I am well aware of our African culture and tradition, thank you very much. I once posted an expose on the famous mapouka dance and how much more sexually liberated our African women were than their white counterparts before colonialization decimated our way of life.

The truth of the matter is, that is not our mentality anymore. The sake white folk are the ones that made us realise that walking around in our palm leaves and near unclothedness was shameful. No one will do that now and be seen as a normal han being. Our parents would tell us that young men and women of marriagable age would bath together in the same stream and no one saw anything wrong in it. There were no massive rapes or molestations then either. Our morality was intact. However when the westerners came they convinced us that such things were shameful and with time we believed them. Things changed. Morality was knittes together with decency and religion. Now all of a sudden our girls are flaunting their cameltoes and all we can say is we did it before?? It was in our culture? I should accept everything western cos i'm using an ipad? What kind of warped thinking is that? Indecency is indecency!

Well. I'm just stating my opinion sha. Maybe I'm too old fashioned in my thinking but God help me I intend to raise my daughter to know the difference between being liberated and exhibiting her privates in the name of modernization.

You're confused and you're confusing you self even more. You're not old fashioned in your thinking rather you're very conservative, and that doesn't give you the right to dictate how people should dress.

A well thought out piece. If you want any evidence on how p0rnography has eaten deep into the minds of our people, try written an eye-opening article on why people should avoid it. You'd be lost in surprise at just how deep this has gotten from the replies you get from gullible folks. You'll be branded so-18th century, they will tell you what they read online from immorality promoters about how p0rn is so healthy and changing families for good. In everything, I think a discerning mind is what we all should seek n pray for.

Poor West. We've definitely placed them at par with the devil undecided


I don't see how anybody should be blamed for the abject lack of morality in a person. Laws and constitutions have been put in place (both by the state and religion). If anyone chooses to live as they please, then by all means please blame them. We can't blame other people for our own failure all the time, it's an African mentality that needs to stop.

So I'm sitting at the lounge of a well known park and heading to Lagos. Its 6.30am in the morning and I'm thinking I should have been here earlier. I'm patiently waiting to get my ticket when this 'lady' pushes thru to the front. I glance at what she is wearing and I mentally gawk in amazement.

Its a gym workout suit. You know, the kind new-yorkers wear, extremely fitted and very tough but light fabric that leaves absolutely nothing to the imagination. Absolutely nothing. Her buttcrack is very visible and her gluteus is covered in celulite as evidenced by the subtle bumps on her posterior. The front...OK I tried really hard not to look but curiosity got the better of me and yep; the cameltoe was on easy display for all to see. The top was better off, or maybe because I'm used to seeing skimpy tops I don't really know.


Funny enough, what comes to my mind isn't that the woman is loose or how can she stomach all the stares she is receiving, or how she can't possibly know this is a gym suit and not meant for travelling. What comes to my mind is that the Westerners are spoiling us rotten. They are corrupting our minds and debasing our way of life so much that we don't even know when we are making fools of ourselves. How can a woman walk out of her house this Unclad this early in the morning with the mind that she is going to Lagos? What is wrong with her thinking faculty?

If it was in the past an elder would have gone to correct her or shame would not have allowed her expose her unclothedness like this; but now if a person approaches her the person will be told to mind his own business, its a free world, wetin your eye find go there, its her body let her do with it as she likes, it is the inward appearance that matters, the person should stop living in the 19th century, his mind is dirty, etc, the list of excuses to correct wrong when we see it is endless.

We as a people are gradually losing our identity and morality. Soon we will have serialrapists aand killers, soon we will have increased incidences of teenage suicide and morbid obesity. Porn0graphy is already fully embedded in the activities of our youths. All these things that were previously alien to our culture. As if the horrors we have are not enough.

And yet we still support the white man's values and way of life. We shout down those who try to speak up, citing their successful economy as a pass to emulate them no matter what they are doing. We are destroying ourselves with our own hands and are happy to do so.

This lady has passed by for the fifth time and almost all the passengers are looking at her. One or two guys are grinning but most of the other guys have frowns on their faces and a few women have gathered the courage to hiss but she obviously doesn't care. After all, she has been taught to ignore haters.

Haters gon' hate.

Sigh.
Signing off jo.

Does being wrapped from head to toe in an oversized tent provide 100% protection to women, from being rr.aped, so.do.mi.zed, or even getting killed?

The amount of clothes you wear won't protect you from a rapist or murderer, however that's not even the purpose of wearing hijab (and not an oversized tent)

If people can accept or defend women's right to wear almost nothing they shouldn't try to limit women's right to cover.. some like to show what they got and others like to keep it hidden from the public..

what is mapouka dance?



colonisation & christianity had africans convinced that half-nüdity is immoral. as years rolled by, even the western folks are abandoning christianity & are sticking to their fundamental human rights.

to be fair to our women, the climate in africa does not favour full-clothing. visit anywhere remotely close to the tropical climate we have in africa & every chic is bikini-clad. how then are our ladies immoral? what is even immoral? if you see a woman in bikini by the pool-side or lekki beach, would you say she's immoral?

why is it any different if you see her dressed like that on the street? if you can control yourself on the beach, where's that same self-control on the street? really, everyone needs to change their orientation.



maybe you are living in the wrong century.
Re: How The West Corrodes Our Morality by lezz(m): 12:34pm On Oct 26, 2014
Why am i not surprised!! Every evil in this end time era has a logical excuse.

Ok, we were unclad when the west came in the 17th and 18th centuries. They brought us clothes and taught us to be covered in the streets and in public. It has been the norm since over 100 years. For my grandmother and grandfather were well covered as i can remeber.

Beginning from the early 80's a new kind of nudity started creeping in in the form of tights, leggings ,but worn with a top that extended to the knees. No one dared put on leggins with a top hanging on the wasit line or revealing the belly button. This wasn't african, it was western. Western movies and dressings were beginning to become mainstream in africa at that time with the rise of cenima.

Fast-forward to today and it is a cleavage war, butt divider competition, cameltoe display. The mystery of women is completely lost.

Nothing our primitive mothers wore reveal there butt-dividers, or the exact nature and shape of their most feminine organ. Neither did when they walked their whole butts shaked and moved in the rhythm of their steps.

Today's females copy the west and have even outdone them in the madness of modernity. Yes dressing in leggings and skimpy tops is 100% western and most women who wear this are completely naked because there's nothing lost to sight except their skin colour.

Today's women with their knowledge and intelligence lack the wisdom our primitive mothers had in abundance. That is the wisdom of how the testosterone male function.

He functions more by sight....so when the op was drawing a line between rapists and indecent dressing, he actually has a point. It's same way women react to words more than men, so even a low courtesan still blushes when you tell her she has the most beautiful eyes in the whole of the joint.
Western Culture is crappy crap, only a fool will think otherwise. Copy their technology and leave the culture alone. That's what China did, and other asian economies. We want to take everything, hoke, line and all.


They bought christianity to us and now they are telling us to accept homosexuality in our churches, and that the bible is one big joke.

So what are we waiting for? After all Christianity isn't african. Lousy puppet of african slave minds. Think for youtselves.

A woman decides to dress up and its somehow the fault of the " west" the same west that gave you phone and internet to type this epistle.

If only Africans will put their house in order instead of thinking se- x how to born and oppress others we will be too busy achieving things instead of turning out half baked theories on how bad the west is. Common malaria vaccine we cant develop we will be importing champagne, range rovers and all the latest cars from stolen money and still find a way to blame the west for our stupidity.

Please get your priorities right put your house in order and stop looking for scape goats as usual.

When do we take responsibility for our actions? Why must we always find someone or something to blame?
Please drop your western invented car and drive keke napep at least that is assembled in nigeria even though the parts are not made here.

What phones have we developed in africa again Please go and get that and use.

Shameless race we are. We will defend all sort of backwardness then still look for those developing their world and even sharing some of that development to abuse.

If not for Bill Gates an athiest for that matter Nigerians and Africans will be dropping dead from HIV TB and Malaria, the counterpart funding we are suppose to provide to substatiate what they give only 15 percent na war. Still some wicked Nigerians will go and be chopping the money donated by these same westerners and even be using it to pay " tithe".

Go and get busy invent something and leave the west alone. If you hate development abandon all these oyibo gadget, clean water and go live in a cage make we hear
You deserve the GCFR for this submission. I am sick and tired of the backward civilisations of this planet always blaming an imaginary west for their failures. The Arab man is hungry and he blames the west; the Asian can not make love to his wife at night and he blames the west; the worst is the black man who joyfully worships the whiteman's god but still turns around to blame the west for the failure of governance in his country!
