I studied Archeology and the value and importance of culture was drummed into our ears.
Sadly, we are gradually picking cultures that aren't ours indigenously, we see it as fetish.
However, I understand it's the reality of the world we live in.
This was nicely articulated.
Definitely, our people can't even say anything about their own culture anyhow, some don't even know it.
But in all, our culture is our pride.
Thank you sir for engaging.
