As long as I want to avoid tribalism on any issue but I cannot help on this. I believe the Yoruba folks gives more respect to their elders compare with other tribes in Nigeria. Just a thought anyway. What is your view on this?

I go with d op

People from Uganda hands down

No, you're not being tribalistic. You're just stating your view whether jaundiced or not.

You just have to understand that respect is a personal thing and can be shown in different ways and not just by bowing to the person(i guess this is the reason for you point).

Op is absolutely right! I also avoid tribal wars buh we cant all be blind to the truth.

you are right my poster, Yourba

Yoruba for sure.(ai beru agba ni o je aye ogun,elegbe moni mo beru agba ooo)

Respect is cultural, traditional and for the most part is Earned.

In Naija and Africa as a whole, our blind respect for "all" elders even when they are morally wrong about a lot of things tends to lead to more problems. All tribes in Nigeria are respectful of elders. But where I come from, when an elder goes astray we question him/her. They shouldn't be bowed to all the time. They are not God's!

definitely and more so that is why it's being said that Yoruba has the best culture in the country.

Op is absolutely right! I also avoid tribal wars buh we cant all be blind to the truth.

Respect as i said earlier is relative. You don't tell me that simply because someone bows down for you, simply means that that person is respectful. There's a difference between being respectful and showing respect.

@op,u knw d truth why then starting ths thread?

i don't give a bleep about tribe,i give respect to any man who deserves it,whether you're from yoruba,hausa,ibibio,igbo etc, fu** tribe

And yet my brethren will get angry when the Igbo start inflammatory threads.


Whats the sole point of this thread now if not to start more tribal arguments/

Ki se gbogbo nkan lo ye ki a ma fi waja. Gbogbo ojo ko logun.

E ma rora se.

am privilage to live in different part of these country. presently am living in Lagos and working in Ogun state. Op i think u are wrong. is only folks dat neva cross SW dat will belive dis lie. Yoruba are d most insulting tribe in Nigeria They can only respect u wen they want something from ur hand or u are in position to define thier income. They dnt find it difficult to abuse or curse anybody irrespective of thier age.

Most of these self-glorying people who have never left yorubaland just annoy the hell out of me.

You think knelling down and prostrating is all there is to respect for elders?

Respect is relative. What you call respect might be offence to me.

You claim you know how to prostrate, right? I'll take you to my town and I can assure you that if I dont put you through, you cant spend 30 minutes with the elders in my community without them complaining that you're disrespectful.

I dont know how you Yoruba people reason. You're the least travelled nigerians yet you behave as if you know the end of the world.

Go hug transformer, or chop grenade, if u'r angry at d truth.

Right.

good thing i'm from a region where we don't have to kneel (for show) but where curtseying to (deserving) elders comes naturally ,

p.s. se and ss people do kneel, it's just not mandatory

I disagree. Respect is absolutely comparative. It is not a-do-more/better stuff. Respect is respect unless not sincere. Most people exude respect out of timidity which arises from feeling of self-inferior. This has been very obvious among many in lagos in the guise of 'respect'.

make a wrong offer to a yoruba woman selling in the market, that respect she accorded you when you stepped into her shop will be something you will live to regret.

The same yoruba that would say "boda mi, koni dafun yin o"?
