      I was looking for this comment. I'm of Igbo descent and when I watch this through, nobody had to tell me this was of Igbo origin. How crazy its still in practice up there. Its mostly observed during the New Yam Festival

    Yes I love it, all I see is carnival, that we have in london. When we came over here we brought are culture of the indigene american indians. It's a beautiful thing no matter how they try to suppress are culture etc. When we look at the America's we all have the same culture linking us to the lands of America's and no where else.
