Masquerade Dressing could Help Solve Job Issues in Nigeria- Lai Mohammed http://t.co/giXh2KIexb via @heraldng pic.twitter.com/DDphNHiZoA— Nigeria Newsdesk (@NigeriaNewsdesk) 4 May 2016
Lai Mohammed, minister of information and culture, says dressing masquerades could create a thousand jobs per week for Nigerian men.
Speaking at the sectoral debate of the federal house
of representative in Abuja on Tuesday, Mohammed said most states in
Nigeria have one festival or the other.
“Most states today have
more than one festival a year, but the packaging and lack of capacity
has not enabled them to make the most out of these festivals,” he said.
“There’s a particular masquerade in the south east, it takes 100 people to dress him, another 100 people to undress him.
“If
this masquerade is well-packaged, it can provide employment in one week
for more than 1000 young men. These are some of the untapped
potentials.”
It is well known that the town square is where masquerades come to stage their specialties for public spectacle.
IN this new age, the twitter has equally become a virtual square where people come to stage their specialties; wisdom and folly for public 'readacle'.
Lai's masqurade (in flowing white agbada) has been brought to the twitter square and here are some reactions...
