TODAY IS Africa's Biggest Street Party/CALABAR CARNIVAL

Today 28the December is  Calabar Carnival festival in Nigeria, also tagged " Africa's Biggest Street Party", was created as part of the vision of making the Cross River State, Nigeria, the number one tourist destination for Nigerians and tourists all over the world.


The carnival which holds every December has boosted the cultural mosaic of Nigeria people while entertaining millions of spectators within and outside the State, and boosting industry for all stakeholders.

Living in harmony amongst humans has always been a problem from the beginning of time, so, the Carnival Calabar themed, "Humanity" was created to challenge mankind that every human being has a right to existence. 

The theme was also meant to charge mankind not to be a source of pain to another person’s life. Apart from dancing and displaying the rich culture of the African people, the Carnival Calabar serves as an opportunity to address the world's problems, in which inhumanity is a part. As the Governor, His Excellency, Sir Sen. Prof. Benedict Ayade flagged this year's theme - Humanity he emphasised the need for all to shun war as this does not depict the true personality of those who claims are humane to humanity.
