mrborntodoit:Your independence will never come... Until when all the lunatics amongst you see the reason to accept the facts that in Nigeria some other tribes are better than yours and will naturally make progress... Peace will elude all children of sorrow and anger. With common sense, you will realise that I am far better than you in this engagement... But your stupidity will not let you stop... Until I use "sledge hammer" of rethorics re-shape that your flat head...just like your fathers... Cowards like you don't pick the battle they can win. 1 Like |

It's an integral part of our culture. Some take it to the extreme though, which shouldn't be so. Besides, OP, if I were you I'd keep on ignoring that attention-seeker who demand that you must greet her every time, whether I have something else on my mind or not. |

LuvSwollenPussy: Greetings in Africa culture is not unique to the Yoruba culture alone. It cuts across most culture in Africa. From the narration you made above, you said d person reported u aware to ur master who in turn ask u to try and be greeting people. No culture in Nigeria teaches arrogance or disrespect. If the person is familiar to you then I think you should greet. Am sure you were taught that from home. What I see here is pride because you are know the advertorial in woman but you decided to be work past her on more one occasion. |

Make the Igbos in the house enlighten mua. Is it that in your culture you just wake up for morning see an elder on your way to the stream and pass by without any word of greeting, see your mother or father and just close mouth they look. your mother and father in law nko you swell like bread whey them put inside water waka pass. To me every African culture has respect for elders and community at its heart and what way to show this than an acknowledgement of each other when we meet. Even in US and Canada greetings are no biggie. The generations are getting rude and discourteous and at times instead of addressing this some try to justify it. 3 Likes |

I have being having discussion s with tens of pple here and no issue but ur useless uncultured self will place his first argument and be using sensitive words.. stiupid fool.. oponu aiyerada... You are just an example of the yoruba hypocrites I was talking about on the thread before you came to show usa ppractical example . Ode.. you clame u are a cultured yoruba person but use insultive and sentitive word.. bloody dumb hypocrite.. u have luck I don't have time this morning, would have shown u how stupid you are to the core.. nonsense african he-goat with slave mentality. . Everyone educated and intelligent person understood my point on this thread that respect should be reciprocal. Only a african foool like you would not comprehend that easily.. even if u can, ur slave like mentality will never allow u to demand respect from everyone person all because of some useless aspect of a culture some people founded, of which God even condemns. When u grow sense, u can argue with people outside ur enclosed and enslaved world. Dont come and be disgracing urself in public... oponu jatijati ![]() 1 Like |

haibe: Go find your root in nearest refuse dump! And let me cure you of one your ignorance, you said you alway switch to english because there no e or o form of addressing elders in it! Wow! Sir and madam are african words for salutation. Moreover, they are yet to born anyone in your generation that would be bold enough to address the british royals ( or any member europe royal houses ) with your gutter level english eloquence. Even here in Nigeria, there people you can't open your stinking mouth and address anyhow in your delusion of mastery of english.

gabbytabby: Don't mind those american wanna be. The problem black american are facing now can be trace to lack of respect of elders, which killed the closely knitted family affection present in many rural african home. We in the cities all over africa are moving unwittly in that direction now. Soon children will start giving their parents the beating of their live......or calling the police on them ![]() |
