A welcome development! Applause. We should all try and promote our cultures. The world needs to understand Nigeria from Nigerians themselves instead of leaving it to non-Nigerians to tell us who we are, and what we're about! While we're waiting for similar productions from our brothers - Igbos, Hausas, Kanuris, Ibibio, Nupe, Efik, Ijaw, etc., - perhaps it might be helpful for us to talk about some of the unique cultures that identify us in this thread. I'm aware that soe threads have already been created precisely for Ibo discussions; but perhaps we could read more here from our eastern brothers to make others understand them better. Afterall, na Bible talk say, wise men came from the east! As for the Hausas of the 'north', I get word for una sef. But for now, let's all talk about our unique cultures. Nigeria, for me, is a GREAT country with a wealth of great things! |

Thanks for the documentary we need more of this. By the way what is the ministry of tourism and culture doing? instead of promoting our native cultures and subsidizing our ethnic (local) musicians, they are busy embezzling money. If i were the minister, i would make sure that it must be necessary for you to pass two Nigerian language courses in order to get into college. Also, since Nigeria has 250 ethnic groups, i would make sure that each state or each LGA or zone in that state should enforce the teaching of the dominant language in primary and secondary schools of that region so that our ancient cultures don't go extinct (e.g teaching Nupe and Igbira in Kwara state and Kogi State). Also, i would promote (through the media) emphasis on our native culture and put a quota on pirated movies (most of them western movies), and ban second hand clothes from the western world this would help the local textile industry in producing more native clothes. Also, i would ban or limit foreign music on the airwaves. It would also help if we do an American Idol kind of competition for the best native band, this would definitely encourage our local artistes. |
