THE CALABAR PORNIVAL!!!

   Don't know 'bout you guys,but to me the 2012 Calabar Car(porn)nival was a total flop and a confirmation of Nigeria's (now full blown) Moral Decadence.

   Previous editions of the carnival was well organized with much family content in mind,since it is a sort of gathering for families to come and celebrate their rich cultural heritage ;in the past it was such that from dance moves to costumes and logistics, there was enough to cheer about. I began thinking,finally,the Calabar carnival once again has given us enough reasons to be proud of being Nigerians. Oh how I have been wrong!

The amount of nudity on display in 2012 Calabar Car(porn)ival was enough to make a grown man cry! It was enough to make a Reverend Father go to a closet and masturbate! On a more serious note, it was disgusting.

According to media reports,the organizers in order to meet up with the standard of the world's best carnivals i.e held in Brasilia and Trinidad n' Tobago, they invited the Thombais Vai Vai Samba Band, Sao Paulo carnival champions and Leventila Steel Band of Trinidad and Tobago. This was one decision taken with little or no regard for children and teenagers in the audience, considering this is a family event.

  Neither of the bands disappointed.Both bands brought their own unique styles to a carnival which without them, has already garnered widespread appeal. But the diversity added spice.’’ One media report said.

  The spice happened to be the spectacle, that if any eye in Calabar during that period didn't behold,that eye must pro'lly been blind. It was a spectacle of choco-milko complexioned women,scantly clad in g-strings,bikinis and possibly c-strings,all festooned with feathers and other vegas-like (red-district) accessories. The girls were hot, no doubt, with bodies that can compete favourably with beauty queens in international beauty pageants (even though we all know Brazil offers one of the cheapest plastic surgeries in the world and one out of every three Brazilian women has gone under the knife albeit successfully).

  It was indeed an Immoral spectacle to behold as these ladies danced, jiggled raw flesh and temperatures went sky-high. Men swooned, women admired (quite a number probably wishing for statistics as perfect as these ones) and children gazed transfixed at this open soft porn playing before their eyes without any parental discretion (the best Christmas present in years, I dare say).

  Obviously, there was something for everyone...even security operatives on duty threw all caution to the winds and starred at these angels that must have fallen from the sky,with their sumptuous multi-coloured asses (buttocks) and ample and ripened cleavage on display.

  I therefore strongly want to plead with the Cross River State Government and other states that organize Carnivals in their states; they should all endeavour to make sure that in subsequent editions,wholesome family content would be paramount in their Carnivals. If this is not done,these so called Tourism/Money spinnig Carnivals should be scrapped. Else, posterity shall never forgive this generation.
