While some Nigerians saw the act of kneeling to greet the President as a sign of respect, others felt it was too much and undignifying.
Reno Omokri has slammed Nigerians who condemned the Super Falcons for kneeling to greet President Bola Tinubu and First Lady Remi Tinubu during their visit to Aso Rock on Monday, July 28.
Recall that the President and the first lady had received Nigeria’s senior women’s national team, the Super Falcons,in the State House Abuja following their historic 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title win.
While receiving them, the football female stars went on their knees to greet the President and the first lady.
While some Nigerians saw the act of kneeling to greet the President as a sign of respect, others felt it was too much and undignifying.
Replying the critics, Omokri shared a photo of the then British Prime Minister, Theresa May, kneeling to greet Prince William when the Prince of Wales was still third in line to the throne. Reno stated that by age, Theresa May is twenty five years older than Prince William but had to courtesy to him.
He argued that the act of kneeling or bowing 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.

‘’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.''
