That's the way obi greets, especially for people older than him. it's not new
Bloody liar.
How many times have we seen him do that in the past ?

He is a lily-livered ass-licker
Very shameful.

Yet, that will never make him president, if he likes let him prostate for them.

Does he think that they do not know that he is IPOB ?

UrVillageChief:
Or let’s just say Obi is now adopting the Yorubas’ great and noble culture of respecting elders because the last time I checked, an Igbo man bows to no one except his chi (in abakaleke accent)🤣🤣
You getting it wrong cos igbo don't prostrate does not mean they don't bow down has a mode of respect. I'm from Edo state, my place we don't postrate we either bow or bend down has a mode of respect for elderly people. Has old has I am, i postrate for anybody but for my cousin that grew up in edo state they don't. They either bow or bend down but I postrate.

Yoruba people's nightmare. Just as Islam is crumbling all world over so with their sadism crumble too. Give Obi some breathing space. Atiku wasn't the only person he greeted with that gesture there so why the fuse
Hello. ISLAM is the fastest growing religion on earth, how is it crumbling?

Berankis:
Na so Tinubu take greet Buhari on bent knees...
That was just an average Yoruba man being himself.
The Yoruba culture and respect are synonymous. So why on earth should you be surprised that a man who’s lived all his life lying flat on the floor to greet his elders and Kings did greet someone on bent knees?
Like what’s bro on about?
This one is News because it looks pretentious as they (ibos) are fond of saying things like “every man is king in Igbo land” and “an Ibo man bows to no one other than his Chi” now I ask you, is Atiku now the Igbo people’s Chi or his Obi now “copying” and adopting the Yoruba’s noble culture?🤣🤣

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.

Re: Reactions Trail Photo Of Peter Obi Greeting Atiku Abubakar On Bent Knees by Jman06(m): 9:34am On Jan 11
Peter Obi is just showing respect to an elder and The Wazirin Adamawa! It is normal way of greeting elderly people and traditional title holders. It doesn't mean low self esteem neither does it suggest that he's weak!

So, those making a fuss about this should direct their efforts towards getting the current APC government to reduce the suffering in the land. They should stop chasing shadows while Nigerians suffer from economic hardship!

Just stop confusing yourself and let an Igbo person come and say this to my face.
I’m not mincing words, they (igbos) are loud about the fact that they do not bow to no one. You are an Edo person, so wetin concern you? Let an ibo person come and prove me wrong. They BOW (not prostrate) only to their Chi or perhaps, Nnamdi Kanu and every Igbo man is king grin grin Those are the things they’ve been saying to us over the years but one edo busybody now wants to change the narrative

I am apolitical.

I just see Peter Obi being humble. I doff my hat.

God hates pride.
Re: Reactions Trail Photo Of Peter Obi Greeting Atiku Abubakar On Bent Knees by Bahamas95(m): 9:38am On Jan 11
If Yoruba person kneel/prostrate to greet dem go say Yorubas dey respectful, when Igbo person do am dem go say na weakness.



In politics Atiku is his senior, in age Atiku is also older than him.........What exactly is your problem?

See your Jagaban bowing heads down to greet his slave master.

Obi bowing to greet Atiku who is almost 80 years of age should not be come a topic. Except for people who do not have Elders in their family.

I laugh at must of you.... if I say I am from edo. Do u think you are more yoruba than me? You sound more like the some of igbo people you talking about. Cos some say something dies not mean all of them are the same just like u sounding... some yoruba won't agree with u. I be partly yoruba partly edo and I don't do tribal sentiment.
Re: Reactions Trail Photo Of Peter Obi Greeting Atiku Abubakar On Bent Knees by djukum1: 9:57am On Jan 11
I respect your level of humility @PO. All I expected Atiku to do is to respectfully step aside and allow PO to champion ADC flag bearer.
If you want to win the heart of a Jukun man, respect him. He can give anything just for your respect and loyalty.
Atiku, please be like a Jukun ma
Re: Reactions Trail Photo Of Peter Obi Greeting Atiku Abubakar On Bent Knees by regenerateman(m): 9:58am On Jan 11
People bring issues out of nothing. We are Africans and we respect our elders. AA is senior to PO by age and at the same time a former VP. There4, it is not bad for PO to bend down or genuflect in greeting him as a former VP as well as his senior.

How can Nigerians who are known as the most respectable people be worried the someone is greeting his elder on bended knees

It's just part of us now 😏

DoctorAyukebot:
I suppose he use to one knee down while greeting the headmaster
He was the Governor, and as the number one man in the State then, he can't bow to greet him.
Re: Reactions Trail Photo Of Peter Obi Greeting Atiku Abubakar On Bent Knees by hotseat: 10:19am On Jan 11
Criticism must be constructive and not meant to pander to emotional sensationalism.

Age-wise, Atiku is a "Papa lolo" to PO!

In terms of political status, Atiku was once a Vice President while PO was just a State Governor.

Courtesy is a mark of urbaneness and not servitude or cowardice.

What were the critics of PO expecting?

That Atiku should genuflect before PO?

Only a person with a poor upbringing would criticize PO for this.

Politics has its limits!
