It was during our new year visit to Bakassi, my maternal home. Bakassi is a peninsula on the Gulf of Guinea. It lies between the Cross River estuary, near the city of Calabar in the west, a boundary between Nigeria and Cameroon.

We were all full of smiles as to start the year together as a family. My beautiful cousins and their sense of adventure jumped around the vicinity.
.
Then came three masquerades to say hello to the family. Later one joined, making them four.
Hello masquerade, can we take selfie please.. And he pose for it. I was excited! Masquerades are known to be Scarry creatures. But this was our compound, we had welcome the masquerade and they had expectations to leave with a fat purse too.
We left for calabar later that same evening. I may not see masquerade again till another Christmas or new year when we will visit the village again.

You do? I was scared of going closer initially but having had some bucks in my wallet i picked up courage to get closer. That's having a contingency plan.
