0monnak0da: THERE'S AN URGENT NEED TO GO BACK TO THE OLD WAYS OF FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION.... ONLY FOR THESE LADIES CLAMOURING FOR TRADITION. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO SUPPORT PAYMENT OF BRIDE PRICE (TRADITION) AND NOT SUPPORT THAT YOUR CLĮT BE CUT OFF (ALSO TRADITION) HAHA. TWINS SHOULD BE KILLED TOO. AND BARREN WIVES SHOULD BE BANISHED FROM THE LAND. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Les:What kind of a stupid statement is this? Even the Great Einstein would be lacking in sufficient intellectual sophistication on the very relativity theory he propounded in comparison to contemporary relativists in the physics community. Modern Physicists understand Classical Physics more than Newton ever did. And Biologists have more understanding of evolution than Darwin himself did in his wildest dreams. How can you be so absurd as to assert that we can't know more than our ancestors? That we can't be wiser than them? If the next generation doesn't surpass the previous, isn't the human race fücked? When you go through history and marvel at the passage of time, what do you observe? Evolution or devolution? Progress or retrogression? Or is stagnancy the only thing your brain reads? The human race of years past is more endarkened, more primitive, and less enlightened than the modern man. We've read their stories, analysed their history, studied their behaviours, and taken note of their mistakes. We have surpassed them. That is why I know more than my ancestors, and it is impossible for them to be wiser than me. Plato was a Genius in his era, but he doesn't have access to 2500 years of accumulated human knowledge, information, and experience that I have access to. Nigga's already dead. We definitely aren't on the same level. Do not post this kind of nonsense again. 1 Like

That’s because you’re not interested in tradition or culture for its sake. Only when it serves your over inflated ego. You’re interested in any practice that tells you it’s okay to have a slave for a wife. You like the bride price because you believe once you pay it, the person you’re getting married to has no choice but to be a voiceless zombie who can’t question your opinions (even though they will undoubtedly be asinine).

Les: WHAT DID THE ANCESTORS EVER INVENT OR ACHIEVE, OTHER THAN SACRIFICING GOATS AND MARRYING MORE THAN 10 WIVES? FOR THAT STATEMENT I CERTIFY YOU THE DULLEST PERSON EVER BORN. NO WONDER YOUR ANCESTORS WHO EXISTED AND PRAYED TO STONES AND LIGHTENING MORE THAN 500 YEARS AGO ARE WISER THAN YOU. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Criis:Tradition and customs evolves.. Only through dissent and robust criticism from its members, but remain static/problematic if outsiders like you consistently tries to silence criticism in a misguided attempt to save it The problem is not the idea of the bride price, it's the exorbitant amounts being charged by the bride's family.The problem has everything to do with bride price, and until that's fixed, nothing gets better. 1 Like |

No sane society discards tradition Moggi tried it wen he was ceo of juve and ordered games to be played wen italy was mourning pope john paul Within a year the wire taps the police placed on his phones were used to destroy him. Chi herself said her father collected 10 kobo The price itself is symbolic Tradition makes u who u are As long as it does not lead to murder,denial of opportunity and discrimination It will and shall be maintained |
