March 30, 2016 – Pictures: Nigerian VP Yemi Osinbajo’s Wife, Dolapo Kneels Down To Greet Buhari & Tinubu
The wife of Nigerian Vice President Yemi Osinbajo showed the public yesterday that she is a well cultured Yoruba woman.
See how Dolapo Osinbajo greeted APC Leaer Bola tinubu and President Buhari at Tinubu Coloquium in Abuja on Tuesday.
Her husband is probably not pleased… the look on his face in the above picture speaks volume
While many appreciate her show of respect, most Nigerians believe culture should be separated from politics.
Do you agree?

@Daison, been arrogant won’t take you far in life but with humility and respect the sky will be your limit.
Forget the title and humble yourself and see how far God will exalt you.

The wife of the vice president-Mrs Dolapo Osinbajo is a devoted christian, highly cultured Yoruba woman, great wife, and a wonderful mother to her children. She is the type that will never allow pride of position of authority to change her personality. Vice President Osinbajo was a brilliant law professor at University of Lagos and a full time pastor when Gov. Bola Tinubu picked and choice him as his commissioner of justice for the “Center of Excellence” over 18 years ago, since then their lives have never been the same. She is an humble servant of the Most High God who must give honor to those honor is due. Kneeling before those that are over one’s husband is one of the qualities of a good Yoruba woman. PMB is her husband boss who choice him as his running mate, while JAGABAN was her husband former boss and his political god father. Kneeling before those two men shouldn’t be considered excessive or too far for an highly educated woman like her. I believe that Vice president Osinbajo has found a great thing and undeserved favor ftom God for marrying this wonderful woman. Keep it up Madam, and may God continue to bless all those with an humble hearts. I’m proud of you Madam.

Have you guys seen her knee before pastor Adeboye of Redeemed? Then you will be amazed. She is just an humble woman that every good woman should emulate. An highly educated, economically comfortable and with political power woman like her kind is hard to find nowadays that pride and unnecessary showoff is the order of the day. Some now think respecting great men and true men of God by Kneeling down is a thing of shame. I’m afraid of what is coming upon the world in the next generation. May God help and deliver us all from the spirit of pride and hatred.

@John Emaka, Pls grow up. There’s nothing wrong with her action. The PM of Great Britain also knell or bow before the Queen of England. Yet he/she still remain the PM nothing changes.

Osibanjo should not frown at his wife. It is their culture, which he had accepted as a Yoruba man he is.
Culture should not to be separated from politics. The two should rather complement each other. Culture keeps the govt from passing bills or making policies that are against the spiritual stability of a people, e.g., the gay right stuff that has hitherto not been adopted by the National Assembly.
On the otherhand, politics takes the good cultures of a people and frontline them before the international community, resulting in tourism boost, which translates to more revenues for the govt.

Dolapo Osinbajo did the right thing. She was rapturously showcasing the foundation of our fore-fathers established culture. She is very humbled, well trained and extremely cultured. No one can take that natural tendency from her. In as much as Mr. Vice President may not be comfortable with her humbleness , i knew that he was proud of his wife’s action. May the Creator continue to bless her in great health. What a wonderful wife, mother and humanitarian.

So what if she is the Vice President’s wife? Is that a channel to not respect elders? Pride comes before a fall. Whoever humbles himself shall be exalted and whoever exalts himself shall be humbled. It is not our culture in Yoruba land to shake hands with elders. She did the right thing. President or shoemaker, we are all equal before God our Creator.

Frankly, I don’t see anything wrong in her kneeling down to greet her elders. It’s always been an African culture most especially with the Yoruba clans in Nigeria to kneel and prostrate when greeting elders.
Too much westernise civility is our problem here in Nigeria. We tend to copy the west forgetting where we come from. Ride on your excellency Dolapo this shows you came from a good home.
@those with negative comments here…. There’s an African adage that says pride goes before a fall. so be wise and humbly yourselves.
I see nothing wrong in her action. God bless her.
