The inaugural Cultural Show was attended by foreigners and Nigerians in the U.S. as well as diplomats and officers.
Sola Atanda of Endless Roar Tourism and Trade, who is a renown Ifa priest and President of the Healing and Teaching Temple of African Faith , who joined the event virtually, commended the Consulate-General in New York for promoting Nigeria’s rich heritage through exhibition of cultural festivals.
“Culture promotes life and describes who we are, moulds our characters and when culture is lost, moral decadence will come in. “They are foreign to our culture; we are better than that and that is why culture should be preached. “The festival features a must-see fishing competition where thousands of fishermen compete to catch fish with their bare hands.
The emir said the festival had become more than fishing as it had become a tool of reconciliation, tourism and education. It was organised by the Nigeria Consulate, New York, in collaboration with the New York African Chorus Ensemble, the African Tourism Board and the Nigerian-American Public Affairs Committee.
