₦airaland Forum

I joined a year ago, but didn't really frequent much until like September and didn't start to really participate until a couple months ago.

These people can be a danger to themselves [and others] with how they walk around unprepared for the actual ugliness of the world.

"Disrespecting and insulting elders is very unafrican and gutter behavior"

Take the time to read you topic again which i wrote above i dont see where it says only africans can answer. it obvious you don't and will never get it let your rage continue to fuel your fire. misery loves company but it aint gonna be me.

p.s i didn't catch feelings on anyones behalf i just stated the obvious

good luck

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.

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

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
