RE: Funny African Customs #4: About Greetings

Even some Yoruba people are beginning to leave all that prostration in the past and just saying their greetings with the mouth and moving on. I can imagine that Yoruba men of the past all had massive gains from all that lying down to greet and getting up with the help of their arms, imagine how many times they'd do that to greet elders in a day that would be enough to serve as push-ups:

This is hilarious......

On a serious note,prostrating for elders is part of the yoruba culture and I respect the culture though I understand your point...thanks for this post that made me smile while reading it
