Which Counter Productive & Bizarre Culture In Nigeria That Should Be Banned?

To nip cultism & ritual practice in the bud in Nigeria & Africa, we have to address the underlying factors paving way to the needs, significance or better quote "the redundancy of culture" as the word "culture" has been over stretched to lose its essence and tasting in Africa such that no new generational nor millennial would want to entertain the out of place sour word "culture".

It is obvious that there is almost no organisation nor social gathering in Africa today that does not harbour the interest of obscured cultural structure, tradition & occult practice which to me has been a reference for set back and evolution in Nigeria & Africa at large. Our blind & myopic traditional practice has for ages been our centre piece for retrogression. The kidnapping, the get rich quick desperation syndrome through ritual killings, the blood letting in our political pursuits and expeditions; all are the accents of our preservation of obscured, obsolete and archaic cultural values.

From our corporate establishment, government offices, schools, tertiary institutions & ministries, religious establishments such as churches, mosque & traditional body Nigeria has had her bitter tasting over the years in this turbulent pathway. For the purpose of enlightenment, I will like us to expose the bizarre, mind bugling & archaic mouth gaping culture that we know should never be allowed in our social life as civilization demands of us. I know in Nigeria and the rest of the entire African countries no tribe nor country nor religion is exempted from this mouth gaping reality.

Lets come out of the euphoria or delusions of what we hear in the everyday news & media or what Nollywood project at us and states the facts for what it is. It is obvious that some custodians of culture, royalties, religious bodies, community leaders & politicians are behind these heinous counter productive culture which if not address in the shortest while could make the hope of duplicating an American liberty society an expedition of mirage & delusion or a wishful conception for the next 500 years in Africa.

As ugly as it is, imagine the ritual surrounding royalty in Africa to sit, crown or deposed a king or to appease the gods from time to time whereby fresh human heads are often priced? cases of missing persons who have been lost or found their way into the arms of ritualist dismembered in the hope of making quick money as we brandish it "yahoo plus" selling human body parts, pants & bra? Imagine cases whereby you have goats or cow are requested to renew marriage rites or whereby outrageous amount are requested from a man proposing marriage as part of list requirement as if the bride in-laws meant to acquire a landed property in the city? The ugly list is endless in Africa

Share with us which ugly culture you think should never be allowed a breathing space in Africa that will always stand in the way of civilization & mention the tribe that practice this ugly culture.

Birthing of multiple children in the North.
Young marriage amongst the illiterate. Where I live it’s a young male [12 years old and a little older] tying the knot with a female of the same age. No money to train both children means they should birth more illiterates.
Tribal marks given to unwilling children. That s-hit was fun pre-colonization but is outdated and cruel these days.

bro are you sure you are from Nigeria or possibly from Lebombo or Lobamba in Eswatini cos this things you have mentioned up here does not seem to exist anywhere in the Northern Nigeria even if the public marriage of underaged girls were a trend in the Northern Nigeria. Believe me, most Northern women are already coming out to speak against this
