Yorubas are so funny with their greetings. If I see my mum, I will just walk up to her and say "Nma good morning", but if a yoruba sees his mum from 1 km, he will start practicing the press up and all the rubbish he will say to her in the name of greeting. 7 Likes |

Papichula, I assume you are not Yoruba. Because a Yoruba son or daughter who asks this sort of question is what they call "Omo alaileko". 8 Likes |

Hausa has a proverb which says 'too much of greeting is better than insult'. Stop to dey follow Western cultures half way guys. In my moral philosophy (GENS 201) class years back, it was stated clearly that one sign of in-discipline is lack of GREETING. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

I thought NL rules 2 is still working? Don't abuse, bully, deliberately insult/provoke, fight, or wish harm to Nairaland members OR THEIR TRIBES. How the MOD quickly move this to FP is surprising. 4 Likes 1 Share |

I DONT KNOW WHY POEPLE WANT TO DIE BECAUSE OF YORUBA ISSUES. NO LEVEL OF CIVILIZATION CAN MAKE US FORGET OUR CULTURE. IF WOLE SOYINKA CAN GREET WITH RESPECT (SHOWING THE SIGN) UPON HIS LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE, IT SHOWS THAT WE YORUBAS CAN'T SELL OUR CULTURE BECAUSE OF BORROWED OR BOUGHT CULTURES CALLED CIVILIZATION. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Occurstaem:Don't mind the fool. They had no ill feeling against Yoruba's choice of voting when they casted most of their votes for him in 2011. Even the Hausas went all out for him in 2011 also, these mofos had nothing against it then. 10 Likes |

papichula: A friend of mine did NYSC In Ibadan area She told me how sickened she was of this greeting thing The landlord mandated all the tenants to greet his old mother every blessed day Imagine waking up in the morning in your hurry to rush out,you must first go and knock on mama's door and bow down and greet her before leaving. If you fail and he sees you,he will remind you to go and greet her Sometimes after the morning ones,you may be reminded to go and greet her in the evening I had never heard a thing like that in my life Maybe it's like oxygen to some It's polite to greet people but you don't demand it Maybe from small children to teach them proper manners but certainly not mandating adults to greet you not only that to seek you out and greet you That's absurd 3 Likes |
