For tourists or indigenes used to Nigeria you would notice that Halloween isn't much celebrated in our country

If you want to let people understand how Halloween is in Nigeria, we saw it in movies and games and know that Whites are celebrating it. We know how it is done but we do not celebrate it at all in Nigeria. Not that it is not much celebrated but it is not our culture and we do not celebrate it at all.

Alright bitcoiners!!! Everyone is quite happy to participate in this year's pumpkin carving contest. However it seems my local board is left out. You may be wondering why and thats. Because of this rule from the official thread of the contest.

As bitcoiners and contributors to the community here it would be very nice for us to be able to participate properly in the contest if the rule allowed for an alternative like WATERMELON which is as common as pumpkin in Nigeria here.

I have not seen a yellow watermelon before in Nigeria. I have only seen deep and light green water melon before. Many Pumpkins in Nigeria have the same shape as the Halloween pumpkin except that they are light green in colour and not yellow. Their shell may be hard but knife can be used to cut it as usual.

You can get the yellow pumpkin from food store in big cities in Nigeria.

I do not see this as an excuse to use water melon even if there is no pumpkin grown in Nigeria. Understand me that I do not mean that pumpkin is not grown in Nigeria.
