Why Do Yorubas Show Strangers Wrong Way When They Ask For Direction by Balkan(m): 10:13am On Sep 16, 2015
Please would like know why Yorubas derive pleasure in misdirecting strangers? A friend of my was coming to my house on Sunday and was very close to my street, he now asked one Yoruba elderly woman for direction only for the woman to send him miles back that he has long passed the street. Meanwhile the guy was almost on ther street, which the old woman knows.

Are there no honest Yoruba people again? This is bad before God and man. I had once been a victim. I don't know who to trust.

Is there any reason for this kind of character?

An incident should not lead to generalization! Every tribe has its good and bad people.

Am sure your frend is Igbo...right?

Yoruba people are very much particular about respect and greetings...things Igbo people don't value.

It is ingrained in our culture and a typical Yoruba person especially if not learned takes an offense if proper greeting is not observed.

Your friend most probably inquired rudely from the old woman and she decided to teach him sense grin

You don't feel like greeting...and you need favour?
Even before you fuckkk you toast...else its rape.

If you wan go collect school fees from your papa, will you just go ahead and bark at him for it or you present your case to him in a humble and respectful manner?

Igbo people lack manners and human relation skills...that's why they usually complain of being hated anywhere they are found worldwide.

Teach him sense? Can't she just ignore him instead of giving him the wrong direction. You guys take greetings too seriously as if it'll add a penny to your account. A friendly hello or good morning is enough and you don't even have to bend when greeting

You need to accustom yourself with the culture of your host else you suffer.

Its a universal rule hence the popular saying, "when you're in germany, behave like germans."

You need deliverance and urgently too. One incidence (if at all it's true) and you arrived at that foolish conclusion. You are a waste of space.
You will be reported for appropriate sanction.

Okay you have to greet (good morning/ afternoon/ evening) before asking for a favour but the old lady took it too far. I've met quite a lot of Igbo people and they relate well with people even better than some Yoruba people I've met. You don't have to generalize it.
