What is he supposed to do? I don't think Hausa/Fulani do prostrate according to their traditio

They bow and squat

Akwa Ibomites don't prostrate to greet, they can't copy others but it's wrong to shake an elderly person with one hand, talkless of shaking a king.

That's how to greet political chief, you cannot try that with oba of Benin kingdom, the know born you well.

Who brought this post here? Can you tell us the traditional mode of greeting a monarch in ibibio? I like to believe you are not up to some fishy info droppings?

no be human being.


fg and sg makes sure these fakes parading as royals all over Nigeria get salaries every month and year, but will owe civil servants and deprive Nigerians for months and years. Both the government and the fakes masquerading as royals, don't bother. As long as they can oppress the people, everything is fine.

SmartPolician:
I don't know if this is the case, but any king who has no regards for himself by frolicking with politicians shouldn't expect respect from them.

Was that why Thiefnuibu disrespected the Ooni below

buksarki:
Tinubu will be the worstest leader if he ever elected as president go mark my word. Only when election is drawing near you will see him doing give away but Peter Obi has been showing empathy to Nigeria even when he never considered of running for president. See your Tinubu prostrating for kalu mother all because of election but fail to prostrate to Yoruba king.

ITbomb:
1. That is not Akuku Annang, it is Oku Ibom Ibibio

2. Akwa don't prostrate traditionally, we shake hands, pat on the back or embrace. We don't kneel or prostate

But why's the man not sitting to greet him? Why leave your seat as a traditional ruler to greet someone? That's very wrong.

These two-for-kobo monarchs sef!



Make e go try that "morofoko" with the Oba of Benin make e know how far if that him hand no go shrink like tiko meat.



The Oku was perhaps expecting some dollars in return for his servitude!






IDIOTA!

Idle men and seeking attention to gain vantage po#ition when the political dollar will be up for grabs.ì

Atiku is an active failure, he will definitely fail again. Usually a presidential aspirant

I don't think the controversy is about bowing , but the contradictory gesture by which the two hands met. Atiku must have been well informed about their tradition regarding greetings before meeting the monarchy.

You fooooools won't let us hear a word.
This handshake doesn't stop Akwa Ibom from growing ok.
We don't worship kings where we come from, except God Almighty.
You can go ahead and worship yours if he's the one that's putting food on your table ok.

What are you trying to say? Atiku is now from Akwa Ibom state right that he can't prostrate to greet.

Maybe he taught, HE Atiku would observe COVID-19 Protocol but HE Atiku knew that COVID-19 was a scan.

Understanding the tradition will save u people the headache, in Akwa Ibom ,we only bow to God,apart from God everyone is hand shake,even the grand children of the king will still shake him when greeting

There are kings but one is always higher than others in terms of office.
Oku ibom ibibio is the President General of Akwa ibom State Traditional Rulers Council.

if a handshake with the king is acceptable here, I don't know why all these urchins are complaining here.

FreeStuffsNG:
Smh. Probably because the man is not one of the top monarchs in the south and their culture permits such hand shake. It is not strange to see community heads dress and interact casually with the people especially in the SS.

Which one is Akwa Ibom king again? I believe there are more than a tribe in Akwa Ibom state.

Is that trainers that HE Atiku is wearing on Agbada?

Atiku abubakar handshake akwa ibom king

Fulani don't respect anybody in the south. To them, you are all slaves. Only you can given yourself value, vote wisely

You're an idiooooooot,
You people have been worshipping your oba for centuries now, how has that put food on your table nor brought development to Benin

if a handshake is an acceptable mode of exchanging pleasantries between a man in the class of Atiku, then why are you urchins crying more than the bereaved

sagitariusbaby:
This Traditional ruler no get level na, when Atiku reach Benin nobody go tell am how to respectfully greet Oba of Benin. Level pass level and na packaging they show am.

if a handshake is an acceptable mode of exchanging pleasantries between a man in the class of Atiku and the Monarch, then people shouldn't complain.

All Kings are political as far as Nigeria is concerned and that's the truth.
And it wouldn't even make sense if a King is apolitical.

emmabest2000:
Atiku be like ....
Iam richer than any akwa ibom man

Why will I bow to their king

Abo-ki mentality

Thiefnuibu must be an aboki asslicking wannabee Fulani then, going by your logic, not so

NaijaRoyalty:
…Says Buhari doesn’t have my kind of money

Eniola Akinkuotu, Abuja

All Progressives Congress chieftain, Bola Tinubu, has again stated that he is richer than Osun State and that he indeed said he was richer than Osun State during the run-up to the Osun State governorship election last year.

This comes months after Tinubu’s media team had claimed the APC chieftain was quoted out of context.

Tinubu had during the countdown to the Osun governorship election last September, paid a visit to the Ataoja of Osogbo, Oba Jimoh Olanipekun, where he boasted that he was richer than Osun State.

While addressing party faithful ahead of the postponed Presidential and National Assembly elections in Lagos last Thursday, the former governor of Lagos State said he indeed made the statement but he did not know he was being recorded.

The APC chieftain also boasted that President Muhammadu Buhari did not possess the kind of money he can steal, adding that he did not even need to go to the Government Secretariat, Alausa, before he could get money.

He said, “They insulted me and said I used my mouth to speak anyhow. However, that rough-handedness paid off in Osun. They claimed that we brought candidates from Lagos to become governors in Osun; people like (Rauf) Aregbesola and (Gboyega) Oyetola.

“If we train your children, and they become experts in their fields, won’t we ask them to come home to make things better? How much is your money that I’ll embezzle? You can’t match my pocket. I told them so, and their traditional rulers were seated.

“They were even recording the incident and published it.

that was too fast. Throwing fact directly like that. Calm down

i dont blame Atiku but the Governor Udom........As u lay ur bed, u lie down same

For this insult, Akitu, you will fail come 2023

You are very correct

The Oku Ibom set the stage by standing up from his throne. How do we blame Atiku? Ooni, Olu of Warri, Oba of benin would never stand up from their throne to greet a politician.

When first class meets second class. Na so dem de do

Pitiable handshake from the King to Atiku who jumped into the 2023 presidential race solely to avoid a possibility for any southerner in PDP to succeed President Buhari.
From Day 1, Atiku's presidential ambition had centred on power to his north.
