This past weekend was the 49th Nigerian Independence Day Celebration. New York hosted the annual Independence Day Parade, RAIN or SHINE, and the weather was definitely not Shining fabulously, however with all the love and pride we have for Nigeria the parade was a success. Various floats paraded the streets, including one with this years newly crowned Miss Nigerian Independence Feyisola Ogunfemi.
Guest performers included Serani (who is supposedly Nigerian but raised in Jamaica, still waiting on valid confirmation of this), rapper Wale (he's on Lady Gaga's remix) and many other wonderful guests, speakers and dancers who all are connected due to the immense love we have for our country, Nigeria.
Despite the torrential down pour earlier on in the day, the weather cleared up and all the fabulous East Coast Ladies and Gentlemen came out of hiding and enjoyed a wonderful afternoon meeting fellow nigerians, dancing and eating plenty of suya!!!!
Stay FAB yall
