Calm down.

You reacted exactly like I thought you would. That's one of the key motivations obnoxious youths like myself have for mocking elders like you. It's just kind of fun.


On a serious note, I've never ever seen an African in America insult older people that they know, so maybe Nigerians in Nigeria are doing it out of contempt for the bad leaders in the country - all of whom are their elders. Wole Soyinka called his generation a failed or wasted generation. When you start to view them in that light, why not insult them?

PhysicsMHD:


Oh wow!. . . big man, huh? Stifle yourself . What you're trying to present as some major achievement is freaking commonplace. I didn't ask  what so-called businesses  you run. At the end of the day, your thinking is neanderthal like. There's absolutely no difference between what you said  and what I might hear from the average  racial supremacist concerning the “difference between (insert ethnicity/race here) people  and other human beings."


And yet you don't know Bayelsa has always been a rural undeveloped area from the very beginning of this country to now? The difference  between Bayelsa and the rest of southern Nigeria is that it's an almost entirely rural area and other places aren't and have been developing since colonial times.



Who asked what people you belong to or what they're doing? Who asked what the Yoruba are doing now? Im-becile.
Guy, look at the number of ND people heading or owning banks and rethink your statement. Delta has one of the highest GDP per capita in the state, Rivers too.

Students? Lol, what a clown. .
What postulations? I've said it before and I'll say it again, your whole argument is asinine. Your own people, and mine, have not failed to produce  thieves and looters with supporters and money-grubbing sycophants. Look at what Orji just did in Abia! 457 assistants! Is that an ND thing?

Arguing for the sake of arguing?  What would  you call what you are engaging in right now? You came in to this thread to argue like a fool merely for the sake of arguing even when what you wanted to argue about had little to do with the thread pictures. Now after being told what you really are, you're still rambling on about nothing just for the sake of rambling. Shut up and go sit in the corner.
Few of my posts are from arguments. If you actually  did look through my posts. But I'm not surprised  to see you just making stuff up. You have so many “businesses”  to attend to after all.

What's wrong with this woman?

Geez, some Nigerians marry white people and they start talking trash about their own, not even realizing they're dissing their ancestors and all their relatives. I've seen men do it, women do it, it's pathetic. This same woman who can't even spell ("chuvinist", "compatability", "aile", "marraige", "hypocrates" is here talking down to people from some other country that she didn't even get to by virtue of her own effort but through the efforts of her Nigerian father and mother.

You've got some serious issues lady, I mean "black, lazy, sweaty" "monkey behind"? You're indirectly dissing your black self as well. All because the man asked a simple question concerning a loss of intimacy in his marriage. Calm down and grow up.

why do so many people feel its ok to just start raining curses and insults on others simply because they're not as old as them?

is this a form of madness, or do we blame the visa officer who gave them a visa.


africans who were actually born overseas do not act this way in general, so it's very puzzling when the ones who came from the motherland, display this trait.

and they teach others to do the same.

@zim drill

remove your area from the list if respect for elders is not taught where you come from.

tpiah*:

once again, i'm referring to the practice of insulting someone for no other reason than because they're older than you.

[size=29pt]say, for example, you're 25, and you meet someone who's 30.

next thing we hear is a barrage of insults and ill mannered abuse by the 25 year old, directed at the 30 year old.

"oloshi", "agbaya", "old hag", "menopause", "you don old"[/size]

very sickening behaviour worthy of a gutter rat.


I AM NOT REFERRING TO ANY LEADER HERE BUT THE BAD MENTALITY AND WRONG ASSUMPTION THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK YOUR GOODS ARE SOUGHT AFTER IN THE STRIPPER MARKET, YOU SHOULD JUST START RUNNING MOUTH GBOA LIKE RABBIT.


respect for elders is a cornerstone of african values, and it seems much of this is being lost in transit to the diaspora.

MODERATORS Y'ALL BETTER RELEASE ME, I DONT LIKE WHAT IM DOING!!!

Elderly in my opinion is like 60 years old. A 25 year old and a 30 year old in your example probably best explains why young people are just so over this you must respect me deal because I was born first. Respect is earned abeg. I still think we should raise our children to always respect their elders but I wish someone would also educate elders on the dangers of being an agbaya LOL

GBAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The bible says honor thy mother and thy father also saying they must not provoke their children.
Same for strangers, love each other and respect elders but elders must not provoke if they want respect.

I grew up for the most part in Nigeria so I guess I am "qualified" (in your opinion) to speak here. Tpiah this question is for you. What is your definition of this respect. I will definitely raise my kids to speak up for themselves and I don't care if it is to a 60 year old. I get the feeling that respect to you  means always letting an older person be of the opinion that they are right simply because they were born first. We have an abundance of those kinds of people in Nigeria. Maybe that is our problem. When you have a collective bunch of people that do not earn the accolades they get then we have people who will never learn or improve. Someone rightly said what does the age of Methuselah have to do with the wisdom of solomon? We are so drunk with this mentality in Nigeria that young people are never given a chance. Things are so stagnant and the customs are culture do nt give way for fresh new ideas.
You will hear people in office (in power as we often say in Nigeria) use language like "look at this small boy" or "do you think I am your mate?" LOL. Please abeg. I don't want to get you worked up. I just want you to see that being older should not automatically make you feel that you are entitled to respect. Let us teach our kids to respect their elders but it does not mean that an agbaya is not an agbaya

^^the thread title specifically said AFRICAN.

i dont know how they do things in jamaica, but going by your attitude here, i doubt you have any idea what i'm talking about.

anyway, lets not make the thread about you, thanks.

i can open another one for you to discuss jamaican culture if you so want.

When have I ever cared about specific words in your "late night rum influenced tantrum" threads? Mukina specifically asked that we act civil and now that I am you are trying to draw me out? Before I allow myself to go that route, I'd leave you alone to your own misery. Go to a pub jare

omega25red:

this is the attitude that gets insults and disrespect. This is a forum where anyone African or not can state and opinion. you basically gave her an underhanded insult by say "i don't know how they do things in Jamaica" saying things like that antagonizes people. you started a thread and people are answering just because you had issues with someone in another area of the site doesn't mean they can't state their opinion.

it is disheartening to see how elders are disrespected but most of those elders refuse to realize that the world has and is changing. all that old school stuff doesn't fly anymore. as and "elder" you just can't talk or behave recklessly and not expect retaliation such is the world we live in now so elders will have to adjust to the current world.
