going back to the basics Cultural values as been described as an important attribute that all Africans must protect no matter the circumstances they find themselves. Our culture, today in Africa, has been exchanged for Western culture and other imported cultural beliefs from other regions of the world. It is high time Africans stood up and go back to the basics and bring back our rich cultural heritage. Youths of Africa must be proud to wear African dress wherever all over the world, and we must always be good ambassadors of African cultural values protection. It can then be seen all over that we derive much more joy in wearing African attires than in wearing imported clothing. It is up to us as African youths.
