Texazzpete, Please let me clarify u on something. The English men wore a lot of clothes because of the weather in their country. They did not wear it out of choice. We wore clothes to cover our body and cooked our meals way before the English men. This is Hardcore history that the white man would rather you did not read. The mother of all nation was black, it has also been verified. Life started in Africa way before it began in Europe. The Albinos were driven to a colder climate by their parents because they could not stand the heat and sun in Africa. The white men are a product of black parents. This is History.

Civilization started in Africa and we all know that. The father of medicine was Imhotel a black man before his death and Socrates (sp) stole his work. This is all history. The white man out of the fear of the black race has tried every conceivable thing to discredit us, hence the slavery etc. We developed this Western nation come to think of it (slave labour) because the white man is naturally lazy. If you look at old UK in the 13th/14th century, they all lived in squalor. I am a British born Nigerian and I've lived here most of my adult life. Going into history of events was my way of trying to find out what we have done to this people. Granted that we are a backward nation now because we are trying to emulate the so called civilization of other people. We were not allowed to grow in our own direction, our government was created by other people (the British) who did not have our welfare at heart. We are suffering from that now. Greed has also become a part of our underdevelopment.

I agree with ynot on this issue. He knows exactly what he is talking about. The western society's way of bringing up their children has failed totally. They are now trying to go back to the old style parenting. Our parents did beat us, yes, no question about that but it has not made us social misfits or are we dependent on anti-depresants. We did not turn out to be child molesters or serial rapists. Take a look at the children in the UK and you will be amazed at how sorry those childrens morals are. They do not respect even their own parents, they tell their mothers to shut the f***k up in public. Now that is what you want us to copy? Please be serious!!!

The Royal Family still practices the old style family values, why don't we keep to that as we have always done? Why do we have to copy the illiterate white family and practice their nonesense. I admit that some parents take it OTT (over the top) but we should get a balance where we do not abuse our children but to correct them.

@texazzpete,

Let me first touch on the issue of our fore fathers dancing around half naked!! I must admit that they danced that way, that is who they were. The black people started wearing clothes and taking regular showers before the white men. Please read your history. We were actually underdeveloped by the advent of the white mans greed that brought them to Africa.  Now that we are all wearing clothes, what have we achieved? Nothing but rape, child molestation/abuse and mans physical attraction to his fellow man. All these decadence came with the so called civilization.

Culture is open to interpretation. The English people have abandoned their culture totally in favour of "politically correct issues" Once you do this, morals and family values go out of the window. Look at the divorce rate in the western world. Single parent families are so abundant that girls do not want to get married anymore. Social misfits all come from broken homes in general give or take a few. The teenagers in the UK now are brought up by parents that were not disciplined as kids. No stable family background, how do you expect him/her to raise a child?

Let us embrace our culture. Most Nigerians that have not been to the UK will not fully understand that the white man does not hold a candle to us. They will be totally disappointed when they get here.

@aloib, I do not see anything wrong with using your left hand in doing things. But I believe that we should all try to respect our culture. That is the only thing we have going for us as Africans. In a round about way it brings about good morals in us without us realizing it. By the way don't you use the loo or is that not part of your own bodily function? On a more serious note most of us will not realize the family values we have for having a culture. American blacks feel so inferior and jealous of us Africans because we know where we are coming from, I used the present tense here, so read the meaning!! I will also point out that left hand usage does not bother me, but if it is the culture of a people then please idenify with that. Afterall the English people without their culture have failed terribly in raising their children.

Hi Seun,

I am compelled to answer this question. I am actually new to this site and have not posted anything. I am of the opinion that some people get on the site and generally read through most of the topics. It is quite a good/interesting read though. I would not worry if I were you on the number of people that actually post things on the site. I spend about 1 hour most days on the site and I have learnt quite a lot from here. It is hard to beleive that the average age of the people on this site is approximately 21 years. You have mature minds on the site and I think you should be proud of this your creation. Those that have not posted will surely post in the the near future, they may just be taking it all in just like me.

Cheers.
