All this nonsense tradition should be abolished including in Lagos

The Oro nonsense should be stopped forever because it's a nonsense tradition

Masquerade that cannot disappear is that one masquerade

I don't know why we are so disruptive in our "anyhowness"

Why would the appearance of a masquerade be the source of disorder and trepidation instead of it showcasing or rich cultural heritage?

Their characterisations with anarchy may well relegate them to the dustbin of history in no distant future.

To think that they are supposed custodians of the Spirits our ancestors speaks ill of them as well.

And there is me dreaming of our masquerades coming to UK to show off our culture and heritage.

Oyinbo will pay tons just to see us, but of course our whip will need to be in jest since they will pay in advance.

If we are smart, we could even make it an annual celebration like the West Indians have done with carnival. Unfortunately, we Nigerians hardly work together like the numerous Caribbean Islands do.

Killing other people's light won't make yours shine any brighter.
Blame your ancestors for leaving you with no heritage or culture you can be proud of, and leave Lagosians alone to enjoy their rich cultural heritage!

It's like I knew Seun's bot would catch me if I posted the West Indian Masquerades, which I've now posted here.

I want you to know that you taught me this version of "those who forget the past ....", for which I am most grateful.

You're most welcome.

Leave the masquerade abeg. What do you mean by disturbing public peace? How many of those self acclaimed evangelists and pastors who wake people up from early morning sleep in the name of early morning preaching( morning cry) have you arrested for noise pollution ?

What sort of Stupid tradition is this??

So going around in masqurade flogging innocent people is now "Culture"

No wonder you have heartless leaders
Because they see how dumb you ppl are.

Imagine assaulting and attacking bystanders and flogging them with cane.

And you call it "Masquerade Tradition"

Show me which culture that attacks its own people. Only in Africa. Bloody nonesense

Who else is not supporting this?

Who they arrest the Muslim praying Jumat on the main road? Or the Christian that close a whole street all in the name of crusade?

A masquerade appearance is fearful,if it's not guided properly it can cause commotion and stampede and distraction in the public space.

A pastor that preaches in the morning is not causing any stampede or distractions like a masquerade.

I call this cultural rascality

The state government has banned it statewide and they arrived at that decision based on public complaints.
