CITIZEN, ASEM AND NAMELESS MAN,why are you all primitive like that!!!. Why do you regard everything AFRICAN as primitive and backward??! Do you know what's involved?? Do you know no one is forced to participate??!! Is it just because the girls have their breasts exposed thats why you say the ceremony is primitive?? When western women and girls do that you term them >"celebrities:, fashionistas",diva and what have you!!Please read around and understand your african culture and heritage and stop judging us with the fake Eurosian (Caucasian) values. After all the whites have their nudist beaches and parks where they go stark naked and describe it as progressive and modern.
