VIDEO: Nigerians react as Tinubu bows to Chinese president Xi Jinping


A video of President Tinubu’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping has sparked widespread criticism on social media, with many Nigerians expressing outrage over the president’s decision to bow during the greeting.
In the video, President Tinubu can be seen exchanging pleasantries and shaking hands with President Xi Jinping, but it was his bow that has drawn the ire of netizens. Many have taken to social media to express their disapproval, with some calling it an act of disrespect to the Nigerian people.
“Mr. President should stop this idea of bowing to every Ade, Ada, and Adamu he meets. You’re representing a country of over 200 million people,” one user wrote.

The backlash has raised questions about cultural diplomacy and the protocol surrounding international greetings. While some have defended the president’s actions as a sign of respect, others argue that it undermines Nigeria’s sovereignty.
As the debate rages on, it remains to be seen how the president’s team will respond to the criticism. But it’s certain that Nigerians are watching, and they will not hesitate to speak out when they feel their leader’s actions do not align with their values.
