You want to know if there are fine or have been good. but "Nigerian Culture" makes asking your elder "how are you" rude. what should you say? Or you shouldn't bother to know if there are fine?

you greet them and Accord them their respect first.

Then you can say " how are you doing sir"

Not "how are you" like he is your mate

Of course I didn't just see them and say how are you like it's my mate. I won't bother asking next time

You will give them their respect first by greeting and not you waiting for them to greet you first, then u responded by "hawauing" them.
