I don't know, I wasn't there, but I'll say let's remember that this is not moving picture. This are still images and still images hardly ever shows the full story. Images can be taken at just the moment and those images could conjure imageries. I'm saying, the elderly man may have bowed to him but how did the COS respond? We can't be sure of that with still images so we cant be eager to condemn him. Besides, is the man greeting him or thanking him for something? Gratitude shows no respect of persons and this elderly man may be thanking the young man for something he did for him. I don't know, I wasn't there and neither were the people talking as if they were

Indignity. And the young man does not have the sense and courtesy to stop this old man from prostrating before him. This is truly shameful.

Only restructuring can turn this anomaly around and make these feudal lords true public servants. Only if old man knows this will he be free of shame. Nigeria must be cleansed of piling curses day after day.

Oga. You do not thank your employee for doing his job. Government is not personal but collective responsibility. This is pure feudalism on display, the kind the owners of Nigeria are reared to kill their citizens to sustain. The boy was just a hairs breadth from placing his feet on the old man's head while puffing at a cigar. Thank him for what. Let me see your boss hit the deck for you to do your job. Sick country.

Ordinary Nigerians are bottom feeders.
An elderly man bowed, knelt and kissed the floor for a young crooked id*iot who has never experienced hardship due to corruption!

A man who was brought up well would have stood up immediately to stop the elderly man from bowing as a sign of respect for a poor elder!! But instead, the young power-hungry thief sat his fat as*s there and soak it all in!!

It is unfortunate that the poor in Nigeria are ready to do ANYTHING for money, even selling their mother!!

The been ble is clear about this,what the oldman do is not strange to me, we should respect the constituted authority,have you not seen where many remove their cloths to spread on the rock when Christ wad s entering Jerusalem?
Iam not saying he yahaya is like Jesus but God has chosen him over the old and young the old man only manifest the humility in him,how many of us are like that today?

pride is what kept many stagnant today.

You obviously don't know what you are doing by lumping wada with dino nd bello. Wada was the best governor kogi ever produced, a God fearing man who was a victim of his simplicity and good nature. All attempts by APC to rubbish his image has amounted to nothing. The wise men know that bello is God's punishment for the way they treated Wada

You clearly misunderstood me. I'm not suggesting the COS was been thanked for doing his job. If u r Nigerian then u know how we ask for personal favors from the rich men or politicians from our clan, neighborhood, community etc. A man's house rent may have been paid by the COS, maybe school fees for someone's children etc. Such benevolence may warrant a thank you visit like this, that's what I meant. Again, I wasn't there, I don't know

He should have stoped the old man from thanking/greeting or begging him like that. The wise thing to do was to stand up and hold the old. Shaking an elder with one hand is also frowned at in Nigeria.

Sycophancy, boot-licking and eye-service have continued to maintain a banal presence in the Nigerian society. From the corridors of power, educational institutions, worship centres to the work place the story remains the same. When things like this happen we sheepishly wave them away. But still, let all the learned say what they can.

Africa and their freaky cultures

The cultures and laws are enforced only on the less privileged.

No sa you go they shop your papa mates flat-tummy-on-the-floor greetings if you gat the dough.

Only banana is what the monkey understand.
