What baffles me is me greeting my parents/elders after they must have eaten EVEN when i did not partake in the meal.. ...how many of you still do it? Do you have a particular reason for doing it.

*parents

Lot of blunders makes it difficult to understand your write up but you stating the tribe would go a long way in helping

I don't. I don't expect anyone to do so too. Doesn't make sense or seem right.

One of the funny aspects of our culture. I'm expected to say "Thank you, ma/sir", to any elderly relative who happens to be around when I finish a meal.... Even when he didn't pay for the meal, or assist in any way in preparing it.

Do not know if you are really Igbo. However,Ifyalways is Igbo and has no inkling of such custom. Naming your hometown will go a long way.
