In his address, Okorocha declared that the day the Igbo decided to come together, [size=17pt]other groups in Nigeria would bow for them[/size], stressing that disunity had torn the zone apart.

Do people in NL have problems with English?Do you knw what a charge is?The governors were only trying to pass a message to the Igbo people and some tribalist and politically sentimental people're talking rubbish.Truely,so many NLs have issues to deal with.

Eko Ile:

Cut and dice as much as you want, bow means bow.

cantell:

Figuratively, other tribes are bowing for Igbos.
To be at the level they are now, even after the civil war, goes to show they're no ordinary people.
Take it or leave it.

Francis-1:

Bow for you = respect you
Bow down for your = worship you
I am sure Okorocha means the first ad he is right. Igbos will get the respect of others if they come together, much more than they are now. Does not mean that others are actually more united.

Simple pidgin -Bow for you = respect you. If you're not really naija vamoose from this thread

I am just wondering why "bow" just turned out to be a word to generate so much attention and anger like its being expressed by the likes of Eke ile (hope this is correct spelling) when bowing down even postrating on the floor has been a common expression of some of the tribes in Nigeria as a sign of respect . Is the issue the "bow", the "Igbo", the "Governor" or the combination of all these words? Is respect no longer what each person owes another regardless of differences in tribe, colour, religion, status, and so on? If bow which means respect as expressed in Governor Okorocha's speech is the problem, then it points to that same fact that one of the problems we face in this country is "differences disrespect' .

I strongly believe that 'bow' became an offence not because it is bad in its usage in that statement but because of who used it. Obviously if your (each person discussing this topic) governor had made the same statement, you probably wouldn't consider that 'bow' to mean an "error"  .

Now this is the mindset we all have to flush out of this country to move forward - not basing out judgement of issues on differences; be it tribe, religion, class and what have you.

We have lived like this for over five decades with nothing to show for it yet when this kind of issue comes up we quickly take sides based on our groups.

I do not think its right for someone to come to a public place like this to call another tribe losers . What did you win if I may ask ?

Let's assume you are the 'winner' as you want us to believe, for all these decades you happen to be the 'winner', how is Nigeria? What really can we boast of in this country as a result of your being a 'winner'- bad roads, no electricity, bribery and corruption, non-payment of workers' salaries, strikes and protest, no fuel-kerosene-diesel in the same rich oil producing country, terrorism and militancy, visionless-greedy-selfish government regimes, abundance of illiteracy and poverty, the list is countless ?

Yet in the looser'ship' position of your losers, they have built and developed cities like your state capitals. In their disunity they have driven poverty to a large extent far away from their homes. They made great things out of nothing  .

Imagine if they decide to come together, if you are an honest person, then you can agree with me that Governor Okorocha's speech was not out of place.

The problem is not whether what he said is right or wrong rather your interpretation of what he said which depends on the level of your sentiment. Whichever way you see it, however way you interpret it, the truth remains that if those Igbos come together you will bow(respect) for what they can do!

Let us accept our differences and acknowledge our individual strengths . Our unity is in our differences. Our strength is in our diversity and not in our tribes. Variety they say is the spice of life. Arise, oh compatriots and make this nation a better place for us all!
