Tinibu, Saraki And Dogara Seated On A Chair And Speaker ADHA Seats On A Mat by msageer(op):
Tinubu, Dogara and Saraki seated on a chair while speaker of the Adamawa State House of Assembly Hon. Kabiru Mijinyawa is helplessly seating on a mat at Atiku's Dauthers wedding . This is not humility but an insult to the exalted office he occupies!

Maybe not, Because Adamawa State Governor, Bindo, once happened to do such in Atiku Residence....

I believe its the way his religion permit. There is nothing wrong with it. The muslims don't really take some things important like we christians.
As wealthy as Abacha was he still went to the grave naked on a mat.
Am currently serving in gombe state and you need to see the view centre where i watch football. An old man will prefer to seat on a mat and watch than seat on a chair.
If he is comfortable with it, then let it rest and dont make a fuzz out of nothing cus from the pix, the man is not begging for alms

When you don't understand someone else's culture, you're bound to make fooooolish interpretations

Its normal Northern (Hausa/Fulani/Kanuri etc) traditional way of showing respect to elders/superiors.

Find attached below three pictures depicting this practice.

1. The governor of Adamawa sitting on the floor before Atiku - who is his father in-law.
2. Atiku sitting on the floor before the Emir of Kano - who is his traditional superior.
3. The Emir of Kano (in all his glory) prostrating before his own mother - for obvious reasons.

Northerners value humility and therefore never too proud or ashamed to show respect to others.

Humility is one thing I love hausa people for and I learned it during my short stay with them. Another thing is love, THOUGH IT'S MAINLY AMONG THEMSELVES.undecided

Tinubu is looking at the chap like: "Ode ni eh! Alaroro!! Omo awusa jati jati fvck up person of no consequence. "

Tinubu actually said these words in his mind. Believe me


On a serious note, those of you that don't know, the Hausa/Fulani worship power and wealth. If you are not wealthy or powerful, you will not be respected by them. If you are; they will worship you.

No one should tell me that they have respect for the aged cos I know that poor old people are treated like dogs in the north. Cows and rams are more respected than them.

Oboy, you dull too much; if the picture of the Emir prostrating before his aged mother didn't tell you anything; then I am afraid no hope for you ever getting any sense even if e jam you for road.

Sharrrap clown! Is the emir's mother a poor woman? She is the wife of the son of a former Emir of Kano and an established man. She is rich. My post said "poor old people.."

Gerrit?

^^^^May God help you with a little bit more comprehension and the humility to accept your shortcomings.

Pls kindly analyse your words; they are in two parts: The first is the overall statement and the second is merely a justification for the first part of the statement.

(Part 1) No one should tell me that they have respect for the aged (Part 2) cos I know that poor old people are treated like dogs in the north. Cows and rams are more respected than them.

Afterwards, pls go back to school and take additional lessons in Comprehension and subsequently be more mindful about what you say in the future.

BTW, I suspect that is how you probably treat your own elders, like dogs; as already mentioned respect for elders/superiors is entrenched in northern tradition - and we are not ashamed to show it.
