Creepy,#CreepyTeens

Teengers are easily freaking, some of them cannot stand before a Masquerade. Although they have common social functions  in our locality, in African settings, to entertain and exite us by their characters, on their costumes, when they appear on them. Such teens are scared to their heart, how creepy they are in their appearances. He feels irritated as he experience, touch the costume. The roarings and the attack from a radical one makes him run away to hide himself.  The radical bearer of the costume seemed to charge at the female gender, to create a sense of fear in them. 

No wonder why the particular adolescent that snapped this picture barricaded himself with the wire between them as at the time he took this rear shot! He was scare of the Masquerades' followers who bear longer, thin whipes in their hands around the masquerade. Their cains would line all over his skin if they discovered he clicks a camera botton. He has taken the shot which can never be taken if he's to nvite the costume bearer's attention.

Each ethnic group in this nation has her own Masquerades' costume and their festival diaries. It is not a mishap to find an elderly and the younger person booing at his audience, charging them to appreciate his look and requesting alms and gift from them. Besides, their is the funny notion share with the teenagers and the adolescents that, Masquerade descended from the sky and are Aliens. They are labelled in the Yorubaland as Árá-ọ́rún (Alien from heaven) 

Their shrines are built all around us so, I wonder why we are still scared by their appearances. I guess that it must be their followers that flog with Cain sticks mercilessly at times, that scare the very young people. We really never need to be scare of our friends again. Yes. Our friends in our schools where we attend and on the streets where we are living, wore those costumes to showcase our traditional heritage

They never struggle to walk down to their school friends houses. I guess it is the people they knew before that, they visited to salute and request appreciation, in form of monies and other valuables, that could be offered to them.

The fear that you bear in your mind for a masquerade must be for the Cain bearers who followed the costume bearer, when they flog someone who dares their costume and come too close to the bearer, for any unexpected action against it. 

The more you, the teenager and adolescent run far away from a masquerade, the same moment the costume bearer follow suit, to create a panic on you, until you shall shout for help or run further for your escape. 

Are you still going to be scared of your friend after reading this story?
