Comedian I Go Save Speaks Out Against Nigerians Who Celebrate Halloween

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.

I Go Save wrote:

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