Hmmm, Intressting topic greeting to you all my beautiful family am sure everyone is well.
Well as we all know am from Africa a continent well known for her numerous cultures, traditions, and believes. African is a continent that understand and communicate with nature from a different perspective it will wow you to know some ancient believe that has been for many years and was welcomed by our fore-fathers e.g the killing of twins, female circumcision.
As we all know civilization has taken over and most of those barbaric believe has been abolish this is because most people have been enlightened and are still getting enlightened.
Well the only traditional believe that is still practice in my community infact not just my community every where in Africa continent if I am wrong please let me know. I love seeing africa documentaries alot so am pretty sure of this. I do it unconsciously am sure you want to know hahahah infact you reading this you are also guilty of it hahahahah.
When a drink is opened I don't mean fruit juice or bear I mean whiskey first thing first before you drink you will pour a little on the ground say a little prayer to your ancestors then after the prayer you say ise this means amen. Before you start catching the trips lol
This show or this means a sign of respect to your ancestors.
well if I feel this should be abolished
To me No this is because African is almost losing her pride and her flavour in a hurry this is because of so called civilization.
Well civilization has it advantage which it had played in abolishing cruel practices in the name of culture and tradition. I think the disadvantages is it has cursed Africa is more than the benefits.
I will be discussing about the disadvantages of civilization.
- Disadvantages of civilization to Africa
This has brought an everlasting enemity among our selfs you might know why or maybe not, don't worry just grab your pop corn let me enlighten you a bit.
We all know africa to be homely I mean we are very welcoming honest respectfully people this is because it is our culture
But times has changed civilization has thought us greed, arrogance in the name of knowing your right e.g your are in a waiting room and you see an elderly person walk in and has no sit what do you do as an African young man or lady you quickly stand up and prostrate as greeting and give your sit that was how I was thought I don't know about us but today we call it civilization first the child will not even greet let alone giving his or her sit and the parent or guidian will just watch and will not correct that child. Hmmmm now in schools you dare not correct a child with cane you might go to jail for it I miss the old time where discipline was the watch word.
Before the discovery of oil in Nigeria we where doing very well especially in the north where cotton was produced our economy was very strong but as soon as oil was discovered we where introduce to another level of civilization that made everyone of us believe we are all enemies
We where first introduced to (2) religon we where also made to believe that if the next person is not in same faith with us he or she is our enemy and most be killed.
In conclusion I have missed the beautiful stories told about African her culture and tradition lets unite stop the killing we are one big family.
