all those that keep wondering why this is an issue should know that its little foxes that spoil the vineyard.

if your greeting isn't acknowledged will you be happy?

if you find out that if you don't greet ,there will be no greetings,will you be happy?

now to the point,it varies from from couple to couple who greets first.
for me, any time my partner greets me first ,it warms my heart and i always make a mental note to beat her to it next time.

no big deal in greeting but in tiwa n tiwa na wife suppose greet first, then it depends on the man is he is from  SANNGO(one of yoruba deity) family or ALAKOWE.

i remember when i woke up and greet my dad n started enchanting our family praise also  my mum do the same, so i will like to do the same for my husband and my children,

In my culture (Yoruba) the wife is expected to greet the husband first in the morning before she start her day just like you'd be required to greet an elder first and not vice versa. As for me I don't make a fuss about it and do it with a hug or a kiss wink
Why is it that you guys like to identify everything as "my culture"?  Tell me, do you have any particular intimacy culture (i.e. squatting position n etc. ) in Yoruba?   undecided

Well Its a lot depends on seniority because a lot of guys marry older ladies because of Money grin, so you its complicated the older lady will expect the hubby to 1st greet her at least he is chopping her cash, but in African culture the women is suppose to brutu for the hubby 1st..or what do you guys/babes thing?? cheesy cheesy

What? I cant believe i'm hearing this from most 9ja ladies! How can you live with a man recognised by all as your husband and you find it difficult to always be the first to greet him which is also a sign of respect and admiration,  WHAT IS THIS WORLD REALY TURNING TO? I CANT LIVE WITH A WOMAN WHOSE PRIDE WONT LET HER ALWAYS BE THE FIRST TO GREET ME NOT JUST EVERY MORNING BUT EACH TIME WE SEE, GOD KNOWS I CANT STAND THAT SH*T mehn!

A generation that has distanced themself from God will always ask questions that they have already been instructed on by the Holy Book. But when disaster enters their lives they come asking God "why, why me, why now".

E don reach woman turn man don remember wetin bible talk. I hope you remember how bible says men should treat their wives oh and also remember what bible says about faithfulness from husbands dont just remember the law specific to women only.

There is no big deal about greeting, so it really should not be an issue. It has absolutely nothing to do with respect. Salutation they say is not love. I can greet him every minute, every day, and still be very disreespectful!

i dont know the problems of we ladies. what is the big deal about greeting. Is your husband your mate? God has made him the head over u. Do u debate who to greet your father first. What is the big deal of greeting your husband first and give him all the respect due to him. Haba!!! this is africa and not western world. If u have a husband that notices this type of things why dont u do it and have peace in your marriage. Haba!!! na waoh for ladies
You are rare honest girl in this post.

Why should we argue who greet first? Why should a wife expect the husband to greet her first? Nigeria women and their westernization while they are still centuries back with reasoning of the western woman.

@poster,

Should that matter? Marriage is more than petty things such as that. Greeting the spouse first or not does not prove that you love him or respect him or would not cheat on him.

Charity they say begins at home. If this a true saying, it is never a crime for either husband or wife to greet each other first base on when either of them is up from bed or thereabout.

I grew up in the West - your area, and in general, you're right. That's the way the real Yoruba woman will do it.

But I'm from the South South region - wifey too. I really haven't given this ''greetings thing'' a thought until now. Time to give some steer in that direction at home - for I like it the Yoruba way (having considered the two scenarios - greet/don't greet or make anything of it). But that's me sha.

if you love and respect your husband and want to put him first before anything,you should always beat the gun to greet him.

This post is very very funny, but to those that keep westernizing everything, the same western statistics shows more women are becoming singles everyday.
probably we should join them too.

What most women don't realize is, it's little things that cause great problems.
I for one never had problem with this as am used to greeting, until i noticed my Girlfriend wasn't the greeting type, all i had to do was find an indirect way of telling her it wasn't nice and i think she got the clue.

Men are not saying you should kneel down and say ekaro, if you love someone, courtesy demands you greet in the morning.

Why do we ladies lack respect this day? this should not be an issue to argu on, even then the bible statses that Salah calls Abraham (her husband ) my Lord. but now most of us calls our husband by his name. Why do u make things out of nothing?

Any wise woman shuld be humble to her husband.

GREET HIM WITH A KISS EVERY MORNING kiss

There is no big deal about it but will a woman wake up and see her husband and start looking at her husband eye ball to eye ball waiting for him to say Goodmorning Darling. Of course she will be ready to reply Good morning my dear, How are u? Really funny.
