Candour: they've almost succeeded in turning this to another yoruba-Igbo bashing thread......me that is from one and married to an angel from the other,wetin make i do now What's left to enjoy? A woman marrying into another tribe should be prepared for its challenges , she said it herself that there're many of them greeting the old lady at same time. @colgate came here for simple answer; 1. should she stay on the ground or 2. wait until she's instructed to get up. My flabbergasted quest thus; why would any right thinking human being expect the old lady to swoop her off the floor?? Even if her husband is the only child and the |

alutacontinua: You are right. Maybe the mother in-law made her stay longer because she is not Yoruba. That way she would appreciate the culture. |

Popup Blocker: Is Mr. aboki an ediot?Ujujoan saying she hates Yoruba people as regards what is being discussed, authomatically means she hates obeisance because there could be other ways in other tribes by which a young woman shows respect to elders.

We shouldn't turn this to another thing, it is a function of many thing and only wise can discern that The yoruba believed in culture and they remain strictly glue to it Read between the line instead of jumping to conclusion If I may ask is that your first time of greeting her? In short this is far beyond what we have seen Their might be an issue between you too Sorry if I might have offended you But knee and get up is the answer except their is anything else 1 Like |

Anytime something Yoruba pops up, she says the same thing I've learned to ignore this section of NL because its full of frustrated married women forced to marry their last options If no be public laundry day, na tribal frustration It's okay to hate a tribe because of their traditional physical symbol of respect?

Just signed up here yay!!! I guess the kneeling thing is for the yorubas, because igbos do not really kneel to greet their elders. |

@ the poster,I would have thought that one marrying into a different culture would ask questions from the spouse regarding some cultures that are alien to them. he is the best person to give you advise on what to do here and the type of mother he has so that if the old woman fusses at a future time that she is not being "worshipped" properly by her daughter in law ,you would have him on your side. Most MIL's don't get along with their DIL anyway and coming from a different culture it will always be used against you when things don't go right There is also this need for women married to other cultures to over compensate and over do things at the initial stages in their bid to be accepted,not a wise thing to do,it will come back to bite you when you decide to be real but if you can sustain it,good for you.i have heard of women that even kneel to sisters in law and husband's relatives younger than them just because they married into the family. I will never do that. My advice As my mama advised me privately during my engagement ,she said " Ada m ,love and respect your husband and his people but whatever you know you cannot sustain in your marriage don't ever start it." That is wisdom speaking I hope to pass on that advise to my daughter If I were married to a Yoruba culture,I would bow and greet the older folks as they do but will never kneel. I don't kneel for my parents or to any man and sure will not kneel to any MIL. Doesn't mean I don't love and respect them,some kneel and cuss them out under their breath but I guess the outward appearance of kneeling even when I can't stand you is more important. That will be my method from day one so that those who like me will and those who don't will know that is my style. So ask your husband what you should do to please his mother and if it something you can do,do it,if not,do it your way and they will just have to take you like you are. 1 Like |

Why can't you lot respect other people's culture(s)? Is that too difficult to do? FYI, there are tons of cultures around Africa and in world where they practice something similar to that...

Ujujoan:my dear I believe you have never had anything to do with Yoruba people for you to say this.am Igbo to but I won't trade my Yoruba friends for anything or anybody on earth.i schooled in ife and had the opportunity to interact with core Yorubas from different states. They have a very open heart, respectful and there guys are hot. All in all they are not all hypocrites,they have the good and bad just like us igbos and I love the fact that they continue to preserve their language and culture 11 Likes |
