He explained to me that there is actually wisdom in youth far more than the elders can posess and this wisdom diminishes as you grow older.

Wisdom" might "diminishes as you grow older" perhaps after 70 years old, least not before 60, especially if one were a learner and continued seeking wisdom. So youth has to wait until the the elders relinquish the influence they amassed in their prime when they were young say in their 40s, and held on to till they died at, say, eighty. Won't youth be hitting 50 by then, too consolidated themselves to bother to change anything? And wouldn't the elders have consolidated in place for generations after, those who would prevent the desecration of their graves forever?

One thing the wise often do is they reflect, and the experiences they have as they grow older gives them a lot to reflect on. You, hopefully, understand the relationship of the ability to reflect and being wise. Wisdom does not diminish as one grows older. Though I do admit that the elders we have do not seem wise.

I think it's the non-acknowledgement of the saying that goes, ọmọde ati agba li a fi da ile Ifẹ. Translated it means, 'Ife was built by the young and the old'. Wise people will incorporate both into their planning since they have different skill sets, but our Nigerian elders do not appear to be doing this unless it's to the youths who's souls they've bought. Not wise at all, would be my verdict of our so called elders.

Let me follow this threads, all post full of wisdom

I was sent secrets of developed nations.

TheSourcerer:
in facts specify what you think should be done

He wants the youths to take power and not ask for power to come to them......

Thank you Xavfra. That's what I hoped the op understands so he stops praying like some theist, or rather, like he assumes I might, but he seems to be blinded by what he assumes to be my religion instead of carefully considering what I have said.

Those in power will never ever "let" youths have power in Nigeria, TheSourcerer, unless those youths have first bowed down and worshipped those in power. And those youths who have bowed down and worshipped those in power have no power whatsoever since they exist at the pleasure of those they worshipped who "let" them.

Please let me know when we realise this, for then shall we be ready to begin to start to prepare to organise and take over and rule our illustrious nation.

I understand your points ooh Budaatum......



The youths should go and take power and not to wait for it

Xavfra:

Egalitarianism



A system of Government by the old , the wise and intellectually experienced amongst the Society ,

You have your terms mixed up. A system of government by the old is called a gerontocracy. A egalitarian government would be focused on empowering everybody so it's leadership could never be reserved for any one group..

thank you , I did that back in SS2 lol, thanks again ♥️♥️, are you sure though?



Yes Gerontrocracy! yes , that was the word I was looking for

Aidejay:
One day I sparked up a conversation with a neighbor of mine. This was the first time we talked at length from career to politics to life to work. It was a memorable day for me.
One sound bite I gained from that discussion was a fact he laid on me where he opened that the parable or adage that says 'what an elder sees sitting down a youth cannot see while standing on an iroko tree' is false and wrong.
He explained to me that there is actually wisdom in youth far more than the elders can posess and this wisdom diminishes as you grow older.
So what an elder sees sitting down a youth will see it bending down. The patriarchy/elitist society we operate in Nigeria has put a limitation on the minds of the young.

Preach! I also blame the culture. People consider it rude to ask questions or to challenge certain beliefs, standards or anyone a day older than you. Most have been brought up to accept things the way they are and even those, who claim want a change often times just complain.

Most have also forgotten real power lies within the people. Everyone just loves playing 'save'

I cannot read any of your post anymore , to be honest it's for no personal reason , my empathy for you have dwindled and have 20% chance of been rejuvenated , for now do not mention me ,. Probably still disappointed , but you were an atheist , you were free why did you turn back?

You don't get to tell me who I mention, Source, and I do not need your empathy thank you. As for why you cannot read my post anymore, I'd say it's because you have not yet developed the ability to understand more than you currently do. Please, cover your eyes and make out you ignore buda. I assure you you will fail.

One does not "turn back". One does not abandon what one learns about an ideology just because one is learning about another. I did not believe in the existence of superbeings when I was an atheist, and now that I am studying religious texts I still don't believe superbeings exist. But as far as Nigerians are concerned, referencing a book makes one a worshipper or believer in that book it seems, hence capslocked would say buda is a "theist" without defining what he might mean, and you, being a believer, is disappointed and lost empathy and are not rejuvenated, but want to blame it on me, lol.

I am rereading the book in order to understand it because I love reading difficult to understand books like the texts of Nigeria's main religions. I figured, since a majority of Nigerians are influenced and get their language from those books, one who wishes to positively impact Nigeria would best read them in order to understand the motivation and language of a majority of Nigerians. Also, since the books are so old and underlie quite a lot of Western and Middle Eastern and African philosophy and thought, understanding them gives one insight into the evolution of human existence in a particular part of the world and provides a model for comparison.

My morning has been fruitful.

You know ehhh, making a protest ain't to hard, but what's important and quintessential is that the base is strong so as to prevent any destruction the base and the entire protest......

Once we have the base, we can then move on.....
Even if one of us is killed, we'll not relent till all of stop breathing even our dead bodies will continue the protest

Ask him to tell you about his sole protest. You'd see how weak its base was. Yet he shuns the intellectual cement that could strengthen it.

When we scream and shout we merely show that we are not yet intelligent and smart and wise.

One day we will have learnt to speak in such a way that we are listened to and heard.

Yea... We've tried that before

Culture and Old Traditions hmm , They seem to be tools to somewhat break the minds of the next generation , hmm and it seems cyclical and there's no sign of stopping soon , it's just us who knows will know.
