k00lxpert: this is not a Nigerian cultural carnivals we re xpecting, its a continuation & convergence of 'All naked street strippers volunteers association(s) of Calabar & environs, gathered together to entertain fools & jobless wakapass pple...To me, they re shameless bastard Nigerians. dont quote me, its just my opinionWhat exactly is Nigeria culture? Please name them! If anything culture associated with Nigeria nowhere in the world today is fraud and stealing public money by public officials. In my opinion, the so called carnival is doing you lot, loads of unpaid positive PR for the first time. 1 Like |

abdulkayus: Stil amazed as hw some ppl doesnt c anytin wrong in d shameless show of unclothedness called carnival. To me, its barbaric, degradin women to sex objects.You sounded like the King of Swaziland, who recently banned mini skirt but every year girls even from the age of 16 are line up nude in public ceremony for him to chose his newest wife. He said that is his culture and mini skirt is a foreign culture. If you are not a hypocrite yourself, why do you watch this carnival at all? And if you don't watch it, how come you knew what they were wearing? Adults that claim not to eat rat meat but its okay to use their teeth to share it among the children. |

ehie: our culture before the arrival of whitey,women walked around without shirts...that was our culture,before we embraced the white man's cultureIgnorance at its best yet so painfully bliss Culture doesn't exist in a void Have you ever asked what ever happened to the supporting structures of 'our' culture? The color of the skin of those who intiated&accelerated the dismantling&demise of those supporting structures&institutions? The bunch of plantains is decaying you say its ripening |

We are what we do more than what we say. The manifestations of the Calabar Carnival are what the governor and his wife and cabinet and the organizers are. As Jesus Christ our Lord and Messiah said, by their fruits you shall know them.

Demdem:Are they forced you not only to go to Calabar on the day but also forced you down the street where its happening? If you don't like carnival turn to another channel or turn off the TV and do some work in the house or even sleep. We can't ban internet, just because there are websites that doesn't conform to me/yours moral standards, we just simply avoid them. period! I lived in London for more than 30 years before moving to Surrey but I had never been to Nothing Hill carnival even for once, just because its doesn't interest me, even though its a stone throw away from my home Hammersmith. |

Eventhough we were na.ked then, I believe the cultural mindset was conservative. Can't say the same for today. |

* thinking about what the carnival is all about.an idea comes to mind. check a dictionary* MODERN DICTIONARY OF THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT . CALABAR CARNIVAL,THE : A Pagan festival, reminiscent of the early Olympic games that had to be banned because of the o.r.g.i.e.s & various other depravities that were associated with them. Think things are going to get better ? Don't count on it. Everything is going to get worse as the world heads to a cataclysmic end. |

Nigerians know how to be pious and outraged over things like exposed titties and homosexuals. The west is outraged by things like child molestation and corruption. Guess who has the better society. When I lived in the west, my next door neighbors would always wear their bikinis and tan during summer...in plain view. Guess what? Over time I got used to it. I began to understand later that they have a more moral society than ours, because we do not protect the weak and ailing the way that they do. 4 Likes |
