As the the title implies, Bridal Train is a tradition of escort of a newly married woman to the groom's house. It is an occasion practiced in most southern culture in Nigeria. The picture is circular with figures of the bride, family and well wishers singing and making choruses prepared specially for such occasion. Amidst fanfare, drumming and songs, the bride is given a resounding farewell to remember. Some of the songs are some sort of advice to the Bride, reminding her not to bring shame to the family she is coming from. (Please edit out any unnecessary area.
