Culture is one part of our pride we must not discard.

I hope some of them still have any significance in 25 years from now.

We have already discarded it. It's only a matter of time before you see such things no more.

Your culture is inside your language and beliefs. What you're seeing there isn't culture itself but an expression of it.

Culture is condensed language and beliefs. The thought algorithm that inspired the design, fabrics and the coloration is what culture is. It's unique to every region

Interesting. I love cultural events

OJUDE OBA is still the best, Egbas can't beat it

Yorùbá is extremely rich in culture….

It feels like the Egbas have taken a cue from the Ijebu, like the "Ojude Oba", in adding colour, pomp and pageantry to their festival.
