As you mock people for “kung’oa” and teach your kids speaking native tongues is primitive, serious researchers are working overtime to preseve them.

What cultures ?
African cultures are in the final phases of death.
We cling on to bits and pieces and shreds of what used to be our African culture’s
Mostly those claiming to be keeping to those cultures are those who didn’t get opportunity to become wealthy enough to dump them and “westenize” .
Next…
The future is a mix of world cultures. Hii mambo ya kusema “stick to your culture” may have made sense 300yrs ago, but leo umetupa mbao.
Today’s superpower the USA is a mix of cultures even will all their racism.
Kenya is a mix of cultures. If i look at my family members, everyone has a wife from a different tribe except those who grew up in the village.
So culture is an evolving term and stubbonly sticking to any is obsolete.
I didn’t say stick, I said respect it and appreciate. It served your forefathers for thousands of years.respecct means stop disparaging your roots
I agree with you on “Respect” part.
If a certain culture or language can’t be harnessed into financial benefit, it will surely die. Most parents make sure their kids learn cultures and languages that put them in a position to do advance financially
africans are way too comfortable with losing their culture and identity …

One day we’ll pay white people to teach us our culture. And then @MikeOck will see its economic value
low IQ issues… Thats why majority of africa have already abandoned their religions, names, speak foreign languages better than african ones etc. It is what it is.
they have been brainwashed to hate their own in the name of “civilization” we can see it manifest even on this forum
during the MAUMAU , such information wld be helpful… dnt think their study of your language is for your own good… during a local insurgence , guess how your communication codes in your deep venarcula languages will be deciphered…
Noo, i dont think its necessarily true. Many africans do it without understanding, i think its low IQ… The first europeans to come to Africa were portuguese and when they landed in 1400s in the Kingdom of Congo, the local rulers adopted christianity from their free will and then infact started forcing the whole kingdom to adopt it. This is what africans have been doing for hundreds of years, giving up their own identity for others. Again i believe its because of low IQ. I dropped my european name a long time ago.
Pardon mg ingnorance, but did you reax fhag from a colonialist? So in your understanding, a ruling class whose religion placed them at the pinnacle of social organization, voluntarily gave that up for a foreighn religion that placed them at the bottom of the rung. That’s what your functioning, fully-formed brain believes to be unquestionable facts??
What if I hypothetically attacked a people and told them that their god on earth had bowed down to my imaginary god. How much quantifiable bragging rights would that give me in pockets of resistance holdouts that just can’t seem to let me willingly gang bang them impudently??
really look up the portuguese and the kongo kingdom… The ruling class of the kongo kingdom adopted christianity and tried to make Angola like Portugal culturally. The ruling king baptised himself to João I of Kongo and him and his son Afonso I of Kongo tried to convert the kingdom of congo so it would culturally resemble Portugal. The effects worked as today in Angola many have full portuguese names unlike in other african countries were we still retain our african last name. The current president of Angola has the name: João Manuel Gonçalves Lourenço.
i’m sure they did that willingly, there was no superior weaponry in comparison to fighting tactics that was in play there.
Umeongea kama watu kumi.
Op ought to come to terms with the fact that the country is progressively becoming multicultural and the views of our ancestors that negated marrying from different tribes is long overdue. Alot of millennials and Gen Z are a product of intertribal marriages who’s parents didn’t not necessary speak in their native tongue for obvious reasons of easier communication. When the children attend school, they are taught in English and Swahili hence a youthful population of people who communicate in English, Kiswahili or a mix of both (sheng).
Regardless of the stated facts, I highly advocate for one to try and learn atlist one of their native language just to keep in touch with the heritage. Personally I’m attending Kikuyu classes to accustom myself with my father’s culture and personal growth.
They did it willingily, there were no fightings against Portuguese and only later but at time which they had already willingily adopted portuguese culture and religion. Remember that the portuguese were the first europeans to africa and at that time there were no superior weapons. That is why the portuguese never had more colonies unlike the other which came to Africa once they had gotten superior weapons and started to colonise in that way. The portuguese focused on trade for a long time and only when the other european countries developed new weapons they also started to use those to further colonise Angolan interiors and Mozambique.
you really drunk the koolaid bro
Multiculturalism is nothing new. Greece borrowed from Egypt, Rome borrowed from Greece, Britain borowed from Rome, America borrowed from Britain. But just what is African culture? Here in EA for example would you say we are culturally homogenous? Just across the border our cousins in TZ couldn’t be any more different than us despite speaking the same language. Same story with UG, Rwanda and Burundi. A few similarities but barely anything in common. What about countries like Morocco and Algeria and Egypt? What is their African culture? Does it fit with ours? If they mixed would you say we have lost our way and vice versa? I think some of these issues are easy to talk about generally but quite difficult to define and categorize. What I know is that culture is always fluid, holding onto it tightly isn’t always in our best interests.
