This year, it had 12 states in attendance unlike the usual 36 states…
The
Abuja carnival kicked off with 90 percent of its residents unaware of
it, but no matter. It officially started on the 24th of November 2012
five hours late with the usual colourful parade through the streets of
Area one all the way to the Eagle square.
This
year, it had 12 states in attendance unlike the usual 36 states with
about six visiting countries of which I saw only their flags which was
being carried around by our fellow countrymen.
This
year’s carnival had the usual, cultural displays of dance, masquerades
and food. Other programs included the boat regatta, the durbar, polo
tournament and musical concert, just to mention a few. Despite the
shoddy preparation, one couldn’t help but appreciate the beauty and
diversity of our cultures; it makes you proud to be Nigerian.
Enough talk, let my pictures below do the rest of the talking.
