Our culture is our heritage. Our Tradition keep us rooted. In Many of the things done Today, it can only be trace back to the origin and it's all falls back to the culture and Tradition of the person. In some situations people don't ask where are from? Just with your display and other likely behavior they will ask you directly, are you from this tribe, are you from this part or culture? Is this not your tradition?. Often people get these questions and you see them just accepting to what they said or asked without answering it. Yes!! I don't know if you really understood what I just said now!! When someone ask about your tradition or culture, they don't ask you to reply them rather they are asking you to tell you. That's one thing our tradition and culture does. In my country today, it is very easy to identify an Hausa or northern ladies, even without them saying something.... Just their pattern of dressing which is their culture, you have already know where she is from, the tribe and the culture she represent..
The culture of every Tribe is their Pride. Many things are what gives us joy and make us exceptional among others and that's our culture and tradition. My way of doing things is my Culture, that's someone can possibly say that,we don't have same way of doing things, simply means we don't have the same culture... Honestly speaking, I have been opportune to hear people speak about culture and I realized that these people think culture and tradition is all about the ritual involved in it, forgetting that the way they greet people and respond, the way dey address things, infact, everything about their way of life is the culture itself... So my question will always be, why do you feel bad or persent like it is weirdo when you hear people mention about culture and tradition.
_*_Just like a Nigerian Native artist "Bright Chimezie" Said in the song tilted Because of English He was explaining how his teacher disciplined him because of he didn't speak the white Man language which is English. Meanwhile, he end up ignoring his culture and promoting other persons culture and after our different classes will teach us about, Culture and Tradition.. However, in the next post, there I will talk about the pure difference between Culture and Tradition, because there's a clear difference between the two.*
