The Uniqueness Of Being An African Man....

Hello Steemians,

If i have another chance to come to this beautiful world again ,i'd still love to be a Black Man.

Hehehehe I know most of us might be wondering why i said so. Maybe as you continue reading i'm sure you will see reasons why i said so...

In Africa, actions speak louder than words, especially if there is a barrier between languages.

• GREETINGS: In Africa, greetings is one of the most important thing to do. Cos it's a sufficient way to make a positive first impression with anyone. Although, here in Nigeria it still depends on the tribe or the region you are from for example, we the yoruba's we always prostrate when greeting as a male & females do get on their knees to greet. Other tribes like hausa's and igbo's hardly do that.

• HOW WE SHOW RESPECT TO ELDERS: The main reasons why elders are well respected is because of the culture values is based on of past and present. In everything we do we always acknowledge elders and always give them their space in everything we doing. Showing respect to elders mainly pave ways for one to be successful in life for those who believe in it though heheheh...
  Showing respect is in different ways like greeting them first, by letting the ask questions, when it's meal time elders are always served first etc...

• GOOD WAYS OF DRESSING (MODEST): This is one of the most common thing here in Africa, Nigeria to be precise. Dressing is very important because it will speak for you & it will signify the background you are from. So as they said the way you are dress is the way you will be address. In my own tribe or background (Yoruba) we best known to wear AGBADA don't know what is called in English hehehe, but the picture will be displayed below. In Africa we always modest.

• COMMUNICATION: Positive communication is a key African cultural value. Regardless of what the situation is we don't immediately get into discussion of hardship or terrible things when happens. It is rather communicated positively by saying some good things before the man topic can be gradually brought forth.
  Another important thing is the parental communication, here is always important cos that is what the child will live and mostly based his or her life on when growing up.

• FLEXIBILITY:Here in Africa, we always learn to be flexible. Closely relating to how future-time is of less importance, schedules aren’t always at the forefront of lifestyle. If a plan gets shut down or changes drastically, there’s not always something you can do besides accept it and continue with a positive attitude cos we Africans hardly get disappointed hehehehe......

Let me just chip this one in in Africa we hardly talk during meal. Simple talk is permissible but much talk can be discussed shortly or immediately after meal. Most importantly we eat with our right hand.

CONCLUSION:

Thanks for always reading through!
