Thanks for the link to the pictures.

As usual with this sort of thing, there were elements that were immediately familiar (e.g. the drums and the kembe trousers worn by followers of Oba Xango).

What makes our cultures so rich is how every community adds something from thier own experiences to the celebrations and by so doing, keeping the culture alive and vital.

When I am back home, I travel to different towns in order that I may witness celebrations and it is never the same in two places.

For example, Ogun festival in Ijebu is a bit different from Ogun festival in Ekiti.

In spite of what some may like to believe, our culture is not a museum piece, it is something that still has a lot of relevance to our realities at this time and, it will be a beautful day when it is the norm for us to travel across the seas to witness each other's celebrations.

Wisdom and Strength.
