Brainwashing



I checked the dictionary for the definition of brainwash, not satisfied I came up with mine -
Brainwashing is when you don’t let your child watch “Fadeyi-Oloro” but buy them “Harry Potter”, “Merlin” and “Legend of the Seeker”
Brainwashing is when you glue yourself to the TV to get the latest designs from Kim Kadeshia before buying or sewing a fabric to cover your body
Brainwashing is when you don’t buy made in Nigeria goods until it is taken abroad for repackaging
Brainwashing is when you call yourself a tourist and visit villages all over the world but you never go home to your village
Brainwashing is when you criticise Arugungun Fishing Festival and New Yam Festival but hail and participate in Halloween and Notting Hill Festival
Brainwashing is when your parents named you Ngozi meaning Blessing and you change it to Linda meaning snake
Brainwashing is when God created you black but you bleach your skin to be white
Brainwashing is when you think a beauty cream made from cocoa nut oil is better than the natural cocoa nut oil and spend #80,000 for a cup
Are you still original or have you been brainwashed?
