Niger Delta: Please The Fan And Walking Stick Symbol Mean? by Grand194(op): 5:19pm On Dec 15, 2020
Good evening everyone, please I really need your help.

Can anyone please tell me something about the Urobhos, Isokos, Itsekiri and maybe the whole of the Niger Delta region.

Why the Men use fans and walking sticks when dancing. I know it's part of the cultural heritage. But what do they signify.. ?

I would appreciate clues or answers please..

Thank you.

They simply copied colonialist and later the Elites who mingled with colonialist

That's why you see them on long European style Hats and caps, walking stick

Before copying the Europeans most Niger Delta men simply tied wrapper with their beads
