Nigerians Take Over Manhattan
It was the 48th celebration of the Nigerian Independence and the Naija society knew just how to celebrate it in true African style. Manhattan was painted in green and white ( the national colors of Nigeria) with music busting out for all the movers to shake their assets, vendors everywhere hoping to make a profit, and the inviting aroma of traditional Nigerian dishes. Flags waved high up by joyful and excited Naija generations from the old to the young, the married to the single hopefuls.
The big shots of Nigerian society and celebrities were there as well to join in the lively parade that led to the Nigerian consulate which is now known as the “Nigerian House”. The Nigerian African community is one of the largest here in the USA so it was no suprise that the parade became such a great success. It sure did feel like ” The United States Of Nigeria”. The parade was celebrated in true African style as only the Nigerians can do.
