Reno Omokri has blasted Nigerians who criticized the Super Falcons for kneeling to greet President Tinubu and first lady, Remi Tinubu, in 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.
