Unfortunately this not the first funeral and it won't be the last. It is actually true. If the lady was used to standing up to greet elders she would instinctively stand up, bereaved or not.

Thank you!

Guy.
Why you dey talk like this na?

izzou:


But the guy was right.

The tweet was unnecessary but he was right.

Where we come from, you don't sit to greet an elderly person

izzou:


Is the tweet insensitive? Yes

Is the guy correct? Yes.

What is wrong about what i said?

iamoyindamola:

The guy is actually foolish
He should lose his entire family in one day and prostrate to shetimma if he come for the burial

izzou:


I actually said he was insensitive, hope you know?

izzou:


Na Wigwe funeral be this?

iamoyindamola:

You also said he was right
The thing we can't be looking for right or wrong in a situation like this

Wake keep

In Yoruba tradition, if you sit to greet an elder, is it right?

His tweet is insensitive, but it is not wrong.

This was 3 funerals o not 1. As in she lost father, mother, and brother at a go.

Almost everybody at that funeral would have been older than her. In her state to expect her to be rising up to greet everybody on the day is insensitive IMO.

In a funeral or homely environment?

afrodoc2:


His point is wrong in that the fact that she did not stand up to greet this one man at the occasion of the wake keeping of her father, mother, and brother IS NOT evidence of her lack of home training.

You can't conclude anything about her background from this single picture taken in a situation in her life that most likely none of us has ever faced.

BlueRayDick:


In Yoruba tradition , nobody cares whether u sleep , kneel or stand to greet an elder at a funeral. Elders don't even go to funerals in Yoruba tradition .

We need to put things into context here . That was a funeral service and not some meet and greet gathering .

izzou:


Anywhere

izzou:


I asked about greeting an elder.

I did not ask about a funeral

Segedinho:

Would it have been wrong if she refused to greet anybody due to d weight on her mind..

BlueRayDick:


In Yoruba tradition u kneel to greet an elder as a female.

Oya ask further questions .

iamoyindamola:

It's not wrong for her shaking an elder while sitting down at a mourning period

BlueRayDick:


Omo! I shock that any older person will have issues with whether she stands, kneels or crouch to greet an elder in this circumstance .

Normally she should not even be greeting any stupid elder in the first place . If not that her father was a public figure , they shouldn't be turning a 57 year old , his wife and 27 year old son burial to a jamboree every politician come mark register .

I'm even mad at the scenes yesterday night where the crowd forced the MC to recognize Peter Obi's presence . That's not the place and time for God's sake ! 🤦‍♂️
