Greeting is to a Yoruba person is as cerelac is to a baby. It does give them all the balanced nutrition. Just greet them and move on. Remember give to ceaser what belongs to him...everything else will fall in place... |

You don't understand what that place in the Bible means, The person that wrote that in the bible must have shown a lot of regards and respect to His/Her Elder. Many atimes, I mess up and i am disciplined for it, it must have pained me, but in the end it is for my own good. For Elders to have your definition of respect for a younger person has so much deep meaning even science to it, only if you have shown your elders respect without expecting a respect back, they would have told you. The best bribe to an Elder is respecting them, and it starts from "greetings, not just with your mouth but also with your deeds. Age doesn't determine knowledge or character, But Wisdom is determined by Age. never miss/mix wisdom with knowledge. Wisdom is earned through experiences. Do you know that the condition of the Black society stems from the disregards and disrespect of the Elders? Like i said, if you are wise enough, you would be able to understand. haibe: 3 Likes |

When you are not in the mood, I would tell you "take it easy, what are you thinking about that you see me walking pass and you can't greet"? Your greetings in reality won't quench my hunger or thirst. But the reality of it all, is that Peace be unto you. Peace is what we all hunger for. And you/we have never experienced peace in atleast 4000 years. First you must know what peace really is before you can appreciate greetings. haibe: 2 Likes |

I do say yoruba is d most hypocritical tribe we have. Not only are dey obsessed with greeting, dey are also obsessed with respect & proverbs. Dey use proverbs 2 justify nonsese. Yoruba will say u shud use "e" 4 elders, dat it is a sign of respect, so if I say "e ponu" is dat a sign of respect 2? Dey will say "agbalagba o kii n paro" but we all know dat it is dese "agalagba's" dat have spoilt dis natn with deir lies. |

akpanikpe: You call it obsession, most people will call it manners. I know this for a fact. In the united states army, there is something called the greeting of the day. Make dem born you well pass your Oga no say good morning or good afternoon. You go get counseling statement for disrespect. So, if white man know the value, how come we as africans come de lose the value? Not saying common good morning shows the quality of upbringing. That being said, I am not yoruba but i value that aspect of their culture. 2 Likes |

That an Elder should show you some respect first is a disrespect on it own. If an Elder does not call to your attention when you don't greet, what will the society then look like? The young did not greet, the elder ignores, then suddenly nobody stops greeting anybody will lead to the blood and crips relationship. Disrespecting or reciprocate respect between elder and the younger works for the non-blacks. We trying that leads to what we see amongst the black neigbourhoods in europe and the americas, and it is cripping into africa bit by bit, You are an ambassador of it (lol). haibe: 1 Like |

dahmie2013: am yoruba but I have to be sincere to say this is the truth.. the elders (not all) are just too hypocritical.. Funny enough when they are angry, you will see the way they act to the other once that are older than them and you will be wondering if its not the same person that demanded respect from u 1 Like |
