What might come as a surprise to many is the fact that Nigeria is one of the world’s producers of Coffee. The trick lies in the painful realization that Coffee farmers in Nigeria have not yet harnessed the numerous potential benefits that comes with the production of the crop.
It is against this backdrop that the Lagos coffee festival 2019 is set. The festival aims to promote Coffee, culture, and art in Nigeria, to bring people from different countries. With Brazilian Consulate in partnership, the festival holds in the Lagos Consulate of the Embassy of Brazil in Victoria Island, Lagos.
The coffee festival shows the richness in Nigerian culture with artifacts from the Ooni of Ile Ife palace, paintings from Nigerian artists, Nigeria culture inscribed mugs, bags and book exhibition.
The host of the event; the General Consulate of Brazil said that they are hosting part of the coffee festival because Brazilians are crazy about Coffee and arts, and part of the toppings for the coffee festival are the artifacts from the Ooni of Ife’s palace ” The Yoruba Museum” which is a mobile museum and will later go to Brazil and other countries of the world.
