People Of African Descend, what do u live for? by Bliss4Lyfe(f): 11:13am On Aug 10, 2011
I have noticed that the Chinese as a people seem to have a common goal and vested interest in the state as a means to fulfilling the desires of the Chinese people. The Asians seems to have a vested interest in fostering strong community values and care. The whites seem to focus on race as the cornerstone of progress. They will always go the extra mile for a person so long as they are white. The Arabs seem to place their strength as a nation on Islam, as the only way to gains of life.

Wat is important to Africans and all of African descend globally. Wat do we stake our life's on and are prepared to die for as a people. Surely not hatred for one another or tribalism?

I need all the African haterz and lovers to give an honest reply and lets start the healing process, so we can have a common direction and purpose.

Hrm. What do I live for? Many things. The things that make me happy in life. My family. My friends and loved ones. My homeland and the indigenous people of it.

It is clear dat people of  African Descend live for hate and tribalism and can never attain great hieght as the Asians, Arab, Europeans or Chinese.

There are many from particular ethnic groups dat are very narrow minded without hope of change. This is perhaps why the British included dem in the Nigeria construct. They can not see beyond der backyard.

Hate and Tribalism is by no means individual becos it can be embodied in an ideology dat is a belief system for a group of people.

It is not for me to speculate right now but in Nigeria we have ethnic groups dat are religious fanatics and tribalistic and with such groups especially the tribalist progress commonly hard becomes impossible.

Unless does issues are dealt with permanently, never to disturb us again.

You're right. Do you have any solution? how do we solve this problem ?

Your question doesn't make much sense especially sighting the Chinese people path of socialist ideologies.

In general Africans have high levels of affinity to their traditions and beliefs, what eer they maybe so in general these are the things that govern our existence.

Oh yeal plus we like to go Owambe, dance and sing a lot so you can say we live for that. hehehe!!!

A curse on your traditions and beliefs, becos they hold us from realizing all the blessings of God for our nation and as a people. Please understand the gist before contributing so u don't start making aspersions  with regards to the motion tabled for deliberation.

Solving the problem is not a one day business or the case of switching on and off a magic switch. This will have to involve a well thought out plan with various institutions and various media channels.

It will require laws and a general deconstruction of wat we have right now in other to reconstruct something entirely new without alarming anyone. We will have to completely change the ritual convalescences.

The solution is understanding that our heritage,traditions, beliefs and culture inform the way we aspire to live our life. They are not absolutes that should govern our existence since such elements are dynamic phenomenas and must remain so for any people to survive and prosper.

Is that a better response for you. sssshhhh!!!. Talkl about being A.n.a.L

Like, i said your traditions, culture beliefs and heritage are cursed and its time u made new ones that is keeping with the times. Whether fluid or dynamic is circumstantial and in itself generic. We need a African culture based on brotherhood that fosters unity, peace, progress and love.

You really don't know what you are talking about. The action of Tribalism already encompasses elements of "brotherhoodism". You just have to tweek the errors out of the system to get everyone on the same page. It would be incorrect to think you can wipe an entire system out and replace it with another. History will continue to prove that is an "impossible possibility"(tautology)

A wise man would leave the people their traditions while he exemplifies what he believes is wrong within these chosen way of life.

Start by changing your mind set and others will see that truth through you. Instead of talking about how African culture is cursed.

If u believe dat tribalism encompasses brotherhood-ism den u are on the wrong page becos even within the tribes their are further divisions and dis cuts right to the immediate family. Watever a person does in the name of tribe will also be done in the name of kins men within the tribe and den between two brothers family. Do no be deceived.

Of course not in one day but in the long run entire systems have been known to be replaced. The concept of Nigeria in itself is evidence of dat. However, desirable elements dat are all inclusive are best kept.

Traditions are cursed and best adapted to the times to avoid leaving in the past and being backward. I am already the change that i want to see and can dream of an alternative to the system so many cling to.
