Nigeria: Lagos Easter Carnival

Carnival is a festive season that occurs immediately before Lent (the last celebration before lent); the main events are usually during February. Carnival typically involves a public celebration or parade combining some elements of a circus, mask and public street party. People often dress up or masquerade during the celebrations, which mark an overturning of daily life. Carnival  was brought to Lagos Island by Brazilians who settled around Campos area in Lagos State and on Lagos Island.
