Cultural festivals have been a part of Nigeria since its existence. It is interesting to watch the cultural festivals in each tribe because it is not only a source of entertainment but can be enlightening as well. Also, they happen at diffrent times in the country.

There are more than 365 festivals in Nigeria, some of which dates back to the period before the arrival of the major religions in her ethnically and culturally diverse society. These festivals have been showcasing and boosting the country's diverse cultures.

Through cultural festivals, we learn a lot more about the tribe, the background of the festival, and why it is celebrated. It also helps in bonding with people from other tribes across the country.
