Celebrating everyone's culture
A lens in perceiving the world
a creation of shared meaning
transmitted from one generation
to another, through social learning.

A kind of lifestyle experience
embracing a belief system it is
a mechanism that allows humans
make sense of the world around.

Culture! judged by its context
places higher value on co-operation
effective communication encouraged
through acceptance of people's culture.

Thus when in Rome, act like Romans
when in the west, act like Yorubas
when in the north, act like Muslims
and when in Warri, act like Urhobos.

Hop into Africa and act like Africans!
