15 Things I Hate About My Culture by kokoye(m): 1:34pm On Jul 30, 2009 |
1. Bride price - kinda like buying a spouse. 2. When you get a public position, churches, communities, schools etc start inviting you for functions and expect donations - even when they know you really cannot afford it. 3. You are not allowed to disagree or argue with your elder / lecturer even when you both know the elder is wrong. 4. You must honor a party invitation and pay for the 'uniform' or else you'll have a lifetime enemy. 5. You cannot call out a family member who is doing wrong - you'll be called a bastard. 6. When visiting, you have to take gifts to your hosts even if you cannot afford it - or you will be called stingy 7. When you are the host, you have to give a parting gift (mostly cash) to your visitor - or you will be called stingy. 8. Spraying at parties. 9. You cannot rejoice publicly for a well deserved accomplishment - some people will hate you for it. 10. The man must be the breadwinner. When people / family members realise the wife makes more money, rumors start flying. 11. The husband does not have to help in cleaning the house or cooking. 12. A woman has to suspend her life for 40days or more when she loses her husband. 13. You cannot go home until after your boss has left work - it's not like you are getting paid for the overtime. BANKS! 14. You have to eat some wacky nasty after child birth - oro ile. 15. You cannot complain about an uncompleted project because it is been handled by someone who once helped your grandfather. - I'm sure this is some of what our president is going through. ______________________________ In my opinion, these are some of the things that breed corruption and fraud. Just a thought. Hopefully things are getting better. |

16. The wife must obey the husband at all times even if he's being an asshole and he really needs to be told to f**k off. |

LMFAO!!! Spraying of money is probably the only thing I like about my culture. How can you not like that? |

@poster You can continue hating your culture but you can't run away from it, It's still waiting to take its course on you. |

mama-g: I do not hate my culture. I simply listed some of the ways the culture encourages corruption and fraud in my own opinion. You dont have to agree with them - that's why it is being posted on the public forum. |
