Gone are the days when masquerades were dreaded due to the brutality they meted out to people as some of them have put on a human face in this 21st century.
The nice masquerade in question
A masquerade was pictured helping a motorcyclist deal with a problematic bike during last year's Calabar Carnival in Cross River which was well publicized.
"Only in Calabar carnival you will see masquerade running after bikers, when I was young i used to think that masquerade are spirit sent by the gods, But 21 first century masquerade as prove me wrong" a social media user said.
Last year, a masquerade was pictured actively engaged in sports betting.
