Dignitaries were recognized, food and drinks were served. There were cultural performances by the Mbano New York organization women’s dance group as well as by the masquerade group with an introduction of the revered “Oku Ishi na ala” masquerade packaged all the way from Southeastern Nigeria in all its pomp and pageantry.
