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

infact u lack manners

when u r in Rome, behave like a Roman ok

I detest yorubas for their greeting sycophancy, how can a girl be calling her boyfriend *brother Taiye*

Orisirisi

Big.ot!

Why don't you do the world a favor and hang yourself?

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.

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.

You better close one of your eyes when you get to a land where people have one eye each. Or else..

We yorubas up north careless

You are a proper ipata mi gbo mi gba kind of person. Ti e dowo Olo'un oba.

Just pray you don jam some real area-fathers na that day you go sabi important of greeting

I now agree u are mumu as someone said

Not my business...

It's only in yoruba land that someone would postrate and use his white agbada to clean the floor while greeting yyou,but would still insult you and tell you ori e o pe,the next minute.

@ poster, this is to say that you were not tutored well if don't appreciate African tradition and respect for elders

papichula:
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.

This story sounds more like a feminine egocentricism and less of culture. She wants to keep u realizing that she pass u and she's not ur level or so

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.

a woman use her her to wash Jesus if. In the Hebrew culture the host will wash the feet's strangers or visitors. It her culture. Use of Abusive language is universal in all languages. Try to be adaptive and learn how tolerate others peoples way of life.

You are obsessed with igbo people. The best thing for you is to hang yourself because you will never become anything in life.

Hi

haibe:


I now agree u are mumu as someone said

You just confirm that you lack proper home training. Useless oyinbo he-goat!
A rootless ape forming modern civilization. Ode!
Hopeless acultural monkey.

If your parent should hear all the trash you vomit here, they will definitly be ashame.

Many people who are far more better than you, educational, financial, social wise, don't have your kind of mentality but a deranged soul like you is here dancing naked thinking he is something....

Do the below, to flush out of your life all the negative acquired traits in you. Stup!d fool.

precisionindepth:
thks....u r so blessed

Someone just subtle insult you, and you are thanking him!

He is indirect saying you lack manner, and guess what? He is right.

Your inability to read between the line also confirm you lack sound educational foundation. Shior!

It is In Yoruba culture to greet politly. Don't get it twisted.

coded01:
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...

ehyaaa i hear you...mr traditional ethics(what%#*?) pls give us 5 importance of "greeting" if u wud. Like what do i stand to lose if i dont "greet" o!

ubath:

and why sir is that always the one and only habit(not cultuure) that you ppl always seem to boast about all the time why?!

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.

What's this. How does this relate to what I replied.

Iu. Stup!d fool.

dumb. Foul.... 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

sledge hammer of rhetorics kwanu lol you be thor? all these big gramma just because someone touched on a nerve. ndo o!

steppin:

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.

Ur jona dull lost becos he is the most clueless presido ever liveth,live with that,as for the greetings we are not people that will wake up and kick our fathers,that's what the oba told u,if you can obey the law of the land,kindly relocate or lagooon is the another solutions,awon omo iran ki ran

As for u @op u just started the work abi,continue that way u will be out of the job soon,maybe you are wiser than your boss that told you to greet

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.
Now say after me "YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESS, YOUR MAJESTIC, MY LORD, YOUR HONOUR, IF IT PLEASE YOU...... Declare me your slave.

And you indeed a slave to western culture. Ode

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

The funny thing is that there own kids don't even greet you. They will just pass you by.

Responding to this post will be a waste of space.

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#

since 1450AD what have we gained from the greeting? if a girl greets quickly they will say she is a good girl. Those that doesn't will be wrongfully accused.
If a man or woman minds his/her buisness well he/she won't even notice if smebdy greet or not.
