Man Kneels Before Godswill Akpabio In Akwa Ibom State, Sparks Outrage (Photos) by CastedDude: 9:40am On May 27, 2018 |
An outrage has been sparked among online users after a young man was seen kneeling down before the former state governor; Senator Godswill Akpabio while holding the lawmaker's branded campaign T-shirt as others looked on. Human rights activist and lawyer, Inibehe Effiong was joined by other netizens who took to Facebook to criticize the senator and the young man after the pictures emerged online. Below is what the lawyer wrote; It will take decades for us to recover from the brutal damage that Godswill Akpabio has inflicted on the psyche of Akwa Ibom people. How a man who struggled in Lagos State like I am struggling now before Governor Victor Attah brought him home to serve as a Commissioner suddenly assumed the position of Alpha and Omega baffles me. The so-called political youths have turned themselves to willing slaves and tools in the hands of a dictator who could not create jobs for them. What else will make a young and energetic young man to kneel before a fellow human being like him holding a shirt bearing the face of the dictator if not mental slavery and low self-esteem? Why is it so difficult for these people to see that Akpabio is just an ordinary human being like every other person and not a supernatural being? This is neither humility nor respect for elders. In Akwa Ibom culture, we do not kneel to greet our elders. We do not even bend to greet. This is idolatry. SLAVES IN LOVE WITH THEIR CHAINS.

This is very wrong.. sometimes I wonder how Nigerians reason.. Why should you kneel down for someone while you are legitimately pursuing your hustle. there are other ways to respect the senator without kneeling down. That is one of the reasons why Nigeria keeps going backward because we worship our leaders. What happened to the man's legs, are they for fancy or what.. Why didn't the senator tell the young man to stand up when he knelt down..that is because he loves being worshiped. In civilized countries, you dare not kneel down like a slave while relating your ideas to a superior .. If your work is very good and you are talented, you don't need to kneel down to win contracts... See how former US ingredient Obama relates with those working for him and see how Nigerian politicians relate with their subordinates just because they are more privileged. Nonsense.

Jlow2:God bless you bro! In Nigeria you have to pretend you are a fool to gain advantage, it does not imply that you are a fool. In 2015 Buhari, the dullard had to ditch his so called integrity just to secure some advantages. He was a regular guest at church functions, he was in the company of criminals to pay homage to Obasanjo at Ota . We know the rest of the story today. In the animal farm the smartest animals get the lion portion. Make una dey dier dey criticise dey guy moro if Akpabio make am him successor na una go still use that same mouth talk am. 5 Likes |

Hmm. Watched America got talent several times and you will see kids calling the judges by their names freely. Over respect of Nigerians too much abeg. Well, it's because they have turned our rights to privileges. You might be interested. Check link. www.nairaland.com/4519992/neat-samsung-s7-edge-4gb |

So has it become a bad thing to kneel before an elder? This is Africa and it is part of our culture and tradition to kneel before our elders when talking with them. 2 Likes |
