In my travels, the two people I have seen show respect for age and parents are the Yoruba and the Japanese. Most foreigners are shocked when they visit Japan. The Japanese bow to their parents till today, just like the Yoruba dobale. And look at the results. Both are very progressive people.

Nothing is as honourable as respecting the people who brought you into this world. And it is impossible to revere God if you do not first respect your parents.

The people who say the Yoruba custom of prostrating flat for your parents is barbaric are the same people who say kneeling to propose to a girl is romantic. Look at that. You kneel for a girl you are older than because you want to be married to her. And you cannot prostrate for your parents who carried you in their womb, prayers, and home?

These cardinal values form the core of the Omoluabi (Omo-ti-Olu-Iwa-bi) culture of the Yorubas. And that is why they are good hosts and good settlers. I am almost fifty years of age, and I have never heard of xenophobia against the Yorubas by their host community, either within Nigeria or abroad. Indeed, many foreigners like Nigeria because of the Yorubas. Their diplomacy is their selling point, and it starts from home.

A Yoruba man will not sit down to talk to his father. And in an office environment, the boss will naturally want to promote them because of their natural respect for authority, which the uninitiated call sycophancy.

That respect for elders and parents is why the physical, spiritual, emotional and commercial forces are aligned in harmony in Nigeria's Southwest. This is why Aliko Dangote left Kano to thrive in Lagos, and also why the top 10 home-based Nigerians all live in Lagos, even though only five of them are from the Southwest, and why the 'highest scoring JAMB candidate' Mmesoma Ejikeme's first, second, and third choice of institutions are in the Southwest.

True. Ebos are one major reason why Nigerians are hated and are being attacked abroad esp countries like South Africa. That's why if my foreign friends are talking bad bout Nigeria, I tell them the folks who does bad things abroad are Biafran who are trying to tarnish Nigerian's image cuz they want to force the Government to give them a country of their own by doing that. I also highlight how to know them. That;

>They are usually short and unnecessarily fat with a mitochondrious belly
> They are mostly hairy. chest, back and on their legs
> They've got a different head size as compared to a normal human head
> They are not always fluent English with a very thick local accent

And So far I've been able to convince lotta them esp these folks that we work together online.
