Erotic and Procreative functions: Throughout life, many women of West and Central Africa wore strands of beads around their waists to emphasize their figures and their procreative role.

I want the chiefs to know that they have themselves to blame if young men of today do not respect them and the skins they occupy. Most of them have thrown the dignity of their skins away for whatever it is that I do not know. The very chiefs raised us in homes that abhorred thieves and crime of all kind – whether computer stealing or window breaking; stealing is stealing. We grew up with this mindset only to be disappointed by some of the very people who taught us that virtue. Today what do...
