We don't have kings we have appointed kings

King pasd king
Community king is diffrent from national king

christejames:
That is now the old elites regard Southern Traditional Leaders, seeing them as people beneath them because they have amassed some ill-gotten wealth ... Tinubu's subjugation is even worse!

I bet if it's the North that this error of a simple greeting etiquette happened, all hell would have been left loosed.


That's why we need a new leader with a breath of fresh air in Nigeria.


Vote Wisely!

LOL.

So you if PO wins, that will make Atiku bow for a south south king. Una no go kill person for this NL

Most of you didn’t see the video and expect a picture to give you explicit details.

If the king like make him fold him hand, this is not covid 19 era, ATIKU is a gentleman and he's extending his hand of fellowship to akwa ibom king so what's d fuse here again( bcoz d king did stretch his hand) una worry ooo.
Atiku is a house hold name both south & north!

Olodo.

And you think Atiku would stand in front/move his hands to shake the Oba of Benin or most of the other Kings in the SS? Maybe you think he can shake hands with the Sultan of Sokoto or the Emir of Kano?

FreeStuffsNG:
Smh. Probably because the man is not one of the top monarchs in the south and their culture permits such hand shake. It is not strange to see community heads dress and interact casually with the people especially in the SS.

Which one is Akwa Ibom king again? I believe there are more than a tribe in Akwa Ibom state.

Is that trainers that HE Atiku is wearing on Agbada?

Orthopaedic shoes

There are no traditional rulers (kings) south and east of the Niger, only 'Warrant Chiefs' who later manufactured false histories and fraudulently elevated themselves to the post of paramount rulers immediately the white man left the country.

The traditional.governance systems in those parts were highly democratic in nature until the white man came and raised some chiefs above the others (divide and rule) in order to be able to successfully administer the protectorate bearing in mind their limited manpower capabilities.

Orthopaedic shoes

My first thought exactly but I remember I have seen folks in real life dressed like that and they were not orthopaedic shoes ma.

Atikowa.

Okay.

robinso01:
What is he supposed to do? I don't think Hausa/Fulani do prostrate according to their traditio

Do Hausa/Fulani shake there Emir's? Even there Seriki self u can't shake them

It shows Atiku does not respect d Christianity

SmartPolician:
I don't know if this is the case, but any king who has no regards for himself by frolicking with politicians shouldn't expect respect from them.

You're saying trash, so ooni of ife, obi of Onitsha and others that welcome candidates shouldn't also expect respect or because it's akwa ibom and you wanna abring your myopic thinking? FYI greeting traditional rulers as a candidate is customary- unwritten. Get that to your skull bro

That man atiku lack respect for the king, well let him come to benin ,and lie down

ok

So Atiku cannot bowor prostrate for the ibom king...lack of respect...can he do this in the north or his own state

Honestly

timota:
Understanding the tradition will save u people the headache, in Akwa Ibom ,we only bow to God,apart from God everyone is hand shake,even the grand children of the king will still shake him when greeting

My only concern is the king stepping down from his throne to go and greet the man. Does the culture in Akwa Ibom also permits that?

Yes,in Akwa Ibom every kings sees himself subject to a greater being God,while the kings in other kingdoms sees themselves as a god

Guy, leave that thing. It doesn't add up. The king here either lacks the understanding of or commonizes the values of the throne. Even you talking won't leave your seat to greet a lesser person, which Atiku is in this regard.

Having political power is just about you but being a monarch is like the people carrying you on their shoulders and here you are stepping down from that shoulder to greet a man.

The man disrespect not just himself, his people but the South South in general.

nesphil:
You fooooools won't let us hear a word.
This handshake doesn't stop Akwa Ibom from growing ok.
We don't worship kings where we come from, except God Almighty.
You can go ahead and worship yours if he's the one that's putting food on your table ok.

which God do you worship? Can you worship God?
