I have so much love for Yoruba culture (the OG culture, not the Gen Z version). The respect for elders is unmatched—no matter how successful you are, you must bow or prostrate.

If you’ve ever lived with a Yoruba grandma, you know the drill: she’ll summon you just to land a hot slap for a 'lazy' greeting , usually accompanied by some 'light' abuses . Honestly, very interesting people.
