100%African said:A typical African values kids because we believe that a man is not complete if he doesn't have children to carryon his legacy. You would often hear men talking about struggling and working so hard so that they can educate and bring up their kids properly. In fact the strongest driving force for marriage is to raise legitimate kids. A man's pride is his kids. A typical African would not brag about his wealth or assets but would rather tell you about his children and their level of education and their occupation. Look at a typical obituary in a local paper here and you would see a complete listing of the mans kids and their occupation and where they work. You would often her phrases like he is a big man all his kids are university graduate, some are doctors, lawyers, engineers etc etc.
Despite the negative opinions on African cultures, I've always had a genuine respect for them, mainly because out of all the cultures in the world, the African cultures tend to be a lot less materialistic.
