The Idoma International Carnival is set to return with a bang following its break in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Organisers of the show adjudged to be the biggest carnival on southern flank of Benue Valley had suspended the fiesta in 2020 due to the hardship that accompanied the COVID-19 lockdown.
Consequently, the organisers pended the show and decided to give back to the society.
To fill the void, the founder, Prince Edwin Ochai, hosted a special charity edition tagged ‘Ohigbu K’ Achoalo” (For the sake of our people).
The charity brought relief to the underprivileged across the land as they went home with foodstuff including rice, yam, groundnut oil, palm oil and noodles.
In a statement on Friday, Chief Ochai said Idoma International Carnival would hold from 23rd to 26th December, 2021 in Otukpo, Benue State amid bigger and better funfair.
According to him, the event will feature amazing activities such as Idoma Got Talent, Ogbureke traditional wrestling contest, “to our popular bonfire night, comedy, music concert and let’s not forget our prestigious pageantry, the much-anticipated Face of Idoma beauty pageant, among other exciting activities.
“It is a known fact that the yearly fiesta, which we started eight years ago has been adjudged as one of the most sought after events for lovers of culture, tradition, fun, ideas, travels, trends and fashion.
“The carnival was inspired by a common desire amongst to showcase the rich Idoma cultural heritage and her tourism potentials globally, while attracting investment opportunities to the area.
“It has doubt attracted notable Nigerian industries, organisations, corporate entities, grounded arts and social personalities. It is a money-generating product, a youth empowerment platform and an innovative entrepreneurship project.
“This year, there would be many exciting activities which we will announce in due course,” Ochai said.
