@Kei Adams she was just expressing herself the way she knew how. I don't even know this tribe but like her I'm appreciating it the way I know. No need to get all huffed up about it. Say thank you and move on.
in a world that worships bone-thin women as the ultimate sign of beauty, its refreshing to see full figured ladies getting the thumbs up. abeg just dont induce diabetes or heart disease for them o ;-)
The caption says it's for a wedding, but can anyone explain the meaning/purpose of the dance? I was thinking the costumes sort of look like bumble bees, it's this supposed to represent a fertility dance (bees/pollination)? Just my observations
Fire-breathing momma the traditional dance of efik woman represents the wave moments of the ocean. I'm igbo but my step dad is efik and that is what he told me
its for the occasions and bride and groom, its giving honour notin else, its our tradition and we love it ur hip pop has a meaning for dancing it? or tweak? we African love and embrace d white race and their culture so y can't they do same to us
These are not descended from ancient Egyptians. We in West Africa have always had our our own kingdoms/empires, civilizations, culture, and traditions.
nteje dancing is always graceful, but why do you guys loooove to fatten up your maidens before the wedding?? Slender beautiful girls enter the fattening rooms and emerge humongous!!
The seclusion that we call Nkuho is not really about being fattened up. It's a rite of passage into womanhood. They don't emerge humongous, those who are prone to gaining weight do gain a lot of weight when they are in the seclusion because they are literally not allowed to do anything except learn how to be an Efik woman and many of the maidens loose the weight when they go back to their normal life. If you look at other pictures of Efik maidens you would see that they are not all humongous as you rudely put it.
I am proudly part yoruba.... but efik/se/ss Nigerian culture/cultures are so BEAUTIFUL!!!!....I love how Nigeria is so diverse.

Im not from the efik side, I'm Igbo, but Im pretty sure that it does not represent bees 😶😶, its probably just a dance.
