Some Nigerians have called out Tochi Wigwe, the eldest daughter of Herbert Wigwe for not standing to greet Vice President, Kashim Shettima.
The VP met with Tochi and her family members at an event organized to mourn the tragic loss of her father, the banking mogul Herbert Wigwe, her mother, and her brother in a recent helicopter crash.
A Twitter user, who identified Tochi in a photo accepting a handshake while seated, expressed disapproval of her actions.
In the post, the user wrote: “Same Man, different regard. Whoever that girl is, she lacks proper home training. You don’t shake a person old enough to be your father while sitting down.”

@Anonymous said; “We are Africans, we hold our moral values high. “Person wey dey cry still dey see road “. That is how we say it in African.”
@N said; “It is lack of ethics ,courtesy to sit while. someone is shaming you. Even in corporate world it’s wrong . Even whites you copy always stand to shake hands.”
@Emy said; “In this context, i wont hold it against her. Maybe, she is just there but her mind is somewhere else. Alot is going through her mind right now. No mother nor Father or even brother to console her. She is just there on by herself grieving inside. Maybe she might not even want to be there if not that the situation warrants it. Dont forget some people are introverts by nature. so they don really flow with the crowd.
