Traditional or White

Which is more colourful, a traditional or white wedding? Most Nigerians have come to appreciate the traditional marriage ceremony over the white or European wedding. Even though the latter is also carried out, but the traditional and cultural way of organising the traditional marriage is so colourful.

In recent times, Ghanaians have also adapted using traditional clothes such as kente to add colour to the ocassion.

 I believe the white or European marriage ceremony is just a secondary celebration to climax the customary or traditional marriage. Folks, which is the actual marriage? Is it the white or the traditional?

Queen of Tatoos

Dear blogville, If you've read my article on 'Why I admire Nigerian Movies' you will understand why Nollywood has a place in my heart. Some actors and actresses I never miss their shows are; Patience Ozorkor, Olu Jacobs, Bruno Ihuoha, Pete Eneh, Pete Edochie, Florence Onoma, Christie Okonkwo, Maureen Solomon, etc.  One young actress I also admire so much is Tonto Dikeh. She performs her role with so much passion from being a President's daughter to a common house help. However,  I couldn't believe it till I saw it with my own eyes that Tonto has a controversial tatoo on her back in addition to 57 others on her body. Whatever calls for this 'fashion' is left to her to say. I feel its not necessary cos, she is only poisoning her blood. Does she want to enter into the Guinness Book of World Records?  God have mercy. Shalom! picture credit: Nigeriafilms.com
