Abalado:That is the reality on ground. The traditional rulers are supposed to be father to all at any time but not politicians. Unfortunately, these days traditional rulers want to combine these two functions, thereby putting themselves in conflict with the politicians who have the real constitutional power |

It is all about the denigration of who we are as a people, and you have a choice to allow it or not to allow it. You do not politicize an identity and culture of a people. It is one of the reason, the black people we ever, may remain in what l chose to call - "lbivio" to be or not to be, which is the question. The colonial master do not care about your identity and your culture, you got to know that. 2 Likes 1 Share |

philoedu: And some people are celebrating this devaluing of our traditional monarchs , which are like the symbolic embodiment of our culture and cultural identity. It's as if some block-heads learnd nothing from our loss of ability to speak our mother tongue and the colonisation of our very beings by adoption of foreign names. It's a crime of the highest order and an indictment of our Intelligence level if in today's world we learn nothing about the importance of jealously guarding what remains after the rape of our cultures that diminished us so. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Nigeria is actually the Giant of Africa because of our culture. In Nigeria is concentrated the most evolved,diverse, intact, adapted examples of African heritages surviving. Nigeria is nothing if not her cultural heritage. Black nations full of men and women in western suits, eating western foods, speaking predominantly western languages, dreaming a Western future all informed by an absences of primordial influence are a dime a dozen . They add nothing to the human story and wouldn't be missed if wiped from the earth. 1 Like |
