What is wrong with ppu? So, som1 can't respect his or her elder anymore? I know that on bend knees or not , pipu must say something. Even Tinubu bends his knees wn greeting his elders. Tis is just respect 4 goodness sake. The hatred for this man is getting too crazy . [color=#990000][/color]

hardon1:
That's the way obi greets, especially for people older than him. it's not new

Tambuwal is also older than him abi

frankmoney:
But that is his former boss so nothing new ,plus atiku is like an elder states man

In fact Atiku should be older than him so what is this nonsense from all these tifinubu paid urchins are bothering about. Anything PO do is a problem

But it could be sign of weakness if it was WIKE abi? Hypocrites everywhere

tonesky:
Being respectful is not a sign of weakness. Atiku seniors him by age and also was his former Boss. The busy bodies want to take advantage of every situation to make themselves relevant. We remain resolute and wouldn't join your gutter politics. Ndi Ara!

Peter Obi is know to be a sl@ve. Yes Daddy. 😂😂😂😂

Agbado English.....illiterate.

DoctorAyukebot:
So you greet everyone ten years older with a knee down..

So person wey senior you with a decade no senior you enough to greet with bent knee?

Some form of humbleness just look pretentious. I don't know what is wrong about standing upright and greeting elders from an outside culture perspective. But trust politicians to go any length to buy trust and support.

But if it was WIKE something is wrong abi ? Hypocrites everywhere una go get sense in this nairaland by fire by force

keemsleek:
Rubbish talk. What's wrong in greeting someone older than him and a respective way. Chocho everywhere. He's done nothing wrong.

Data boys should do better. Is this the only fault they can find on Peter Obi? Agbadorians are pathetically shameless.

It's normal with politicians.
Nothing new

But it couldn't have been sign of respect if it was WIKE? Hypocrites everywhere

Brendaniel:
Nothing new here, it's just sign of respect...

Is TINUBU not is elder? Did he ever great TINUBU in bent position?

AbdulAkpan:
Peter Obi has always greeted his elders on his bent knees. He is a complete definition of respect.

Na so Tinubu take greet Buhari on bent knees then, we all know where he (Tinubu) is now and what he is doing to all of us.
Na so all sorts of Videos and Pictures trended then, meant to ridicule him but now he is sending us running in different directions.
Let's focus on the important things in this country and stop shenanigans...

But it could be new if it was WIKE abi? Hypocrites everywhere

Nothing is wrong here in this video, is it only Atiku he greeted while bending.... In Yoruba land u dare not greet an elderly person while standing straight even the person is a pauper , it's not weakness but respect, besides Atiku is older richer politically... So

One is humble, the other is proud. Or is it respect?

when a yoruba politician does it, you guys term it respecting your elders and use it to boast of how respectful the people from that region are.

but when Obi does it, it becomes low self esteem.

i have never seen this type of hypocrisy in my entire life.
omo
i fear who nor fear SW people oo
haa

Nothing much to report about.

Naturally, Atiku is older than Obi. Obi is just being natural and respective to an elderly man.

Is it out of desperation for Peter Obi to bend for Aminu Tambuwal who was his "junior" in the league of former governors?

It is a sign of inferiority complex, desperation or gross incompetence - calling a mad man the groom, to achieve one's aim.

The Yorubas and the Hausas are not the one that suppose to complain about this because it is part of their culture.
What is the big deal about somebody bending to greet another person.
It shows humility, most of us do this regularly without minding.
If u have not done this before to anyone older or younger than you.

KNOW THAT YOU ARE A PROUD PERSON.

Politics aside, Atiku is old don’t father Peter Obi, after all even Obi married his wife when she was 17, such a woman will have Obi as a child at Atiku’s current REAL age

He and his crew condemn it when others do.

But they told us that igbos don't bow for anyone? Abi my eyes dey pain me?

fergie001:

the joke is on you guys
everyday u guys keep giving Nigerians reasons not to vote tinubu and APC.
if it is fashola greeting Tinubu like this, you will sing his praise to high heaven and start telling how humble and respectful he is,

but Obi does it, it becomes an issue for you.
you guys should learn integrity and stick to one thing, not today you change mouth based what suits you.

you think you are bantering Obi, rather exposing yourselves.
Tell Tinubu to perform.
All these wont make people vote him except we feel the impact of his govt.

Is that how Tinubu is also known for being a slave to his Fulani family?

The Ayédèrú man who has a different name from his Mogaji mother, pretends to be Yoruba when he is clearly not from the south west.

Tinubu rules out alliance with CPC

Prospect of a possible alliance between the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN and Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, was dashed yesterday in Kano as the leader of the party and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu described CPC as parading “expired leadership.”

Tinubu told ACN supporters in Kano during the party’s Presidential rally that: “What Nigerians need now is a transformation in leadership” as obtained in the advanced economy.

The two-term Governor of Lagos State explained that the leadership of ACN was offering Nigeria the brilliance of Nuhu Ribadu who, he said, is in the class of Nicolas Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain, Medvedev of Russia and Barack Obama of the United States of America.

“What has CPC got to offer? We certainly don’t need expired leadership as we are offering the best in terms of brilliance, courage and patriotism in the class of Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain and Barack Obama of the USA.”

Tinubu’s position came on the heels of Ribadu’s declaration penultimate week in Kaduna when he hinted during a political rally of a joint ticket between the two opposition parties to confront the dominance of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

The national leader of ACN criticised President Goodluck Jonathan for shying away from the national debate held last Friday, stressing that”that singular act exposed Jonathan as a coward who has nothing to offer.”

Peter Obi is the most respectful Igbo man. Igbo man don't bow for no one.

Atiku is his mentor

Zombidients defending their cult leader. If ns someone else they will be crying and calling the person sycophant.
