To me, if at this stage of our lives and with the level of knowledge and experience you must have acquired in life, you still even think it talkmore of argue it that our African culture is better than the western culture then that person is not exposed or has acquired the attributes of ignorance which is the problem of our elderly ones in Nigeria. Ignorance is the disease plaguing the elderly Nigerians, it has made them rigid rather than flexible up to the extent that when they even see something that is good, they still stick to the one that is causing problems for them. If as a youth and you are still hyping your African culture ahead of the western culture, then that is a big problem for you because the difference is very clear.

@Francis: Nice and lovely contribution there Francis I strongly believe in our culture and it's value but the truth is that there are lots and lots of things that we need to let go in out culture that serve as barrier to our civilisation, growth and economical development.

To me western culture is way ahead of our African culture by miles and I don't think it is something that can be argued. There are many things that our beloved African culture here supports that I feel it is not supposed to be so.

@nagiano: Okay, I can understand your frustration...living in a country which is supposedly a giant among the rest, best at almost everything only to find out that none of those is contributing to the development of itself, its so so sad. Nevertheless, the fact can not just be ignored, though the western people have their own unique way of life which is culture, and of which says a lot about them. But I don't think their culture has a direct impact on the development and growth of their country, culture is simply the way people live their daily life, the way they behave in the society, their custom and all that, even if it will be a reason but not for those already developed western countries. I can say categorically that their way of life is even causing them harm that they don't know of, it is in their own way of life that marriage between two men is okay, I mean you hear all sort of act and practices that is very disgusting to the hear which they find normal.

@nagiano:You are not entirely wrong as well, we might be facing a serious problem concerning the diversity in our language, our language has been a major barrier in forming that togetherness that will create a better living environment for us all.

@nagiano:Honestly I admire your spirit, but sincerely you are fighting for the right thing in the wrong way. When we talk about the success of these white people's countries, when we look deep into their foundation and their progression, we would realize that they have the dream of what we all see in them today long time ago, they planned for it, they knew what they wanted, they started from somewhere and they are where they are today. It is never as a result of direct impact of their culture. They own everything they have now because they never relented, they keep on making research to sort for new things that would be of great use and benefit to them and the rest of the world, that is not a way of life, that is simply basic, every country does that except us (Nigeria). So we can't compare the way, mode or shape of their countries with ours in terms of science, technology, economic, amenities, infrastructure..... they have a better, standard and comfortable state of being than us.

@nagiano:At first I thought you were just talking based on some solid fact, but I now realize your points are purely based on your feelings, in fact you adding tribal sentiment with it. How can you say our marriage here is more problematic than theirs? And that is why so many men are still single? Oh man! where are you from? Miami or Manchester? You talk like you were never born and raised here in Nigeria. There is no marriage process that is as intriguing, fascinating and exciting as African marriage, the bride price and dowry of a thing makes it responsible, it has been like that since ancient and till now the proceedings still remain as great as ever. Do you even know the kind of feelings you get when you are having a traditional marriage? Do you know how glamorous it can be? If you haven't done it before you should have been to one, It is just what anybody could wish for.

If I hear you say you believe our culture is the best especially yourba. Oh my God! Are you a yourba person? What is good about it? Is it the loads of insults and curses we like to rain upon ourselves or is it the compulsory greetings and respect we have to give even to the ones that may be killing us in the inside or what? Is it the culture that portrays our parents and elderly ones to always be right! To always be perfect. The only ones that are always wrong is we the children. Is that what you call the best?
Growing up, the only thing I learned how to do is to be strong alone! It is a sin for me to make a mistake.
But look at them there, you are allowed to voice your emotions. Elderly ones apologized when they are wrong. You are allowed to have your own feelings and do things they way you know works and its the best for you.
Here in my country, it is the one that can kneel down and greet the whole world that is considered the respectful ones even though they may be planning how to kill you on the inside.
I have always love to be real! To be authentic but the truth of the matter is that my country, my culture doesn't permit that and I have to fight every single day how to keep my own feelings to myself. I have to fight everyday how to be that perfect sister who must not make a single mistake for if I do, am considered to be evil and an ingrate.
Is this what you call the best? Then if also think so, am afraid to say you are just like the rest of them who value hypocrisy than authenticity!.

Of course African culture is far better than Western culture as we have best attitude/charisma for different purposes. African are blessed and high time we appreciate our values and norms especially the beautiful aspect of our traditions.
In Africa, we revere our elders, leaders and people in general. There is always a prefix or suffice of respect in our intonation and this makes it beautiful.
Our culture our pride.

Western culture is what copy nowadays we don't value our own culture anymore and this is not good .
African has the best culture ever ,the white people has already make use of civilization to divert our ways of doing things in to another side right.
Our culture did not allow women to put on trousers but look at the rate of ladies,girls,woman who put on trousers.
Our culture did not allow men to put on ear rings but boys put on ear rings in the street.
African culture is well presented and it includes training and adequate knowledge of impertation
Our culture is the best let follow it and make use of our culture in the society .

I strongly support the fact that any culture that brings progress is what we should encourage and follow.
In Africa we fail to evaluate our cultural practices and this goes a long way in affecting us.
Re: Western Culture / African Culture by: Abbey(m) .:. Wed, 29 Sep, 2021 - 12:38:18:am GMT
Nigeria don't usually value what they have .
We copy almost everything from other countries , african culture is still the best for me , let us value our own culture and bring forth the goals and norms in it .
Africa has the best culture ever believe me.
