AGILA CARNIVAL 2015...Consolidating the Idoma Cultural Assets and Values @agilacarnival @don_ochai

Agila Social and Economic Carnival(also known as Idoma National Carnival) has officially unveiled the activities for the 2015 edition of its annual event which is at its 3rd season. 

The carnival is an expression of Idoma identity intended to occasion a cultural Renaissance. The focal of the carnival is to re-invigorate the rather latent heritage of the Idoma people of Benue State, North Central Nigeria and create a platform for economic negotiations, mobilizing investments by identifying business potentials and resources of the zone.   Therefore through the instrumentality of music, dance, masquerades, cultural parades and pageantry, the carnival also hopes to engender youth empowerment and economic revival.      

                            
This year's activities with the theme: Consolidating the Idoma Cultural Assets and Values' kicks off on the 23rd Dec in Otukpo, the traditional and economic headquarters of the Idoma people with the biggest street party north of the Niger(carnival procession) and will proceed to Ado LGA for a Novelty Football match, cultural displays/ masquerades, traditional wrestling, musical concert, fire works, etc with glitz and glamour. 

The Face of Idoma Beauty Pageant which is the most celebrated and anticipated contest in Benue State holds on Christmas day where the winner is rewarded with a brand new Hyundai Xcent . 

The President/CEO of Agila Carnival prince Edwin Ochai has also revealed to the press that 2face Idibia who is an ambassador of the carnival and Terry G will be leading both A-list musicians and comedians to the event  to thrill fun lovers this yuletide.

GOOD STUFF: Davido Makes the Biggest Announcement of the Year So Far

David ‘Davido’ Adeleke has announced that he would launch his ‘Skelewu’ album on March 17, 2014, in the United Kingdom.


‘Omo Baba Olowo’ gave this hint during a live television show ‘LiveATBattersea’ which was aired around the world and anchored by Adesope Olajide.


It would be noted that this year the artiste has been on a U.K. tour, trilling his fans with his songs (pictured above).





The HKN artiste, Davido, had just released a new single this year titled ‘Aye’, in which he had to divert from the normal hip hop style of music to a rural high life genre of music. The single even got in the list of TOP-10 recommended for St. Valentine’s day.


It would be recalled that Skelewu madness started in August 2013, when Davido announced the dance contest, which was a big success and even caused ‘stampede’ on YouTube.


Are you going to buy the whole album, or will you get it by another means?

It all started when Niyola tweeted about the issue of virginity saying she ain't one but she also isn't a slut.

Niyola got a wind of it and replied him;

The fan got upset and retweeted a tweet insulting Niyola that photoshop makes her look like Beyonce, while in person she looks like Whoopi Goldberg.

Niyola got fed up, I guess and replied with;

But then, do you think Niyola's caused all of this or the fan was just being plain rude
