Afamed: You are a liar, your child will lie x1000 as adult . If you do not lie but your child lives with liar, he will lie x100 as adult. When I see hoodlums I see failed government I see failed society I see failed families. Elders keep lying to children. Elders keep looting. Elders keep using youths to kill. Monsters they made. 1 Like |

thebosstrevor1: No, it means the Elders are responsible for turning the Youths into thieves. |
Re: Between The Youth And The Elders, Who Has Now Failed The Nation by Pecuman: 9:29pm On Oct 23, 2020 |
Afamed: And you don't understand how people work. Elders for over 60 years have taught the youths that only force and corruption is how you get power. Either the Youths learn this and become corrupt thugs and those that don't learn cannot compete in the system that rewards corruption and thugery, so are silent onlookers like you. 1 Like |

Sladem05:I am with you on that ... But for me where does it stop is the thing ... I suggest Nigeria adopt the China system but the judicial system should be replaced by AI powered robots ... And even the executioner should be a robot so there are no emotions involved ... Just logic. You are caught in corruption the robot will try you on the spot and if guilty, will just shoot an ice bullet into your medulla and before you hit the ground another robot will throw you into the AI powered meat grinder and turn you to instant food for the carnivorous animals in the zoos we have in the country. ... It's a win win for everybody |

Franzinni:Whatever the youths are doing is what the elders taught to them. If your parents are serial killers. My main bone of contention with the elders is A) they demand respect but when you look at the state of the country and the continent of Africa as a whole. They don’t deserve it. They trashed this continent in the most dreadful, egregious way. 30 years ago, China and the rest of East Asia was in a similar state to Africa.today, east Asia is a hyper advanced region in the world and Africa is a jungle. B) they claim that ‘what an elder sees sitting down is what a youth cannot see climbing on a tree’. If really that was true, then why didn’t envision and create a good, prosperous country for their youth if they’re so ‘wise’? African elders believe that they are these omniscient beings that live in a completely different world to the rest of Africans. Ultimately, the elders control all the wealth and political clout of Africa. But they clearly misuse that power. They use that power to oppress the poor/youth. They have a left a wrecked country/continent for their youth. They are 110% responsible for all of the problems in Africa from insecurity to tribalism to poverty to crime etc. They siphon the wealth of the country and put it in foreign bank account.send their kids abroad and go abroad themselves. Whenever they come back to Africa. They carry like 20+ car heavily armed convoys everywhere they go because of guilt. The so called ‘wise’ elders have done nothing more but produce this continent we call Africa or maybe I should change the name to Zoofrica. THE ELDERS DESTROYED AFRICA |

All these are stories. The so called elders have done their part, rather than the so called youths to build or do better than them, all you guys know is how to destroy. See one of the so called youths in this thread, just killed an innocent fellow youth. https://www.nairaland.com/8204976/how-adeleye-ayomide-murdered-idowu Sladem05: |

9jatriot:Whatever the youth are doing is as a result of the elders. If your parents are criminals, then you will kill Stories? Who are the ones in power? Is it not the elders? The elders are the ones in control of this continent yet they can’t push it forward. They delivered a failed continent. It’s crazy that you’re licking the feet of the same people whom impoverished this continent. The crime that the youth has commited is a tear drop compared to the youth. They stole the country’s money. Billions upon billions of stolen money is held by elders in foreign accounts. What has Jagabanu done for Nigeria? Insecurity is up,fuel scarcity is up,insecurity is up, everything bad is up. He’s now ran to go and lick Xi’s balls in China to beg for help. The youth were never given an opportunity. |

9jatriot:The elders are the ones doing the destroying. Hiding your stolen funds in swiss bank accounts. https://wikileaks.org/wiki/Hiding_Africa's_Looted_Funds:_The_Silence_of_Western_Media The elders are the ones in charge of the continent. They enact all the policies which have failed the people of Africa. Elders destroyed africa. They had all the opportunity to raise it up but yet they still failed. One of Africa’s biggest problems has always been the continent’s leaders and people in power. These wise elders cannot even create anything of value. They created wartorn, impoverished and unstable countries. |

The few things you enjoy today were built by the so called elders. You think they also had it easy. They had to grind out the few successes you enjoy, but rather than build on it, you guys have become lazy and are waiting for handouts. Nobody taught you guys to be yahoo, thieves and ritualist, no one knows where you guys got these tendencies from. You claim they put money in swiss account, how many people do you know personally that have accounts in Swiss accounts? Sladem05: |
Re: Between The Youth And The Elders, Who Has Now Failed The Nation by 9jatriot(m): 11:34am On Sep 05 |
All the pictures of kidnappers we see are only Gen-z, the oloshos are also Gen-Z, yahoo yahoo, ritualist, murderers are also Genz. Just look at the news this week. Now compare that to most elders. Some of the elders are farmers in villages trying to provide food for lazy ass like you. Sladem05: |
Re: Between The Youth And The Elders, Who Has Now Failed The Nation by Sladem05: 12:41pm On Sep 05 |
9jatriot: All those crimes the youths are committing are because of the elders. The elders didn’t provide them with opportunities for social mobility. You can’t be surprised if they enter crime, ritualism (that elders do more of) The people plundering the country’s wealth? Elders The corrupt/ inept leaders? The elders The people oppressing the poor/youth the elders and the elders feeding people? Nigeria has the 2nd largest population of people in poverty after India. The elders have done a terrible job of feeding the masses. The elders are greedy and selfish. They have all the control’s wealth and power whilst the masses and youth suffer in agonising poverty. |
Re: Between The Youth And The Elders, Who Has Now Failed The Nation by Sladem05: 12:49pm On Sep 05 |
9jatriot: Bruh, Switzerland is steal retuning Abacha’s loot. African politicians (elders) plunder the wealth of the country and hide it in foreign bank accounts. The elders hold billions and billions of dollars in foreign accounts. https://wikileaks.org/wiki/Hiding_Africa's_Looted_Funds:_The_Silence_of_Western_Media The few successes? Your delusional. Nothing works in Nigeria and generally Africa. Yes the elders influenced African youth to behave the way they do. When you have terrible guard , you can’t be surprised if a terrible result is the outcome. African elders are the most delusional set of people on this planet. They like to brag to foreigners that their kids were ‘well raised’ but statistics indicate that violence particularly youth violence of Africa is unrivalled. Bad upbringing is why people enter those things you listed like prostitution, crime etc. the elders (government) can’t even provide basic amenities for the masses or protect them. African elders are a JOKE! |
Re: Between The Youth And The Elders, Who Has Now Failed The Nation by Sladem05: 12:55pm On Sep 05 |
9jatriot: The elders are behind all the political, economic etc decisions in the country. Yet look as to how badly things have gone. See as to how badly African elders like Buhari and Tinubu have destroyed the country. |
Re: Between The Youth And The Elders, Who Has Now Failed The Nation by Sladem05: 3:04pm On Sep 05 |
9jatriot: Nigeria is an oligarchy. A country whereby a few elites (elders) control the country and the masses are in agonising poverty. |
Re: Between The Youth And The Elders, Who Has Now Failed The Nation by Sladem05: 2:59pm On Sep 10 |
9jatriot: Those problems are there because of the elders inability to A) raise their kids properly and B) provide enough opportunities for them. The elders have failed the country. Bruh they are still recovering Abacha’s looted funds from Switzerland. African elders amuse me the most because ultimately they control all the wealth and power in the country. Almost all of the politicians, judges, lawyers etc and generally the elite that you find in Africa are old people. The elders are behind all the decision making and the political, economic etc decisions of the country. They claim to be so wise but this ‘wisdom’ of theirs is never really applied into African politics, why? Why can’t they envision a country that is better for their people if truly what an elder sees is what a youth cannot see even when climbing to the top of a tree. What a joke. Look at what the elders did to the continent. The money that African politicians use to fund their extravagant lifestyle could have been invested for the betterment of the people. All these convoys that you see of of all these elders aswell as pretty much any of their luxuries. It’s not their own. It belongs to the people. They have stolen. You’re defending criminals who loot all of the wealth of the country and take it abroad. Your crazy. All the people that have stolen the country’s wealth African Elders are doing far worse than the youth. They are behind all of the country’s problems. Look at what Jagabanu and Buhari have done to the country. |

I wish you well. By the grace of God, you too will grow old one day, perhaps the next generation will also blame you and then the cycle continues. What developed countries have done is to take responsibility for their situation and ask themselves how can we build on what was done by those before us, not how to destroy what was done because we think they could have done more. The only countries that believe it is okay to destroy their countries are primarily developing nations with negative mindset. So like I already said, I wish you well. By the grace of God, you too will grow old one day, perhaps the next generation will also blame you and then the cycle continues. Sladem05: |
Re: Between The Youth And The Elders, Who Has Now Failed The Nation by Sladem05: 7:37pm On Sep 10 |
9jatriot: The difference is that in developed countries, they are far more egalitarian. Everybody is accorded the same level of respect regardless of age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender or even sexual orientation. Everyone is treated the same and the elders don’t try and act superior and wiser compared to the youth. The youth are able to put the elders in their place. One problem with African countries is the over-respecting of elders. Africans have given too much power to a generation of people. The elders have formed and oligarchy. Nigeria is an oligarchy. Every African country is like that. Elders control all the wreath and power and use that to oppress the masses. Look at what Tinubu did during END SARS. Nigeria was ruled by old men whom were dictators. Until the youth of Africa are able to put the elders in their place. Africa will never moved forward as a continent. And this has nothing to do with blame, this is merely an observation. You’re the one that’s ignoring my points. You’re ignoring that pretty much every social, political, economic etc problems that exist in this continent is as a result of the elders whether that is corruption, tribalism, insecurity, poverty etc. How is it the youth’s that their elders of leaders/politicians have mismanaged the country’s resources? The youth are not to blame for the bad roads, unstable power, insecurity, lack of vibrant industries, undeveloped infrastructure and pretty much any other problem Africa has. That is the people in charge of the country (the elders). That’s what happens when the elites and politicians (elders) use the funds rather than investing it into the economy and so for the betterment of the people. They use it to fund their extravagant lifestyles. Tinubu halved Nigeria’s GDP and has already brought on myriad of problems for the country and he’s barely done a year in office. You can be ignorant and deceitful all you want but it’s not going to change the fact that Boomers and the elders in general destroyed the country and Africa as a whole. |
Re: Between The Youth And The Elders, Who Has Now Failed The Nation by 9jatriot(m): 7:40pm On Sep 10 |
If you think African youths are respectful perhaps you will need to visit Asian countries. Start from Japan. All these and everyother thing you have written so far are all excuses and further proves the point that the elders before you did a far better job than you Sladem05: |
Re: Between The Youth And The Elders, Who Has Now Failed The Nation by Sladem05: 7:53pm On Sep 10 |
9jatriot: So Tinubu did a good job? Buhari did a good job?😂😂 Your delusional Fuel scarcity is worse than ever Naira is more devalued than ever. As of writing $1 is 1641 NGN £1 is 2151 NGN The country’s GDP has halved since the last brainless elder politician was replaced by another brainless elder politician and you’re saying they did a good job? Nothing about Nigeria or Africa suggests anything about a good job being done. The continent is a lost cause Inflation is extremely high The country is finished. If the elders did a good job, Nigerians wouldn’t have taken the streets not quite a month ago. And you’re saying what I am making is an excuse? The difference between Japanese and generally people in other developed countries is that they don’t mindlessly obey their elders like Africans do. Nobody overdoes that whole ‘respect your elders’ more than Africans. In that part of the world, everyone is equal and the elders are fully accountable for their actions. But I can’t say the same for Africa. This whole idea of ‘respecting elders’ and ‘not questioning them’ what has it done for Africa? You really need to brush up on African politics because your clueless. |
