I noticed that while older Nigerians see how are you from their juniors as an insult, but if u ask like this
"How is everything sir"
"How is the family sir"
They seem to be okay with those and a few other ways

But never ask directly , and u must attach whatever title they bear or their relationship with you. Like u can never call ur uncle by name unless u r trying to die. U call him sir or uncle. Same with others.

The man has pictured the question in yoruba, that's "bawoni" and that's only used when addressing your mate...... That's how yoruba ppl do, they will be interpreting English language in yoruba, even when making a statement, :DThe man has pictured the question in yoruba, that's "bawoni" and that's only used when addressing your mate......
