bloodofthelamb: So an American ambassador in Nigeria is forbidden to wear Nigerian cultural clothes, speak Nigerian languages, eat Nigerian food and partake in Nigerian cultural activities including traditional marriages just because he is an American ambassador in Nigeria? |

LET'S GET THIS STRAIGHT GUYS: "JUDGING FROM THE DICTIONARIES, 'CULTURE AS AN IDENTITY OF A GIVEN GROUP OF PEOPLE' HAS A VERY THIN LINE WITH TRADITIONS AND IN MOST CASES, THEY WALK SIDE BY SIDE. CHRISTIANITY ITSELF IS A CULTURE(REMEMBER PASTORS NOW DESCRIBE IT AS A WAY OF LIFE). HOWEVER, WHAT MATTERS IS THAT WE LIVE IN PEACE AND HARMONY TOGETHER" IRRESPECTIVE OF OURDIVERSE CULTURE/TRADITIONS |

So celebrating your culture is also now anathema to Christianity? Where did it go wrong in the black man's mind? We are natural born slaves, I swear! So celebrating a cultural day has become a taboo in Christianity? 2 Likes |

Jigba:I'm sorry, but there's no such thing as "the African version of physics". What you i want is for us to start Teaching physics, chemistry, mathematics in our indigenous languages like it is done outside the shores of Africa... |

MrAnele: But in the article it stated African version of Physics or maybe I misunderstood that part. Ermm till now I don't think there have been efforts to translate these languages to our native languages. I'm guessing it would be hard in Nigeria though I heard one time there have been efforts to do so.. In which African country is it done? |

CAPSLOCKED: I was born and raised a Catholic (I'm not religious at all any more). I've never met a Catholic in my life who pays tithe. Not once. All the churches I grew up going to in Lagos (St Dominic in Yaba, St Agnes in Maryland, Holy Family in Festac), I never once heard anyone solicit for tithes. Ever. Not once. You could pick out 100 Catholics randomly and not a single one of them pays tithes. I've heard in some of the rural communities in the South East, parishes solicit tithes, but I've never witnessed it myself. For most of the calendar, 1st and 2nd collections is what I grew up knowing, but during Harvest periods, the frequency of collections certainly escalates. Also when the church is building new outstations or undertaking major projects, there are also more collections than usual. And while some of the collections go to the Diocese/Arch Diocese, there are no "targets" as you claim. You can't demote or punish a priest because he doesn't raise enough money for you. Your claim that Catholic churches all over the world send "most of their money to Rome" is false too. The overwhelming majority of funds generated stays within its root Diocese. Once a year, a special collection called Peter's Pence is collected which any Parish/Diocese/Arch Diocese is entitled to skip and many often skip it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter%27s_Pence This amount is far less that what the Vatican itself generates. The Vatican generates most of its revenue from tourism and its own commercial dealings from the vast estates it inherited over the centuries. I don't understand in what way the Catholic Church is a one-man business either. Any aspiring priest can dream of being a cardinal or even a Pope. Cardinal Arinze is one of the most senior Cardinals in the Vatican and was one of the favourites in the elections for a new Pope. How is a democratic structure where anyone can rise to anything a "one-man business"? I share your religious skepticism but some organizations are bigger profiteers than others. We don't have to draw a false equivalence to smear every religion as the same. 3 Likes |

The post is to mock Christianity and degrade Catholic church. OP take note... Let us tolerate others culture and refrain from what you don't know. |

redangel2017:. Is it every aspect of our culture that is associated with darkness? Don't we have traditional praises to God? Can't we say a prayer to God? So is it a crime to adorn your traditional attire and come sing traditional praises to God while highlighting your culture? You're intellectually inept and would be a very dull parent to your kids. |
