Lagos recently hosted the annual Badagry Festival featuring a number of cultural and sporting activities.
This year's festival was held in
honour of Marcus Garvey, an active supporter of the "Back to Africa"
movement in the United States, which aims to bridge the gap between
Africans living abroad and Africa.
Babatunde Olaide Mesewaku,
president of the African Renaissance Foundation (AREFO), told Waka About
the festival is held "to sensitise the people toward the need for
preservation and conservation of both their tangible and intangible
cultural heritage."
