brain54:
Usually it's against protocol...

But I think this was a reflex action from the president.
Sometimes you unconsciously forget these things!

papyjaypaul:
The only record of President Buhari bowing was at the National Assembly after presenting the budget, a tradition President Jonathan gave Okonjo-Iweala to perform on his behalf

Exousiang01:
Before the white man came we had culture.
The white man brought government and protocol.

In Africa we respect our elders and we have different ways of showing that respect.

It is obvious you are of the Igbo tribe.
That is the only tribe known for not having respect for elders.

In other tribes respect for elders is paramount.

Bardo:


Imagine lying down on the ground at another man’s feet just because they are older than you. What is the gain?

Nobody cares how old you are, it’s what you did with your life that warrants respect

Exousiang01:


President Buhari is older than all these people you posted

papyjaypaul:
How's a culture black man and backwardness? Some of you hate yourself and look for everything to blame

If the white man tells you to use left hand and some crazy rules just to eat food, it is progress but when we eat with our hands, it's inanities. Don't be a slave.

A man without identity is a nobody. The earlier you realise that, the faster you discover yourself. You don't have anything that belongs to you that is unique, you want to imitate people that don't have values, culture and tradition and think you are progressing. The joke is on you

Exousiang01:


Well like I said aside the igbos, the rest of us Nigerians respect our elders.

You seem not to notice that in my first comment.

I have my uncled whos childrens school fees I pay, I have uncles I jave built houses for and some help comeplete their houses or help renovate. But I can never sit down to greet them be it in my house.

If I travek to the village and kill a goat I will never take a piece before the eldest person on the table, i can eat outside no doubt but sitting on that table, my money, my goat, my house, from my kitchen but I will never take a piece of that meat on that table untill the eldest person does......

We are Africans we respect our elders.

Unlike the Igbos who only respect money (stolen mostly)

papyjaypaul:

Ex-President Obasanjo is older than Mr Buhari.

brain54:

Are you the president...?

Protocol is protocol... Stop talking about your village meetings.

Protocol directs how the president should act in public.

And stop bringing tribalism to every thing.

It's disgusting!

Exousiang01:

Read what I said again...

Is ex president Obasanjo in any of the pictures here?

Exousiang01:


I am not the president but as you can see the president also shares the same ideology, hence his show of respect.
If the number citizen is still humble enough to show respect.
Its a nobody like you that feela your opinion counts.
You can go ahead and slap your elders in the morning, your tribe is very well known for that

helinues:
Perhaps, he could have slapped those who are older than him

DMerciful:
He had to bow esp because he lacks legitimacy.

He knows he did not win so he is just pretending to be president. He is president for Yorubas only

LordIsaac:

I’m honestly surprised at the last line of his submission. Why should regard for an elder or anyone for that matter be predicated upon material possessions? I now understand why Nigeria’s image is on a downward spiral.

Bardo:


This is not respect, these are just gestures.

If you like go and jump off a cliff because someone is your elder.

Respect is gained.
