I'm an african but I and my siblings live abroad. We are a proud people with wonderful culture and tradition. Most importantly we have identity. Without it what does one really have? Who are you? Identity gives you a sense of belonging in this world. It gives you the motivation to live and do the right things in you and your family's lives. I am sorry to say this but someone has to say it. I can not understand why some of our people go out of their way to imitate akata behavior? What is the value and or the attraction in it? I know akata people who tell me that they wish that they have the tradition and culture that we have, mainly the fact that we know who we are as africans. There is envy there too. Why is it that a lot of us don't seem to appreciate our God given heritage instead some of us are trying so hard to copy the akatas. A smart and wise person would want to emulate good things that they see around them, rather than embrace the worst. If you want to impress people, impress them with your best. So talking, acting and living like akata to me is sad. I used to believe that we knew better, was I wrong? Which akata is running around trying to be like us?

How are people copying the akatas exactly? Can you give examples?
