Nollywood actor Kunle Remi says his wife, Tiwi, does not kneel to greet every elderly person. In an interview with VJ Adams, Remi discusses how she handles greetings and the reasons behind her approach, presenting it as part of their understanding of marriage and tradition.
Remi indicates that Tiwi kneels only for people she considers close, rather than for all elders indiscriminately. He connects the discussion to broader themes of prayer, friendship, and lessons learned in their relationship, including how they navigate Nigerian customary expectations.
Both outlets report the same core message: Remi attributes his wife’s behavior to personal closeness rather than a rejection of respect for elders. While the articles use slightly different wording—one frames it as a “revealed” position during the interview—the underlying account remains consistent across sources: Tiwi selectively kneels when greeting elders, and Remi explains this within the context of their marriage and cultural practice.
