Who cares?

Military or paramilitary people are expected to be fit. That's the standard all over the world, or at least in sane countries.

The country is the way it is because people like you see absurd things as normal, or make excuses for people you should criticize.

Please is your father fitter than them? No lie abeg.

Misplaced Priority 😔. That's why we lost our values. That's why we can't identify who we're. Masquerade is part and parcel of our cultural heritage. How come Masquerade is now a public disturbance?

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.
Did I at any point drag Jesus with you?
Or who is that oluku saying you shouldn't follow your Jesus to Jerusalem?

You all screaming of "Religious persecution of Christians" but hypocritically deride others of freedom to worship without intimidation!
Didn't your Jesus says, "Do unto others what you will they do unto you?"

The Same demon your Vatican gives special place of honour in their cathedrals and bow to?

Most of the different masquerades one finds in South East, all originated from Akwa Ibom and adopted the practice in South Eastern States.
The reason most are called Ekpo which is ibibio dialect.

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

No wonder you have heartless leaders

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
That particular masquerade that caused the accident should have been tried in court.

Banning masquerade festival is nonsense.

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!

Look at what a supposed adult is saying in 2025. It's very clear to see why the country has continued to move backwards.

So oro should continue to terrorise people? There are ways to display our cultural heritage to attract audience instead of fear. The insecurity in the country will only mean that the noose around the neck 🧣 of some certain cultural celebrations that promote fear will be tightened certainly.
It's not about bashing people's tribes or ancestors, but reinventing our cultural displays like masquerades to attract people's love like the Carribbean does...other than people's fear.

If things continue like this I can assure you some of these masquerades will be sent to the annals of history. The cultural displays is for the people to enjoy and not for the people to fear

The police should release him immediately, when this police are in South they behave anyhow,while terrorist are having their ways in the north, akwa ibom is the most peaceful state in Nigeria, so the police should not cause problems for the state, this was how the police triggered boko haram, by killing Yusuf, till today we are still battling with that mistake.

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 ?
.

These masquerades harass people, some use their cane to threaten and flog a person they demand money from.... some chase people away in a busy area and businesses areas where shops are and cause chaos and problems in that area and want to enter shop to do petty stealing.... and they masquerades followers or members will want to use that chaos in that area to enter shop and do petty stealing..steal some items

Masquerades is for fun and entertainment but not to be harassing people, chasing people up and down with cane and flogging some people causing chaos , problems in that area
