THLD GROUP,VITOL GROUP AND UBA GROUP paid a courtesy visit to the palace of His imperial majesty the Ooni of ife.The visit was in a bid of promoting clean fuel and keeping Nigeria cleaner,greener and less polluted with the use of LPG(cooking gas) as an alternative fuel for cars,trucks,buses and generators.

During the visit,the blacks were pictured kneeling down to greet the Ooni while the whites did not.The photos generated mixed reactions from Nigerians.

There's also a black man not kneeling down.

So what's your point?

The picture is therefore not enough to make any reliable conclusion.

We don't know why the black guys are kneeling down
We don't know how long the black guys spent kneeling down
We don't know if the black guy NOT kneeling down never knelt down
We don't know if the black guy NOT kneeling down ever knelt down
We don't know if the white guys ever knelt down
We don't know if the black guys kneeling down chose to do it

It all depends on wether or not the Ooni of ife has created a particular protocol of decorum to be observed by visitors to his palace.

Her Majesty the Queen of England has her own set of etiquette and protocols to be observed when receiving visitors and those rules apply to everyone who makes an official visit to Buckingham Palace, regardless of whether you are British or a foreigner.Even Theresa May, the Prime Minister of Britain has to comply with etiquette and kneel when she meets with the Queen. Over there kneeling is called curtsying:



Maybe unlike the British monarch, the Ooni does not feel the need of imposing the same rules of etiquette and public decorum on both his subjects and non subjects.

Afonja and mumuism na 5 & 6. An Igbo man will never kneel for anybody no matter who you be.
And ofcourse if kneeling has a handsome price. grin grin

Because it's not their culture to do so. On the contrary, we are trained to honor the white man always, irrespective of our own culture. Even our Kings go to England and bow down to the queen of England, as well as speak as if to prove to her they could speak the English language very well.
