tpia: It should be the only country, I kid. Nigerian/African whatever, There are lots of cultured African men/women out there. If the men/women you keep meeting are that culturally backward, its time to look in the mirror |

the thing is, NO culture favours women. women have always had to fight for everything they own in terms of right. its not just africa. women were only allowed to vote in america years after men were doing it. women still cannot drive in saudi arabia |

How come we claim to "have grown up well" (whatever that means) and have 'culture' and the westerners--not so much but we are the most pathetic breed of humans on earth and We are like scum of the earth? Lol abi o. sage, where have you been sef? If you want examples of "well brought up" people with pretty ok culture, try the Asians. |
Re: Men Don't Think African Culture Is The Best. They Like It Because It Favors Them by ChinenyeN(m): 1:56pm On Dec 11, 2008 |
[quote="Ziga"]@ChinenyeN, You've made a lot of sense[/quote] I try. It is all just my quest for my own understanding. [quote="beebop"]@ChinenyeN Not mad at you. I'm glad you can actually see that something is wrong unlike some blockheads here.[/quote] Okay, that's good. [quote="sage"]Western Culture is 1000 times better than African culture. The proof is there for all to see. Bogus Claim: people in Africa have better culture than westerners Facts on ground: Africa is the worst continent in the world and the laughing stock of the world. People acting like animals all over the place. Infact the whole continent is a big safari. So before you talk down Western Culture ask yourself these questions How come we claim to "have grown up well" (whatever that means) and have 'culture' and the westerners--not so much but we are the most pathetic breed of humans on earth and We are like scum of the earth? HOW IS IT THAT A CONTINENT FULL OF PEOPLE THAT GREW UP WELL IS CRAP WHILE CONTINENTS THAT HAVE DECADENT CULTURE IS WHERE WE ALL WANT TO BE. We Africans are fools and shit will never change because we can't even tell ourselves the truth. Let us get to the level of Asia and Latin America b/ we start comparing ourselves with Westerners. What a joke we are [/quote] Sage, not to be rude, but you couldn't be more wrong. The only reason why Africa is in the shape that it is in is because of European Imperialism and Colonization. I was talking to a few people (all white) and we were discussing the US.'s hand in Iraq. They said that the US. is trying not to do to Iraq what European Imperialism and Colonization did to Africa. The US. knows that if it just removes it's hands from Iraq, there'd be problems with government, a struggle for control over the country, inequality of all kinds, competition over resources. The US. wants to slowly remove it's hands from the Iraqi situation while helping reconstruct the country, government, and other systems. That is what European Imperialism and Colonization failed to do with Africa. Because they failed to help reconstruct what they damaged, there is now problems with government, a struggle for control over the country, inequality and prejudice of all kinds, competition over resources, overused stereotypes, misinterpretation of culture, corruption every which way. Cultre is not the problem. The problem is that Africa has yet to get a hold of itself in terms of proper management, government, and other systems that run the countries. For that reason, Africa is the way it is. Culture has very little to do with it. [quote="ladej"]the thing is, NO culture favours women. women have always had to fight for everything they own in terms of right. its not just africa. women were only allowed to vote in america years after men were doing it. women still cannot drive in saudi arabia[/quote] Again, like daviddylan pointed out, it isn't culture that is the problem. It is government and uninforced laws, mandates, and codes. I'm not saying that culture doesn't affect government and vice versa. What I'm saying is that rather than worrying about an obsolete side-issue, people should blame what's really to blame. That is how Africa is governmentally run. Look at Asia. I can almost safely say that they have a much stronger culture than we do. Yet, with all their steadfast culture, they have managed to develop this well. . . even to the point where people are expecting the US. to decline and Asia to rise in terms of "world power". Culture is not the issue. If anything, it is misinterpretation of culture and corruption of positions in place for running countries. |

Re: Men Don't Think African Culture Is The Best. They Like It Because It Favors Them by congoshine(m): 2:57pm On Dec 11, 2008 |
Let me start by saying Michelin types crap over 70% of the time ! As per culture,the fact is that our women love the 'culture' when it suits them,but blame the men when it doesn't. Whether we like it or not ,our culture,background etc,rings a measure of stability to one's life.

Re: Men Don't Think African Culture Is The Best. They Like It Because It Favors Them by ono(m): 3:29pm On Dec 11, 2008 |
Maybe the menfolks here should just accept what the women want: We like our (African) culture because it ''favors'' us. Ok. We agree. Now, what next? For me, I think this (men-women inequality argument stuff) will continue until such a time that it will become glaring to all (men and women alike) that there are certain issues that are better left the way they are. ChinenyeN, nice insight. |

Re: Men Don't Think African Culture Is The Best. They Like It Because It Favors Them by dremoney(m): 5:51pm On Dec 11, 2008 |
@beebop i reckon your p***y consistently drips (afterall u've dated men from different races). @karmamod, Sarcasism? your post is rather moronic, how many juveniles overcrowd beer parlours in nigeria & smoke? whats d difference in population of single mums in africa and europe including US. My point is we have a bad government but our culture and tradition is still far better than western cultures. I pity your family because you'll end up being a waste to them with the way you're faking reality. @sage i don't get what use your brain is for, are you aware of the fact that you can't match up with millions of Nigerian workers if you decide to travel back today?, you are so dumb!!!! culture is different from level of development, they are apart, development comes with governance, forget the foreign citizenship you slaved to get(if you are so unfortunate to have one), you can never be a real American, Home is Home!!!! mumu |
Re: Men Don't Think African Culture Is The Best. They Like It Because It Favors Them by KarmaMod(f): 6:05pm On Dec 11, 2008 |
dremoney: Look at this dumb gay. First off your comment to bebop was so uncalled for and should be reported since you;'re an immature lunatic secondly it's SARCASM you dimwit and there's no "i" in the word. Ode. My comment wasnt sarcastic in the least. Beer palors are filled with drunks in Naija, unless you wanna deny it. As for single mother or no single mother, better a population filled with single moms than one filled with aristos and those who start sleeping with senior citizens starting from secondary school You go around screaminga bout traditions and what not, what tradition were you raised with that allowed you to make such a crass and foolish statement to beebop like that? Thanks for proving our point. Arindin. |

we are talking of a soceity wheresister nwando. nawao. you know i am generally not an apologist for most naija men i think you are not being fair here |
Re: Men Don't Think African Culture Is The Best. They Like It Because It Favors Them by Nobody: 7:53pm On Dec 11, 2008 |
You can summarise the attitude of the women who have posted in the last 2 pages: 1. Black is bad, white is good. 2. Civilization = a. Living abroad b. inculcating white culture hook, line and sinker c. men doing menial labour d. all of the above. As i have consistently said - if you're not happy with nigerian men and their culture pls go marry someone else. Case closed. |
Re: Men Don't Think African Culture Is The Best. They Like It Because It Favors Them by KarmaMod(f): 7:54pm On Dec 11, 2008 |

earTHMama: Oh Osun amazon,dis na you? the slaves of allah don pursue me taya too. I'm almost running out of names to pick JJYOU: Josh my dear,it is sad but the truth must be spoken. I still have vivid pictures in my head of a woman at old park in Enugu whose husband came and beat up in her little mamaput joint with customers and passengers watching and all she did was wail and cry. The Enugu maximum prisons was right across the street from the park. Or a next door neighbor whose husband beat her up almost on a daily basis till her brothers came in an open van with machetes and gave him a sound warning. Our society is mean to women and degrades women. |

KarmaMod: I usually like to know the kind of people I post to on forums (by seeing the kind of posts they posts and the kind of topics they engage in). I went to yours, saw the picture and was curious. So, I asked. |

hehehe david is making me laugh we are happy with naija men. . . just work him up. . . i mean bend him a little to the right and a little to the left. thank goodness that most if not all of them have been shaped by oyinbo society. |
Re: Men Don't Think African Culture Is The Best. They Like It Because It Favors Them by Nobody: 8:04pm On Dec 11, 2008 |
*Hauwa*: we didnt even need to go more than 5 posts before someone confirmed my hypothesis. Is it the same "oyinbo society" were engagements are now 2-a penny and divorce rates are above 50%? |
Re: Men Don't Think African Culture Is The Best. They Like It Because It Favors Them by KarmaMod(f): 8:05pm On Dec 11, 2008 |
