Lovers of theatre and art were treated to what can be described as a real treat last weekend when Entertainment Bus-Stop led by celebrated Nigerian playwright, Eki Faith Eboigbe’s opened their 2014 thaetre season with a splendid performance of Okikiro, the love of country at the Agip Recital Hall, Muson Centre, Onikan.

The festival which began with the unveiling of the festival programme in Lagos had a lot of festivity. As in the previous years, there were contests in football match displays, inter-lineal cultural competition, mountaineering, art exhibition among others.

THE town folks said it, it’s been a long time they witnessed it. Indeed, cultural carnivals, like in many other Igbo communities, are becoming a relic. Worse still, traditional burials, one of the people’s carnival expressions, which used to be their cultural exhibitions in the days of yore, are becoming rarer

IRESI, a serene town in Boluwaduro local government Area of Osun State literally erupted in frenzy of cultural performances recently when they celebrated Iresi Socio-Cultural Festival.

To me today’s event is a combination of education and healthcare, which represents the core of human capital development. This was the words of Governor Babatunde Fashola, the executive governor of Lagos State during the launch of a book, Heroes and Others, written by award winning author and the outgoing Chief Medical Director (CMD) of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Dr. Femi Olugbile at the conference hall of Protea Hotel, Ikeja.
