Why Are Yoruba's Obsessed With Greeting? by papichula: 10:05am On May 13, 2015 |
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. 16 Likes 1 Share |

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. papichula: 4 Likes 1 Share |

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. 9 Likes 1 Share |

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. 34 Likes 4 Shares |

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. 30 Likes 2 Shares |

You may call it obessession ![]() ![]() 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... ![]() 130 Likes 10 Shares |

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 117 Likes 5 Shares |

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 ![]() 21 Likes 1 Share |

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. 38 Likes 2 Shares |
