gwafaeziokwu:
Very apt reply. Gunmi is a dirty old fool.

Moferere:


As much as I am not in support of Gumi's derogatory assertions, calling someone who is near your father's age an old fool shows how you were brought up.

Your parents failed on you.

Moferere:


You can correct an elder without disrespecting him.

Ddokie:


Chairman, terrible human beings can bring out the worst in others.

How dignifying is it for a man Gumi's age to compare terrorists who have killed people in their tens of thousands for no known reason to activists who are clamoring for a better nation for their people, and have not been known to kill anyone?

Gumi deserves any level of insult he gets.



If an elder rapes someone, he should be treated differently because he is an elder?

An elder is respected not merely because of his age but because of his behaviour.

When an elder displays foolishness and stupidity, he should not complain if he is treated like foolish and stupid person.

Moferere:


You can correct an elder without disrespecting him. That's what your parents failed to teach you.

Products of poor parenting

And if the elder keeps doing the same thing or refuses to change?

I have given a response to this in my earlier reply.
There was a time Nnamdi Kanu used to say a lot of derogatory things about other tribes, it is on record that he even said that Igbo should not attend a church where a Yoruba man is the G.O. Is that enough to call him a mad man?

gwafaeziokwu:


I was brought up to be aware of my environment. To see truth and call it by its name. Members of ipob are also children born of parents, who do not deserve a death sentence passed on them for exercising their fundamental human right of self determination. Stamping the "terrorist " tag on them is a deliberate ploy to make them easy targets for the real terrorists in uniforms.

What Sheik Gumi want to achieve with this ploy is akin to premeditated murder on young children of men like him. That alone qualified him for the adjective 'old fool' because at his age he should know better. Respect for the old and wise is sacrosanct in our culture, but at the same time it is allowed for one to place a basket on his head in place of a crown and speak naked truth to a king.

We have an Igbo proverb that says that " If the gods want to destroy a people ,they will be curse with foolish elders". That is the bane of Nigeria foolishness by people who should know better.

Iamgrey5:
I am Yoruba but Gumi is a stupid man

He is going around telling the government to forgive Bandits that have killed, maimed and destroy lives and livelihoods for no just Reason, while in the same breath saying government is right for going after activist in other regions of the country for standing with their people.

How silly and hypocritical of the old man.

Moferere:


I still maintain my position, some people need enlightenment, not castigation.
Are Niger Delta Militants Criminals? Are Igbos criminals? Are OPC criminals? These groups have clear cut ideologies they are pursuing. What is the ideology of fulani herdsmen? None if I may say. They are pure criminals.

Gumi need to be educated, calling him all sorts of names does not make you better than him.

Educated elites should have some decorum

Iamgrey5:
Gumi is well educated, he only chose to be ignorant at will.

it's oldest trick in the book of northern Nigeria elites.

zangaozanga:
Ipob is a terrorist group boko Haram is a terrorist group Fulani herdmen is terrorist group Nigeria is a terrorist country

gidgiddy:



I used to think that Sheik Gumi was s reasonable man until he said those words, then I realised he was just another Northerner with a warped sense of reasoning. How can you compare Oduduwa and Biafran agitators with bandits and insurgents? Has he ever heard that Oduduwa or Biafran agitators went about killing people, raping women and burning down communities? How can you compare self determination and banditry? Shame on Gumi

I have never said and I don't think anyone thinks that nnamdi kanu is a saint, and all of us knows that nnamdi kanu speaks first most times before thinking and most of us calls him out all the time and dont agree with him when he generalizes sometimes but we agree with most of his message, but you cannot compare him with this person, in our side we don't normally respect just age, we respect the age produces, If a child prove to be more natured mentality than a 100 year old person, you will listen to the child and forget the 100 year old person which is why a ask you if the old person refuses to change, we respect the old first but if he is misleading us we cannot continue because he is old, check out what is happening in igbo land now for example, all the si called elders and the so self appointed elders are dancing to the tune of our enemies and we have to listen to them and perish, despite all the glaring shortcomings of kanu. Most igbos still prefer to all follow him than all the politicians and ohaneze who are far older than him, so my question still stands, what if the elder refuses to be matured? What will you do?

Moferere:



What are you doing with Kanu despite the fact that he has refused to mature?
