Rapid Erosion Of African Taraditional Values by Qualitygoddy(m): 12:01pm On Apr 18, 2012
The rapid imitation of western ideas into the African societies hv greatly destroyed the moral upright of Africans..I remember when an average African gal won't dear put on any thing to expose her chest,I knw whn there was nofing lyk guys dropping their shorts or trousers benit their waste,I knw when we ate our food and when we sing our songs,I cud recall whn d Nigerian movie industry was a learning arena,a place of reference,oh gone are those days whn I watch movies in the palor with my parents nd siblings bt as for nw d movie industry can't b differentiated from a porn(BF) factory..I knw whn we speake our language nd oh whr r the tales durin d full moon,whn I was young we were creative,we r the last generation dat did many things,we construted cars with catorns,made helicopters with tin milk container,built hawzes with rafal palms,oh I missed my childhood virtuesness..African communities were based on mutual relationships organized to satisfy the basic human needs.An African community was a well-knit brotherly union.We neva knew geography so there was nothin lyk zones(north,east,south,west)we were one.I neva knew technology yet we traveled with patients on our humble donkeys nd camels,we were foolish in there eyes bt dat foolishness was d best.They learned trade barter 4rm us,we exchanged rice 4 yam,beans 4 meat,ram 4 sheeps,etc bt dey exchange our palm oil 4 guns nd arms 2 kill urself,gunpowders dey gave us 4 our groundnut nd cocoa plants nd ur kings neglected their chief priest.They killed us nd r killing us..It is high time we go back 2 been africans.Am black nd am proud
