Carnivals should be banned in this country. it's becoming rather embarassing. All the carnivals from Calabar to Lagos to Port Hacourt to Owerri all look the same to me. This is Africa for fvck sake and not the west indies. We should promote cultural festivals rather than this BS.

Thank you Afam. I opened this thread to see display of rich Igbo or at least our diverse Nigerian culture only to see imitation of Cuban festival. No foreigner will waste his hard earned Dollar on counterfeit when he can visit the Caribbean for the real thing.

I think it should be enshrined in the constitution that before a person seeks an elective position, that person must attend an orientation course established by the federal government geared towards unlearning some of our colonial teaching and embracing local content. can you imagine what a cultural festival attended by representatives of all communities in Imo state will be like as opposed to this carnival thing.

Most of those carnivals are actually modification of Igbo carnivals like Ekpe, Okorosha, Mmanwu, Atilogu etc. Carabali Isuama is simply Isuama in Cuba which is rooted in Isuama Igbo. Let us bring back the real thing. The root of carnivals.

Rochas, this is not what we want in Imo state.

We want development and not this "waste" of resources.

Make your tenure quick finish abeg.
We are tired of you.

I've seen pictures from the carnival and its massive. Its successful but next year it should lean more towards promoting Igbo and Nigerian culture. The Argungu fishing festival remains probably the most internationally important Nigerian festival. The reason is originality.

The carnival should be traditional, not all this Caribbean style carnival. That should be solely for Akwa Ibom, in my opinion.

Let us try to promote and celebrate our culture, art and customs.

Imagine having various traditioanl dancers line the street and various order cultural symbols and practice from the whole igbo town and villages rolling down the street of owerri with igbo music.

Nna imo state can be the home of Igbo carnival. That is a unique selling brand, not everybody doing the same-thing. That is boring. In my Opinion!
