I Go Save’s Take on Nigerians Celebrating Halloween vs. Traditional Worship
Comedian I Go Save recently voiced his criticism of Nigerians who celebrate Halloween while looking down on traditional African spirituality and customs.
In a social media post, he pointed out the irony of embracing foreign traditions like Halloween, which has roots in Western culture and pagan practices, while showing disdain or disrespect for indigenous religions and ancestral worship.
I Go Save’s comments sparked conversation on social media, with many Nigerians reflecting on the double standard he highlighted.
Some agreed with his view, seeing it as a call to appreciate and respect African heritage, while others argued that Halloween celebrations in Nigeria are mainly for fun and entertainment, without any deep cultural or spiritual ties.
His statement touches on broader issues of cultural identity and the sometimes conflicted relationship between modernity and tradition in Nigeria.
