I want to see masquerades, why are Igbo masquerades going into extinct I love watching masquerades dance a lot, op try and post pictures of their masquerade because I am sure masquerade danced during the festival. Lalasticlala try and be moving masquerade dance threads to front page like snake threads too, some of us love masquerade more than you love snakes you know 2 Likes |

Wrong translation. It's 'girding of cloth' not 'wearing of cloth'. 6 Likes |

CAPSLOCKED:: Look at this efulefu. It's people like you that reject your culture and start practicing oyibo culture, calling it civilization. No people on earth that doesn't do one or too inherited stuffs which has no developmental value(''developmental value'' in your words). Let me give you just one example. In the highly developed England, nobody eats food again in any function ones the queen has stopped eating, you dare not walk in front of the queen and ones you see the queen drop her bag on the table in any gathering, everyone stands up and leave,if you are having a marriage ceremony, the bride must wear white and so on..... These things are cultures of the English people which they inherited and still practice. If you go to India, China, America, France, Japan and so on. You see their culture but down here we claim more civilized than civilization. 17 Likes |

You mean these old men are just coming of age? I would think this ceremony is for teenagers or younger boys like 15. Or do you mean these ones could only recently afford to be a part of the ceremony? Nice tradition anyway. I don’t think they suffered enough though . |
