Ali Baba Comes For Nigerians Who Feel Too Big To Great The African Way

By Gbolahan Adeyemi


Nigerian comedian, Ali Baba just shaded Nigerians that feel ashamed to greet in the African traditional ways all because they are too exposed to do so.

The legendary comedian shared this photo below showing Mrs. Theresa May, as she courtesies to greet the queen of England shortly after her appointment yesterday July 13th as the new UK prime minister. He wrote;

“After now some people will be saying they are too exposed and educated to greet the African way. No be a whole prime minister dey butu so? Being educated or widely travelled doesn’t mean you should jettison your culture or respect for elders or authority. Even the people in the west bow in respect or curtsy when they greet. And that is butu. So let it be known henceforth, If I catch any Nigerian butu at attention una go hear my voice… Nonsense!”
