Nice to know, for those of you condemning these rules, it would be nice for you to know that even the English has its own superstitious belief some of which you would be shocked. 4 Likes |

It appears to me, that traditions and taboos in Africa where designed out of ignorance, fear and illiteracy. But what baffles me is how educated people actually decide to respect and worship ignorant and illiterate traditions. You will even see a so called educated Benin indigene insulting others who dare challenge the barbaric and silly tradition. In 21 century, when other countries are getting rid of taboos that are discovered to be false, in Africa the reverse is the case. we have Obas and so called Kings that are custodians of these ancient instrument of ignorance and fear as a weapon of control and intimidation. What do we call a person who tells others not to use umbrella when it rains, and he is the only one to use umbrella ? What do you call a person who doesnt allow his wives (note 'wives') to embrace any other man, not even her own father and brother ? Is that not a mark that he is afraid that a more capable man can take his wives ? When Africa is ready to accept knowledge and shun tradition and religion, we will invent something better than foo-foo and okro soup. 8 Likes 1 Share |

If na Palace of Queen Elizabeth or Emperor of Japan now, you will see most people saying it's very good and high culture. But with the many kolomental people we have these days, anything African culture is superstition to them. Go to India and see what superstition means. Hatred for African culture will never make you oyinbo, at best it will be brainwashed oyinbo's mental slave. 10 Likes 3 Shares |
