To prostrate to greet your elders isn't a sign of humility but a respect to your culture which says you must do so.
So many men/women will prostrate to greet you and end up making love secretly with your wife or husband.

You are afraid and trying to reassure yourself. You are your own enemy not me. Fear yourself and your mouth not me. It is your mouth you should fear
No one will harm you if your head refuses it. What the pig unearths with its mouth it does not bury again
When you get to the point where you
should turn left or right your mouth will guide you
You are doing well

There is no joke bro.
In Yoruba land dobale is serious business. It is a Ritual of humility. You do not know and I corrected you not just for yourself but for others reading the thread.

It is a very important ritual in marriage , religion and even in the coronation of kings. A king traditionally in some places would perform a dobale for every single person he encountered during a set period never to dobale again after coronation

So when you say it is not a sign of humility you are displaying ignorance. That is the ONLY purpose of idobale
It has no other function
What he is trying to say is that, humility that does not come from the heart is no humility at all, it's eye services, and an act of cowardice, a traditionally imposed act of humility does not portray ones true character rather it's just an obligation, that's why a Yoruba man can prostrate before you but insult you immediately you turn your back to leave

Why you dey enter motor today when you can walk and run or use horse or canoe as your culture did years ago?... Why not use talking drum instead of your cell phone?

Only thing static in life is death... My point is with all this prostate we no still get NEPA and clean water to drink as Nigerians and una no want to change where possible?

The same Obasanjo as a president did things then that indirectly and negatively impacted millions of Nigerians that were older than him... He did not prostate for the elders in your village that had no food or health care or roof over their head or provide them any social support but una dey talk about prostrate.

A base fellow will always find base proverbs, base analogies. Inside his head it makes a lot of sense

His words should give you insight into his character

See this one. Extending hand to greet an elder in Yoruba land is an highest form of disrespect..u can only sake an elder here when he extends his,and u dare not sake him with two hands. Don't compare your culture to ours pls. They're miles apart.
And mind you,there's a huge gap btw bowing and prostrating. Dem no be same undecided

You people want to copy everything American.

Go to China where they bow when greeting parents, where you call strangers who are older than you aunty and uncle but this same China is the most technological advanced country in the world.

Preservation of culture heritage does not make you less advanced or modern.
Don't mind those mumu ''woke generation''. As advanced as Britain is,they don't joke with their culture in terms in building structure and monarchy stystem. They take both seriously. Some people will just come online making stupid comparison without have deep knowledge of wat they're are comparing.

This aspect of the culture only teaches eye service and not true respect.

When you will still go ahead to do in secrete that which you would not do in the presence of that your senior who you postrate for morning and night.

I call it yimu!

In the words of Wole Soyinka,"If I only kneel to God why should I prostrate to you?"
You bow or kneel to God to accord him respect and honour. The same way, your elders, father, mother and community leaders deserve some respects and honour from you. God creates the world, but he doesn't make everyone equal. Some are higher than you by virtue of their age, some by virtue of wisdom and some by virtue of their office. As long as the person is not your equal, as long as the person deserves to be honored, Yoruba culture mandates you to honour him.

Many of them are depraved minds. Quite bitter and negative oriented people who come online just to insult people of different etnhnity /culture as though they are superior in any sense...they should really be ignored.
BlackPantherxXx:
The guy you quoted and others stylishly insulting Yoruba culture are FLATIN0s, don't waste your time on them.

They are never here to learn but to insult.
