Why are people excusing rudeness. This is how white people are above the law in Africa angry

I thought Nigerians had respect for their culture.

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.



Will Buhari, Trump or Putin kneel when they meets with her

Kneeling before the Queen is usually done by women. Men have their own way of paying their respect.

I read u very well but seems u didn't read me well. Am not making a conclusive statement but just d same u assume d guy didn't kneel down just by looking is same am assuming there's a likelihood that he has done his own kneeling cos looking @d pix he isn't a visitor like d other guys

From the picture, is he kneeling down?

I said, the picture is not enough to make conclusions.

What additional point have you made?

You must like arguments just for their sake.

Now, let's go back. What is the different thing you're saying from what I said?

I was the one who first wrote before you came up with your view.

I still don't know the fresh view or info you're providing.

I've asked you for this view and you're pushing it back to me.

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

Buhari was there with his wife and she didn't kneel to greet her. You don't have the correct information on this greeting thing.

WE SOMALIS ARE ARYAN RACE ACCORDING TO WIKIPEDIA! ADOLF HITLER ADMIRED SOMALIS. EVEN BRITISH SAID WE ARE NOT AFRICAN! I SAY WE SOMALI BROTHERS SHOULD FOLLOW NAZI AND HITLER PRINCIPLES TO FIX OUR HOMELANDS! WE MUST PUT ASIDE QABIL AND CLAN AND BE ONE SOMALI NATION! WE NEED A STRONG LEADER LIKE A SOMALI HITLER TO MAKE US GREAT AGAIN. WE MUST STOP THE RACE MIXING AND ELIMINATE RACE TRAITORS! OUR WOMEN BELONG TO US, IF THEY HAVE SEX OR GET PREGNANT BY A NON SOMALI WE MUST KILL MOTHER AND CHILD. WE NEED TO START THIS PROCESS NOW TO HAVE A THOUSAND YEARS REICH! HEIL HITLER! SIEG HEIL 88!
