression. In Nigeria, Carnival celebrations blend local flavours with international influences, and centuries-old traditions come alive. Carnival is a festival of music, dance, and costume – more than just a party, it's a vessel for ancestral memory. Communities in Africa, Europe, and Asia preserve and honour their heritage, blending indigenous influences to tell stories of resilience, struggle, and triumph. The sounds of drums echo memories of the past, and ancestors are present, their spirits invoked through music and movement. The Carnival becomes a living museum, keeping ancestral memory alive, not just as a relic of the past, but as a living, breathing force that shapes the present. In Southeast Nigeria, Carnival is a testament to the power of cultural heritage to transcend time and bring people together, informing and educating on the rich Igbo cultural heritage. Ndigbo Worldwide Cultural Carnival aims to revive the memories of the rich cultural heritage in Southeast Nigeria, comprising Abia, Anambra, Imo, Enugu, and Ebonyi States, rekindling the cultural heritage alive. The role of Carnival in preserving ancestral memory is multifaceted: 1. Costumes and Masquerade: Designs depict historical figures, mythological creatures, and cultural symbols, keeping traditions alive. 2. Music and Dance: Rhythms and movements passed down through generations evoke emotions and memories. 3. Storytelling: Floats, performances, and lyrics convey stories of resistance, love, and community. Carnival is a form of resistance, reclaiming space and identity. It's a celebration of life, death, and ancestors. By participating, individuals connect with their roots and honor their heritage. In Southeast Nigeria, Carnival celebrations like Omabe Festival in Enugu and Mmanwu Festival in Anambra showcase the region's rich cultural heritage. These events are a testament to the enduring power of ancestral memory, where traditional music, dance, and masquerade bring communities together. Some notable festivals in Southeast Nigeria include: - New Yam Festival (Iri Ji) - Ofala Festival - Mmanwu Festival - Igba Nkwu Nwanyi - Iwa Akwa - Atilogwu Dance These festivals showcase the region's cultural diversity, spiritual practices, and community values, becoming a living museum and vessel for ancestral memory. Carnivals have played a significant role in development, and their power lies in their ability to: - Preserve cultural heritage: Carnival keeps traditions alive, passing down stories, music, and dance to future generations. - Promote tourism: Vibrant festivals attract visitors, boosting local economies and creating opportunities. - Foster community engagement: Carnival brings people together, strengthening social bonds and community identity. - Drive economic growth: Carnival generates revenue, supporting local businesses and entrepreneurs. - Showcase creativity: Carnival provides a platform for artists, designers, and performers to showcase their talents. The Carnival's impact is felt in job creation, cultural exchange, community development, and support for local projects like education and healthcare, and it can be leveraged for development in Southeast Nigeria and indeed Nigeria.

The Kingship tussle in Ikirun town in Osun State has taken another dimension after the dethronement of Oba Olalekan Akadiri and the alleged bribery sandal trailing the Eesa of Ikirun, Abdulkareem Lawal, to install the Medical Director of Crystal Specialist Hospital Dr Lasunkanmi Adeyemi, as the new king[/b]. P.M.EXPRESS gathered that the town has been thrown into more crisis over Dr Adeyemi’s alleged sums of money paid to Eesa of Ikirun, Prince Lawal, in order to support him to become the king having schemed out the Gboleru ruling house, which supposed to produce the next king of the town. The fierce battle, which has thrown the community into tension, is between the six kingmakers who want the alleged stolen mandate returned to Gboleru ruling house, who is meant to produce the king initially with the Eesa of Ikirun, Chief Lawal on one hand. Then the deposed Oba Akadiri and his brother, Dr Adeyemi, who want to take the crown through Lawal by every means on the other hand. Findings revealed that Ikirun town has three ruling families namely Obaara, Adedeji and Gboleru. While Obaara had ruled before now, Adedeji had just finished and Gboleru is the next to produce the king before the alleged manipulation by the Obaara ruling house and produced the deposed Oba Akadiri. The Obaara ruling house had nominated Akidiri and Adeyemi for the contest. The election was conducted by seven kingmakers led by Eesa Abdulkareem Adetoyese Lawal. While Dr Adeyemi got only one vote from Eesa Abdulkareem Adetoyese Lawal, the other six kingmakers voted for Akidiri and was later installed as the king. However, that did not go down well with Dr Adeyemi and Eesa Lawal, who were said to have mobilized some members of the community to dethrone Akadiri and his palace was shut. The bone of contention is that the six kingmakers insisted that if there will be a new King, it must come from Gboleru ruling house because it is their turn to produce the king. But Eesa of Ikirun, Lawal is insisting that Dr Adeyemi must be the king in order to justify the huge sums of money he allegedly collected from him. This has been causing tension in the town and the supporters of deposed Akadiri insisted that if another king will be installed, it must come from among the members of the Gboleru ruling house, who were cheated and manipulated at the initial stage. When P.M.EXPRESS contacted Akidiri on phone, he confirmed that he was aware that Dr Adeyemi and Eesa Lawal were planning to install Dr Adeyemi as the new king. He explained that there are ongoing litigations over the matter and stated that certainly Dr Adeyemi cannot be installed as the new king of the town. The Head of Gboleru Ruling House, Prince Olawale Olatunji Gboleru, spoke on the matter and insisted that it was the turn of their ruling house to produce the king stating that they have qualified candidates to fill the space on the stool. He stated that he was so surprised that Dr Adeyemi is the one abusing the system and causing crises in the town, whereas it was the gazette, which his late father laid down that the community has been following over the years. He explained that the Obaara ruling house, where Adeyemi came from ruled the town from 1940 to 1989 and Adedeji ruling house ruled from 1990 till 2021 and Gboleru was the next to produce the king, but they created problem and manipulated the system because they had power and money. “We have always supported the two ruling houses during their turns. Why are they doing this to us? They are the ones that created the problem for Gboleru ruling house. We are straight forward and simple; they are the problem because they have money and power” he stated. It appears that there will be no end to the kingship crisis in Ikirun town until fairness, equity and justice are done by returning the kingship to Gboleru ruling house.

A house owner, Alkolib Ibrahim Ayinde-Laka, is being hunted by the Police in Lagos over an alleged scam by obtaining money from multiple tenants under the false pretence of providing accommodation for them. P.M.EXPRESS reports that Alkolib Ayinde-Laka went into hiding after obtaining money from multiple tenants with the assurance of each getting an apartment in his house located at No. 26 Omo Oba Jesu Street, Akowonjo, Lagos. It was gathered that the suspect, Alkolib Ayinde-Laka, while renovating the said property, had obtained money from people much more than the number of apartments available in the said property while issuing receipts bearing Al Kolib Homes. A source, who spoke to our correspondent, said that the suspect had the intention of providing accommodation for the tenants until the building control agency in the state, LASBCA, sealed the property for not providing the relevant documents. At that point, he was said to have obtained more money from unsuspecting members of the public in order to pay the required fees in order to have the property opened, which reportedly led to his inability to meet up with earlier promises to would be tenants, who hoped to access their apartments by the first week of December, 2022. Another source had a different version. The source, who spoke under the condition of anonymity, said that the suspect, Alkolib Ayinde-Laka, was developing a private property somewhere else and only put the extra money he had collected into his private property using the notices pasted by the building control agency as an excuse to swindle the unsuspecting members of the public. It was scooped that at the expiration of the date he had given the tenants to finally have access to the property, he continued to give assurances that he was working on procuring the relevant permits from the building control agency. With constant enquiries and phone calls, the suspect, Alkolib Ayinde-Laka, stopped picking up his calls and went into hiding. P.M.EXPRESS correspondent gathered that the suspect, Alkolib Ayinde-Laka, who was said to be related to the Oba of Shasha Kingdom, may have run into financial problems, which prompted him to use the property as a bait to swindle unsuspecting members of the public. Another source, a young man who lives within the area, alleged that the suspect, Alkolib Ayinde-Laka, had the intention to scam the unsuspecting tenants, who were mostly young Lagosians. He said that the suspect never allowed real estate agents to get involved by introducing their clients. He rather positioned and used his accomplices to coarse them to deal directly with him as the owner of the property. As at the time of filing this report, his known phone number 08061744650 has remained switched off as he was said to have gone into hiding while the Police make efforts to apprehend him for interrogation and prosecution. https://pmexpressng.com/multiple-tenants-swindled-by-house-owner-using-building-control-agency-as-excuse/
