The day we were asked to represent the Gbagyi culture was one of the most fascinating experiences I’ve had in school as a student of film and multimedia studies . At first, little did I know about the Gbagyi people, but as we began preparing for the presentation, I started learning their way of life, dressing, food, dance, and behaviour, I got to learn the men dress with wrapper tied on their waist and painting of black and white over their bodies. The females pound yam on the chest of the men to determine who is the strongest of all .

After learning the culture, we dressed up in Gbagyi traditional attire. I wore a white shirt and a wrapper with beautiful patterns and carried a native pot. This made me feel connected to the culture I was representing. When it was Gbagyi's turn to present, I felt a little nervous, because all eyes were on us the presenters, but subsequently I felt relieved and excited at the prospect that my faculty was watching me present a culture.

The narrator "Peterson Justice" who was not from the gbagyi tribe but from Edoma began by talking about the Gbagyi people, the way they respect elders, how peaceful and hardworking they are, and their style of dressing. He further explained that the gbagyi people respect their heads and that's the reason they don't carry loads on it but carry them on their shoulders. After that, we danced to their traditional music, and this was the peak of my experience because I danced "imagine an Igbo girl dancing to a gbagyi culture song" At first, I was shy, but once I joined in, I had so much fun. The beat of the song and the movement of the dance made me feel alive and proud to represent the gbagyi tribe, our slogan for that day was ..... GBAGYI TO THE WORLD.

After dancing, we shared some traditional Gbagyi food. It was my first time seeing how their food looks, and it looks very appetizing, it tasted more pleasant than it looks. .I took beautiful pictures with my friends and we all looked astonishing in our cultural attire. My name was changed from Covenant to "Shekwogamilo" which means (God gave me) 
What I loved most about the experience was how it brought all of us from  different tribes and languages together.
Even though we were only presenting, I felt like I was really part of the Gbagyi community for a while.
This presentation didn’t just teach me about the Gbagyi people it also helped me appreciate the beauty of Nigerian culture as a whole. I’m happy I was part of it, and I will always have a life time flashback to the feeling of representing the Gbagyi tribe.

God bless Nigeria. One we are
