“A sick mind produces sick solutions” - Dr Amos Wilson

“What is Eurocentric education? What is an African-centered education? Eurocentric education is one centered around the past, present, and future of Europe and European people where ever they reside. Which considers European people’s culture and concerns to be of pre-eminent and of virtual exclusive importance and that of other people’s history, culture and concerns to be of little or no or only of secondary importance. It is education whose primary concern is the maintenance of European socioeconomic, political, cultural domination of the world. The European does not plan to give up their position in the world. They cannot afford to. We have to keep that in mind. Therefore, a Eurocentric education is designed to maintain their domination of African people. It mainly functions to maintain European economic domination, military domination, technological supremacy, cultural prestige, control of information, its collection processing, interpretation, definition and distribution, and control of the consciousness of the people.”

“How Do Africans Kiss?” by Zina Saro-Wiwa.

Whether an instinctive display of affection or a learned lust-filled mannerism, one thing is for sure: kissing, as we know it, is taboo in many African cultures. 

In this Q&A format-style documentary by British-Nigerian filmmaker Zina Saro-Wiwa, what may seem like a slightly absurd question is posed to an array of individuals from around the continent (but presumably based in the diaspora) with some interesting perspectives on the cultural influences of love and its physical manifestations.
