TATTOOED@18

I always LAUGH whenever I see Ladies displaying some "Strategic Parts" of their bodies for everyone to see their TATTOOS as if they've just invented "Micro-Chips" that can prevent the Sun from emitting Heat and causing Climate-Change. Tattoo isn't new and shall someday be "Old Fashioned" once more.
My Grand-Mum and her Generation had TATTOO but my Mum and her Generation saw it as "Archaic". Go to any hinterland and villages from Benue State down South of Nigeria and check any woman 90years and above to confirm what I'm saying. Then check our Mums between 50-75years residing in Urban and Semi-Urban areas to see if there are any Tottoos on thier bodies.
So it beats me silly when anyone EXPOSES part of his/her body that's "MORALLY" and "COMMON-SENSICALLY" supposed to be covered, just because he/she want to display more than a "CENTURY OLD" Fashion that our Fathers and Mothers with all their "OLD-SCHOOLNESS" mocked our Grannies on.
I bet anyone with TATTOO now that they shall someday be MOCKED by their Grand-Kids, if not their own Kids.
Fashion had and must always be a MOVING-TRAIN (TREND), anyone that makes it a STATIONARY-MARK(PERMANENT) on his/her Body shall live to REGRET IT someday.

My second issue which's not that quite different from the first, is this 18years (Cut-Off Age) for EVERYTHING.
We've so "locked our look" on USA and its other Western sister-nations that we seem to forget completely the REALITY ON GROUND in our own Society. Nigeria and many other African nations should be charged and prosecuted for PIRACY because of their high rate of COPYING NONSENSE from other Climes. We so COPY all their EVILS "Hook-Line-Sinker" without any recourse to our African Peculiarities. Why do we love deceiving ourselves that an 18year old American is same with 18year old Nigerian?????
How many 18year old Nigerians can walk up to his/her parents and tell them that he/she wanna have a talk with them about his/her intention of moving out of their family house???? How old was Rihanna, Beyonce, Michael Jackson, Jay-Z, etc when people started celebrating them globally???? Or have we forgotten that our Rulers have made our environment in Nigeria so harsh "ECONOMICALLY" that human now develops too LATE in our Society. Why do Nigeria use men that are over 25years for Under-16 Football Competition? Why do Nollywood still cast "Aki and Paw-Paw" as under-13s in their Movies? Why do Taye Taiwo and his twin brother claim different age in different society???
My former Branch Manager was a 24year old American trained French guy but he would've passed for a 45year old African if he were painted "Black". All I'm saying here is that the "Gulf-Wide" difference in the Economic situations of the Western world to that of Africa have also made "Heaven to Earth" difference in their 18year olds. While most 18year old in Nigeria are still "Daddy's Kids" and "Mommy's Pets", their counterparts in USA are already "Men and Women"!!
Therefore, let's recognise this "Ocean-Wide" difference in the "Mental Capabilities and Developments" of these two sets of people and stop this CLASSIFICATION of Movies and Some TV-programmes like BIG BROTHER AFRICA "18 and above" as our Analytical Strength and Reasoning are quite different. Can any reasonable parents in Africa allow their 18year old son or daughter to participate in this Ignoble BBA???
Please let's STOP this Unnecessary Exposure of our "Kid-Men" and "Kid-Women" in the name of "Reality TV-Shows" and 18+ Tag!!!!
