Nigerians Are Scared Of Yemoja But Love Little Mermaid. They Say Sango Is Evil, But Thor Is Their Hero.

I found this beautiful Write up on gist.am that is both funny and interesting. I thought I share it here.

Nigerians are scared of Yemoja but love Little Mermaid. They say Sango is evil, but Thor is their Hero. They adore storm but don’t want anything to do with Oya or Amadioha. They are in love with Aquaman but hate Olokun and Osun. We have been brainwashed to hate ourselves and love our en-slavers.

This encapsulates what our lives are about in Africa, yet we cry that Oyinbo people don’t respect us. To the majority, charity doesn’t begin at home. Nothing else excites us as much as foreign traditions and cultures.
