RUDE ELDERS!!!

Any one who displays  Ill-mannered; discourteous behavior is said to be rudely behaved or disrespectful. In Africa the manner in which you conduct your self before the elders is taken very seriously. In most cultures, respect for the elders is taken very seriously. If a Man or a Woman is older than you are by a second, culture demands that the person is given maximum respect by the younger.

This is fine and I totally agree that the younger person can learn a lot about life,culture,moral values by listening or following the footsteps of the elders. This is what has been preached  from time. Honor your Father and Mother so that your days may be long. I believe in this message strongly. I have gained great gains in my life by showing honor to my parents and I know its right.

Nonetheless, in recent times I have noticed that this law has been abused in society today.In Nigeria today we have a lot of elders who believe they deserve all the respect in the world yet, they carry themselves with no regard for themselves what so ever. They also believe that for as long as a person is older the person is wiser. Yes, it is expected that in the middle of grey hair wisdom should be found right ? But If you look at the Nigerian government today and see the horrible things that go one within I am sure you wouldn't expect anyone to respect such elders or believe they is any from of wisdom in the "grey hair". Who are the youth expected to learn from ?

Some elders have only age and they believe they can go around the younger ones and speak in what ever manner to the younger and expect the younger to accept what ever it is they say and  accept it. You may say yes,this seems morally correct but it only gives birth to a timid generation, a generation with no voice, no sound, no presence, nothing new. A generation that works with only what is given to them and people who have no will power or audacity to create a new day. There is power words and if a generation have been totally shut out with the " this is how it has always been done" way, what new can come out of that society ?

Look at Nigeria, a place where people have held on to barbaric traditions,cultures, and general ways that have brought them to no good. You have people with new ideas,formats, ways to create a better day but all you need to do to stop this in Africa is be an elder. Even in the time of JESUS CHRIST he noticed this problem and addressed it in " Matthew 23", in another part He whipped people with whips in the Church, He wasn't diplomatic about it. Yes we are advised to be wise in the book of proverbs but in a place where the leaders and elders are blind what do the you do ? Keep following ?

In the bible JESUS CHRIST sent a soldier named Jehu to capture all the prophets of ball " elders" the ones who wouldn't listen to GOD and do away with them. He did so an a new day was born. A person can't be and elder and be  " crazy" and expect me to follow Him. I have seen dreams and destinies totally disrupted because of ignorant and arrogant elders who have said their people wouldn't be part of a new day. They were ignorant and didn't know that what they vehemently stopped was the way forward, only to realize when its too late and then start blaming the devil.

Its time for the youth all over the world especially in Nigeria to stand up for what is right before GOD and Man and not some ridiculously dogmatic elders. Some elders are so utterly disrespectful to the youth of today and the are shocked when the youth respond. They expect a dull and brainwashed young Man or Woman and not a vibrant sane minded youth. Africa is the only continent when I have seen an adult who is 20 years old being called a child. Its a great pity what Africans and Africa has become because the youth have been shut up.

Its time for the youth to charge forth with their inner cravings and their true selves and not the hypocrites most youths in Nigeria have been turned into because they want to please these "elders". No, the new youth of this day should stand up and stand out. There is the final bell of a new day sounding clearly I am sure you would not want your kids to come into a world totally controlled by people who care more about what people have to say and not what really is. People who do not practice what they preach have taken over Nigeria and the trend is seriously degrading and we all have to arise together to change this trend.

So many Churches but most people just do things they are told to do in there. There real impact that is expected from the religious organizations are not being felt in the society at all. At every corner you have a Church building but its seems the true life starts when the Church ends. The elders these days still believe its okay to be as insulting as they can be to the youth and expect the youth to be silent. I have decided to speak up and effect change as the LORD leads me. I don't know about you but I see a new day and I do not see this happening if the youth keep bowing to their ignorance.

Yes, I said their ignorance,arrogance,insults,curses that have kept Nigeria where it is today. I say no I would no longer bow and take a hit I do not deserve. I hope you would not take if from them.Elders who do not accept they are wrong and are not humble enough to apologize to the younger ones. This disease has caused broken homes, businesses,careers and even prolonged "single" status. You may ask who are they ? I am talking about the rude elders.
