This carnival thing has become disgusting in my eyes. They should do something else abeg. How about hosting a festival that unites all the parts of Akwa Ibom in the state capital, Uyo.

Celebrating the cultural heritage

How is a carnival disgusting? Its aim is to attract tourists to a particular area and in turn, benefit the state.

Most countries all over the world celebrate a carnival or two. Notable carnivals which we would term meaningless is the beer carnival in Germany and the tomatoes carnival in Spain.

This particular carnival celebrates the Akwa Ibom culture, particularly its dressings. I spent a week in Akwa Ibom last year because of this same carnival and although lapses could be noticed, it didn't stop people from several parts of the country witness the carnival.

WHAT TYPE OF CARNIVAL IS THIS, NO BIKINIS AND BOOBS TO SHOW?

Akwaibom/Cross River is the hub of tourism in Nigeria so they should keep up with the carnivals and promote it to the international level.
