Once you have dred locks, put on earings and have tattos on, even if i am seeing you for the first time, i would begin to profile you because, those are attributes associated with criminals and wanna be misfits of the society. Seeing how that part of American black hip hop society has creeped into our conservative African society leaves one bewildered. You go out in todays world, and you see young people in their putting on earings just because one musical artist has them on further means that a lot of young people have an identity crisis and are not able to define who they really are. Even todays young ladies have started on that trend, with piercing all over the mouth lips and nipples. We should do more to criticize them and shame them.

It was of recent too that i discovered men painting their nails was a thing.


Crass behaviour.

OP, everyone is influenced by culture and music shapes culture.
You will be surprised that they're pressured to fake theiir way until success comes

The Nigerian youth faces the hardest pressure to succeed just like the young people below discuss

Just observe and realise that there have always been pressures such as these.

The media has held everyone captive in some ways.

Civilization has done more harm than good to the african society......
