Answer:

Greeting style of the men in Umunofia.

  • The men of the Umuofia greet each other by turning into four directions saying the greet phrases.
  • It has become a custom that the Umuofia will respect all four directions as their resources and wealth arrives from all four directions.
  • Also they believe that they were surrounded by their ancestors hence by greeting all four directions, they will also respect their ancestors.
  • So either be it an individual addressing or a group addressing, the Umuofia people greet by turning over all 4 directions.
