@spearhead_af: Why Africans Didn't Give Up Our Tasty Food for C*lonial Slop Adaeze M. Nwadike, founding editor of Arts Lounge Literary Magazine, argues Africans didn’t give up their food like they did their religion and other cultural products because food isn’t abstract. What could Africa have become had we not adopted so much c*lonial slop? Drop us a comment. Video credit: @Adaeze Nwadike #AfricanFood #africanliberation #africanculture #africancuisine #fyp

Our ancestors were not good at documenting their spirituality, philosophies and innovative ideas. That’s is one of our downfall

I’ve thought about it, our traditional religion wasn’t bad at all … lots of it about nature. Yah animal sacrifices here and there but not this constant guilt trip, sinning, donating
