Shocking Revelations: The Story of a Man Who is a Slave since Birth

I don't get it! I just don't get it! How can a people hate themselves so much that they allow themselves to imbibe theories that cast aspersions at their history, their origin and their ancestors?

Being called Nze, Ozo, Ichie, Nana, Lolo, is so wrong, but you are happy to be called Knight, Sir, Count, Countess. The Oba of Benin or Asantehene cannot touch you or bless you, but you are happy to be Knighted by the Queen of England. Corporate has stopped meaning "to be business-like in your outlook" and now means wearing a suit even under the hottest weather conditions of Sub-Saharan Africa. 

Table etiquette is when you avoid the barbaric behavior of eating with your bare hands/fingers, and not talking while you are on the dining table. Yet they say that most of the biggest business deals of the 21st century have been sealed over meals - No be talk dem go talk to seal am?

To drink palmwine is a sin but red wine (which contains as much as 15% alcohol) is used for communion, while the hypocrites and the ignorant happily lift up holy hands half drunk.

You say that couples who have been married under the custom of their people are living in sin because they have not gone to perform a 5,000 to 10,000 dollar ritual typical of another man's culture?
 Barney, elf and fairy godmother are learning tools, but the masquerade from your village is an occultic symbol.
 You celebrate Xmas but you cannot and will not celebrate the new yam festival. Now Halloween has been celebrated in Ghana for the 4th consecutive year...

How long o Africa?! How long?! How long will you diss the history and achievements of your fathers? When will you stop making yourselves second class?

If there's anything that is meant to be corrected, let us correct it. But stop acting like our ancestors were failures.
