The Positive Outreach

Your Language - Your Culture And Your Tradition.   To confuse a man, take away his identity. A man’s identity is his language, his culture, and tradition. In this day and age, many people are getting carried away embracing a new found culture – mostly the Western culture. The influence of the western culture on the continent of Africa cannot be overemphasized. The western culture in no doubt has its advantages but not without coming with the baggage of unfit and series of negative influence.
