Colonization robbed us of a lot mehn. We now look at things that were originally ours and call them foreign. Tattoos and body modification have deep roots in African culture
Yorubas have tribal marks and facial scarification. Igbos have uli. Fulanis mark identity and beauty on their faces. A tribe in Sudan cover their entire bodies in patterns

You can mock Nigerian girls all you want for lacking communication skills, but the truth is that Nigerian society is generally hostile to honest conversation.
The more Nigerians you deal with, the more you notice a pattern: people avoid saying things directly. They deflect, suppress, and sidestep difficult discussions until, seemingly out of nowhere, there's an emotional outburst.
Many of our siblings, parents, lecturers, bosses, and peers exhibit this trait to varying degrees: avoid, deflect, avoid—then suddenly, get mad.
