PAGAN 9JA:


whats your mother tongue?

I don't want to be identified by my peers, although it might be too late. I shouldn't even have said that out of the major Indian languages I only know Bengali. It's a language that's spoken around Bengali speakers.

Circumcision has ended in yorubaland

We Yoruba pagans don't circumcise our daughters.

OP if u are very proud of ur culture u shouldn't have gone to school, u should have stayed in ur father's house and disregard those u consider inferior that go to school.
Re: Nigerians Have Very Low Self-esteem by lastmessenger: 6:47pm On Dec 13, 2013
I dont see learning a new language as a sign of low self esteem.Our Nigerian language may not be of much help outside this country.so i dont see much reason to bother learning yoruba,housa,efik and the rest as an Igbo guy.

Nope. I'm an Atheist. I am the Atheist that is also a Pope( the ultimate Paradox). I have no time to worship any Violent Arabic God or pay homage to that Pedophile called Muhammad, or scream praises to the blue-eyed Jesus. You are nothing but a SLAVE, you insult me for questioning a Religion that was imposed on your Forefathers. If you must worship a god, why not worship our African Gods? you fools left our African Gods to go and worship the Arab god known as Allah. Confused Idiot!

IGNORANCE!
Do you know how the greatest economies and nations got to where they currently are today? I'll tell you, they learnt from each other, throughout out the course of history different culture mixed to get what we have today, Look at the Americans, Chinese, Japanese, Indians, Germans, French and many others they didn't get where they are today by resisting change. Learning from other cultures that are evidently more successful than your own is not a bad thing, you don't have to completely discard your own but you can mix it.
Culture is the way of life of a people, if that culture no longer serves the needs of the people then appropriate modification is in order.

Op your assertion is flawed,however I believe you're right to an extent.
But learning foreign languages doesn't connote inferiority complex or low self-esteem..Then don't generalize,your assertion doesn't apply to every nigerian.

Look Nigerians are living prosperous lives all around the world, I have family abroad, it's people like you who refuse to learn and move forward that are holding this potentially great nation back.

Mine is one of those families included. So I know what I'm talking about.

Promhize:

Op's post isn't complete. Fulaman198 I think you should edit it and add embracing european culture (halloween, baby showers etc), and those usually forming british accents, esp ladies.

Russians have one of the worst english accents but they are so proud of it. A minister even went to the extent of trying to make French compulsory, but fortunately she was sacked.

When I have kids at least 3years of their childhood would be spent in the village. Not just knowing how to speak Igbo, they must be proud of who they are, where they come from.

So true brother

Obviously you don't, If those family members of yours couldn't speak the native language of their host countries would they be able to live there?

Scorpionking: most African cultures and traditions are backward and incompatible with first world development and progress. embrace the truth and it will set you free. I encourage Nigerians to adopt only the positive american and european and japanese culture.

Can they speak the native language or not? There's absolutely nothing wrong in learning a new language it can only benefit you.

I feel especially sorry for the women. As one pointed out earlier, they have the lowest self-esteem. Many of them try so hard to imitate celebrities. In fact, I abhor it when I see a Nigerian woman trying to talk like an American or something she is not. Or when a Nigerian woman doesn't even know her own language.

Scorpionking: Black people are a very s.tupid people honestly,Only black people make these s.tupid thread and oppose progress. The japanese borrowed and embraced the positive white culture but black people are still yapping about slavery and colonization.
is it not the white that drilled and discovered the oil in Nigeria? where would Nigeria be without European influence? when the oil runs out you can continue to blame the white man who has granted visa to millions of Nigerians.without europeans how would nigerians communicate?
who stopped killing of twins? who invented mechanized farming and cities as we have them today? who is exploring space?


More inferiority complex and perpetuated self hate. Keep it coming guy
