Originalsly:
Is it Black Americans that are celebrating at the Prom Party? If not why have they become the topic? In your research about Black Americans when were they ever on top to fall to the bottom? ... when they were enslaved? Enlighten us ... unless you want to keep us in the dark.

@ topic . About what percentage of these graduates attend universities?....and remain after two years? They should have a list of the graduates .... and their grades.
The school produced one of the highest UTME/JAMB scorers of 2023/4. The belief that top secondary schools don't produce grads with stellar grades is misplaced.

Lolz.
The way Nigerians are copying everything Americans including the vices, in no distant time, school shootings will be a thing. From sagging, tattoos, braiding, white socks over flip-flops, Halloween, Black Friday, babymama syndrome and now down to prom; prepare for the worst case scenario in future.

Lol at the quoted. You’re using the internet, a phone, or a laptop 😀 tools your shallow mind couldn’t even conceive of if you were given a billion years.😁

For your information: all cultures have mixed and many have been erased entirely. The Anglo-Saxons were absorbed by the Normans. Gaul was swallowed by the Romans and eventually became France. The Arabian Peninsula saw countless local cultures wiped out and replaced with Islamic culture. This is not unique to Africa, that's how history works.

Africa’s tragedy is that we were isolated for much of history. While other continents were exchanging ideas, technologies, and institutions, raising the collective “technological floor”.. large parts of Africa were cut off by geography, thick forests, and poor navigable connections. Yes, we had great empires: Mali, Songhai, Benin, Aksum.. but make no mistake, we were no match for the great empires of other continents by the time we made contact with the west. The gap wasn’t racial it was a result of our consequences living in thick, inpenentrable enclaves.

Also cultural contact, even assimilation, isn’t inherently bad. The bad part is that we, as blacks, are too lazy and too distracted (distracted by crying and irrelevance) to use the leverage we have now, leverage our ancestors never dreamed of. The internet. Free access to global knowledge. Technology and education the world shares far more openly than in the past.

The Chinese were colonized, carved up, and humiliated, yet they rose by using the tools available to them. The Japanese were obliterated by two atomic bombs, but they didn’t waste decades hating the West..no, they rebuilt and now sit as equals at the table of power.

I implore my fellow blacks to start our own Renaissance, lets fast-track ourselves into that precarious committee of nations as equals, not as perpetual beggars for arms and aid. The constant ritual of blaming whites for how we failed is humiliating, self-defeating, and beneath the dignity of any people who claim they want respect.
This man, you deserve the award for best comment on the Internet for the entire year 2025. You are too much. I thought I was the only one who thought the way it seems you too think!

Prom party in Nigeria!!! 🤣😂🤣😂

I have been doing some research about Black Americans and how they happen to fall at the bottom despite their years of existence in the USA.

In my findings, I got to realize they massively adopted everything that was sold to them, that a majority of White that sold it to them detest.

Let’s starts from Prom, Blacks are mostly intoxicated by this Prom. Drillz celebrating violence are being promoted by White record labels to instigating them against one another. Where killing/hats is now a gold medal.

When will blacks realize that a Caucasian can never sell anything good to them. How do you believe the White man would have told you about Jesus if he was TRULY the way to salvation and eternal life.

Those guys will only sell what will brain wash you, reduce your population, decimate your family, or make you sterile.

In 2025, our race still asleep, and these foolishness we passing on to kids.
They didn’t just throw away their culture completely and embraced someone else’s but also hated their culture.

What a dummy way to live a life.

Prom Is not just a party; it’s a cultural statement
Prom is not a tool. It’s a culture.
And before we rush to embrace another people’s culture, we must first ask: why?

History teaches us that Western societies have long borrowed from African cultures such as music, fashion, dance , but they usually take only what positively enriches their lives. That is wisdom. They protect their core identity while selecting from others.

Don’t we celebrate the Japanese for their ingenious creatives today. But do these people lost touch with their culture in anyway. So, you should stop mixing things up.

In the West today, cultural alienation is a real concern. Even the mighty Greeks, at one point, lost their cultural grip when their language declined, and their people migrated away. Culture is fragile when neglected.

Just recently I saw something bizarre at Ojude Oba this year, some participants came dressed fully in Western attire at a deeply traditional Yoruba celebration. That is not a small choice. It’s a statement. Whether intentional or not, it says: I prefer another people’s identity over my own.

I had asked myself why did the lady bother showing up in that ceremony when she clearly pointed out from her dress that she detested her culture? Why?

Did you see on the TV recently when a group of African leaders went to the White House in the US and how Trump was ridiculing one of them ?

Tell me if that man has spoken in his own language, would that have happened?

That incident showed clearly that the African leader bargaining power was very low. That wouldn’t have happened if the dignitaries were Asians. Trust me.



Lots of you appreciate western culture today because west promoted it with all that they have.

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with adopting aspects of other cultures. Technology? Innovation? Art? , we should embrace them. But when the purpose has no real benefit to the people, it’s not cultural enrichment. It’s brainwash. It’s low self-esteem at its best.

Ask yourself what are we gaining from replicating the Prom ceremony?

Do the Benin people not have beautiful traditional outfits?
Do we lack electrifying songs and dances that could be celebrated instead?

When we replace our own beautiful traditions with imported ceremonies, we risk becoming strangers in our own homes.
Protect the essence of our society. Borrow wisely. Preserve strongly .


I leave you with this video watch and you can understand the beauty of when you cherish your own culture.

What has Jesus got to do with this?

What exactly do you have against the Person of Jesus?
What evil has Jesus done to anybody including yourself?
Why bring Jesus into a vain culture orchestrated by Satan!

THIS SAME JESUS is WAITING for YOU!
Salvation is a CHOICE and an EMERGENCY!

NO JESUS! NO LIFE!
KNOW JESUS! KNOW LIFE!
NO JESUS! NO PEACE!
KNOW JESUS! KNOW PEACE!

My message of love for you!
Jesus taught me to love my neighbour as myself and EVEN LOVE MY ENEMIES!!

Matthew 5:44-45
But I say unto you, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, BLESS them that curse you, DO GOOD to them that hate you, and PRAY FOR THEM which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

That ye may be the CHILDREN OF YOUR FATHER which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

I use to have a love interest who work as a teacher in this school, no wonder we don't talk that much.

I hope the teacher are also well taken care of as it's obvious the students are having the best of their lives.

Researcher, your 'research' which is fueled your racist tendencies is bullshit.

*Whites don't detest prom.
*Black record labels promote black music and they're the way they are because of single parenthood which they celebrate.
* Jesus Christ is TRULY the ONLY way to salvation.

These days, students are proud to show off material things but not proud to show off their grades.

I know that exam is not the true test of knowledge and grades shouldn't be used to measure intelligence sometimes. But someone who calls himself a student and is organising an event in the name of being a student should confidently display his school results.

In most of Nigerian universities these days, even the people that cannot explain their final-year projects topics rent expensive cars to sign out after writing their final year exams. We are now in a generation where secondary school students will absolutely rely on malpractice for junior WAEC exam and go ahead to throw an expensive party to celebrate having written the exam.

Is the older generation not also more keen to see physical projects as good governance outcomes rather than the employment of teachers and other civil servants, who are well paid to provide free basic education for all children, as well as other services and utilities?

So what should we do to make amends huh

Which results are you talking about?
The ones most of them get through all manners of cheating, expo, sorting, and malpractice?

Most of us studied hard back in the day and looked ahead to face the future.

Na their parents we go blame. Unfortunately, our generation is their parents. We failed woefully in parenting.


Bros, we failed as parents.

Arabs are doing the same thing to nigerian muslims. They've turned their brains upside down. Our people have been brainwashed to the point of seeing anything African as evil.
Quote one thing the Arab sells to the Nigerian Muslims that indoctrinate them please.

The Muslims follows the doctrine of the holy Quran, hadiths and ijmai (Islamic jurisprudence) all over the world.

I know you will start telling me what a Hausa Fulani person does in the north but you will fail to check whether every other Muslims does that in the South.

If a Hausa Fulani man commit offence it is terrorism because maybe he is a Muslim but if another man commits same offence in the South it is just hooliganism and his religion has nothing to do with it.
Hypocrisy doesn't erase truth and only the truth saves and results to proper resolution of social menace.
