Lagos City Suya Carnival by Suya Stops In Conjunction with Lagos State Government and Ministry of Arts...
The Lagos City Suya Carnival.
The idea was borne out of the need to
celebrate Africa, Nigeria and most especially our Lagos using one of the
chops that has become a household name across metropolis over several
years.
Suya, as we all know, didn’t originate
from Lagos but you will all agree with me that the average Lagos street
or road has one Suya joint or a nearby Suya Mallam joint just few
streets away. Such is the love we have shown this delicacy that has
seemingly become part and parcel of Lagos.
A Suya carnival, you might wonder? Well,
this is one carnival that isn’t been replicated from anywhere in the
world as it has its own origin here in Lagos, Nigeria. Which better way
could we have launched such a carnival with such magnitude? Where could
we have launched this and when could we have launched the Lagos City
Carnival are the questions that ravaged our mind when this idea came to
me.
For us, after so many deliberations we
concluded that no where other than Lagos is perfect for us to berth with
this carnival. And which better way to launch it than the commemoration
of the Lagos at 50 celebration with the event rounding it off. Making a
50ft long Suya steak and breaking a record hence putting Lagos state as
a whole on the world map isn’t a bad way to launch the event of this
magnitude.
