VIBRANT YOUTHS OF NGWUO DOING THE TRADITIONAL IGBO DANCE

The condemnation, degradation and destruction of African ways of life by European missionaries and colonialists in the past, and overzealous African religious extremists of the present is still having advert negative effects on African culture. Many great African dance performances, theatricals, music, folk tales, rituals and festivals are today extinct. Also innumerable quantities of priceless artefacts has been destroyed, and are still being destroyed by ignorant religious extremists. All these notwithstanding, seeing young people like these youths from Ngwuo, digging this particular dance style of the (Waawa) Igbo of Enugu state of Nigeria gives the joyous impression that after all, all is not lost.

@childofconvenant well i dont agree but as long as you don't mean it in a bad way

[childofconvenant]

@relaxitzjustkrystal thats a compliment cuz black american/caribs (being a mix of all tribes) are some of the beautiful looking group of blacks maybe no 4 on my list, Fulanis Edos also on my list.

Afro Americans don't look igbo, but they possess looks of different tribes, some lk Igbo, some Fulani, Wolof etc. Like Notorious Big (Yoruba), Jay Z( igbo) Snoop Dogg (Fulani, Some Sahel tribe) beyonce (fulani/efik) igbos to get that look

@relaxitzjustkrystal comparitively speaking an Igbo man is most likely to resemble a carribbean then any other group in Naija, or better put a Carib/Afro American is more likely to have igbo looks then another tribe
