[3min Read]


I find it funny when people get angry that a lot of youths seem so obsessed with dancing in multiple shakes and bounces. They get angry that youths aren't "working hard" or "reading hard" all the time.

But the funny thing is, they're actually the people who often promote this obsession in the first place, albeit indirectly.

Think about it like this. When you go to a childrens' party, or any adult event where children happen to attend as well, have you never realized that the only thing they often ask children to do are dance competitions? We actively promote a culture where dancing is given so much extreme emphasis, and rewarded more than almost anything. Why else will they end up in constant worship of body movements?

The Odenigbo Experience: The Intellectual and Cultural Festival



Many people may have heard about the Odenigbo festival, many people may not. All in all, I just decided to use this medium to share a little light on my experience today on the “Intellectual and Cutural Festival” aspect which I attended.

So…..I was asked to go to this festival thing by my dear mother today. She said it was an Intellectual Cultural festival. It was meant to be part of a larger festival named the “Odenigbo” held in Owerri every year. I have a very limited amount of information on it at the moment however, so I will refrain on speaking on matters I do not know a lot about. In this day and age, the end result would be that I’d end up throwing controversy on myself if that were the case.
