slimyem: That not strange at all. Omo yoruba to ni laakaye ni.
Greeting elders appropriately is a big deal in our culture and Sunny Ade is more than an elder..[b] his "grandfather" literarily and in music [/b]

spongeback: This will make FP

JOYCEOUS: Dis is one of d reasons i lov d yorubas.....vry respctful.!

Stil cnt stp wishing i ws yoruba!

dayokanu: He is not one of those who wake their father from bed with sliding tackles

goodmike7:

i have seen many yorubas that does that in lagos and you are not even a proper yoruba brought up because you lack respect for elders considering the way you call names especially the president which makes me conclude you have no single repect for your parents because the president is old enough to be your father much more better than him.

dasparrow: @Post

Wizkid is just showing respect as his culture demands.

Also respect to a great veteran singer.

Godswill A Judins: Star singer Ayo Balogun aka Wizkid recently displayed the highest level of respect to veteran musician King Sunny Ade, KSA.

This happened in Victoria Island, Lagos about 2 weeks ago as the two are about to perform together on stage at the Ebony TV launch.

Wizzy knows how to show respect to his elders. Nice one!

mr_man: He wants to live long ni.

Doff_Man:

Stop talking rubbish. Every tribe has a culture; good or bad. I've had to grovel like that in traditional wedding setting where I can understand its symbolic and tongue-in-cheek, and trust me, I did it with gusto! But to have to do it on a daily basis

Culture aside, what sort of person would require younger ones to constantly grovel in front of them to make them feel good and boost their ego? Where has centuries of grovelling got us to in Nigeria?

dolphinife: I dnt knw d reason why someone will put on shirt and trouser, u still fold the shirt to ur ankle, you now crown it with heavy chain....this wizkid of a thing is suffering from youthful exuberance....WTF

ArQueBusieR:

Are you by any chance related to certain a pastor Joshua?

LU-PUNNY Media:


If I hear! From your username, I can tell you are not Yoruba!

ceospecial: No! E for Stand shake am... Mtchew! As if u don't know yoruba tradition... Which kind useless thread be this?

thisismike:
All u yoruba folks shud sharap. I've lived among u for yrs &i knw d kind of silly "respect" u gv 2ur elders. Wen u postrate out of fear/pretense &as well making jest of tht person. In Igbo we call it "isu imi". Wat's tht in english anyway?
I'll alwaz remain an easterner, believe me sincerely...

Yield:

Sigh. Talking to people on NL sometimes is like talking to a brick wall. Just because I used "respectful" and "humble" in the same sentence does not mean that they are synonymous with one another. If I have to be telling you that, you are an idi0t. How slow can someone be?

livingstoneony:
very true that's one of the reasons why many young people in nigeria can't say no to their elderly ones when they are wrong and even when the situation at hand is killing- like in the case of the old men and women killing us in the government and making our lives hell on earth. We do nothing but pray and hope we will be like them someday when we could actually change our positions in life. I believe culture and religion are the causes of backwardness in this country.
