You are so right there and it has gotten to a point if you are rude to me then I don’t give you no respect, will never call you aunty, uncle or use Sir or Ma. I don't go on my knee to greet nobody expect my parent which is very rare.

Rude is there favorite word Cheesy Cheesy even they’ve give up on me since they know am never going to change.

But whenever am trying to ignore the greeting, i either use my cell phone has an excuse or put a big frown on my face to keep them away from me.

IMHO, no one has decultured is that even a word? our culture. Things change and so should we. I'm sure it was once cultural to sacrifice human to the gods. There are things you just have to get rid of. I particularly find the kneeling down greeting funny but again thats someone's culture.
