Cinco de Mayo

Not a Nigerian holiday, but increasingly celebrated in the Nigerian diaspora (especially in the United States) as a day of cultural exchange. The Nigerian version of Cinco de Mayo features jollof rice tacos, suya burritos, and Afrobeats music, and it is a reminder that Nigerian culture is global, adaptable, and unstoppable.
