You must not reason like that.
Nothing is wrong with acculturation.
Culture is not cast in steel.
It is dynamic.
It grows and should be growing steadily.
Yes, the things you pointed out are reflections of Niger Deltans contact with Europeans.
When two cultures meet, there's bound to be exchanges and absorption of particles and elements.
You asked whether the Olu of Warri was King of England to have a cross on his crown. Did the English people originate the cross? Did they not copy it from Christian Rome?
You should rather appreciate the dynamism and creativity displayed in the Olu's regalia.
Look at how grand, sparkling and modern he looks.
My friend, learn to appreciate good things when you see them.
For any culture to grow, it must borrow elements from everywhere.
The whole world must become it's school. It must be ready, prepared and willing to let positive influences from other cultures filter into his own in a harmonious and favourable way.
Stop imagining African traditional chieftaincy and royalty is all about animal skin, elephant tusk, cattle horn, porcupine spikes, and all that.
It lies in our hands to creatively uplift what we have.
The English monarch you mentioned have borrowed so much from virtually all known civilizations of the world.
Look at them today.
When next you watch the Queen on BBC performing the annual ritual of opening of Parliament, watch her and the procession of members of the royal family, and in their dressing, you will see a distillation of Greek, Roman, German, French, Spanish, Egyptian, etc, sartorial grace and splendour.


I personally admire that royal dressings
of the Olu of Warri and his chiefs.
The Olu looks like a priest king.
So much colour, so much beauty.

I also admire the Oba of Benin
and his court.

If you must know, the cross which you pointed out is a universal symbol.
Don't always think of Christianity whenever
you sight a cross.
Rome, a pagan empire had the cross as an instrument of punishment long before Christ was crucified on it.
If you must know, the cross is an enlarged sword. That's what it is
And the sword as such stands for justice.
To be crucified on the cross means to
be justly condemned to death.



When a cross has four equal arms,
it stands for truth.


I should imagine the cross on the Olu's crown has a high symbolic import.
Only he can say exactly what it means.

Captainrambo2:
Wearing a bowler hat as a sign of culture...

So till 200 years or so ago when the white men came you guys diidnt have culture? No offence some ethnic groups in Baylessa rivers and delta re just clownish.... they just import all sorts of things Into thier culture.

AreaFada2:

In Nigeria this your question is a crime these days.
Nigerians nor care. Ask and they will say your be bad belle. Most want to be rich overnight. Hence so much corruption and crime.

If you like discover a cure for Kovik-1-9 and you nor get money, nobody go introduce you to Buhari.

That's where we are as of now.

9jaDoomCountry:


Some fools here are claiming he sells petrol by the roadside. That's the kind of reasoning in the head of some people.

Useless generation.

JasonJidenna:
Yes, his grandmother lived at Ajamimogha, close to Awani upstairs... When his parents chased him to go to school in the morning, Ayiri will sneak out to meet his grandmother.

You can ask him when next you see him... He's a jolly good fellow.
