Hi my distinguished Steemians especially those on @steem-travelers Community. I am delighted to be participating in this Contest.
Here I will be sharing a picture of masquerade Dancers I encountered on the road while on a business trip to Kaduna state This is a Mada cultual Masquerade Dancers in Nasarawa State, Nigeria, Africa. They were matching down down to the Local Government Council Secretariat. During the Inauguration/swearing in ceremony of the newly elected Local Government Chairman. The Masquerade is one of the most revered rituals among the Mada Tribe which is one of the predominant tribe in Nasarawa state. The Masquerade bus called "Ninze"* implying that a woman is not supposed to see the masquerade and paradventure a woman sees it she is liable to remain barren the rest of her life.

Okay oooo safe journey. I hope women are allowed to see your own village Masquerade?

Anyways thanks @joycefrank for the comments. I hope you wore a concave or bi-concave lens to view the masquerade on my post as a woman? Smiles!

Hope the masquerades didn't beat you

Not at all I snap from inside the car

Thank God

Thank God you were not caught snapping. Some can be aggressive towards snapping. Nice post

You are very much correct @starxious. In fact it was when our car left after I might have snapped that fellow passenger started sharing several of their encounters with them. And how snapping or video covering is highly prohibited. Someone even said that they can be so diabolical that if you snap then your phone will be deactivated and disorganized.

Have a great day. Your trip was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful post with us.
