 Culture / Re: Urhobo Waado. by BBillion2: 4:45pm On Feb 09, 2009 |
Hi I am new here and require some insight into Nigerian/Urhobo tribe culture. My wife is Nigerian born in England, i am West indian also born in London. I have met with my wife's family who are very nice people, but there is something i do not understand. When i greet my wifes grandfather, he is polite, but refuses to shake my hand, indeed he pulled his hand out of mine, when i tried to extend mine. Other than that he is cordial. My wife says it's nothing personal, and that he shakes no-ones hand as he is a chief, but i am ALMOST positive that i have seen him shake other peoples hand. Maybe i am just being silly, but genuinely need some advice, on this matter. Thanks in advance |
