The Traditional Culture Of Greeting In Nigeria by Otunbalarry: 9:03am On Dec 03, 2013
Greeting in Nigeria is an important aspect of 'our culture'.Different ethnic groups have different ways of greeting and we also greet in different languages.
For example in yorubaland,we greet by saying 'EKARO MA/SIR' bt some ethnic groups in yorubaland dont greet this way.Some of us even have different experiences in the aspect of being accused of disrespect because we refuse to postrate,or greet in other traditional ways,this has even caused life long problems for some people,this thread is created to educate us on greeting culture and a medium in which we can share experiences that relates to greeting.Also vocational jobs have different greeting ways like in yorubaland when hair is being done we greet the person that wants to make hair by saying 'EKU EWA O' how do they greet people that engage themselves in vocational jobs in your town or ethnic group?lets educate,entertain ourselves and share experiences...what do u have to share on traditional greetings mode,share it here...Let the fun and education begin

winkDaalu oru goes to a person doing any kinda work in Igbo land...it can also be used by your folks when trying to play the mischief game... wink
"JISIE IKE" can also suffice for the above.
