@bolded,

You're so ignorant and this is a terrible way to show it. You need to acquaint yourself with the Royal family official engagements & understand their positive impacts across the world, especially the third world countries.

They are also heavy stakeholders in charities across the world. They help to strike business deals as well & more importantly they're a symbol of identity for UK.

The Royal Family contribute to the GDP of the UK.

Exactly....I had to be sure I was on nairaland...because last I checked ..this is Nigeria and we still run monarchy system on some levels even though we have governors and local government chairmen...we bow and kneel to these kings ....I've never seen any Nigerian protesting against bowing or kneeling to the oba of Lagos or Ooni of Ife...so I don't understand the where the condemn against this woman is coming from especially from we Nigerians that even bow and kneel to HR officers when we go for interviews

Lol

I'm not doubting thier power or influence . Am just saying what did dey even do to warrant such treatment , they're only powerful because the people made them so, nothing else

This is the most ignorant comment for the ages abi you think say na Pastor? You can't even say that about the Pope or Saudi king

skywalker240:

And me, i was thinking it was the queen of England my head is stil thinking about it

Nah. It's the prime minister and you're welcome!

Nigerians that readily and happily dip and roll themselves in pit latrines in the presence of even filthy moneybags are also criticising a prime minister for bowing to a crown prince?.... This same Nigeria where a large part of its population is willing to suckle on the asses of men of God gods of men?

Meanwhile was it not a 90 years old OBj, a military general that was seen lying face down in front of the 40 year old swagger dude of Ife?

The OP posted a tweet from just one human being, an agreived American charlatan. A Trump loving, Obama hating, right-wing nutjob who has a history of racism and hatred towards the European Union.

The British peoples love their royals and this much was evident during the last Royal Wedding. Royalty remains the most assured bond of the United Kingdom and represents the last bastion of protection for democracy and sanity in that country whenever things seem to be heading toward the extremes. The Brits are a very cultural people who pride in manners and gerontocratic respect, something the rather brash Americans are unfamiliar with.

A poll conducted as recently as February 2018 confirmed that over 80% of Brits favour monarchy and therefore the Royals are not leaving anytime soon irrespective of what ideas silly Trumpsters have up their arse!!

so what makes them powerful ? Educate me Mr intelligent . Do you think if the British people say they no longer want monarchy system to continue , that the queen can do anything about it ? . They are only powerful because the people made them so , period

This May is a joke. I've never seen nor read in the past about any British PM so desperate to keep his/her job such like May.

idiota!

A class in history will tell you all you need to know about the contributions of the Royal family. They're an asset. Did they dash them? If they decide to abolish it they can BUT they won't. Some countries like France got rid of their monarchs yet a good number of them regret that decision today.

A 61 years old grandma and PM almost kneeling for a 37 years old grandson of the Queen? I think you missed this. That so called Prince should be on his belly lying down for the PM.

@bolded,

She has no kids.

Yoruba woman

Thanks for the compliment.

Phoenix616:
That one is even royalty, what this nauseating bow to a former dictator?

what about those bowing to nnamdi kanu and the one licking his urine?

DTaj:
I have just read a lot of thrash from the younger generation regarding the British Prime Minister's greeting approach. For God's sake, this is respect for royalty, history, and culture at play!

One of the reasons the world is a worse place to live than in the past is the ignorant, daft, thinking by the younger generation (40 and below) that everything steeped in the past regarding culture, tradition, and history is bad!

When has showing due regard for royalty become a bad thing? When has deferring to culture become outdated, old, dirty, and unworthy?

One nincompoop, irritating nitwit wrote somewhere that he would greet an Obi, Emir, Sultan, Igwe, Oba stretching his hands first, be at the same level, and look at him straight in the face. I replied: "Go ask your father/mother how it is done".

The world has gone mad...


Haughtiness, pride, 'chip on the shoulder', materialism, etc will kill this generation of young people!

you just entered my mind and stole what I wanted to type..
on point!

ohh

In nigeria we even do worse.its only in nigeria we bow down to pastors and call them our daddy or daddy G.O.We hero praise politicians and we lick the ground they walk on.it is only in nigeria u will see a 75 yr old man shamelessly paying homage to a common yahoo boy wearing blings cos he's inside a murano.abegi nigeria is ten times worse wen it comes to butt licking.we butt lick ppl with money.

why are people so pained? Is it your bowing??

The custodians of a territory like the British Empire (England, Scotland and Wales) deserves all and more respect than this.

This people (and infact their families) should be acknowledged and respected for their role in keeping that territory safe and governable for these long time.

It is good to have powerful people and families behind the scene that serve as a brace the handle the shock of political ups and downs. Such are the shock observers that ensure stability.

Is it not culturally appropriate ?


Life is multicultural.

Culture must evolve in keeping with the needs of every society with the passage of time.

do you know what this family has done for the u.k? they have laws that back these families. let them be and mind your biz....

Does her greeting not keeping up with her society?

Do the technologically advanced Japan that still bow while greeting, not keeping with the needs of the Japanese society? Are they losing their essence through that mode of greeting?

GREATESTPIANIST:
una like wahala, person no greet well, una go talk, person greet well, una go still talk!!!! HUMANS!!!!!!!! UNPLEASABLE CREATURES OF WAHALA.......LOL......

As you can see from the screenshots, the people of the United Kingdom are losing interest in this aspect of their culture, which signifies that this particular society is primed for cultural evolution. The Japanese society may not be primed for such evolution and this is inconsequential since there is not reason why all societies must evolve in the same respect simultaneously.

"The people of the United Kingdom' could include immigrants with access to social media .

As an Englishwoman, Theresa May has every right to greet royalty as she deens culturally appropriate.

There is no basis for suggesting that the people mocking her are immigrants with access to social media. Does Glenn Greenwald sound like an immigrant's name? You are reaching beyond the realms of reason to invent an argument.

In any case, we are talking of culture and its natural evolution, and not rights. Of course Theresa May may greet the Royals any which way she chooses, which in fact has nothing to do with what we are talking about, which is the compulsion to do so in adherence to culture.

Culture evolves and will continue to do so whether you like it or not.

Nothing wrong here.
The Prime Minister is an MP.
And for those that do not know yet, ALL UK MPs usually take an oath of allegiance to the QUEEN. I

I (name of Member) swear by Almighty God that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, her heirs and successors, according to law. So help me God.

Depose your Obas, Obis and Sultans first.

The Oba of Ife is how old? Do people much older than him not do him obeisance?
