Why can't you lot respect other people's culture(s)? Is that too difficult to do?

FYI, there are tons of cultures around Africa and in world where they practice something similar to that...

Anyway, go preach your dimwitted and git-esque pseudo-modern gibberish to Obama and tell him to stop bowing down to other world leaders..

Maybe Obama too is primitive to bow down for Japanese emperor

devour129: my dear I believe you have never had anything to do with Yoruba people for you to say this.am Igbo to but I won't trade my Yoruba friends for anything or anybody on earth.i schooled in ife and had the opportunity to interact with core Yorubas from different states. They have a very open heart, respectful and there guys are hot. All in all they are not all hypocrites,they have the good and bad just like us igbos and I love the fact that they continue to preserve their language and culture

dont mind the fucktards
u dont like the bowing down or prostating ... leave it at that ..

but dont carry it and smear a whole tribe ....

I no fit comment,dis thread pass my strength! To those sharing their views,saluta!

If we can kneel for our pastors, why not our parents and our elders. Ibos, you need to upgrade your cultures to God's acceptable standard.

culture is culture and nothing can take that away from us

kennykool4u: culture is culture and nothing can take that away from us

@OP I dnt think dis is d best platform to seek advice on issues concerning your MIL, your husband and close relative should be in d position to let U in on d do's and donts of the family and how u can easily win d heart of ur In-Laws. The fact that yorubas are more cultured does not mean they practicalise d same thing everywhere, the way U'll relate to MIL in a village in Ibadan is sure quiet different from how U will treat d one based in Lagos.

CUlture is very important. Each tribe has its own culture. Some shake hands, some curtsey, some bow, some kiss and so on....
There is no point saying this is the 21st century. all cultures have existed through the ages and will continue to. No need to hate a culture.
@op....i think you should have waited till your MIL focused on you before u went on your knees. that way we all will be able to clarify if she left you on your knees on purpose. I am yoruba and i know that my mom will never consent to her DIL kneeling down for ages. Her DIL's dont even kneel down with both knees again and she doesnt notice.. Like a poster said initially, she already knows what they are capable of. Since nobody compelled you to kneel, y complain? i do not c any big deal in you kneeling for yur MIL o....na her culture but u need to get up immediately except shes praying from you. Most older women i know sef will help you up...
No need for tribal war abeg... if u dont like a particular culture, no one asked u. u can like to keep quiet ..thanks

Thank you very much for this comment. This is what I would have done if I were in her shoes.

When there are so many people greeting a much older person, I wait till others have greeted till I greet. That way, I get the attention I want because I hate to greet and not being acknowledged.

What I do and still do is the whole kneeling down and hugging them at the same time pose, before my knees reach the floor, they will carry me up.

If my relationship is not at the body contact stage, I will just knee down and stand up immediately but continue greeting them unless as someone rightfully said they are praying for you.

Poster, hypocrisy or not, bi won se se ni ilu ti wa, ewo ibomiran ni meaning what is done in a town might be a taboo in another. That is how it is done and that is what you should do. Period. Watch your husband I am sure your husband don prostrate tire in his life!

On a side note, while i understand why Obama did this, i cant help but ponder what was going on in OJUYOBO BUSH's head. I mean, dude, you are the most powerful man on earth, you don't bow to no one.

Why would the richest man in a country still pontificate for the pope man
Even kings and presidos bow
It's called culture and respect for other's traditions man

In japan the oldest and richest people bow to the emperor



Some don't like it but we do

Uju knows how to push the right buttons
