of course everything American is the correct thing

I'm an officer, the area I stay we have this vigilante office that I normally like to chill and spend time with the vigilantes when I didn't go to work

We are all familiar with each other, there is this lady that recently moved in, when she is ing by, she will frown face and without greeting anybody. Those type of girls with attitude, pride and ego

She came to one of our correctional centre to perfect the bail of one of her relative, it's a tedious process that could take you 3 days unless you know someone and have strong connection

As this lady see me, she was shocked. She started feigning fake smile while walking towards me.. oo boy I bone face, acted like I didn't know her and shouted at her to go the queue, she felt ashamed, almost as if she was going to cry!

Me I no send, no be me you go carry do cruise! I told the vigilantes when I went back, they were all applauded me

Proudman1:
So, as early as 4:30am in the morning I decided to go and wash my clothes.

It's in the hostel and water was scarce because there was no light.

Hence the need for me to go early to the tap side to get water.

The tap was not running so I had to fetch water from the underground reservoir.

The reservoir is more like a well. You need a rope and bucket to fetch water from inside.

But most times there is no rope and if you come early, you can stretch your hands inside with your bucket and fetch the water like that.

At this time, the water was still at the level where you can stretch and fetch.

So, while I was there all alone washing in the dark, this girl came around 5am or so.

And she just walked with her bucket and Jerry can.

In my mind I was like "who be this one wey no get manners sha"

Anyways, I just bent down my head and continue washing my clothes.

She went to the tap and saw that it was not running.

Then she came back to the well to see if there was rope. There was none.

She flashed inside and saw the water and knew I was using the water.

But she couldn't even open her mouth to ask me question or ask me to help her to fetch.

And the reason was simple, she couldn't greet and I knew she she knew that there was no way she will pretend to start greeting all over again.

A lot of people especially girls make this simple yet big mistake.

They walk into a compound without greeting anyone inside the compound. Or to a shop without acknowledging the people inside.

If you do this, you make it hard for yourself to get help later on if the need arises.

Back to the topic, she stood there for a while, probably hoping I'll come help her. But I didn't.

My mind told me to help her but I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Anyways she left without getting the water because there was no way she could stretch herself to get it.

After she left, two guys came one after the other and greeted me warmly. I answered them and even told them about the water situation before they waste their time going to check the tap.

Another girl came around and greeted. She too couldn't reach the water. I had to stretch, fetch and put it on her head.

She came back again and I did the same thing for her.

Please greetings doesn't take anything from you. LEARN to GREET people especially WHEN YOU ARE THE ONE VISITING.

We have different culture and tradition, America is not landlords

If to say u help her ehn.. ogun for strike u on behalf of all of us here on nairaland

If she summoned boldness afterwards to ask would you have helped or punished her for not greeting initially..greeting is more than ethics and courtesy it should be warm sincere and come from within..what if she is just waking up from a bad dream and coming straight to fetch water... When you meet your flat neigbour in the elevator in europe a simple smile or hi is good but its not a must...when i was a kid there is this friend to my dad when he discovered i wasnt the lip service greet greet type he took it upon himself to always be the first to say 'how are you to me wherever we met..lol..greeting no dey put money for if i see you i don see you be that if you ask for my help i will... also let me give you one last shocker ..most of the regular greeters you adore are cheats, dishonest and betrayals...imagine if God was a man if you fail to greet no oxygen and food for you...a certain part of the country will throw themselves on the floor in the name of greeting only to gossip pesn once he is 50m away.

CheedyJ:

Any small thing una go dey rush dey mention parents. What happened to unlearning and relearning besides, this was just a case of simple courtesy nothing more.

It is easier to inculcate morals by teaching kids how to behave than it is by unlearning. Nobody unlearns easily.

when has America and Europe become the standard by which we must measure our morals by?

So because white people do it, it automatically becomes the right thing to do?

Make una carry this nönsense reasoning from my thread

nothing is sensible from a man that have no moral com except for what he sees in Europe and America.

For all I care, if they start eating sh*t over there tomorrow, you'll justify it as much as you can

Rexymania:
Come and share this info to one olosho bastard that just came to our compound.

You no dey greet me, you go dey send your daughter to come borrow gas from my wife....gas wey be say na me use my money fill

She even told her children not to greet me...I only told my wife they don't greet me

Now if she comes for gas, my wife will say she doesn't have....omo three times now, my wife told them the same thing. Few day ago they started greeting, I pretended like I didn't hear.

Make we continue... silence dey sweet me die 😋

Be mindful of people who act in a way just to get things from you.

Well, she should return to the bad dream and wake up properly then.

Whatever..greeting is good but its best coming from a sincere place..if you judge/trust people based on their greeting attitude you can easily be manipulated and betrayed...please hold your unnecessary greetings we are good..

You are the one that can't use your moral com..why do you think a stranger owes you a greeting because she met you at a public tap or because you think she is a small girl..lol..what if it were an older person that met you there and thinks how can i greet this boy washing cloth...if you so much yearn for greeting be the first to drop it..simple

again, you're displaying your lack of moral com.

In Africa and Nigeria, we owe each other respect.

The younger ones owe the elderly ones respect.

If you're working and another person es, they simply owe you a "weldone" same as when you're working and they are ing they will do the same thing.

We are humans over here who respect and value each other not cold blooded animals in Europe who cares not about each other not to even acknowledge each other.

We value ties in Africa. This is our culture. But I guess a person like you don't even know what it means to have a culture.

In Africa when I see your father, I don't call him James or Peter or whatever his name is. Not because I'm afraid of him but because I respect that he is an older person.

It's called good morals.

It's the way we expect to treat each other just as Europeans expect to treat each other a certain way.

Now do you see any European saying "why don't you treat us the African way?"

Of course not.

It's only morally depraved Africans like you who expect people to behave like Europeans in Africa.

A stranger that meets you at a public space like a water facility or a shared commercial transit owes you no greeting..If you are liberal minded and yearn for greetings so much..its simple be the first to drop it regardless of age or social status by doing so you will be subtly teaching the person how to do the greeting.. Nobody stranger is coming to massage your ego with greetings..yo go wait taya..

same way I don't owe her fetching water.

But if she had greeted, she would have gotten the water.

Yes, you probably don't owe anyone anything but you will always need someone so it's probably always polite to be polite

Proudman1:

Now you are sounding more like it..she acted what she tought was suitable for her (atleast her life doesn't depend on the water) ...you not offering to help her willingly shows you are a real G that doesn't break a code...she learnt her lessons but you may never get to find out..

Zonefree:
When a Nigerian girl starts to accumulate numerous dick, that's when she begin to believe every man is her mate. To greet will be very difficult for her.

At year one, a female Nigerian student will never date her level mate.
Same thing during second year.

It's only when she's approaching final year, she'll be coming close to date her level mate. Same guys she neglected during her first year.

...
Any Lady must scrutinize who is putting what inside her bodies na ...

If not for Realities, Who would be Humbled

G0odharddick:
The average Nigeria girl is highly entitled to everything.

The foolish girl believes you are supposed to fetch the water for her as she's used to simps doing that for her even with her bad behaviour.

Once a girl start getting diicks from guys far above her age, she automatically starts disrespecting every other guy she sees

It's a Normal Human Thing 🤣
If I start rolling with Dangote, I wouldn't have time for Nairaland again cuz my OT/Horizon would have Trabaye

Jennyclay:
If she can’t greet you, why don’t you greet her

Common “good morning to her” won’t kill you either

You didn’t greet her but you’re quick to paint her as a mannerless person for not greeting you

Shior!!
Nonsense men everywhere!!

You see your life. Na your type men dey show shege

You are very intelligent when it comes to woman matter.
I when I was in school back in the days, there are some girls I'm trying to relate with, but they normally shun me and my friends.
Suddenly, during the final year I noticed these girls begin to greet me first and trying to establish friendship alas, I can consider them anymore

Some people don't know how to courtesy, not necessarily to greet per-sey, just "Hello to the people you met " can go a long way to put you in a good light to everyone around.

Have benefited from people bcus of how I treated them from the point of oblivion to the time we now familiar and get along very well.

Treat people with respect.

My mind told me to help her but I couldn't bring myself to do it.

I am proud of you. One small gordons for you.
