Prostration (Idobale)....act Of Humility (Omoluabi) by MayorofLagos(m): 3:35am On Sep 14, 2014 |
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostration Read the article above. Prostrating, bowing, kneeling....these acts are beneficial for curbing the impulse in our ego and helps one develop a humble carriage in society. Societies that practice kneeling, bowing and prostrating whether as an act of faith or cultural tradition promote humble character as a way of life in social interaction. This is the foundation for the Yoruba creed 'omoluabi'. Boastful and arrogant societies exist because of untamed egos, people who abhor acts of humility and refuse to submit their will to the divine. There are multitude cultures and people in Nigeria and I do not know which one does or does not observe kneeling, bowing, prostration, in their cultural beliefs. I want to hear from you. If your ethnic group prostrate, bow or kneel, tell us here and do it with pictures. I will be first to go. Im Yoruba and yes my people practice humble character and we prostrate, we bow, we kneel....see picture.

Your belief can be faulty you know? We Igbos lower our heads when greeting an elder in a typical igbo setting. Wives kneel to greet their husbands again in a typical igbo setting. Notwithstanding, igbos educate their young members of the society with the emphasis on the actual respect and not the symbol of respect 1 Like |

Look I don't pretend neither am I two faced,I say things the way I see them and I don't owe you an explanation for my opinion.

jnrbayano: i dont have time for tales by moonlight. Ibos have told many tales in the age before internet that were taken on their face value but later discredited when the liberty of internet revealed the lies. No more face value for Ibo stories, you are not credible. Show Ibo bows and kneels in picture..this topic is specific! If you dont have it stop responding.....this is a show and tell topic, not a place to spin fabulous non existing cultural practice. here is another demonstration of Yoruba heritage for humility and grace....in far away Argentina. |
