      GBAM!...atimes i wonder how Ms. Ikeji makes it all a big deal but then as a blogger u have to hype things up thru ur lenses. The king was first a son b4 king...kingship is a title that can be stripped off anytime. A MOTHER IS A MOTHER...So its expected if you know the child of whom you are!

      Pls can y'all seat. Many cultures don't caare. Mother or not, you at least bow to the king. Unless out of respect the king asks you not to. This is a massive deal. It shows the queen ship and glory attached to motherhood. Can't y'all see how proud she is.

      Ur culture can not necessarily be the best simply cos u kneel or go flat before an elder- but u can say it is a good sign in our own culture or (tradition for a group).
      The way of life of a people is culture to them.
      What u see the white man do is his culture to them.
      There is no best culture.
      What u have been trained to recognize as 'good manners' in our culture may not be so recognized & vice versa- i think if we can respect that, that is universal respect!
      Killing of twins was a tradition or perhaps part of our culture- we THOUGHT & taught it was good..
      Culture evolves!

    2. Unknown10 August 2015 at 01:57

      Kill of twins was never a culture rather a tradition towards religion. Then we all know that they were traditional worshipers then not Christians xo. That comparison is out of it. Is Gay and lesbianism a culture?

      Truth!!! They have absolutely zero respect for their elders. The only thing d igbo man respects is wealth - then they kiss ur ass so they get close to u. After they get close they start plotting ur downfall or how to takeover ur business or steal ur partners. Never do business wt an igbo man.

    it's different in the Yoruba culture, once you're declared Oba, even your mother bows to you. Though usually the son would always show respect to her.
