dayokanu:

Marks on face are way better than marks on the brain you carry about. No wonder grown men from your side tie wrapper like women.

Is that to cover their chronic hernia or what?

Mr Aboki:

[size=13pt]You see! This is why inbreeding is highly discouraged. [/size]

Candour: they've almost succeeded in turning this to another yoruba-Igbo bashing thread......me that is from one and married to an angel from the other,wetin make i do now

Pls tribal warlords,can't we enjoy this discussion in peace

Na beg i dey beg o

kofsy:
You see! To understand some people's culture in Nigeria, one have to start watching animal planet... Mr Aboki's culture inclusive :p

alutacontinua:

Some people are to engrossed in the tradition that they wouldn't go all 'rise rise' like that. They even want to notice if the two knees touch the ground very well. It doesn't mean they're bad mother-in-laws, though...that's just how they are.

coldgate: Hi,

I need clarification on this aspect of yoruba culture. When a daughter-in-law goes on her knees to greet a mother-in-law,
when is she expected to get up? Is a wife expected to kneel untill asked to rise? I am from an entirely different part of Nigeria where we only courtesy to show respect. Should the wife feel slighted when her actions are barely acknowledged? How should she proceed? Thank you!

Popup Blocker: Is Mr. aboki an ediot?

Ujujoan said she hates Yoruba people and you're asking another person why he's bitter?

Lol @ dayokanu wasting time to glorify him with a response.

I'd have flicked the bytchh azz nigga off and kept walking.

cdamsel: respect or no respect d igbo's ve more lasting marriages dan the yoruba's,don't turn dis 2 a tribal battle,cos im all up 4 it

In d real sense d woman shd ve Acknowledge her @ least

If I go 2 my mom's side & knee down na money dey go use tell me 2 stand up,yet she dey knee down 4 free she no happy she beta ve a good excuse 4 dat act ohhhhhh

Ola Johnson:
Ujujoan saying she hates Yoruba people as regards what is being discussed, authomatically means she hates obeisance because there could be other ways in other tribes by which a young woman shows respect to elders. I pity the person you'll marry in advance.

phermonyx:
I dont knw if its right for me to feel disappointed in u cos i dont knw u in person bt i am and maybe it cos i av read some of ur comments before and they were a million times more sensible than what dis. The 2nd line of ur statement was absolutely nt necessary.
@OP, pls dont listen to those that r already tagging ur mother-in-law as a bad person cos they dont knw her and most of dem are d kinda pple dat wld remain glued to d floor if they ever get a chance to meet a mother-in-law in dia life, greet her, show her d kind of respect u would ur mom(she is ur 2nd mom now) and all shld be well.
All is well...........stay cool

Then you don't know Uju.
Anytime something Yoruba pops up, she says the same thing
I've learned to ignore this section of NL because its full of frustrated married women forced to marry their last options
If no be public laundry day, na tribal frustration

It's okay to hate a tribe because of their traditional physical symbol of respect? Lol okay

coogar: how did this beautiful thread degenerate into another tribal war?

konn:

go and sit down mumu ibos that can call their mother and father by name no single atom of respect is it too much to kneel down and greet a woman that gave birth to ur husband? senseless fellow

Ayoakinkahunsi: We shouldn't turn this to another thing, it is a function of many thing and only wise can discern that
The yoruba believed in culture and they remain strictly glue to it
Read between the line instead of jumping to conclusion
If I may ask is that your first time of greeting her?
In short this is far beyond what we have seen
Their might be an issue between you too
Sorry if I might have offended you
But knee and get up is the answer except their is anything else

stankezzy: which culture,i do not know u have a reterded brain.useless ancient culture.all the world are mordeniding,ur people are here talking about dead culture.do u tjink wearing suit is english mans culture,go nd read jullius ceasers invertion of britain.when chinesse,indian,even japaneese are becoming modernize,u are here talking about dead tins

Dis Guy:

no, especially as the in law is from another part of the country, no biggie, you either kneel and greet up or kneel until shes acknowledge, don't read meanings into everything, she might just be greeting some other people as well or doing other things

i know some people kneel to greet their elders whilst on the phone 6000 miles away

dayokanu:

Some education would benefit you in a lot of ways.

Its easy to spot Alaba "markate" posters on here

stankezzy: lip service/pretending life.kneel down for who,u be God.Yoruba nd this their useless culture.they fot tell am make she roll for ground or make she do frog jump before they go accept greeting.yaribas are so full of wickedness that they can kneel down many times still be planning how to kill that same person they are kneeling for.

Ujujoan:

You should just kneel and stand up, no need to wait for her to ask you to rise!

This is another thing I hate about 'those people'. . . . Bunch of hypocrites. Like kneeling down to greet will make them live longer. Tufiakwa!

God pls make me an Ibo again in my next life!
