If a man leads an orderless life, then there should be little surprise that there is chaos after he dies.

It seemed kind of appropriate, given the title of this thread

hmm

Malawian: is that why yoruba men's buttocks always look fat? Are those adult diapers y'all are spotting?

Aha.

It looks like we've now gotten to the heart of the matter.

So...at what age did you first realize that you enjoyed looking at men's buttocks more than women's?

Anyway, it is time for me to go to sleep.

But...don't think because i don't have time to dive into threads like this these days that I do not have the ability to wax you.

Be careful...if you boast too loudly, the BEAR will hear your voice and come after you

My own elders?

Well, me, I am not the most respectful man. I probably do 135 degrees, something like this:

pretty far away from the full 90.

I just do the bare minimum necessary, personally

But some obviously will do better.

Also, I never mentioned "kick." I only said beat. You are the one who introduced that word.

So you kick your elders, too?

That is quite brutish.

If not, how many times have you beaten your mother?

When your mother did not prepare food for you when you came home, how many times did you beat her senseless, Malawian?

What of the elderly driver your family employs, how many times did you beat him for showing up late?

Long story short, in some cultures, there is respect (even if only symbolic) for people older than you.

In others, there is not. One can even beat up an elderly person in some of these bush cultures.

So of course, if someone comes from these backwards cultures, they will not be able to understand what civilized peoples do.

Hence this thread

Heh in some cultures you are even supposed to dobale for elders

When i go to my hometown, inclining my head is the least i can get away with without seeming rude.

Why don't you stick to analyzing your own Igbo cultural norms, and leave this to others.

Or maybe Tinubu should have done this:

I don't know...why don't you look up the age difference and calculate.

The most important question is...are they age mates?

And if the answer to this question is 'NO', then perhaps you should inquire as to what gestures one does for people older than you in Yorubaland

A lot of the issue here is that we have an Igbo (Malawian) trying to interpret a culture that he doesn't understand.

In Igboland, perhaps it is unnecessary to treat people older differently than you'd treat your age mates.

However, in certain other parts of the world, the expectation are different

Buhari is in his 70s or 80s, no?

Tinubu is in his 50s, no?

In Yoruba culture, does one simply shake hands with someone older than you? Let alone 20 or 30+ older than you?

Scroll up......the post is pretty hard to miss.

I will even quote it again, since your eyesight seems poor:
[quote author=ekt_bear]Let me quote my post again, since no one seems to have come up with a response for it:


So, what is the expectation for Yoruba when interacting with people much older than themselves?[/quote]

You are dodging the response and instead yarning dust

face the response i gave

Let me quote my post again, since no one seems to have come up with a response for it:
[quote author=ekt_bear]Isn't this standard for people 30+ older than you, in Yorubaland?

Or are you just supposed to shake someone's hand when they are much older than you?[/quote]So, what is the expectation for Yoruba when interacting with people much older than themselves?

We are right here....come at me

Isn't this standard for people 30+ older than you, in Yorubaland?

Or are you just supposed to shake someone's hand when they are much older than you?

how is redenominating different from introducing new bills?

Same thing, no?

nairaland is quite funny and entertaining

babarazy: i hope dis wont discourage my facebook love frm coming to see me.

[quote author=~Bluetooth]Why should a southerner rule over a northern territory ? I for once will not even want any other ethnic group to rule over yoruba territories.Abuja belongs to northerners,so southerners should keep off that axis ![/quote]why is it called the federal capital terroritory, then?

If no southerner is permitted to be FCT minister, then rename it the northern capital territory and create a southern capital territory...

SmoothCrim: They were all Yorobbers

Probably not.
