Culture may be defined in a simple form as a set of traditions that are unique to a group of people in a society, which set them apart from other groups. It can also be defined as the Way of Life of a group of people in a society. The theory of culture is a little more complex, however, when we talk about culture within culture, otherwise known as sub-cultures. It could actually be said to start with the basic individual ‘ways of life’ that make one person unique from the next person. Then we take it to the next level of family culture that binds a family together, differentiating its members from the next family in the community. Next up, there is the community culture, which sets one community apart from the next community within an ethnic group. And, of course, every ethnic group within a country is different from the next one in many ways, because each has unique ways of life called culture, made up of peculiar traditions or customs. And then, there is the culture of a country, in this case Nigeria, which sets us apart from Ghana and the other nations in West Africa. Specifying West Africa is to say that there are certain cultural traits that you find to be common among West African nations, which set them apart from people of other regions of Africa. Then, finally, we have the African Culture, being special ways of life that are commonly found among Africans, making us distinctly different from Americans, Asians, Indians, and people from the other regions of the world.
