A moral police on X has called out Herbert Wigwe’s oldest daughter for not standing to greet the Vice President of Nigeria, Kashim Shettima.
The X user shared a photo of Tochi Wigwe sitting while accepting a handshake from Shettima during one of the events organised to mourn Herbert Wigwe, his wife Chizoba Wigwe, and their son Chizzy Wigwe who died in a helicopter crash. He then shared photos of former VP Yemi Osinbajo and businessman Aliko Dangote standing to shake hands with Shettima.
He 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 seating down.”
The post has sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some berating Tochi while others defended her.

She is grieving but lack manners… what is wrong with simply getting up and shaking the hand. You don’t even have to accord only a person older Than you that kind of regard.

Even for western world, would you seat down to shake hands with Donald Trump except you are wheelchair bound. Will you seat down and shake hands with the late Queen of England when it’s not like you are in a hospital bed. Manners are manners. Forget you are rich… manners are important
