babyfaceafrica:
You last rule is vague..could you elucidate more...the second rule is birth because the left hand is used to do lots of filty things like wash your bum,pack dirts e.t.c...why should you use that same hand to greet people?

VickyRotex:
I thought this was common with every tribe or how an individual is raised!
Proudly Nigerian!!!

Don't call your sister/brother by their name

For the Yorubas, even if the age difference is just a year, you must add a prefix like aunt or uncle. It is even more unacceptable if you call someone way older than you by their name. The person will just ignore or be lackadaisical.

Always eat your meat last

We do not know the source of this rule but when dining with a Yoruba family, you should always eat your meat last.


so wen there was no words like aunt or uncle wot do guys use

afonjas can just eat meat without their meal,,, afonjas and meat are like

bettercreature:

Thank God for my tribe and family. 4 of my older ones i call them by name even over 10years older. Even after they haf born. The respect is still there...not negotiable. Yorubas can call you aunty and insult your destiny. Kuku call me by name.

We don't kuku do "mummy Junior" or "mama Junior" after you have a child. We believe you still have an identity whether or not you have kids.

My mum calls her inlaws by name too.
Greeting an elderly person is by hugging...no kneeling or prostrating. It is not a sign of respect for us(i tried it with my dad once and he thought i was not ok).They embrace you.
Yoruba older people expect me to kneel and greet. I only courtesy. It is not my culture mbok.

MENELIK1:


And who is forcing the culture on you?

KemjikaEme:

You must be either igbo or Ibibio/Efik.
Kneeling or prostrating is not a sign of respect. It is just the way yoruba culture interprete courtesy.
Absence of kneeling is not synonymous to direspect.
I prefer not kneeling down for any human in the name of courtesy.

Danielmoore:
I am Igbo but my mother is Yoruba
I had a tough time with my mother family while growing up
they call us omoake because we no dey bow down greet them
a lot of weird thing about their culture sha

justbusy:
