Good day everyone, i was going to shop yesterday where i learn tailoring. I passed the shop beside us when a girl of about five to seven years older than told me that i passed without greeting her. I know it is right to greet those older than you but there are sometimes you're thinking of another thing and greeting is not on your radar. I smiled and passed thinking she was joking...

In the afternoon me and my senior passed, none of us greeted...she now told my boss dat i don't greet...

Thank God my boss is a watsup man so he just told me that i should try to greet..

The point is
why didn't she complain about the other guy with me? What nutrient do people gain from greeting them that she does not want to let me be...

Work that i just started less than 3 weeks, they want to spoil my name


Yorubas, not all are too obsessed with greeting. You will never see an Hausa person complaining about greeting...


That's not only the person I have seen complaining.

Just our culture. I also get into trouble very often for not greetinbg every single person I see when I wake up in d morning.

It's the culture but she should haven't told on you. Some people are quick to get offended because of their own egos

You don't have to greet anybody if you don't want to.

they are eye service lovers..but failing to realise that salutation is not love

I am yoruba and what you are saying has happened to me so many times. In some cases they would go and report to my mother when they see her. My advice is that you dont greet her... And if she ask you why, tell her why did she report you to your Boss.

It's the norm in Yorubaland.....So deal with it!!

I love greeting people I like. Buh you cant force me to greet you if I dont want. I go swear for that person mtcheeeew

It is funny how everyone whose position on issues isn't the typical Yoruba position must be 'Ibo'...even when their posting history strongly suggests otherwise.

When I was serving in Delta it always bring friction between Igbos and yorubas in Corpers lodge, that we Igbo don't respect our elders.

We told them pointblank that we won't bow to anybody because that is where all their arguements are directed to.

I will always tell my madam then I was doing IT that I have greeted the way I know best to do, so stop expecting me to genuflect and bow down because I want to greet you, I will observe my culture and you have every right to respect it and you must.

If I like I greet if I don't I won't, my parents never demanded greeting from because I greet them the way we are taught to.

Don't you know to a yoloba person anybody that is not Hausa or yoloba is omo ibo

BuddahMonk:

Their ignorance in that area is shameful.
Even the educated ones think same way.
Once you're not from the North, you're automatically an Igbo.
One of the major reasons why Uncle Joe lost, was because majority of them thought he was an Igbo man.

You may call it obessession but we call it RESPECT...



Because "we value the importance of greeting"...



I will also call it Traditional Ethics, we as Yorubas have been taught & grow up to happily live that way...

That was how I told my Dad's younger brother "how are you sir" and the man took it P and reported me to my dad that I don't have respect

We are not obsessed with greeting, don't generalise someone behaviour with a particular tribe.

greeting is just one of the thing I love in our culture.

Ikini se pataki
Ibowo fun agbalagba she koko
Proudly yoruba

Ibere

Lol

I have no problem with their greeting method but I have a problem with the way they judge other tribes by the way they greet their elders.

For example,some people are fond of accusing another tribe of greeting their parent with slide tackle

I laff at this

That is their culture, they greet a lot, they greet virtually with all you are doing. Infact if they bang heavily on your woman that way of greeting to hail you...

Respect is reciprocal. Simple.

Cos they are obbesed, shikenna

you don't have to link Yoruba to it.
yesterday in my office,an Igbo girl knelt down to collect money from ATM
I swears

God bless dis op for raising this topic....

Hypocritical and back-stabbing greetings

Greeting na by choice o

Yoruba can greet to any length, we have respect for people like they says respect is reciprocal , don't wait for someone to greet you, you can be the first to greet.
#repoduduwa#

Greeting is a tool of socialisation. If you continually say good morning to a person, overtime you and the person are likely going to become friends. I don't see a big deal in greeting people, however it is everyone's choice to greet or not and it shouldn't be coerced.
As per the Yoruba obsession with greetings, greetings are integral part of our culture. A well-brought Yoruba child is taught he/she needs to learn to greet, particularly those older than him/her. I want to believe it is one of the things that makes Yoruba communities cordial and accomodating. People who greet regularly open up, communicate and fight less frequently. However on the case of that girl, op if she is truly younger than you, you should be the one demanding first greeting from her and not the other way around. Omo yen baje.

..............AND IF I MAY ASK THE POSTER TOO,

WHAT IS THE BIGGIE IN GREETINGS?

U MUST BE ONE LAZY LAD, WHO FINDS EVERYTHING TOO DIFFICULT , EVEN JUST TO MUMBLE SOME WORDS AND PASS AND GO.

S.M.H, IF U SEE ME FOR ROAD, U BETA SAY hello

She didn't complain about the other guy..na green light be dat o.
