I'm quite entertained by the fact that there has been almost zero serious counterpoint. All we have are people complaining about the length of the thread or saying that we shouldn't discuss the issue.


That means my aim has been achieved.

Who said that Obasanjo does not shake hands with women? I said that President Obasanjo did not shake hands with northern women or specifically, women who wore hijabs. Read the post again and then watch the video. Did you watch the video? Did you hear what he said in the video? smiley
Most northern ladies do not shake hands with people outside their family. I believe he was just following the Islamic laws which seem to forbade handshakes between opposite sexes.

Just stop passing your conjectures and faux opinions as facts. They are not..

I'm sure a Northern Muslim and Yoruba Woman have exchanged handshakes somewhere in this country this morning.
Thank you. You have not realised it (and I'm sure that you can't realise it) but you have not said anything that has countered the known Yoruba culture of prostrating or kneeling to elders, neither have you countered the fact that some northern women do not like being touched by men that are not their relatives (I know you can see the video of Obasanjo in Kaduna).

I know these facts don't suit your motive, but I couldn't care less.

I don't know why Buhari didn't extend his hand to Adesoun, and not knowing is fine!

Unless you have a statement from his press secretary or your livebin his thoughts, you also don't know!

He does.
If you do not put your hands forward for the handshake, he may assume you aren’t interested based on your own principle

This is absolute nonsense.
How does who the president choose to hand shake concern me?

I want good governance, some people are crying on how Buhari didn’t shake Remi Tinubu.
The point is that a fanatical mullah, who doubles as a defacto Imam of the administration, glaringly tried to stop the president from shaking the hands of a woman! In the open! Before the cameras..

The issue is not whether Buhari shakes the hands of females or not! He does when he likes..
If such a "powerful minister" can go out of his way to stop the president from doing so, he can also suggest amnesty for islamic militants to the president from his religious high-horse, thereby swelling their ranks and making it intractable for the insurgency to be arrested!

That's consumes more money, resources and ofcourse lives..
That's how that behavior may effect all of us...

I do not need a statement from his press secretary, neither do I need to convince you that I know what was in his mind (which I do know). If you are fine with not knowing, that's you, but you cannot tell me what to say. You still haven't provided any facts to counter my points and I will bloody damn well say what I want and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. grin

Shaking hands is now a concern to some unthinkable citizens. Does that affects Good governance?

If I hold any public position, I WILL MAINTAIN THE CULTURE OF NOT SHAKING WOMEN, why should/will I be forced to

We know how low Reno Omokiri can go as long as he has a multitude of idiots who would join him to celebrate/wail over his fuss.

The President's religious views and actions should not be anyone's major concern as long as it doesn't not pose a threat to the lives of the citizens neither has he broken the Nigerian constitution.

It is rather petty for a so-called pastor to be the first to "judge " another for his religious actions.
An hypocrite I must say.

Until Reno aka. Deputy god, has been able to clear Jonathan of his own religious sins, only then will I take his religious views against President Buhari serious.
Mr man shut up!!!!!!!!!!!

Buhari is cancerous to everything humanity so shut da
f u c k with your hypocrite religion thrash statement.

You are far far faaarrrrrr more idiot than anyone here for shielding the truth in the name of religion.

Bros, your writeup is noteworthy.
But I beg to disagree about the above YouTube video. That patami fellow clearly shielded buhari from any form of interaction with Mrs tinubu. Possibly to enable the president avoid shaking her.
Even the blind can see that.
Patami has a history of avoiding exchanging such pleasantries. His is more extreme than buhari.

Pantami didn't force any damn thing. Everybody has got eyes. After Buhari greeted the first man on the line he came face to face with Remi Tinubu. Either of President Buhari or Mrs Tinubu could have extended a hand for a handshake. Neither did. Pantami was the host and it was his duty to introduce the people on the line. Mrs Tinubu and President Buhari had already spoken. Someone touched Pantami from behind that he should move aside so they could take pictures. He turned round and then introduced the next person on the queue.

This is just a repition of an attempt that was made in 2019. This happened in November 2019 and several threads were created that claimed that President Buhari does not shake women. The same claim was made in 2015. Pantami was only included this time because he's the one trending at the moment. He did not block anybody. Watch the video again. Besides, do you seriously believe that Pantami could have blocked Buhari if Buhari wanted to shake Mrs Tinubu? Seriously?
Dude sm1 tapped pantami from behind truely bt he blocked Remi and directed the president to other people. That is exactly what happened.

It was Buhari who had to awkwardly turn again to remi to greet her nevertheless with a nod in other not to seem like he disregarded her b4 he shook the man pantami directed him to.

It may be nothing bt it doesn’t seem right for official standards.

Students of Greenfield University in kaduna kidnapped, 3 have been killed.
Bandits running riot in Zamfara.
Security men being hunted down in the south east.
Inflation is massive.
Unemployment at all time high.
Food prices above the sky.
Petrol prices so so high.
Massive insecurity everywhere.
No electricity for more than 12 hours a day.
Etc

Yet, all that OP is worried about is Buhari’s handshakehuh

Get headsets and listen to what was said. Remi had already curtsied to Buhari the first time and spoken to him before Pantami came in between them when he was turning. That was before the man tapped him. Buhari was face to face with Remi at that time. If you notice, she curtsied twice. The first time she was face to face with him and the second time he had to look back at her.

There is no way that Pantami would have been able to block Buhari from shaking Remi if he wanted to. In fact, it was when Pantami realised that they were not going to shake that he positioned himself so that he could introduce the next man to Buhari.

naptu2 I guess you haven't been to this northern part of the country. You don't shake their women like. Obasanjo was practically taking caution. So they don't yiel at him. Northerns fit cut him hands for doing such. Tinubu wife ain't a northern she is very well enlighten. For crying out loud

Why then did Buhari awkwardly turn to greet her again? because pantami interrupted intentionally or unintentionally. I know remi by culture may not want to shake Buhari bt still pantami was inappropriate. Period.

Infact the 1st time remi greeted Buhari, pantami was still greeting the president so he actually disregarded remi. It’s very bad of him.

That's it! The question you should ask is, why did Remi and Buhari not exchange handshakes the first time, when they were face to face? Buhari turned because she spoke again. That's when she said, "Very well sir". They could have extended their hands when they were face to face during the first exchange of "Good morning sir" and "Madam senator, how are you", but they didn't and that's when Buhari moved on and Pantami also repositioned himself. Then Remi replied, so Buhari had to look back.


naptu2:
Transcript of what was said in the video.

Buhari: “Honourable minister. Good morning.”

(We can’t hear what Pantami says)

Buhari shakes the hand of the first man in the line without saying anything to him.

Remi Tinubu: “Good morning sir” (and she curtsies)
Buhari: “Madam senator. How are you?”

Remi Tinubu: “Very well sir” (and she curtsies again)

Pantami points to the next man in the line and says: “This is our chairman Senate committee on . . .”

Pantami’s voice is drowned out by the voices of photographers and security men who are jostling for space: “Kai! This man pushed me on you, what is it?”

No u are wrong! When remi greeted 1st time, pantami and Buhari we’re still greeting. Buhari cud not have responded, then pantami blocks her and directs him to other men and she greets again when Buhari has to awkwardly turn and greet her properly. Pantami didn’t care.

When did Buhari say. "Madam senator, how are you"? Get a headset and listen. Remember that Buhari shook another man after greeting Pantami and before greeting Tinubu.
