Maintenance Is Not African by Nobody: 1:13pm On Apr 28, 2016
The word maintenance as a verb/ noun does not originally exist in any African tribe / dialect.

Someone gave me that revelation. If it exists in your dialect, it's probably very recent, and a converted foreign word.

I think you should go back to school and complete your education.

Don't recycle the narrow-mindedness of your forebears.

Am happy to inspire you to speak in your native language,

You also remind me of this African proverb:


"Modernity is not the sole 'invention' of Westernization, but more over, 'modernity' is the accumulated Conquest of the Western world " -
