It was indeed a worthwhile celebration for the youths in Makurdi, Benue State, Nigeria. Marking the opening of their "2013 Benue Youth Cultural Carnival" and Celebrating "World AIDS Day" with the theme: Getting To Zero.
At about 12:00pm, the youths gathered in their colourful t-shirts and face caps of various colours with this inscription "Benue Youth Cultural Carnival " celebrating "World Aids Day" in the front, and "Getting To Zero" on the back of the shirts.

We walked from Government house--through the round about--until we reached the celebration ground (IBB Square).
At the venue a brief lecture was given by the secretary to the Benue state government (SSG) representing the Benue state governor (RT. Hon. Gabriel Suswan).
