Hello Steemians, Today I would like to share with you the amazing sense of the cultural day celebration at the 245 RECCE BATTALION's Model School. The event was a crowd-pleasing performance, and the different cultures were represented by several students from numerous classes, including cultures like the Igbo, Hausa, and Yoruba.

The occasion all started with the introduction and recognition of dignitaries to the high table, it all began with the introduction of the commanding officer, the commanding officer of 245 RECCE BATTALIONS was honored the bugle (carnival trumpet) a trumpet 🎺 used by the Nigerian amry whenever sometime high ranking is about to happen or calling the soldiers, giving command's and also blown every 6:00 p.m. for everyone around the headquarters to stand still until it has been blown to the end.

After the introduction of the commanding officer, other highly regarded individuals in the area were introduced. The opening prayer was then said by **" Sgt Rev (cannon) Mac Melokor, he prayed, saying that the Lord should be with us all, grant us a successful celebration, and keep us all to witness Christmas.
After that was all done, the students presented an opening dance to honor the commanding officer and other special guests for gracing the occasion with their presence. The students ( male &female) danced with joy all over their faces in their Yoruba cultural attire. They immediately greeted everyone in the Yoruba cultural way, i.e, the male lying on the floor and the female kneeling down. What a wonderful way of greeting our elders.

After that was done, all the tribes held the Nigerian national flag as every tribe chants the national anthem, the flag held by all the tribes symbolizes Nigeria's unity despite its ethnicity. We all hail our nation, and pray for peace and progress which Nigeria once had.

Immediately after the commanding officer was done with his opening speech the MC (Master of ceremony) now moved on so the breaking of the kola nuts, he now called on the commanding officer to step forward to bless to kola nuts, the commanding officer hesitated for a while and immediately called on someone on the high table who was the chief to speak language to the colanut, the person that breaked the colanut grateful long life and prosperity and degrees to celebrate life to the fullest.
After that was done the main activity which was the cultural display took place beginning with the cultural presentation proper, this all started with the nursery 1 class presented the Hausa culture, although they didn't dance well but you will just have to admire their cultural attire, the glory of the Hausa people was showcased in their dressing.

After the nursery one was done with their presentation, their elders from the nursery 2 were out to perform the outstanding Yoruba culture. I couldn't take my eyes off them because they were dressed well, just imagine our kids showcasing our unity.

After the nursery 2, which was done with an outstanding performance, the Transition class was out to display the Igala tribe. The Igale people are known for their rich heritage, love for art and music.

After that, the Christmas carol followed. When the carol was ended, the primary 2 were they to spread the rich taste of the Ijaw tribe. These are people who are good with dressing; they know how, where, and what to wear. Their dressing is outstanding; it showcases their lifestyle.

After the primary 2 where done with the Ijaw tribe presentation was done, the primary 3 class came out in their numbers to showcase the Edor monimkim culture, The Edor monimkim culture is really full of surprises the Edor community is just 30km away from their barracks where the celebration was held, they are good at crafts, farming especially cocoa, cassava, yams, and plantains.
