  2. I really love and like how African child respect parents.
    You kneel down to your mother for getting blessings. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

  3. Tuning in from the 6th region. Africa needs hold a big fight sport event that has Dambe, Musangwe, Lamb, Zulu IMPI all under one roof. Introduce the audiences to these various arts. Its time to modernize these sports, formalize, codify and systematize.

  4. Thank you BBC for delving into the deep culture of Dambe. Feel the pounding rhythm of the drums as warriors clad in tradition unleash strikes, showcasing their mastery of this unique discipline. ❤👊🏾👊🏾

  5. The title is NIGERIA'S BRUTAL ART. Guess what all British sports are far more brutal. Their boxing , wrestling leads to death or brain dead situations even their football is laced with injuries.
    BBC — BRITISH BULLSHIT CONCOCTION. they cook up to destroy or denigrate
