President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), Mr. Akinwumi Adesina visited foemer President Buhari in Kaduna to express his deep appreciation for the incredible support he received during his nomination for President of the AfDB by former President Jonathan and throughout his re-election.

“You stood by me in difficult times, and it made all the difference. Thank you, Sir.” He told PMB.

the yoruba tribe is really known for honoring elders like that and he’s a true omoluabi.

Ethos of omoluabi lukumi

Why is this a big deal? He is a Yoruba man. Buhari is his elder and also his benefactor. This man will go to his village and do the same to the elders that are benefiting from him. It is a manner of greeting to show respect and humility in Yoruba land

Omo Yoruba to gbe'ko. Omofiwabi

If you want to live long, give respect to your elders

Impressive

As an Igbo man, I wonder how many times the average Yoruba man has to wash his hands in a day after doing this?

As a Yoruba man I find it awkward to prostrate before someone who is not Yoruba no matter how old or what he has done. A respectful bow is enough. This is just eye service

Bitter developers will soon invade this thread with insults and hateful comment

He wouldn't have gotten the job without Buhari. It is only normal to show appreciation except he lack home training.

You are not a real ogidi omoluabi

So far is an elderly person we respect age and authorities

Hehe

Stop being silly. I'm definitely more Yoruba than you. As a Yoruba man it's not necessary to prostrate before a Fulani man or ibo man who doesn't have that in his culture. Do you think Akinwumi would prostrate to greet his hausa maiguard even if the maiguard is older? No! This is just eye service

You have spoken the truth.
Unlike that, one ingrate's tribe full of chest beaters. Throughout Buhari's tenure, their son occupied number one position in the CNB; Buhari built the most expensive project of his administration in their region, yet they said he didn't do anything for them

It is easy

Just see him as an Elder

Just the way I do. You can even be mock when you're doing that to any tribe outside Yoruba.

I don't care about living long, I only care about doing the right thing.

Definitely, Akinwumi will not call his maigadi, who is older than him, by his name directly, for instance, say "Musa". Unlike that tribe whose people wake their parents with bicycle kicks, Akinwumi will add "Baba" to the name.

This is indeed a significant issue because we have certain tribe in Nigeria where people disrespect their parents to the extent of waking them up with bicycle kicks, let alone showing disrespect to an elder from another tribe. We need to promote habits like this, especially when they come from respected individuals like Akinwumi. This way, our misguided brothers from that region can learn from and adopt better manners.

Na you be original are. This is not part of omoluabi ethos. Will you prostrate for your Hausa maiguard even if he's older?

Dindinrin. Akinwumi was elected presumptive president of Afdb before Buhari became president.

Will he prostrate for his Hausa maiguard who is older than him?
