ROTACULTURE 2025/26
ROTARACT D9111, NIGERIA.
What's Culture?
This can be said to be the ideas, customs, and social behaviour of a particular people or society.
What's Rotaract?
This is said to have been coined out from "Rotary In Action", and this basically serves as the youth wing of Rotary international which is a world wide recognised Non governmental organisation founded mainly to serve humanity in our respective communities.
What's RotaCulture?
This is an annual event organised in the Rotary family to showcase diverse culture, irrespective of family background, religious beliefs and tradition.
The Rotaract District9111 Nigeria, held her 2025/26 rotary year RotaCulture on Saturday 31st of January at the Egbe-Idimu LCDA hall, Idimu Lagos, Nigeria.
The 4 areas attached to the Rotaract D9111 were well represented as each of the areas were given a tribe to represent in the cultural display.

As it is widely known that there are many dialects attached to the Yoruba tribe, it was unanimously agreed that the AWORI dialect, be made a point of Yoruba cultural reflection and this earned the Ogun West and Central an undisputed winning as the performances wowed the audience and the judges.
