It's really is amazing. Some of use for whatever reason refuse to let go of the colonialist influences. For example, my mom went back to Nigeria in November and she brought lots of stuff with her to give to people. She had clothes and shoes for a cousin of mine. While trying to give him the clothes and shoes, she realized that the shoes didn't fit and tried to collect it from my aunt [my cousin's mother]. Despite the fact that the shoes didn't fit, my aunt still wanted the shoes and my mom asked her what's the point of having shoes if they don't fit. My mom then told her that they would go someone and buy some shoes before she left Nigeria and my aunt refused and continued to insist on having those shoes simply because they were from the US. In my opinion, this belief on everything foreign being good is part of a deep rooted inferior complex--from the way we style our hair to the way we speak. It quite sad if you ask me. |
