Many people have asked about cultures, customs, things to do, things not to do, etc. I have (finally) tried to compile a list of them. If you have additions, please email them. Thanks.
- If you are speaking the language, some of the languages have different ways of addressing those older than you, from those younger than you. For instance, in the Yoruba language, you can find the different greetings here
- You do not hand things over to people, especially adults and elders older than you, with your left hand. It's considered an insult.
- You don't cross or jump over someone's legs if they are sitting with the legs extended out. It's considered bad luck.
- Avoid shaking hands with elders and older people in the villages. It's disrespectful to do that. Can you bow down a little? Kneeling for women or prostrating by men is the norm. You may not need to do either, but just show some form of respect when greeting older people. You can get away with not doing that in big cities or urban areas, they are more 'civilized' there.
- When entering a house designated as ''Mekules'' in the North, meaning there are muslim women whose faces visiting men cannot see, you have to let them know in advance that you are visiting so that they can keep the women locked away in other parts of the house until your visit is over. Men are not supposed to see them because it is believed they would become ''corrupt'' by looking at other men and vice versa. Knock the door and wait to be answered before going in. They will ask you to wait while the women are informed. Do not be offended by the wait.
