We hear this all the time. Who developed the business culture?

Have you ever heard about Japanese or Chinese business culture practiced and taught to English and American business men?

It is not about upbringing soyinka was wrong.
Thumbs up to the boy he did the right thing. You don't claim what is not yours the guy paid for the flight and has as much rights as mr soyinka to seat in his rightful place.
People should stop disrespecting people in the name of being an elder respect is earned not demanded neither is it a right.

asuustrike1:

It is good to respect elders no doubt but elders should use their brain in public. If Prof had pleaded with the young man to allow him have the seat, I don't think this would have generated to this level. Even in motor parks I see many old men and women begging for front seat it doesn't make them stupid rather it is the right thing to do.Do you know that my uncle still washes his plate after eating? Even when I insist I do that he bluntly refuse. Now tell me if I would let him leave the chair after eating knowing fully well what he will do. Respect is earned

Why should Soyinka disobey the flight rules?

BluntBoy:


You misunderstood me, my Queen.

I have not passed judgment on who is right or wrong in this case. I only reacted to the post that accused people of asslicking.

I don't see how it is asslicking. I remembered my time in Lagos. How I used to stand up to let an elderly person have my seat. In Lagos of those days, you will see elderly people standing and holding on to overhead rails while young people sit with headphones to their ears. I always gave my seat out to these people. Is that asslicking? I do the same for handicapped people and pregnant women. Would that pass as asslicking?

With the way things are going, it would soon be asslicking to do things that we once held dearly as Africans.

Muttee:
Naa waa oooo..

No respect for elder.

Nbote:
All of these bunch of hypocrites doing eye service asslicking becos he's a public figure. I'm sure U all politely allow an elderly person to take ur spot in a bank queue becos U are Africans and respect elders

Why should Soyinka disobey the flight rules?

Jayslicky:
The man didn't disrespect Soyinka he was only fighting for his right, the seat was assigned to him and it's normal for soyinka to seat elsewhere, if it was me I would have let Soyinka have the seat but not everyone is the same, he had a choice and he chose what's best for himself.

Ladyhippolyta88:
I don't buy the african values and whatever.
Sorry for misunderstanding you.

hisexcellency34:
Flights seats are number. Prof. Soyinka should have requested for a seat by the window when booking the flight. The young man just insisted on his fundamental rights but i think he should have reasoned with those who pleaded with him and let the old man be.

The guy must be a true blooded Igbo guy. We are not asslickers. We know our rights and stand by it

vikithor:
if no be cos of God ehn,wetin I for do that wole wole ehn,
was he aware of His Own seat?
does he want a seat swap?
did he negotiate it with the rightful assigned person?

make Una answer before I blow hot.

GrabHisBalls:
The comments on front page and second page says a lot about the value system of those resident on this forum. So, let's turn the tables. If you pay for a seat and it's your right to be on the seat allocated to you, then your dad switched seats with you, would you ask him to leave simply 'cause you paid for it? And they're here talking about 'rights'. Disrespectful generation!

Juliusmalema:


I won't try it.

Soyinka must go back to his seat.
