Die by fire nah him make us no reason am

The juju does not affect them

Their pastors have brainwashed them into thinking their culture is evil.
Just take the thread where a lady allegedly converted a masquerade to Christianity as a case study.

You want to know why?

It is simply because Nigeria is home to some of the most inferior Africans that you will ever find anywhere on this bloody Earth.
Like my father would always say: they want to be more 'white' than the 'white man' himself.

We were thoroughly colonized. Why do a lot of Nigerians try to speak with a "foreign accent" for instance?

Nigerians are messed up like that.

My opinion.

You're missing the forest for the trees. When Nigeria and Africa in general has refused to develop itself why would anyone want to associate with it?

The answer is simple

We don't appreciate what we have until we loose it

Lights up my kpoli in peace

The first week of this year has produced stories with diverse themes , hopeful and thought-provoking news contents and revealing current affairs nuggets.

Few of these captivating pieces of information have made it to the front page of Africa's largest Internet forum, Nairaland. One of the trending media content that got to the front page was that of a cultural masquerade who relieved himself of his traditional duty after a convincing sermon by a young christian lady.

From twitter retweets by conservatives to Facebook timelines of Pan-Africans and even in the Nairaland thread provided immediately after this paragraph, there has been a battle of wits between citizens who believe the Nigerian culture of masquerading has outlived its importance and those who find pride in the ways of their ancestors who came before them.

The purpose of this thread is anything but an argument. This thread simply reveals, with concrete evidence, what multinationals and foreigners think about our masquerades and masks.

because we love to blindly impress

Just as technology fascinates Africans... Our culture fascinates oyinbo people o

It's vice versa. We love foreign stuffs too pass our local ones

Because person no dey dey appreciated for in hometown pass outside.

You're very shallow. I only cited an example and you chose to gush out saliva over what you lack comprehension about.

You are so smart that you make no sense here.

Nice points.
The answer will be ...... ani ohun ti Oyinbo Oni... simply means we got what white men no get.

We want what they have,they designers,jack Daniels,cars, accents ... name it

So we want what the white man got, and they want what we got.....

That’s why you go see them naked on their beach sun beds, just to get sun tan. When we go dey run for D Same Sun.

You go see black man 4 Hawai, and you go see white man in all our villages

Are you asking about the same Nigerians that don't appreciate their names and languages? The ones that name their children English, Arabic or any other white name and have children that cannot speak their mother tongue (but instead they tell you "but the children understand it, so that is okay" )? The same ones that name their estates Miami, Brooklyn, Camberwall etc?

MTN LEAD COMMERCIAL OF 2020 (The Multinational perspective)

Titled "THERE IS MORE WITHIN: TURN IT UP" , the two minutes motion picture mime which was a very important MTN commercial last year, revealed far more than any word could do, what the future of our masquerades could be.
It opens with a village boy who escorts his father , a masquerade, to events in their community. The kids, the maidens and the entire village are always thrilled by the performance of the masquerade whose role is similar to that of a Mickey Mouse Mascot in an urban children's party or a Santa Claus during Christmas.

The boy grows and his father ages along with him. Both kids and adults emigrate from the village and resident villagers gradually become bored with the masquerade parade. With time , father and son now entertain a crowd of few humans and many empty seats.

Old age takes the energy of the boy's father and the boy, without informing his father, sets out on an uncertain mission. He is seen working in his laboratory and watching videos of how space shuttles , rockets and other air vehicles are produced and launched.

On his return, the boy is the father of the man. His father who is resting outside is disturbed by the sound of a large crowd. The crowd is so large and beyond what the village has ever witnessed.
Behold, a masquerade flying with the aid of technology. The children are happy once again.

The boy takes over the masquerade business of his father, but this time he introduces innovation which makes the masquerade parade more captivating.

Stupid question...

Let the gods fight the battle.

Not just your opinion, it's fact.

Those that will jump to correct you in use of English pisses me off most but can't write in their mother's tongue well.

Sorry, those whites actually succeeded in brainwashing us and the religion keeps fueling it

spot on!!
On an international sports Facebook page, a Colombian expressed himself in a form of " broken English " but he was quite communicating, guess who started correcting the guy's tenses? a Nigerian, there were many Britons and Americans on the page, but they kept mute but a Nigerian was forming professor John Bull.

An average Nigerian educated elite has a messed up reasoning concerning English Language, they equate fluency in the language to high intellect, they even try to copy foreign accent, some overzealous ones even banned their children from communicating in their indigenous languages, it is that bad.

Until we accept that English Language is just another language and no language is superior to the other, then we will begin to appreciate our indigenous tongues.

You have a point. Everything foreign is seen as better by an average Nigerian. And everything Nigerian is automatically seen as inferior and disregarded. It's quite sad. Maybe things would be better if we had one Nigerian language...but the language that majority of Nigerians speak is the English language...England's language.

They see it as funny stuff

tutudesz:
Because Religious leaders have brainwashed Nigerians to believe they are evil, while those who invented this religions see them has beautiful.

This is true.

Because we don see am finish for here

Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria!

The same way sukuratu would rather eat Chinese than her Amala & ewudu at any fancy restaurant...I won’t say more

JoeEeL:
SIMPLE REASON : COS WE ARE SUPER DUMB

They took away your name "Oodua", "Biafra"... and gave you a new pet name called "Nigeria". And you accepted -- signifying you're owned. You're purchased. You're a commodity.

And you will see grown foools that will travel to the U.K and then start praising them and the same very oppressors that set up this demonic bondage for us.

We had our own languages and civilisation before they came. They took it away from us and installed theirs calling it "LINGUA FRANCA"

We had our own religions, they took it from us and gave us a "WHITE JESUS" and a "CONFUSED NOMADIC MOHAMMED". Meanwhile they took all our artefacts, our carvings and every bit that signified our civilisation for eons. And they display it in their evil-fested museum for the world to see.

And blacks with no iota of shame do trooop in there to "pay" to see what is ours ancestrally.

BLACKS SEEM TO BE CURSED BECAUSE THEIR BRAINS ARE ONE OF THE MOST DECREPIT THINGS YOU COULD EVER FIND ON EARTH.

blaming the white wen our black leaders are useless is absolutely absurd. We are in 21st century and we can't blame the past always. British were very brutal with the Americans and Scottish yet they are very developed with a right thinking attitude.

Because we are not yet thinking about our future and heritage. We are still under strife tyring to steal from one another.

The greatest among us only values oil money.

Africans are confused .... They are more islamic than Arabs and more christians than europeans


They don't value their products so Arabs would tell them in North that culture is bad thy take you arab names as surnames

In north they bear surnames likee Abubakar, abdul, jubril etc.... Funnyy

They would tell them culture is bad j. South the tale up european names surnames ... You can imagine bearing surnames like Wellington, Brown, Savage, Williams , Douglas etc


I respect the igbo, they don't have oyibo surnames same with middle belts

Ugandatales:


This is true.

The most funny they gave us religion and took many of our traditional artifact to their countries and they are making millions with it. One trash is another man Money.
