Why, Why, Why, do they worship whites so damn much? Is this part of Nigerian culture? it's really sad and embarrassing to black people all over. Is this a great achievement for Nigerians? The ancestors must be rolling in their graves with shame.

Culture Vultures.

Id say its lack of exposure. Do you know some Nigerians call Chinese, Indians, and Lebanese( Arabs) master?

eyinjuege:
Nigerians are still one of the most travelled groups of blacks in the world.
Many have seen it, and experienced the cultures of others well. Its funny calling Nigerians unexposed. Ridiculously funny. What country are you from btw?
It would be interesting to know.

Jaqenhghar:
Travel is one thing. Being exposed is another. When travelling is seen as a status symbol does that sound like exposure to you? Dont get butthurt my friend. If you look at the percentage of those who travel its small compared to the total population

eyinjuege:
Nigerians still travel a lot compared to a lot of other countries, including the so called western countries. The % of Americans who travel is equally not as impressive either compared to their population. Save for the Europeans who used to be seamen and travellers.
Nigerians are still very open to experiencing other people's cultures.
Travel brings exposure to a whole new world other than yours. Travel and exposure walk hand in hand. Travel gives exposure to other cultures- cuisine, dressing, language, and general way of life.
It brings a different perspective. That is what exposure is. It's not about your education, your social status. I'm not sure where travelling is seen as a status symbol, but i don't think it's in Nigeria. Nigerians travel a lot, and I'm not even talking of rich ones. They travel in search of greener pastures. Which may not be green afterall, but we travel. Especially those who have no status symbol at all at all

Jaqenhghar:
Going by your logic, the fulani man in the bush who travels on foot all over West Africa should be exposed and not embracing a lifestyle that has no place in the 21st century.
Do you know that for many Nigerians shopping in shoprite is a big deal... something to celebrate and put up on facebook. We are talking of people who are still in awe about a white man befriending them. Do you call that exposure?

[s]Nigerians are always happy to share their culture with others.[/s]
[s]It would have been the same reaction were it an African American, Ghanian, Arabian family that did same.
We enjoy it when others promote our culture. It has nothing to do with a lack of self esteem, but rather an assurance in ourselves and our culture.
We don't go about shouting cultural appropriation unwarrantedly. We don't weep when others wear our clothes, because we understand we also wear the clothes of other cultures. We understand there's life beyond our backyards.
The clothes look good on the white family. Really nice on both their ladies and men. They look regal, as our traditional clothes will make anyone. Beautiful.
If you're not happy white men are wearing our clothes or other races, and will make an issue out of it, that's all on you.
Even when we wear our traditional clothes, we still celebrate ourselves. It's not today you will see pictures of Nigerian groomsmen and bridesmaids in traditional attire litter our cyber space. We acknowledge them and move on. Same as the case here. How some people will turn it into a race bashing thing shows how much of a dark place they are in.

When African Americans wear African Garb it's always the Nigerians who are complaining about it. You don't weep when others wear your clothes if said others are non-black.
