Colonization didn’t change Nigerians’ tradition that much

It changed a lot!.

What you need to change a culture is not what you listed. What you need to change or even create a new culture are (1). Language (2). Education (3). Religion. These are the core aspects of culture that should never be changed because if someone give them to you, you will use it to teach yourself how to become someone else.

What you see today is just a shadow of ourselves, and it would keep eroding into the future.

Most people that use generator in Nigeria always on it by 7pm at night. It has become a tradition among most Nigerians and if you go to some neighbourhood, the sound of generators will almost deafen your ear.

#2 Omugwo ( Otherwise known as After birth care)

Omugwo is another peculiar tradition among Nigerians. It is the care a mother-in-law gives to a daughter-in-law after birth. Although it is common among the Igbos, but it has cut across all tribes in Nigeria. In fact, there are instances when both couples mother will be around for an Omugwo
Source: http://www.24hoursreporter.com/2018/05/23/7-traditions-peculiar-nigerians/

This is inaccurate. Omugwo, in Igbo culture is a period in which a mother provides post-partum care to her own daughter, which makes more sense than mother-in-law taking care of daughter-in-law.

That's not Omugwo. I'm sure other cultures have a name for the practice of mother-in-law taking care of daughter-in-law

Very true... I was wondering where he got the idea that Nigerian culture didn't change much, yet he listed 3 marriage rights instead of 2.

Most Nigerians who are "holy" have totally rejected traditional marriage institutions in favour of the imported ones.

Too bad.
