What did African Celebs Wear For Halloween? See Lynxxx, Praiz, Moet Abebe,Iyanya, Toolz, Eldee, Ice Prince, PSquare & More

A lot of people in Nigeria feel that there is no need to imbibe the Western culture of Halloween as it is not a part of our tradition, but in recent years more and more people have started to get into the spirit of things.

True, you may not see kids knocking at your door and asking ‘Trick or Treat?’ and you may not see your neighbours lawn lit up with Jack’O lanterns – but you will definitely see one or two costumes, especially if you go to a party.

Check out all the costumes from the African celebs
