I like how they maintain their culture.... but if it is Africa.. they would have tagged it as ancestral bondage

It is actually ancestral bondage and will become obsolete when majority get to the age of enlightenment. Or don't you ever ask yourself why a human being like you will claim to be king over you and his children and children after will rule over you till eternity. Go and read thomas paine, Common Sense and The Rights of Man.

Kanade21:


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.

Nigerians always think everywhere is paradise compared to their country. You forgot to add their demographic crisis and the 100,000 Japanese that voluntarily just vanish from society yearly never to be seen again known as the johatsu , I don't envy them.

See men dem
Africa is cursed

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?

You've been independent for 59 years. Why haven't you revived these kingdoms, abandoned these foreign religions and lifestyles? Why are you here speaking in a foreign tongue with a device that was developed in foreign lands? Doesn't that make you a hypocrite?

Dear ladies, see how real queens dress

Oni of ife for go....He promotes our Yoruba culture well coupled with his education and enlightenment.

Lol who else saw Naruto instead of naruhito

Rented crowd

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

You didn't really understand who you quoted. He was in support of Africa retaining their culture

Britain's Prince Charles chatting with Denmark's Crown Princess Mary and Crown Prince Frederik while attending the enthronement ceremony where Japan's Emperor Naruhito officially proclaims his ascension to the Chrysanthemum Throne.

They didn't invite Suntai of Sokoto or Oni Of Ife

Why is the Oba of Benin not in Japan?

Oh sorry, I remember, he doesn't live his throne

No African monarch? At least the King of Morocco should have been invited if they can't Invite the Ooni or the Sultan.

Japan, a mixture of both traditional and modern ways of life. Highly developed yet they still cling to their traditional ways. Highly respectable people and very neat. Their level of discipline is out of this world.

Wanted to say same... but wailers will come for my head....

Hmmm

For those of you wondering, African leaders from Congo, Rwanda and Lesotho were in attendance.

No Nigerian representation, however.

13 royal bloodlines...

Explorers:
U. S. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao arrives at the Imperial Palace to attend the proclamation ceremony.

Netherland's King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima arrive at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo.

China's Vice President Wang Qishan arrives at the Imperial Palace to attend the proclamation ceremony of Emperor Naruhito.

Vatican's Cardinal Francesco Monterisi arrives at the Imperial Palace.

Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen and his wife Doris Schmidauer arrive at the Imperial Palace.

India's President Ram Nath Kovind and wife Savita represent their country among dignitaries from 180 nations

I was waiting to see where you'd show us the Alaafin of Oyo, the Ooni of Ife, and the Oba of Benin arriving the event

Congratulations to the new emperor!

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.

Not kamikaze. Read Wikipedia entry on the Second World War II and all the intrigues that panned out in the Japanese Imperial palace and also how even when their govt surrendered, à group of die-hard soldiers refused to surrender until more than 30 years after.

the art of Bushido... the japanese will comit suicide rather than accept defeat... their courage is out of this world... even with after seeing the effect on jiroshoma and nagagashi.. Japan still didnt want to surrender... those people ehnnn... dem get levels

Modesty is very classy. I don't see any unnecessary display of private parts.

It's the Japanese you're talking about oooo

The creators of hentai, tentacle porn, Indecent videos, bukake, casual attitudes about sex with minors

Don't even go there..

I don't think anyone can understand the Japanese

They do all this, then they are mandated to blank out Instruments in porn vids

Crazy people

....Like someone said up there, kings of Nations are present here, not king of town.

Benin city is the capital of Benin Kingdom. Benin Kingdom is a precolonial country. The Oba of Benin ruled over the entire Kingdom, not just his capital.

We have been independent for 59 yrs and Haven't revived the kingdom's and lifestyle, cause the seed of disunity, hate, self-destruction has been planted and can not be uprooted, the seed is planted in me it's planted in you am speaking in a foreign language and using a foreign device cause they took what belonged to us and built a foundation that will enslave us to them forever we are all mentally enslaved, I am a slave you are a slave simple we African have lost almost everything about our culture tradition and kingdom's just like our brothers and sisters who were taken as slaves to the Western world, they can't revive who they were cause it has been erased and destroyed
