Where actually do we draw the line to these absurdity and nudity in the name of culture?
I think its high time, someone stood up against these so called cultural immodesty. The limits must be set for some of these extremity and display of nudity, all in the guise of culture?
One facebook user, identified as comrade Osiki Odion posted the above photos on his timeline yesterday. Alleging that it depicts a cultural event as practised in his hometown in Edo state.
Ask him if he would allow his daughters and wife appear in such nude manner.. Your guess is as good as mine!
According to him, the above pictures which I consider 'obscene' are excerpts from Edo State's "Manhood" celebration event held on the 29th of October, in Iuleha land in Uzebba, of Edo State.
It is the above pictures I wish to critically comment upon. According to Odion, he prided and called it a rich culture, but I contend on the contrary, that it is rather a display of nudity, an exploitation of the feminine gender, a subjugation of the female gender, an abuse of womanhood, a gender bias, concocted due to the irrationality of our immorality masculine mindset.
The question that readily comes to mind is: What do we learn from these? Don't you think such cultures should be abolished, choked and in the words of David Hume- a British Philosopher, "It should be cast into flames " and be considered as barbaric rather than a display of cultural aesthetics?
These are my subjective opinion. But you tell me what your take is.
