The condemnation, degradation and destruction of African ways of life by European missionaries and colonialists in the past, and overzealous African religious extremists of the present is still having advert negative effects on African culture. Many great African dance performances, theatricals, music, folk tales, rituals and festivals are today extinct. Also innumerable quantities of priceless artefacts has been destroyed, and are still being destroyed by ignorant religious extremists. All these notwithstanding, seeing young people like these youths from Ngwuo, digging this particular dance style of the (Waawa) Igbo of Enugu state of Nigeria gives the joyous impression that after all, all is not lost.
