Beautiful culture can we get to know more about the purpose of the masquerade

All I see is a festival of old men for old men and by old men. A reflection of the society where the youths are not allowed to shine.

But the men were once young.

Beautiful

I miss my roasted yam and red oil with sliced onion and fresh pepper. I need to hit 9ja soon honestly

It's a shame that we still have such practice in 21st century Nigeria. It's a big shame. The world has indeed left us. A real shame.
