No one is afraid of your useless ajofia. Why not bring out ajofia on Monday morning in Nnewi as a form of braveness to help you win battle against the sit at home.

Your charity must begin at home.

Stop glorifying the rubbish ajiofa. If your ancestor ajiofa masquerade is that powerful, he should start coming out every Monday to help your fight against Monday sit at home.

For once sit down in your enclave and stop jumping around. Have you seen the Yorubas taking their masquerade to your region... SW and SE didn't share any border together, keep your useless ajiofa to your 5 plots.

The Ajiofa spirit masquerade that parallarizes people that speaks or think evil about it……

Yorubas must have to be very careful bcuz this particular masquerade is a dreaded spirit masquerade and not an ordinary one……

The masquerade’s body is adorned with a variety of dead animals, live animals, and crawling insects, enhancing its potency of charms, it also produces Smokes, often seen emanating from Ajofia Nnewi’s head of which must not be inhaled by anyone against it or anyone that speaks or thinks evil about it….

Same reason it carrries “anunu ebe,” a tree under which no bird perches and no plant can grow.

So Igbos can no longer bring their cultural heritage to Lagos?
Has it gotten to that stage?
This is like saying Okpa ( I don't know how they spell ) but it is called Babara Nut pudding should not be sold in Lagos because it is Igbo origine and many people don't like it.

Or Esan man can no bring their special masquerade Ubadomeme to an Event in Lagos?

South Africa no do reach this one o.

I pray Tinubu Tax bill should be passed into law.
Those people that support the concentration of our common wealth in Lagos will start speaking up against it when their state and pocket begin to fill the heat, then this tribalism will stop.

There is unity, straight and Beauty in diversity

Shame no dey catch una,if Yoruba decides to celebrate Eyo festival or Oloolu in Igboland or Oro,how will Igbos feel.

You guys need to maintain boundaries.Una for take the masquerade go England to dance for King Charles wey him.countries create Nigger area or carry the Masquerade go Kano.
Tinubu must give una Biafra of the 5 Igbo states any state that wants to join can do so.

Lagos is becoming too hard.... Most can't travel to east due to money issue and security, the masquerade shud be allowed to come

Honestly the last election caused a lot of damage to the relationship between the yorubas and the igbos. Before now, the yorubas do not care if igbo man is Eze in Lagos, or masquerade of nnewi coming to Lagos or igbos appointed commissioners all of a sudden the yorubas are now becoming hostile to anything igbo. I would say the igbos are the architect of whatever the yorubas of Lagos are dishing out to them right now.
For peace to reign, let everyone stay in their regions and perform traditional masquerade dance as they like. It is excesses taking the gods of a region to a different region. The gods of the second region will be angry.
Before we start having sango/ogún fighting with amadioha
How are Igbos the architect of it? Because an Igbo person contested the elections and most Igbos supported him with many Nigerians? Is that how Igbos are the architect? You cowardly bullies. Fulani go de kill una, de sack una from your homes but na Igbos wey de mind their businesses you go carry for your dirty mouths all the time.

Just know this: The fire you're stoking will consume you. Igbos can be gentle for a long time. But, once you activate them, na you go tire. Go and find out what stopped the incessant killing of Igbos in Kano. Bye bye.

How on earth is police supposed to interfere in this ? There are institutions that deals with tradition and culture, police are meants to uphold the law not to dictate what is law

Tradition and culture are not laws.....

They are civil affair that the police can take up...

Though I don't support the opposition of such display of the masquerade if it brings no harm

Unfortunately for you, yorubas are not known for starting troubles with other tribedls. Which is why you rarely see them trouping to your region. Besides, are you suggesting that you would fight the yorubas and defeat them in their own land? You have more to lose if you try a tribal war with them. How many Yoruba business have you seen in the east? But come to ibadan, Akure, osogbo ogún State not to talk of Lagos. Don't even try what will ruin you. You are the one to talk to your people. Your excesses are too much.

To come and do what exactly? If you know the meaning of tradition, such a masquerade or any other in any part of Nigeria will only be effective in his ancestors land not foreign land. Imagine women don't see it, meaning women in Lagos that doesn't know the masquerade will not go to work? Not possible. It will not be respected.

Mention the excesses of Igbos that are too much if they are not only in your dark hateful soul? Tell me the excesses of Igbos that are more than those of Fulani and Yoruba? For example, how many times have you seen Igbos killing other Nigerians? How many times have you seen Igbos freely trash-talking other tribes as you are doing here?

Your problem in Nigeria is that you have bully spirits. Every bully is a coward who runs from those who are dangerous but tries to oppress those who are gentle.

Let me tell you now: That Igbos mind their businesses doesn't mean they are cowards. If an Igbo starts a conflict, it is always in response to a real oppression and he doesn't go for soft-targets as you all do.

For example, did you ever believe that Igbos will start confronting soldiers to the extent of killing many of them?

Yorubas didn't care before truly. Igbo commissioners and all but yorubas didn't complain. Until Igbo now started saying infact lagos is no man's land that they own lagos and developed it and called yorubas dirty backward people, and were even contesting for governorship claiming they are the owners of lagos.

This is what triggered the yoruba consciousness. I don't pity our people at all. We too do. We too can't tolerate it from another tribe in the South East.

We like to cry fowl but forget Due process. The lagos state government and security agencies aren't supposed to come Last in such arrangements, they come first. Get all necessary permits, collaborate with the lagos state ministry of Arts and culture.
Masquerades in Nigeria represent cultures and Beliefs. This would have been a great opportunity for the South East and Lagos state government to collaborate in promoting the igbo culture while entertaining tourists this festive season. The event would have pulled out thousands of people and not just a small venue like Festival hotel. The organisers didn't see a bigger picture.

Tribalism has killed us (Oodua) even within ourselves, why are we like this? Is anything bad in showcasing our heritage and culture, If the PR was done properly both online or through newspaper, I am sure this would have attracted some kind of tourism, let’s forget about different ethnicities, we can jump away from cultural background.
