no.I'm telling you WHAT IS WORTH BEING CELEBRATED.

If they achieved any feat in that,I will have given them an ovation but SINCE WHEN DID VIRGINITY BECOME AN ACHIEVEMENT OR ACCOMPLISHMENT?
Since when did virginity become an achievement? Maybe to them and they're celebrating it to themselves not for you or for the entire world. Reason why it's their culture. Still, it doesn't stop Nigeria from having excellent form in science n tech, as you're trying to point out.

How is this mediocrity pls, if this is practiced in west, base on your mentality, I don't think you'll find anything wrong with it.
Do deep research on YouTube bout western cultural practices, you'll discover a lot (bizarre) in their respective villages, those that still stop them from exploring sci n tech?

Your problem here is failed government, leadership, system, institutions.
Don't feel that your culture has something to do with your poor form in sci n tech.
what is bad is bad,koloruko meji.regardless of where its practiced.moreover I thought African culture preach modesty and decency. What's with the display of fallen dead brezs like 90something year old grandmas

So who test run to check that the hymen is still intact? grin

Secondly EVERY human BEING WAS BORN A VIRGIN. ANIMALS INCLUSIVE ALSO HAVE A HYMEN so there's nothing spectacular about what mother nature has given creation. Its like celebrating men for having phenese grin

This is stupidity grandeur abeg. grin

DON'T LET YOUR DAUGHTER TO THIS!!! IT IS DEMONIC.

My dearest mum did similar to this type but it took us children decades to break forth into BREAKTHROUGH. Several years of forgiveness appeals to God.
Mouth can't explain setback such evil things like this festival causes children. Family fine, now. All prosperous. Pains of yester-years can't be forgotten easily. True live story. All family delivered from that bondage. Praise God.

Wow...as well as I knew this was possible, I never looked at it from this angle. You are very correct I must admit.

Don’t judge others with your own experience.

The fact that you lost yours doesn’t mean that other girls are like you. There are still other people who treasure and hold onto their virginity. It’s to be celebrated.
Yes I agree with you. Virginity is important and should be celebrated, but not by making these innocent girls appear naked in public.

The prospect of encouraging young people to be faithful till married is good, but initiating them into something as a means of certification of status is entirely scary. Any initiation ritual always places the initiate under the control of some invisible forces, which may create some very unpLEASANT experience for external person marrying into such culture.

That is their culture and tradition. There is similar thing in South Africa, Botswana and Swaziland.

They do it with pride. It’s outsiders who read meaning into the nudity. They should be respected.

.

There are no control of any invisible forces. Stop believing nonsense.

What they are doing is simply ‘initiation’.

It’s no different from footballers asking new players to sing and perform in front of the audience. It’s no different from some graduates or undergraduates having fun and smearing inks, mud on the hairs of new students or writing on their shirts.

What you see above is simply some people upholding their culture. The girls are not complain.
If you see any form of abuse there, kindly point it out.

Exposing your boobs publicly with pride
SMH for some culture.

Hmmm. I wish them the best.


South Africans are quite angry after the Global Citizen Festival:

Yesterday, the Global Citizen Festival held at the FNB Stadium in Johanesburg, South Africa. It featured a ton of African and Global Superstars including Beyonce and her husband, Jay Z. Hosted by Bonang Matheba, and well attended by celebrities across the world, it was a great event.

Global Citizen is a movement of engaged citizens who are using their collective voice to end extreme poverty by 2030. It is disheartening to note that after such an amazing event, disaster struck. According to reports, the South African police were busy safeguarding the bigwigs and exposed thousands of attendees to mayhem.

Since we should remain in our old ways and not be influenced by both globalisation nor colonisation like you said, I guess we all should go back to

1. Hunting
2. Palmwine tapping
3. Subsistence farming (no mechanisation)
4. Basket weaving
5. Killing of twins
6. Burying of slaves with the king when he dies

The world is evolving. As much as I am an advocate of culture preservation, I still strongly CONDEMN parading of young girls unclad all in the name of culture. They are more susceptible to rape with those shameless men around envisioning all sorts of nonsense.


herich:


What's primitive bout it.
Anyways! I don't blame you guyz,
It's the cause/result of colonization.
Colonization will make you feel inferior bout your own to embrace/accommodate your masters.
When you watch two grown adult male and female on stage, having sEx, (porn) you don't see it as primitive but when you see African girls on bare chest, in a ceremony, you'll remember to use the word *primitive*
Search on YouTube, there are many video music of whites, dancing naked or what do you think bout body painting
festival in western world, I think that one is civilization and it's OK by you, since it's practiced by whites
