Good evening everyone, please I really need your help.

Can anyone please tell me something about the Urobhos, Isokos, Itsekiri and maybe the whole of the Niger Delta region.

Why the Men use fans and walking sticks when dancing. I know it's part of the cultural heritage. But what do they signify.. ?

I would appreciate clues or answers please..

Thank you.

To please their Fulani masters

They simply copied colonialist and later the Elites who mingled with colonialist

That's why you see them on long European style Hats and caps, walking stick

Before copying the Europeans most Niger Delta men simply tied wrapper with their beads

Senibo,warisenibo,owhor holders,olorogun...all chiefs in niger delta.they all uses walking sticks.
