RE: Weird Christmas Traditions You Never Knew Existed

in #christmas3 months ago

Interesting compilation and very informative :-))

I didn't know Krampus was Santa's cousin 😅

I also find it very strange and deeply disturbing that some people in Nigeria resort to beating others in public simply because they refuse to give them their hard-earned money or show appreciation for a performance? What? Did that really happen?

Sort:  

Thank you. I'm really glad you read this. ☺️

Yeah, beating of innocent people in Nigeria really happens. It's really disturbing and it's mostly women that are beaten. People have been advocating to stop these practices but it's not like they're ever listened to before.

And what performance? The ones they make weird noise and rotate in the air? Or creating fear in the mind of passers-by? I don't see anything worth rewarding in their performance.

Women are beaten up everywhere Nigeria isn't an exception and the only ones who can change this are women! But the thing about women is they keep their mouth shut and aren't loyal to other women. If mothers abused themselves keep this tradition high and don't kick some sense into their sons it will never stop.
No way my son would ever dare to behave this way and I will not accept it from anyone. I told my children this: I put you in this world and I have the right to kick you out of it as well. This doesn't mean I agree that my well-behaved children should let manipulated and abuse themselves by the bullies and greedy ones. Trust me there's no one who l likes to see me angry and if teachers or other adults are too scared to act I will. I don't belong to the people who will wait, pray, hope for a change and I don't warn forever. I left that time long behind me. People don't change no matter what they say. They only act differently depending on whom they interact with.

They are rewarded, aren't they? If you get away with this behaviour that's the reward plus they always come up with 1001 excuses and of course the "but I really love you".

Do you know that most women are killed in their own home and by someone they know? That is what I call disturbing.

He is not, he is the helper of Saint Nicholas who isn't Santa Claus the commercial guy of coca-cola.
