Each one of us whether we are majority or minority we have our own culture. Something that gives us our own identity, a sense of belonging and recognition. This is why many of us often retreat to our ethnic extractions when we are faced by a misfortune consulting the elders to get the better understanding of what has transpired.
This revolves around our day to day lives, marriage, burial, initiation and child naming ceremonies. Each segment of our culture has significance in its own and some of which, when ignored, will haunt us severely.
Forget about the new generation that has idealized what they see in media whether good or bad as far as it appeals to the majority. The ‘tough headed’ generation are easily brainwashed and that is why cases of radicalization and religions extremism are at large.
Very few have heeded to remain in line with what the culture demands. The society has reached a point where it is normal to kill your own culture for the sake of popular culture, as for as it is what the appreciates.

It also not lost on me that the dress code we see in the present day has nothing to do with our culture. 90% of them are foreign and through media and technology have been forced to us.
I wonder why a village girl from Alego Usonga, Tharaka Nithi, Nyandarwa would struggle to resemble Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez from Europe and Latin America.
Our youths and men who are supposed to be gentlemen or also in the bad business. Today is not a surprise to see a man pierced ears wearing earrings, worse enough they adore very tight clothes as they are competing for their female counterparts. This is a worrying trend because even in the professional field the same vice is slowly taking up.
We need to stay focused so that we should not be enslaved by the modernity and forget our past or our cultural identity.
