My question is, are you denying that there are usually inbuilt governance or judicial channels in culture?
I am pushing the argument that culture needs to be reviewed and brought up to date with out social reality.It shouldn't be static and should be adopted them based on the experiences of past times. It needs to be constantly reworked.

The other thing, when one says plugged, it does not mean plugged per se , but rather it means favouring the courts instead of the cultural institutions.It can be likened to another kind of voting for its ouster by not using it.

So much for "African Values"! And Africans will point fingers at other cultures when they are no better.

Like such revelations are new and shocking?

Oh please!

More to confess I say!
