American singer, songwriter, dancer and actress Ciara Princess Wilson has arrived in Nigeria and embarked on a cultural tour to celebrate Lagos’ growing global influence in tourism, art, and fashion.

Upon arrival, Ciara was received by Lagos State officials, including the Commissioner for Tourism, who emphasised that her visit was part of a collaboration between the state government and creative stakeholders. She has since toured multiple cultural landmarks, including a stop at the Nike Centre for Arts and Culture. Ciara was seen wearing Adire, a traditional Nigerian indigo-dyed textile, as part of her effort to connect with the local culture. She praised Lagos’ infrastructural development, urban planning, and cultural vibrancy, calling it a city on the rise. This visit is not Ciara’s first trip to Lagos. In February 2016, she headlined the popular “Love Like A Movie 3” concert at the Eko Convention Centre in Victoria Island. “I’m happy to be here. I’m really excited,” she said. “I know about Lagos. Lagos, from what I see, I’ve seen an evolution of Lagos. When I used to land, I used to see all the dirt roads; now what I see is pavement.”

The Lesson it Holds
What is the lesson we have to learn from these visits to Nigeria? I will summarize it in a few sentence. This visits of Ciara to Nigeria means that if Nigeria and Africa is smooth the Black Americans would speedily return back to Africa. But it is not a reality that Africa is ready for. I really do not blame the Black Americans who have distanced themselves from Africa.

Before I began my journey into Spiritual Awakening and Spirituality; I was a former baptized, zealous and dedicated Jehovah’s Witness. Somewhere deep down in my heart and subconscious mind I had this inner-knowing and feeling that religion is NOT the answer. At least I have the understanding that there is more than meet the eyes…it was not easy to leave a religion that claims to be better than every other ones; but with my determination to embrace my Higher Self, my Magical Divine Self—I summoned up courage and left Jehovah’s Witness in 2013. I could not have made a better choice! The effort and determination was worth it. You can read more about my journey of how I left religion and Jehovah’s Witness.
