Stopping provincial days is an insult
THE recent announcement by the prime minister to abolish provincial day celebrations is the lowest the government can go and could be avoided.
It is an insult and a disaster to our indigenous cultural beliefs and traditions and an absolute disgrace to our tribal identity.
We celebrate provincial days in songs, dances, feasts and cultural displays.
Who is the PM to tell us to stop?
This is madness. Its murder to our traditional heritage.
We have done so with no harassment and intimidation to anyone until a specific ethnic group decided to spoil the party for everyone.
The PM has a duty to discipline the provincial group responsible for any upheaval, but to tell us to abruptly stop practicing our traditional culture is absurd.
The PM’s words are not gospel and should be retracted.
His words will disintegrate this nation into obliteration as people throw away their traditional practice and beliefs.
We love our traditions, our mother tongue, our totems and our culture.
It is your duty to stop foreigners from producing and selling provincial flags during independence eve (Sept 16) annually as this period is reserved for the national day celebrations. This is certainly not the way to go!
Full stop PNG

I support the Prime Minister’s decision to abolish provincial days in Port Moresby. If you want to celebrate your provincial day, then you better go to your own provinces. For instance if you are from Sepik and reside in lae and wanted to celebrate sepik day go back to wewak and celebrate there, not at Lae…..
In case you haven’t noticed, the so called Provincial Day is the source of unnecessary law and order problem in the city like Port Moresby. If you want to celebrate your indigenous primitive cultures, go back to your origin and celebrate to the fullest. Towns and cities are where the sensible people live and not the wild animals who misbehave and create all sorts of unnecessary problems under the pretext of celebrating the provincial days. The Prime Minister is right to say this and will stop this madness once and for all.
This celebration promotes ethnicity and regionalism and surely defeats the slogan ” one people, one national, one country”.
PDC is not the way to take back PNG, Jesus is the only way, PMJM you are on the right track, customarily beliefs, can not take back PNG, only if you walk in the footsteps of our Lord & Savior……..we can become the first black richest nation in the world, difficult to belief but with God all things are possible….
