this your reply shows that you do not understand the argument and I should not have engaged you. You have been agreeing with me that copying the west gives the best results. I won't engage you any further

china copies the west ?

if so, why china is depicted as the antipode of the west ? why the propaganda is fraught with "righteous democratic west VS vicious freedomless china" ?

at least, the west itself does not view china as a copycat . china may copy the cheap stuff, as a business starter and a way to earn money in the less developed countries for the lower budget customers. but basically china and west are different.

You are a fool if you don't know the difference between a Mall and a market.

What's my definition of stupidly

igbesachick:
Bra was invented in 18th century for the protection of the female workers and the tidiness of the prodction line.

If african or chinese led the first industrial revolution, these ppl would invent bras too.

the point is , why westerners be the first to the threshold of modern world ? it is not about whether chinese or aftican should or should not wear bras after the british invented bras.

of course today our women wear them the same, is it a stigma of inferiority ? shall we wear underwear on our chest instead to prove we are different but same superior as the brits ?

that said, westerners have other culture weirds , they like museums, they drink coffee, we dont need to follow them.

it is you who agree with me. you did say food and music are not counted (as important factors), and you also acknowledge the importance of technologies. so what is our disparity? i even allow the important influence of freedom of culture over the technologies.

selemempe:
lol.. you have just been agreeing with me lately. It's either you don't know how to articulate your points during an argument or you had no points in the first place

The whites have invented cloths...why is the man who this thread is about dressing like a babarian to uphold an archaic culture. Is dressing modern a sign of inferiority just because modern cloths were invented by whites. No!! You agree with me already.

Case closed

Lol if you don’t know about the history of retail stores then you can’t think beyond the box. You are not a deep thinker.

Is that your reason for bringing iPhone to this issue?

Lol, I've seen your funny stand

IronGalaxy:
The very same cloth his carrying is the same cloth he was covered in...duh?

I think the blanket was open on the front exposing the skimpy shorts.

Is iPhone and western technology of Africa origin?

If we decide or claim that everyman should stick to his culture and products of its civilisation, do you think you will have the privilege of having that phone you are using to type?

A peoples culture is a direct product of their religeon which also influences or determines their level of civilisation.

Lol I live in Oakdene Park Johannesburg South Africa

Had there been no colonisation "Nigeria" wouldn't exist either. Think about it.

Anyway, most SA tribes don't wear animal skins, e.g.

Pic 1 - Basotho
Pic 2 - Xhosa
Pic 3 - Venda
Pic 4 - Ndebele

My problem with him is that he refuses change....



His forefathers have reasons for dressing like that as at then, such reasons no longer apply



Culture has never been static

It is dynamic

bewla:
White never live the jeans and suits Arab still wear is kiftan and long robes and many others still preserve their culture



why in my country you call my language vanercular

illicit:
Don't u wear jeans


Cant u wear kaftan if u feel like


Must there be a rigid way of dressing?

But the article says nothing related to Zulu, why tell obvious lie

It doesn't mean it's correct....

So if you see an Igbo in his native attire you won't recognise him?

gaventa:
I’m glad I’m making someone research, another things is make sure you read your history written by your own people. The people who colonized you will never make you know your worth. Just like that told you Mongo Park discovered River nIger and you also believed and will google and find that too. WAKEUP! Know where you read from.

I don't understand what you meant by west technology. Japan has the best technology does technology belongs to Japan?
Samsung is Korea
Alexander grahambell invented telephone . many has contributed to it.
Ancient Chinese try to build flying object but Leonardo davinci constructed the idea and no one knew till he died.

Wilbur and ovil the wright brother later invented aircraft.
Technology belongs to no one. The earliest technology began in Africa .

So you're just a brilliant illiterate . I'm a physicist I'm a western? Do I owe westerners anything?
Philosophy has many Greek on its record doesn't mean philosophy began in Rome.

Let be guided with what we don't know much about

I see how they repulse and scorn west. This is everyday life in Japan. Where are the huts. Where are the kimonos and agbada? My guy I dey work abeg. I think by now we can agree that you should practice what you preach and truly do away with the western influence in your life

selemempe:
why don't they wear the kimonos to work? Why suit and tie?

Have you seen white people wearing the cultural dresses of other groups anywhere. Why do other groups seem to wear the White's dresses?

The modern world belongs to the west. Whether you admit it or not is up to you. I'm out of this threat

igbesachick:
well, if you live long enough, in the following 50 years, china will prove you are wrong.

British invented bicycles, but chinese produce 99% today, and possess all the famous brands and technologies.

and tons of other examples.
