oh and sweetiepie, who ever LIED to you that Africans used to dress "modestly/moderately" is a very wicked person.

We wore very minimal clothing before the European bitches came and started making noise about nudity. It's hot in Africa, so no need for so many clothes.

So my dear, you are not old-fashioned, you are actually NEW-fashioned because your moderate dressing is actually AGAINST your culture.

Thanks, I just had to point that out.

A lot of Africans think that European culture is THEIR culture and then they start making noise about dressing. I'm sorry, but you're mistaken.

@ poster

It's called the law of survivor. When you are in Rome behave like the Romans. How many Nigerians back home really live like westerners? Abeg all this is caused by an incurable inferiority complex.

JustGood:

Oh okay.

so when they told us to wear clothes, we did. Now that they are dressing almost nude, we should also follow suit.

There will always be a reason for doing ANYTHING at all

Epiphany:

Its called GLOBALISATION and like an earlier poster said, it is not only Africans that are imitating. The Asians, South Americans and most others are doing the same. It comes with whoever drives the world economy - they eventually influence the local cultures.

Epiphany:

One last question: what are we doing to stop being influenced by the west or what are we doing to influence them back? NOTHING. WE IMPORT EVERYTHING AND EXPORT NOTHING. Even our crude which is collected locally is sent abroad and sold back to us as refined products. Shame!

At least thank the westerners for teaching us their languages. imagine if we never learned english? how would we have been able to communicate across Africa?
also thank them for Computers. had they not invented it, you wouldnt have been on this forum.
had they not showed the proper bathroom and toilet paper you would have been defecating in the bush and using straw to wipe yourself.
blacks in micronesia and polynesia still walk around naked or with their joysticks tucked in a horn, at least the westerners showed you underwears.
some of you ladies who are outraged by westerners, still wear thongs, g-strings and kinky stuff for your men; you should thank westerners for it at least.some of you have dildos and vibrators. our ancestors never gave blowjobs and never sucked vaginas, thank the westerners at least for showing it to us.

some of you live in western countries and have changed your nationalities.thank westerners for it at least.

how about we love each other, immitate what is good and resist what is bad?

Hello
people I lived outside African, but I love my country and my culture. In the last decade or so, I've noticed that Africans try so hard to be like the westeners. Why is that? We never dated before, why have guys and girls begun to do that sort of thing?

do you know the meaning of love?

TheSeeker:

You could have led by an example; say when you wanted to start this thread, type in your native language and translate it to English language afterwards.

sexyLeamon:

bloody nonsense. No kidding. This is just dumb. What ever happened to falling inlove with a person for who they are and not letting outer appearance cloud your judgement? These are words that human beings especially u need to meditate on to be wise in picking someone to love. love is not a matter of colour but a matter of feeling

Magz:

No disrespect to you, but this is a foolish and/or ignorant statement.

Study history. Study ourstory. Then maybe you will understand.

I'll give you an example to think about. From where and who did these westerners learn tattooing from? Africa was the first place where tattoos were found -- that's where it originated from. They only modernized it and now people think it's their trademark.

eddy1977:

i would have to respectfully disagree with you here dear. mayas and incas had tatoes as well, did they copy that from africans?

also, i have never heard of any westerner claiming that tatooes originated from them, not in a book not on tv not anywhere. so, would you kindly tell me where you learned your wonderfull infos from? i would be very honored to double check. thank you.

oyinda.:

ummm tattooing is practiced world wide and is not native to any particular place
it's practiced all over asia, europe etc. from years BC lol

even on the topic we were both on recently, the nazis marked the jews with identification tattoos in the concentration camps. don't think that idea came from africa either lol
