pickabeau1: I think he is right. Every culture is great but the diff. only comes from the attitude of its 'followers' |

pickabeau1:Ofcourse, they are all equal. All any culture needs is to be valued by its people. Simple |

Zedric: If all cultures are equal n great Then if u adopt any culture other than what I was born with.. It shouldn't be an issue |

pickabeau1:All cultures are basically great. What differentiates the cultures is the attitudes of its people. If the people believe in it, they can make it greater. Conversely, if the people neglect, it is gradually neglected to the background. And thats where the problem arises, neglecting your ancestors legacy to hype another man' culture. Would you allow your son drop your surname for another man' surname cos he feels urs is "uncool"? 2 Likes |

pickabeau1:The 1st step u have to take to understand this is to get rid of the sterotype u have about some cultures being greater than others. Do u think if the Egyptians had treated their culture the way we treat ours, it ll be has celebrated has it is now. Maybe i was wrong about how i put it, i think it will be better to say "ALL CULTURES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE GREAT" 2 Likes |

kingston277:If I need to do any research, I would rather do that from the source which is where the culture sprang from- NIGERIA and not from some yoruba wannabes who obviously play 'nollywood' and don't practice every thing the real yoruba's do here. As someone living in a civilized country, learn how to respect people's opinions on matters especially those that don't concern you. keep your link to yourself because you obviously need it more. Don't ever quote me on any other thread like you just did!!! If you need to prove more baseless points, relocate to any african country and live there for a good number of years, then you'll earn the right to make any suggestions or recommendation. |

pickabeau1: Not sure i know much about himExactly! the chinese for example still value their culture and language even though they've embraced immense development that depicts a reasonable level of western influence. They wear suits when attending international conferences but that changes nothing. Even western countries have a high regard for them,their culture ,crafts and medicines. The world has become a global village so there is an exchange of cultures. It is inevitable! I don't just understand the message this canadian wanabe is trying to pass across-ridiculous! |

That's not what Kingston is saying. He is asking why have Africans gone backwards? They used to build buildings of greatness and today they have regressed instead of progressed. Why he is asking? Our ancestors he says were far greater in their accomplishments. That is the point of his argument. 2 Likes |

Maybe you don't like reading links that directly answer your questions, but others reading this thread need the information to help make their personal, educated decisions. So I will keep posting regardless. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adefunmi As someone living in a civilized country, learn how to respect people's opinions on matters especially those that don't concern you. keep your link to yourself because you obviously need it more. Don't ever quote me on any other thread like you just did!!! If you need to prove more baseless points, relocate to any african country and live there for a good number of years, then you'll earn the right to make any suggestions or recommendation.I have traveled enough thank you very much. And if you think the situation in the Caribbean is different than in Africa, then you seriously need a wake-up call because shouldn't be talking down on your fellow African descendants. The imf/cia are on our governments backs too and were responsible for the downfall of the Haitian power, so I really don't appreciate your condescending tone. Plus it doesn't help your cause or ours by portraying your continent as a charity-case the way you've been going on, we all have the power to improve. 1 Like |

Thats like saying the Greeks adopted Sumerian culture because the wheel came from Sumer. I will simply ignore the rest of your baseless comments but would like to seek evidence of this "reasonable" level of western influence the Chinese allegedly possess. I noticed you skipped over Saudi Arabia too because you're well aware everything they do is Arab. |
