The duo of Mercy Chinwo’s husband, Pastor Blessed Uzochikwa, and Olubankole Wellington a.k.a. Banky W has come under public scrutiny over an unconventional, eccentric, thumb-bumping manner both employed in exchanging pleasantries at an event.
Keen enthusiasts have raised brows over the thumb-bumping form of salutation the duo opted for, instead of the conventional handshake and gentlemanly hugs that gentlemen are known for.
The thumb-bumping salutary form has been associated with different confraternities in Nigeria, and considering the personas of Pastor Blessed and Olubankole Wellington, folks are greatly concerned that there must have been some unknown paradigm shift in the moral compass of the two men.
While many have alleged that the confraternities boast of people who are seen as upright by society and will be the least mentioned as members of these confraternities, others believe that the duo must have unintentionally used the gesture with no distinctive motive behind it.
What do you think of this thumb-bumping salutary style and the individuals involved?
