dem no born obaseki well to shale oba of benin dat way....i deont blame this king,they have made govnors their superior

The king make a big mistake he should have wear customised dog face mask to visit the disrespectful governor since its only dog they respect in that region.

If not pride and ego how can he get greet a elderly like that talk less a king? They have no culture and feel too big, the only culture they have is to respect bingo.

I'm not surprised because I observed my mandatory NYSC scheme in that state from 2011 to 2012. They are the most corrupt set of people.

banttieman:
Na only dog dem respect for there.

Agbaya!!

Don't matter!!!

UnknownT:
Why won't he greet him like that when he has the power to appoint and sack traditional rulers

U ve spoken well, the governor has the power and authority to install and sack any paramount ruler within his domain, so y should he cringe before any ruler who is within his authority,even the very prominent Emir of Kano was appointed and installed by ex. gov. Kwankwaso despite wielding so much influence.

By the time the governor becomes an ex, it then becomes a different kettle of fish...

Meaning what? How else should he have greeted?

Mschew.

place wey I serve kwa. I'm not even from south south, but to tell you I didn't enjoy my time there, will be a great disservice to the people of that state. This is just too melodramatic. Please be more sincere next time. Akwa Ibom for one, is miles ahead of my own state for a start.

As they treat their rulers is how they are. Yoruba will always be an elite tribe.

and u people can curse as well. Eye service respect.

Title pass title. If you waka go government house go see governor, maybe collect Prado jeep and brown envelope, the man fit shake your hand with right hand, pack him blokos with the other at the same time. If na governor waka go visit ruler, then na different matter. You don see Omo n'oba n'edo n'ukuakpolokpolo leave palace go anywhere?

really. As if u are not corrupt.

May be that's the way they greet elders in their own village.

When all these kings are always runing after these govs for appointments slots and contracts allocation,i don't see how they can possibly command respect frm the govs. "He who pays the piper dictates the tune"

Do they have respect for elders in that part of the nation? I doubt

This is while I luv the yorubas and their culture.....

u sure? Always sayin rubbish to fill among

Why won't he greet him like this. When some of traditional rulers are common errand boys to the governor.

Businessideas:
Truth be told, this is completely disrespectful and says a lot about his terribly poor upbringing by his parents. If he can greet his traditional ruler so disrespectful like this, he just disgraced his father and mother for not teaching him about humility.
What!!!! Even if he doesn't respect the oldman's grey hair,what about the fact that he represents the history and ancestry of his own community.I grew up hearing songs and watching films where you are repeatedly warned never to greet a king standing upright. O ga o!!

But that's how igbo people great their elders. Whether they are 500years old or 1m years, they offer hand shake. There is nothing like respect in their dictionary especially when they have small change. So don't bother yourself.

no governor, even president can try this to 3rd, 4th,5th or even 10th class oba in yoruba land.





I trust our royal fathers.

see what one of them did to yahaya bello when he tried that trash.

Lemme clarify this as an Akwa Ibomite, the only problem here is the Governor's hand in the pocket, we don't Prostrate to people (Human) as we consider it an act of Worship

ChangeIsCostant:
Governor Emmanuel Udom of Akwa Ibom state has been blasted by some Nigerians after greeting a First class ruler in the manner. The governor was pictured in a handshake with the Paramount Ruler of his Local Government Area(Onna) while putting one of his hands in his pocket.

Some Akwa Ibomites and others have reacted angrily to what they describe as a disrespectful way of greeting a reputable figure.

GOV EMMANUEL'S 'ROYAL' HAND SHAKING: ANOTHER EMPTY RANT

I've read several opinions and comments on this picture since yesterday and I begin to wonder why we give attention to baseless issues and try to raise dust unnecessarily.

It is very worrisome that this discourse is now trending on Nairaland thereby portraying our dear state in bad light.

Many people especially those who see nothing good in the administration of Governor Udom Emmanuel have taken it upon themselves to castigate the Governor for shaking the Paramount Ruler of Ikot Abasi Local Government Area, HRM Edidem Udo Ntok Obom with one hand while the other is in his pocket.

Analyzing the picture, Governor Udom Emmanuel is seen discussing with the monarch which in no way portrays any formal greeting. From all indications, this picture does not in anyway portray His Excellency's disrespect to the traditional institution. It is common sense to deduce that the Governor had finished greeting the traditional ruler during the meeting with Ikot Abasi Stakeholders. It is also common sense to deduce that the Governor is listening to the Paramount Ruler with rapt attention, hence a clear symbolization of HE's respect to the revered monarch.

Constitutionally, the office of the Governor is greater than that of the traditional ruler in the state. If the Governor CHOOSES to kneel, bend, squat or lie flat would be out of rare courtesy and not obligatory.

Those criticizing the Governor are merely instigating hate. Such opinion as "If it was the Oba", or "If it was the Sultan" does not hold water. Welcome to Akwa Ibom State!

Moving forward, should the Governor prostrate, kneel, bend, squat or lie flat on the ground while discussing with the monarch? We all know the answer!

Governor Udom Emmanuel is not a disrespectful leader. Please let us respect our Governor and stop all this campaign of hatred! For once, let's see positivity in this government. Together we can move Akwa Ibom State forward.
