Even in the USA , it is Igbo or Yoruba traditional clothes and Igbo music in 40% of all none Nigerian African wedding I attended in 2025. Not a bad anyways
Lols...

My own is, it's like today's African pesin has totally lost their sense.

They won't and never said all these nonsense when they were doing their useless, customless and meaningless white weddings where men dress like penguins and women like corpse. But na Nigerian traditional style (their fellow African own o) dem go carry their blockheads dey talk about...

Another proof the masses are totally useless...

What day did Abia started getting good leaders? Where were you when Ikpeazu, Orji Uzo and Theodore Orji ruined the state?

I am talking about this present governor being a good example. Others messed up the state.
Having a good leadership will always have a positive effect on any state.

I responded to you simply because you said we should give new people a chance. Instead of mentioning the new people you have in mind, you started spewing gibberish.

Amaechi was minister for 8 years under the 10 years of APC you are angry about. Malami was the Attorney General for 8 years under same APC. Atiku was Vice President for 8 years and was also a founding member of APC. Tambuwal was APC governor for 4 years and PDP governor for another 4 years. Peter Obi was governor for 8 years and he moved poverty from 25% to 53.8% in Anambra State.

So I ask again, who are the new people you’re proposing? Leave the pep talk and mention just three of them.
Let me help the hapless fellow, Kadoso. The 3 new people in his mind which he's so shy to disclose are
1. So

2. Wo

3. Re.

Capishe?

Africa has one culture and the Big Brother of Africa is Nigeria.
So there is nothing wrong in our fellow African brothers copying from their big brother, Nigeria.

YET WE ALL WEAR SUIT AND GOWN TO OUR CHURCH WEDDING AND NEVER HAVE THE EUROPEANS COMPLAINED.



DO U SEE THAT WE STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO BEFORE WE ARE ACTUALLY CIVILISED?
You already believe you are uncivilised and inferior. So anything you see in Africa, your brain wires it to match your complex.

Today it's fashion. Tomorrow it can be anything.

There's no shortage of 'reasons' to feel inferior to your oyinbo "master", once you've concluded in your head that you are.

HOPELESS PEOPLE DROWNED IN COMPLEX.

Is there anything wrong with what he said about bad leaders? Do we have good leaders? Is bad government not the main challenge of Nigeria from Independence to date? Why are you guys all behaving like zombies? May the type of leaders in Nigeria be your portion in your home, community, work place in Jesus Mighty name we pray Amen! Any man who loves the nose of a dog SHALL have it for dinner
If the leaders are as bad as you say, you'd be a village illiterate palmwine tapper like your grandpa under colonialism.

PAMPERED KIDS TYPING ON IPHONES ABOUT "Bad leaders".

DID YOUR GRANDAD UNDER COLONIAL RULE KNOW WHAT A PHONE WAS?

Could he read?

IF HE Wanted to Japa from his farm, did he know what an airport was, or where America was?

You can stand up today and announce "I'm off to America to work". YOUR NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT-PROVIDED EDUCATION has armed you with the knowledge, ability and confidence to go anywhere on Earth and prosper.

DID YOUR GRANDFATHER UNDER COLONIAL RULE HAVE THAT? NO.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAR YOU HAVE COME.

That's why you see only "bad leaders", when it was those "bad leaders" who lifted you from the village peasantry and illiteracy the British left your grandparents, by building thousands of public schools nationwide after independence. WITHOUT WHICH YOU WOULD BE A VILLAGE ILLITERATE TODAY, SINCE THE BRITISH BUILT NO PUBLIC SCHOOLS, AND LITERACY RATE WAS 5% AT INDEPENDENCE, AFTER 70 YRS COLONIAL PLUNDER.

That literacy figure is up to 75% now, despite a population explosion to 250 million, from 50 million at independence.

JUST ONE of many great achievements by those you call "bad leaders".

I don't owe you that; in fact, it would have been dumb for me to start mentioning names to you unless you are not a Nigerian. But you are right about something, though. I want the evil men that have destroyed the country out of power, but you want them to remain thats the difference between you and me. And yes, I hate them for destroying this country.
The people in the party you support (the same people you’re ashamed to mention) are part of those that destroyed the country. They are now out for good and trying to come back. We won’t allow them.

They shall remain perpetually outside of power and the people who have been trying to fix the country’s in the last 2.5 years will be supported to continue till 2031.

Now you have finally exposed yourself.
You are only another tool of the corrupted system.
The last 2.5 years have been the worst for the country. Your 2.5 years messiah has given the country worse outcomes than everyone before him since 1960. He is the worst of all unless we are talking about another country

But they have been comfortably wearing European white gowns to church all these while..

Shouldn't you all be happy that it's getting closer home..

Why the hate, dear fellow Africans (women!)..🤔🤔

Nigeria would be the first to liberate itself completely from the white folks.. we have done it with movies, we did in Music, now dressing.. next would be football..
It is called colonial slavery mentality!

Congolese, Kenyans, Ethiopians, Rwandans, etc are Up in Arms Over Their People Wearing NIGERIAN ATTIRE for their Weddings!

The new trend among Africans now, including diaspora Africans of the Caribbean and the USA, is to don NIGERIAN TRADITIONAL OUTFITS for their weddings, naming ceremonies, birthdays, etc.

Kenyan women are now ordering Aso Ebi and Gele for their weddings.

Same as Congolese, Ugandan, Tanzanian women, etc etc.

And some of their people are saying ''Enough is Enough. Where is our own culture? Nigeria will not swallow all of us in this Africa!''


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBkccjGMTOY
They should start by demanding that their leaders at all levels stop wearing European attires (shirts, ties, trousers, skirts, blouses, and even bras for the females). It's time to go back to wearing leopard skin and cow hide. Besides, where is the idea of free, personal choice?

I fully concur to your response....societal and not just leadership....presently I engage my workers base on contract unlike the regular working schedule. Why? Because they colluded thrice now and defrauded me despite fair salary of minimum getting X 3 minimum wage before the implementation by the government.....I have always said that most Nigerians aren't employable......Thanks



DeOTR:
You're almost right, except the fact that only accused only the leaders of wickedness. Have you tried empowering an average Nigerian and he acted differently than the leaders? The earlier we realized our problem is societal, not just leadership, we'll get there.
Re: ''Stop Wearing Nigerian Attire For Weddings!'' - Africans Alarmed By New Trend by wallrichy: 3:12pm On Jan 10
Sure, you are right about Nigeria but for your information, some countries in Africa uses their native languages to teach in School.....South Africa, Kenya for example are doing that already and most of those Northern Africa...however, we still need to do more in using our native languages to teach in our schools..... especially the junior classes....

Let me ask you a question? While you were in school, when you read at your own time, either preparing for exams or just normal reading of your notes. Do you consciously or unconsciously think In regards to what you just read, do you think of it in your tribal language or just as usual....English??



DeOTR:
But we don't use our mother tongues as our primary language of instruction in our schools, do we?
When you look at the first and second world countries and see which language they use in teaching in their schools and compare to how we do it in the third world, you'll realize why we're where we are today, in terms of technological advancement.

What da faq is Nigerian attire?

Yoruba attire. It’s not only foreigners doing this, even other Nigeria ethnic groups are now using Yoruba attire do their wedding.

Yoruba swag is supreme. It shows in all aspect of life so it’s normal to swallow inferior one up.

When they copy oyibo,no problem abi?
All these xenophobia against Nigeria is becoming much.
It's time we cleanse Nigeria of all these old and corrupt politicians.
The youth remains the true ambassadors of Nigeria.
They bring us accolades when it comes to sports, entertainment and ICT. But the old corrupt leaders bring us nothing but shame.

Use Abia state as a reference for good leadership.
But rather you guys prefer funny characters. Religion and tribalism is the root cause of hatred towards Peter Obi, that's just the simple truth.
Abia state? Are you kidding me?

Abia that is still paying 30k minimum wage??

My parents didn't buy the idea of speaking English to us at home. I grew up speaking my native tongue at home. English in school. So anything I read in English, I subconsciously translate to my language and process it.

That's the point. From experience, I've come to realize that most Nigerians will steal you blind if you allow them. The same way the politicians would like to steal money for their generation unborn is the same way the average citizens would like to steal from your business if you put them in charge without oversight.
I'd prefer to put Tinubu in charge of my money than leave it to those criticizing politicians.
