The festival is managed by a not-for-profit organisation called the LTF Foundation. When the dates for the 2020 festival were announced, a representative of the Foundation told the press, “the Lagos Theatre Festival is aimed at promoting theatre in Nigeria. It is interested in works that are unique and can be adapted to unconventional spaces. We look forward to receiving applications from producers, directors and performers who are ready to think out of the box and eager to present works from a different genre of theatre.”
The festival has grown to become West Africa’s largest arts festival and is rapidly becoming an important event on the international arts calendar too. So, if you find yourself in Lagos this February, either on business or vacation, be sure to make a point of appreciating some great Nigerian theatre. You may even want to travel to the city specifically to see the shows – Lagos will be ready to receive you!

]]>It’s the biggest carnival in Africa, and includes a variety of overlapping festive events held throughout the month of December every year.
It takes place in Calabar, also known as Canaan City, which is the capital of Cross Rivers State in south-eastern Nigeria. The city of Calabar lies near the Calabar and Great Kwa rivers, about 771 km to the east of Lagos, and it takes roughly 13 hours by road and 1 hour and 15 minutes by air to travel to. It is Nigeria’s 26th largest city by population.
It all began in 2004 when the governor of Cross Rivers State, Donald Duke, launched it as a stimulus for the local economy and tourism industry. His aim was to make Calabar the number one tourist destination for Nigerians. It was intended as a uniquely Nigerian event that would showcase and celebrate the local culture.
The program is highly varied and includes a Cultural Carnival, Bikers Carnival, International Carnival and Street Party, as well as an ongoing schedule of family-oriented events in line with the festive season and the celebration of African cultures.
Safety is always a top concern for tourists, and the Cross Rivers State government assures visitors that security and safety are a top priority for them, particularly during the month of December.
Calabar has plenty of accommodation; however, it fills up quickly in advance of the carnival. If you haven’t yet booked your hotel in the city, you could even stay in one of the cities nearby, including Port Harcourt. Or, you could fit the carnival into your visit to Abuja or Lagos, the cities that are the most common destinations in Nigeria. If you’ve missed the boat to stay in Calabar, why not book a hotel in Lagos and take the short flight to visit the carnival during your stay?
If you decide to stay in a Lagos hotel on your way to Calabar, look no further than the Sheraton Lagos for your accommodation. This is a beautiful hotel located on Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way in Ikeja, not far from Murtala Muhammed International Airport.
]]>The cultural roots of the festival lie in ancient agrarian Igbo society, where a person’s wealth was measured by the major crop of the time, namely yams. Many years later, yam fufu instead of yam cassava is still a sign of wealth and importance, with many prestigious parties or occasions having yam fufu on the menu.
Yams are harvested before August, but the people of Igboland often wait until after the festival before they consume the yams. The festival is seen as the cultural approval that people need to eat yams.
The festival is a time for various tribes to come together and celebrate. The festival kicks off with a public ceremonial roasting of yams by the elder members of tribes and the chief of tribes. The first yams are offered to the yam/earth gods, called ‘Ohajoku’, and the rest are shared by community members. Some of the condiments used to cook the yams include salt, fresh palm oil, utazi, crayfish, peppers, and onions, to name a few.
After the roasting of the yams, a royal dance, cultural dance, masquerade parade, and musical renditions by various cultural groups will take place. The New Yam Festival is as old as the Igbo culture itself, which is why it is widely attended by people of Nigeria as well as those from overseas and across borders.
Foreign attendees may choose to enter the country from Lagos. If you will be entering Nigeria from the Eastern part of the country, be sure to book a stay at the Ikeja Sheraton Hotel, which is conveniently located at 30 Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way, Maryland.
