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
masquerade was banned by the governor in Akwa Ibom State. A girl was knocked down recently by a speeding car after being chased by a masquerade that's why the governor banned it.
Today the guy was caught and arrested despite the ban

Watch that picture well, the CP and DC actually posed for a photo shot with the masquerade.

But why arrest the gods?

How exactly did the masquerade disrupt public peace? And how do they intend to charge the masquerade to court?

All this nonsense tradition should be abolished including in Lagos

The Oro nonsense should be stopped forever because it's a nonsense tradition
I just hope you won't utter such statement near Sango Ota or Shagamu. A friend told me that in Sango Ota their masquerade festival is held everyday for seven months non stop and hundreds of families celebrate on different days and it's more popular than Christmas or Salah holiday. Seven goddam months non stop for masquerades.

I want you to know that you taught me this version of "those who forget the past ....", for which I am most grateful.
If there is anything to be wary of, it is history.
Back in the days, narratives were controlled by a lot of people in power, and most things you read about the past were not all true,
Victors wrote histories, and men in power push their own narrative

At least if you think it is a lie, shey you can see it in the present-day world, even when journalists have a lot of freedom than in the past, yet the media are higly manipulated

Christianity and Islam should take the lead before tradition follows.

Those Middle East religions met it here and should leave first!

This your talk is the original nonsense... When we should be talking about having national holidays for such festivals and traditions you are here celebrating hiv day, no bra day, God knows some of your type are even trying out Halloween as a holiday yet you no want to hear "o wo gbe o ku gbe" grin

Guess what these tradition has been longer than your cherished European culture so it can never be abolished. But like some one told you above.... If you came from a tribe without tradition and respectable ancestors don't carry that into Lagos instead go back to where you come from jejely cheesy

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.
Nothing wrong with masquerade entertaining the public but causing public disturbance will not be accepted anywhere not even in the UK.

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!
"A River that forgets it's Source will surely dry up."
Our source is Jesus. We all hail from Jesus, and as long as He lives, we live. Jesus can never leave us dry. God created all of us. You choose to worship demons and it won't end well for you. Give your life to Christ while you can.

I would say it is his story in the holy books too, which is why we must shine our eyes and look.
