I love my Culture ; I love it so much . I like the hazy , dusty air that slaps my face on the way to my Town , I love the symphonies and words reflecting in my mind every time I see a brown rusted roof , I love the steep slow turn , the bragging bus driver and the little white cars flaunting their presence from side to side . I love all these things very much . They bring some sort of ethnicity to my veins . I can literally feel at home . I also like the top of the world feeling I get when reading a 1968 journal and how the sculptures and stories of Oduduwa , Moremi & all my heroic ancestral deities amaze , they seem more real to
31 me than the Avengers or Power Rangers . The heroism hidden behind their mysteriousness really baffle me . The pious adventures these deities went through seem more logical , spontaneous to me than any other teenage Superhero , but I agree this sort of “ mystic ideology ” would not be the same for every teenage mind wandering out there , not the same for those near nescient souls that cannot identify with their origin , an origin that identifies with their Culture , the culture that defines their societal representation & values , that wraps them in the palm leaves of identity security & the identity that places them on the footstool of reason , etiquette & vivid instilled morals .
Persistence ; not a thing of change , is an unwavering and a stern resolution towards something . This word can be fixated on living things , or an action verb which can be more inclined to a breathing identity , but cultures are breathing , and we can identify with them , so can we call them persistent in the contemporary world we live now ? Ask yourself ; ask me ; I ’ ll give you my answer .
