Nigerian comedian I Go Save, whose real name is Otaghware Otas Onodjayeke, took to social media to criticize those in Nigeria who celebrate Halloween.
Halloween, celebrated on October 31, is a tradition in many Western countries, marking the night before All Hallows’ Day.
While this event is mainly a Western custom, some Nigerians have started to join in. Several celebrities have posted pictures in costumes, which upset I Go Save.
He expressed his views online, pointing out that many who look down on traditional worshippers are the same people celebrating Halloween, which he sees as similar.

“Una Dey celebrate Halloween but call Okere juju, Ifa, Ayelala, Igbe, olokun worshippers et al idol worshippers. Make una Dey do well na.”
