Nice one

How the Japanese packaged themselves as the coolest thing since ice cream will always marvel me.

There's a reason why the nobility was abolished by the proleteriate, let's not forget it.

If it was Nigerians, Nigerians would call it devil worship

So no Oba, Obi or emir, from Nigeria was invited? This one strong ooooo. Upon all their shakara, na 4th class world chief them be.

Tight security

Technology doesn't affect their tradition

Must you bring down your african tradition?, you dont appreciate the enthronement of the oba of benin or the ooni of ife, but you are drooling over Japanese cos of the elaborate elaborateness. Are you aware that the benin empire and dynasty is one of the top 5 most recognised royals in the world?. Appreciate your own for once. The only difference between them is the fact that one is western and the other is african

is bini an empire? Or Japan part of western world? Bloody uneducated Ipob pig or afonja slave

There is no king of Nigeria so of course they wouldn't be invited. The one's you saw represented nations not towns.

Always a pleasant surprise to read an intelligent comment on this forum.

there's a didactic lesson to this. A once powerful position, have become a nominal title because of world war misadventure.


Always exercise belligerence with tact and sense.

Blaming the west frees you from actually taking any responsibility or action to better your environment or improve yourself and the people around you. Which is why people like you embrace that crappy narrative. As you have gained this "knowledge", what have you done with it? How has it inspired you?

How this country Japan still maintain there tradition and technological advancement without interference of the west
still marvels me.
I like the way they still extend their arms of fellowship to there fellow Eastern block countries
Every other person from the Western world look so weird...

This is where Africa missed it.

Almost all of Asia kept to their culture, languages, foods, traditional ethics etc during the corrosive period of European colonization. This is now an advantage to them in the modern age as they hardly experience a crisis of identity such as has crippled Africa and reduced her to the ankle and foot of the world.

In Asia, their brightest minds learn Quantum Physics in Arabic, in Mandarin, Malay, Vietnamese, Bahasa, Nepalese etc. while in Africa, the policy makers and the people feel it is demeaning and counterproductive to even teach kids nursery rhymes in Hausa, Kikuyu or Tshona!

At some point, Africa will have to go back to 1900 and restart our journey to catch up with the developed world.

You better thank God you are a Nigerian, because being a Japanese is hard...very hard.

Where to start...work culture. As an adult, once you graduate, na to work for your company from 7am to 10 pm, sometimes later. Monday to Saturday. And nowadays, since their economy collapsed in the 1990's....the pay is not good. You may at best live in a small flat.

Even as a child, you will work. As a secondary school student for example...you would go to school normally, then you go to what they call 'cram school'...ie lesson. And no, over there cram school is for the serious minded student...lazy students go and do menial jobs once they finish JS3. If you want to enter a good university (like say University of Tokyo, for example...which is like our own University of Ibadan)....you better start prep as a ten year old.

Infact, you will be so busy that if you are the kind of dad who wants to take care of his children, you would be so busy that maybe you would see your children once a week. Oh, and if your wife divorces you, custody in MOST instances goes to HER. So, you may never see your children again.

Social life? A large percentage of Japanese men and women are still virgins by 40...because...you know...work.

And Japan is a very very conformist society. Even more so than Nigeria. You cannot up and go doing your thing. You must conform to the group..and woe betide you if you do not conform.

Life in Japan is not pleasant....and I say this as someone who admires Japanese culture. Infact.,,,as a black man, they are very racist towards us. Even white people. You know that time when that Chinese restutrant had a 'no blacks day'?? In Kenya. ?....In Japan, there are establishments that do not allow foreigners in at all.

If you are a girl...when you graduate, and get a job...many times, you are a glorified secretary (though this is changing). Then when you get married, the pressure is on you to leave your job and raise your husband's children. One benefit...in Japan it is the wife who manages the home money. Hubby comes home with salary, gives it to wife...wife gives an allowance. But if you are a woman and you want to keep working (except in some fields like educaiton and health)...good luck.

Better thank God you are a Nigerian...or if you want to go elsewhere....try the USA. At least they are much better.

Daviddson:
The level of order in Japanese culture is mind-blowing. It's a country I'll like to visit every year in the near future.

I don't like monarchy, but because of my love for Japanese people, culture of bravery, orderliness, and military intelligence, theirs is an exemption.

By bravery do you mean, suicide? Kamikaze style? Hardly can that be considered a good thing.

Where is alafin of oyo? Afobaje 1.

Truth about all of the complaints about Japanese life. It is so bad that policy makers in that country have began to worry about the future as working age people are no longer getting married nor having children.

Mafia fashion.

Who is talking about environment or improving one's self and others here? Am talking about our culture traditions, and ethic kingdom's which we were forced and deceived to abandon for a foreign religion and lifestyle, while they the British who destroyed our own kingdom's preserved their own do you know how many traditions culture kingdom's tribes and languages that have been lost in Nigeria or Africa at large?
