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.

The night saw a bevy of beautiful ladies who brought their best and made it a tough decision for the judges. The ladies gave a lovely mime in their cultural attires and traditional dance routines.

The Face of Idoma is Organised by Agila Carnival which has taken it upon itself in showcasing the beautiful and intelligent ladies the Idoma Nation can boost of. Giving them a huge platform in pursuing their dreams in life.

Prince Edwin Ochai of AGILA CARNIVAL

He saw poverty early in life and was unable to do. Many things other kids did. The situation prepared him and it became ingrained in him that hard work does not kill but rather brings rewards in abundance.

With this mindset, and coupled with a burning desire to excel in life, the young PRINCE EDWIN OCHAI prepared himself for hills and valleys lining the road to the top. Two years after his birth in otukpo in otukpo local government area of Benue state, young EDWIN found himself in port-Harcourt. He was staying with his uncle there; he attended Air force primary school port-Harcourt.
