ALL HALLOWS’ EVEN
by Kayinsola Doherty.

Hey guys, with Halloween just coming up soon, it crossed my mind that in Nigeria we don’t really celebrate or go ‘trick or treating’, the day is always like any normal day. Truth is some people will base it on their superstitious beliefs or some will claim there’s nowhere to celebrate it (which most will claim).Well, for those who don’t know what Halloween is or what it is about, this is for you, Halloween is an annual holiday celebrated on October 31^st, it is gotten from the Celtic festival of samhain and the Christian holiday of All Saints Day. The day is associated with orange and black, it is strongly associated with symbols like the Jack-o’-lantern. The activities of the day includes trick or treat, wearing of costumes, bonfires, costume parties, pranking people (the highlight of the day for me, lol), watching scary movies and all the scary things you can think about.

However, in naija, the costume is the major attraction as people are particular about what they wear and an opportunity to look hot in a scary way. Please before you go out looking stupid without knowing how well to dress for Halloween, u must understand that Halloween costumes are traditionally those of monsters like ghosts, skeletons, witches and devils, also themes from movies and TV shows and pop culture icons. I’m sure you’re saying after wearing your scary Halloween costumes where do you wear it to, so far I’ve heard of just some Halloween parties and it promises to be fun and most of your favorite celebs will be there, so if you’re looking to celebrate Halloween then be at double4 restaurant, silverbird, galleria and also swe bar.a

So people pls come out at your scariest best. Happy Halloween.
