The story behind this picture was when we celebrated cultural day in my church which is the day if pentecost as Catholic this a holds day of obligation because it is the day in which the holy spirit descended into the apostles and they began to speak in different languages. So we all decided to dress in our cultural attires, as you can see I am a proud Igbo man do I dressed in my native **isiagu** which means the head of a lion 🦁 this is one of the native attire of the Igbo. The celebration was really wonderful and enjoyable and we all did some drama according to our culture, they were also a dancing competition amongst different tribes and I was among one of the best dancers. After the celebration we had a lot to eat and drink and then after that we decided to take a picture so as to always remember that day. | *What made that picture special?* | |-| The picture is very special to me because those friends of mine are like brothers to me, we have helped each other in different way but unfortunately the journey of life has separated us. This picture reminds me of my tribe and also the memories of that day. | *Was it any special event or something that quickly caught your eye?* | |-| You can see three shoes in our league, especially the guy closed to me, see how it's shining very well. Honestly speaking it's Google to always dress well because it boost your self confidence and whenever I look at that picture I am always amazed and proud of myself due to my wonderful performance in the dancing competition that led to the Igbo coming first position and claiming the ultimate prize. | *Did it remind you of Any story, or Inspire you to write one for our story lovers?* | |-| The picture inspired me to write more about culture and traditions as a Nigerian, we all come from different tribes and my friends don't have their original cultural attire. That was why they dressed that way. As a proud Igbo boy, I was eager to showcase my culture to the world because I feel blessed coming of the eastern part of the country. Culture is the total way of life of the people and when you travel you learn different cultures and traditions so during thst celebration I learnt some new things about other culture and it was a really wonderful overall experience for me. | *Was it taken by you or any professional photographer?* | |-| The picture was taken by a passer by, i mean someone i don't even know that much although we communicate sometimes so i called him and gave him yhe phone to capture me and my friends.
