What happened to FESTAC'77 ?

[@salihoubaba872]

I was at Lagos that Time, our house was very close to the surulere stadium, adebola street. From the windows WE can see the ambiance...

[@gmog7857]

This should be revived and done across Africa.

[@emmanueladeyosoye4070]

All I can say it was Nigeria at it's best if things were on track after that we could have held the Olympic games

[@yomstars]

I remember the Festac 77 theme song very well. I was 10 years old when Festac was on, living in Jos, Benue Plateau State in those days. I loved the performances then even as a 10 year old. Sweet memories. Thanks for posting.

[@Siena2671]

I remember this like it was yesterday. I was still a nipper at the time! Great memories. ❤️

[@SF-dx4fx]

wow!!! I was 4 years old during Festac 77 and this song has always been stuck in my head!!!

[@kanayonnamani5834]

When Nigeria was Nigeria. Just look at the face of that crowd and the quality of commentary.

[@euniceawosika3416]

I remember this so well. We lived in festac from 1978. Our eyes were glued to our black and white tv. The days when Nigeria was a safe country to live in. We memorised the theme song. So much memories. I didn't even know this was online.

How I wish you can show us the performance of every musician at the event. Cheers 🥂.

I was also a teenager then and still remember all the preparations made by my country's contingent, DRC, then Zaïre. Ô my Africa, ô my African diaspora, so why we always can't stick to and stick at what is good for ourselves so that we earn respect from others?

[@igwefrancis9546]

Today every African talk down on Nigeria despite all her efforts, I don't like Nigeria either but it deserve some respect.

Never knew Nelly Uchendu was part of the Festac 77 choir. Interesting. Remember listening to the theme song every morning by 7 am on radio as we headed off to school, good old days

[@olanrewajuabiodun7797]

Fantastic

Very nice.. Great

[@princeedukere]

Its a beautiful reminder of life in 77. The FESATAC logo of the benin mask and several things like the theme song was fun. There was a song i enjoyed then .... "Vickee ye ma pum eh". Cant recall the artiste but it was fun

[@williamsonoja6707]

They really displayed jazz ( otumokpo)

[@frankgreen9619]

Y'all know Nigeria went south after this event. All this countries came and dump their problems and demons here. See how they all left us behind because as this country is going it's not ordinary 😢

[@gantswood]

I totally agree with you - the beginning of the end for Nigeria especially for spiritual reasons. We all know spiritual controls the physical.

[@bashybounty]

I strongly feel like this is a myth

[@aliabdullahi5002]

I wonder what happened

[@chidieberehenry42]

A lot of resources was looted out of Nigeria in d name of Festac

[@joshuaeze8047]

The beginning of God Anger in Nigeria, we all need to repent and beg God for His forgiveness for bringing idols in this blessed land. Jesus my Lord pls have mercy upon Nigeria and Africa.

I learnt Nigeria started going downhill right after this event was held and they have never recovered since.

My Dad also said same, I wonder why, maybe the gods attached to those arts decided to frustrate any effort on progress.

[@donhouston916]

there is a repented witch that said she and her coven handed Nigeria over to the devil during this event. That may not seem true, but you cant deny that Nigeria started going downhill after this event

@Nnamdi Chukwuka exactly

[@josepholalere619]

It was a folly event in the eyes of God, our deliverer. How I wish those days were celebrated in the name of God instead of deities who enslaved us in the first place. No surprise how things have turned out for all Blacks around the globe especially the economic woes our nation is facing currently. Heavenly Father, have mercy and heal our land. We, the people you created in your image are suffering. Establish a culture of Heaven on Earth. Our identity is only found in Jesus Christ.

[@TobiAra]

This festival was celebrated 44years ago. God warned Nigerians but they were adamant. Nigeria is a land that God cherishes so much but since they deviated from God by bringing idols, they must pay. Nothing can change this. God honors his word more than is name. If you want to run is better you do... Because everything that is happening in Nigeria God knows.

This is one of the very things that arouse the anger of God in Nigeria, Idolatrous celebration so called festac-77. If Nigeria refuses to repent from this evil act committed against God, then me and you must personally repent from the evil of festac-77 that Nigeria has committed against God.
