WARNING: GRAPHIC
A recent festival in southern Nigeria has sparked outrage after multiple videos surfaced online showing women being chased through the streets, stripped and sexually assaulted by groups of men in broad daylight.
The footage, recorded during the annual Alue-Do fertility festival in Ozoro, Delta State, has prompted a police investigation and resulted in several arrests, with authorities confirming that multiple suspects were in custody.
The videos have sparked global outcry, with many online describing the event as a “rape festival,” a term that highlights the scale and brutality of what was captured on camera.

No doubt. I think you still have to buy your own participation medal, though. Not a hundred percent sure about that.
Obviously we need to import that culture here.
Some of us just soldiered on and found the correct link.
The timeline seems wrong. When did Islam conquer Nigeria?
The article used the word “ancient” to describe the festival. The muslim takeover was 19th C. That’s not ancient, except to journalists and Democrats, so either of us could be right. There is no religion except Judeo Christianity where the rape subjugation or sexual enslavement of women is business as usual.

It’s hard to find out how old this festival is, but Ozoro and Delta State are in the South and largely Christian, with some pagan believers and beliefs.
I guess the pathetic morons “living” in Africa aren’t civilized after all. Who knew??? What a shock, no?
In Europe, the Slavs and Finns had fertility rituals that involved women bathing in rivers at certain times. That subsequently evolved into young men soaking young women with water in public,
In Poland, it’s called Śmigus-Dyngus Day.
Thanks for the input.
Even we conservatives fall prey to the old temptation: “to a hammer, everything looks like a nail.”
UPDATE: Based on the available information, the Obama administration did not create or finance a separate “black ICC” (International Criminal Court) for Africans.
However, the Obama administration did provide significant diplomatic and logistical support to the existing International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, particularly for its investigations in Africa, leading to criticisms from some African leaders and activists.
While the US is not a member of the ICC, the Obama administration actively cooperated with it, reversing the previous Bush-era policy of active hostility toward the court. The Obama administration provided support for ICC investigations in African nations, including providing logistical help to track down Lord’s Resistance Army leaders in Uganda.
Targeting African Leaders: By 2011, nine of the first ten ICC investigations were in Africa, which led to complaints from some African leaders that the court was targeting the continent. Critics sometimes referred to the ICC as a tool for prosecuting Africans.
The Obama administration expanded the Rewards for Justice program to include ICC indictees. US law (the American Service-members’ Protection Act) prohibits direct material support to the ICC, but the Obama administration bypassed this by providing “diplomatic and informational support” on a case-by-case basis.
The claims in some activist circles that the ICC was acting as an “International Caucasian Court” in Africa arose because the court’s investigations were focused on African leaders while western powers often escaped scrutiny during this period.
