  1. She really said you'll pass through it and it will make you strong😂😂😂😂. It's so easy to say things when you're not really in the situation.

  2. Let's be honest..yes we can't see what elders see but i don't go to my parents about advice on my personal life experiences like dating cos they ne the one's saying things like "Don't date" to a teenager? Now I'm an adult and i still don't ask them anything. I have friends to talk to and you might argue about telling friends stuff, go get yourself a Good friend.

  3. The common error here is that the definition of elder in Yoruba is not by age, but by experience. There another says owo omode o to pepe, ti agba o wo akeregbe. Omode gbon, agba gbon li a fi da Ile Ife.

  4. Great Debate!
    I am an elder myself. Following a pattern of the elderly system of behavior is a great undoing to my self-esteem.
    The younger generation are rather brought up with a high sense of worth vis-a-vis good self-esteem.
    In this debate, the younger generation clearly won.

  5. if you believe it is a right to be respected as an elder and you are ignorant, I will strip you very eloquently of that right. Play with your mammy not me. Act right and so will I.

  6. Computer-age kids – gen-z, I get you. you will get there sooner or later. the coming gen-z will call you elders and their ideas of life will be worse than yours, I would love to see a similar debate between you and the coming gen-z😂. ask google kids! they know it all.

  7. Seeing all the elders disagree so much with almost everything the oldest man says, cutting him off and all but the gen Z's disagree once (after sitting and listening carefully) and they're 'disrespectful'?…smh

  8. Respect is not a must!! It’s a personal choice. You give respect to others then you’ll earn respect back. If you meet others with respect regardless of age you’ll not have to worry about it because you’re going to receive it automatically without demanding it!!!😊(what I think from my own perspective)!

    A translation from the Bible:

    Authority Without Provocation
    You can see it is a daunting — and I would say even impossible, in one sense — responsibility to so deal with our children that they don’t become dispirited or discouraged or lifeless. This involves a work of God, not just man. The translations include “don’t exasperate your children,” “don’t provoke them to anger,” “don’t embitter them.”

  9. My own with this idea that elders can see what the youth cannot see is that a lot of ppl from that generation don't give advice – they give instructions. Advice is a suggestion. Once you give the advice I am free to do what I want with it. But if after receiving your "advice" there is only one road I can take without being lambasted and labelled disrespectful, you've just given me orders. Also, this idea of "but you ask your mum and dad for advice", I ask my parents for advice based on our relationship, not their age. There are many ppl touching my parents' age that live on the road. I would not start to dobale in the street to ask such ppl for advice and by the same token, with all due respect, I wouldn't ask any of the "elders" on this panel for advice either.

  10. I have been typing and deleting! I am neither a Gen Z or part of the somewhat-older generation but you see these Gen Z are a real definition of Zombies and i am not apologizing. They tend to always wanna defend a course without being subjected to more logical reasonings. And we they dont understand the concept and context of culture in this matter. This is a big time bomb and if care is not taken, the world will end so quicker than prophesied. What if the western world and the African world were worlds apart and never connected, would the hoody-arrogant-hoodlum still have guts to defend mediocrity? you wanna knock an elderly man? olopa ma ko everybody. But i feel the older generations should do better too. They should learn how to make a lamb a lamb and not making him feel like a lion with no assault. Respect is a right that is learnt and earned.
