Culture or something else....

Do not hide behind culture to perpetuate €vil. You are just a dark soul by nature, it is not culture. An over bearing mother or mother-in-law is not backed culturally... She just loves to be troublesome in her children's life. Some group of men gathering to strip a widow all her marital pproperties is not culture... They are simplly €vil wicked, poverty-stricken souls who lack empathy and mostly influenced by what they keep seeing in Naija films. Giving your children some life time trauma is not culture... It is you who needs to heal. A man who abuses and maltreat his wife is not culture... You are simply a weakling who couldn't wait to exercise some misbehavior birthed probably from trauma. Masquerades peeling off people's skin with razor inserted canes is not culture... It is the abnornmalities we nurtured.

No culture exist to harm it's own people... If yours does, then by all means, resist and fight to scrap it off. A lot of practices that were later seen to be harmful were changed or modified... That is how culture works. We are humans first, not beasts. Some people are naturally attrached to wickedness and the idea of inflicting pain on others.

Culture is for the people and not the people for culture.

I am here to say, stop hiding behind culture to perpetuate any evil. Know the difference.

Also... Those who juge an entire people by the actions of a few should learn to identify what is cultural and what is evil.
