The act of kneeling or bowing down to greet the Head of State of a country and worthy elders does not strip you of your dignity. It only shows that you are a cultured person – Reno Omokri knocks Nigerians attacking Super Falcons for kneeling to greet President Tinubu

Reno Omokri has slammed Nigerians criticizing the Super Falcons for kneeling to greet President Bola Tinubu and First Lady Remi Tinubu during their visit to Aso Rock on July 28, following the team’s historic 10th WAFCON title win.

While some viewed the gesture as respectful, others called it undignified. Responding, Omokri shared a photo of former UK Prime Minister Theresa May curtsying to Prince William, noting that respect for leaders or elders through gestures like kneeling does not diminish dignity but reflects cultural values.

‘’This is a photo of the then British Prime Minister, Theresa May, kneeling to greet Prince William on Thursday, August 9, 2018, when the Prince of Wales was still third in line to the throne. With the death of Queen Elizabeth II, He is now second in line. By age she is twenty five years older than Prince William.

The act of kneeling or bowing down to greet the Head of State of a country and worthy elders does not strip you of your dignity. It only shows that you are a cultured person.

Chief Olusegun Obasanjo is the longest-serving Nigerian leader, yet he prostrates flat to greet the Ooni of Ife and the Olu of Warri. Biodun Oyebanji is the Governor of Ekiti. Nevertheless, he prostrated flat on his stomach to greet Chief Afe Babalola. Wizkid did the same for King Sunny Ade.

Are you better than them? No wonder you are where you are!

Do not let them gaslight you. The Super Falcons acted in a most dignified manner by kneeling to greet President Bola Tinubu. Only uncultured and uncouth people consider such a civilised and virtuous action as undignified.”
