President Goodluck Jonathan
In this times of Ebola crisis, handshakes are not encouraged as the virus can be contracted through the art of greeting.
In the meeting President Jonathan convened
with Nigerian governors on Wednesday, August 13, 2014 at the
Presidential Villa, Abuja, the governors demonstrate the greeting tht
should now replace the handshake.
Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra state,
Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom and Theodore Orji of Abia state greeting
each other with the knuckles.
The Ebola epidemic has been declared a global
emergency, we cannot be too careful in preventing the spread of this
deadly virus. Letting off a handshake, at least for now cannot be too
much.
The handshake has been listed as a source of
contracting the deadly virus, basically because of the direct body
contact. The fist bump still provides that direct personal contact.
Technically, there is not much difference between the handshake and the
fist bump.
It is safer to avoid both.
