I listened to "my boy lollipop" like it was well... Lollipop.

If your brain is in the business of appreciating good music you should definitely check out that song.

People who would counter this argument have no good reason to, there's always a trace of hatred toward religion that determines how they see it.

Another untrue statement.. the poor thing about Africa is that we don't know the fine details of our history unlike Europeans? You don't even know that your false notion of "decency" or "decent dressing" is an imported culture. In our true African culture, men and women wore little coverings because our weather did not demand, "decent dressing" as you may put it.

That's why many Europeans value museums and documenting their culture so their progenitors would not utter uninformed statements.


Utter bullocks! Do you know that in 1964, wearing pants (trousers) like this woman is a no no for many religious nut-jobs? What am I saying? Even today.

Cadbury Nigeria Plc (“Cadbury Nigeria” or “the Company”) today announced the demise of Jamaican singer, Millie Small at the age of 72, reportedly from a stroke, in England. The star, who was born Millicent Small, sang one of the earliest Bournvita commercial songs. The song It’s Millie The Bournvita Girl, was released in 1964 in the United Kingdom, under the Reggae genre. The Bournvita song helped popularize Cadbury Nigeria’s flagship cocoa beverage brand in the sixties.

A statement from the Company said Ms. Small was also popular for her global hit single My Boy Lollipop, which climbed to number two in both the US Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart in 1964. She was well known for her high-pitched vocals, which struck the right note with her fans all over the world.

In 2011, the Governor-General of Jamaica bestowed on Ms. Small, a Commander in the Order of Distinction, in recognition of her contribution to the Jamaican music industry. Small is survived by her daughter, Jaelee, who is also a musician.

“Our condolences to her family,” said Oyeyimika Adeboye, Managing Director of the Company. “She made Bournvita a household name in the sixties.”

I'm speaking calculatively. Measuring from the time when we began to wear clothes. If you today decide to stop wearing clothes because you feel it is not our culture, you will be considered sick or indecent. There is a measure of physical appearance that is considered indecent and that is what I speak of. You have a conscience and it tells you when your appearance is out of line. You know this, therefore don't argue.

Fragility6:

Our weather did not demand what? European cold weather and d hot African weather, wich requires more covering dan d other? Guy ur opinion is baseless. U made no single point.

Ekealterego:

Our weather didn't demand that we covered everything. Our weather demanded little covering. Read again and don't quote what I didn't write.

Fragility6:

I needed clarity dats y i asked but u were wrong in every way. Are u confused?Hot weather requires little covering so more air can penetrate but cold requires more coverings bro. U jst wan support d indecent dressing by all means bt not with dese ur points. If cold dey catch u wetin u dey do? u dey wear sweaters or u dey naked? Guy think na

Ekealterego:

Yeah! My point is that, it was the Europeans that made you feel ashamed of your body and enforced their sense of morality on you.
Our great grandfather obviously had a sense of morality but partial covering wasn't considered a bad thing. It wasn't because they couldn't invent clothing, the climate dictated the they wore little covering. So why project that sense of foreign morality now when one or two generations before this woman you made reference to it was not considered a taboo in our society?
