Hello Nairalanders
so yesterday i learnt that the correct response to "how do you do?" is "how do you do".
it made no sense to me because i thought the logical response would be "fine" or "good" or stuffs like that,that is why i have brought this to NL to clarify. So professors in the house,let us know which is the correct response to "How Do You Do?".
"fine" or "how do you do"

Google is your friend

I do fine?

Are you telling us or asking?

Heard of that rule before, buh, I think its even now archaic... I wouldn't expect you to answer the question with anything more than, fine,you?

Prophetudeme - how do u do?. Period

I'm telling you. That's why I used quotation marks.

This response is archaic.

Answering "fine, how about you?" doesn't make one a poor English teacher.

how do I do what?

How do you do too

My response "Am doing good"

How do you do......

I do well and fine sir thank you

Gbogbowa la dudu ni Nigeria..

If you paste that TLC YOU WILL BANNED

"Gbogbo wa la dudu ni nigeria"---- Best ans since time memorial

Hian!

How do you do?

The correct response is


Gbogbo wa la dudu ni naijiria

You should reply too with: "How do you do?"
NB: It is usually used for people meeting themselves for the first time.

I do well
