This has been a trending topic on quora for some years now, and I have tried to see it from different angles both from the side of the seat stealer and the owner being displaced. Now for some reason a person might want to change seats and be comfortable but no one owes it to you to give up their seat for you,even the original owner of the seat deserves to be comfortable too dont you think? Those reacting are too sentimental, if you want a seat then pay for it,if you have a medical condition that would warrant you changing your seat ,relay it to the hostess and see if they can help you out ,sometimes they even end up upgrading someone just to make you comfortable. A person with true character would have waited for the plane to be full and approach the owner of the seat or approach the hostess but stealing a seat in the owner's absence because you feel your white hair will bully the person into giving up their seat for you is nothing but entitlement. 2 Likes |

When the Government of a nation wakes up and cancels "HISTORY" as a subject in the schools' curricula, all these are bound to happen and very soon such a "Nation" will become HISTORY. And to the young lad that thinks life is all about muscle and tattoo, continue. |

These ones will be acting like mini gods in Nigeria. Once they go abroad, they will follow everyone and pick up their plates and clean their eating areas in McDonald. If e pain WS, he should buy all the seats on the plane. Mtscheew. I really can't stand this entitlement mentality, whether you're old or "powerful". I can be stubborn and i would have done same. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Boboye4slim: Don't blame the blogger. Blame Lord lugard for joining me and you in this rubbish called a country. That an old man don't know what is right or wrong or as a professor he can't count numbers again. Imagine step by step you defending soyinka ,guess because he is a Yoruba man and at the end blaming bloggers....naaa blame Lord lugard for what he created and call it a country. Very pathetic and appalling analysis.....no wonder nothing works because every action as far as it concerns your people is right. |

Mr Cole said this is an indication that our value system has been eroded and youths no longer have repect for elders. Ms Mo Abudu and Kate Henshaw commented, agreeing with him that the young man's behaviour was unacceptable.What kind of stupid talk is this? We pay for the same air ticket, does that give you the audacity to use cheap blackmail ,Would you try this in other countries? 6 Likes |

Frequent flyers would be familiar with the fact that aircrafts are not always filled, some passengers take advantage of this to find a more convenient seat than what is given until somebody lay claim to it .... What should follow is to promptly vacate it for the right ful owner, which from the narration of the eye witness is what Soyinka did. ..... Respect for elders is not mere sacrifice of ones rights/privileges, but reconition that the aged are vulnerable .... The elderly man in a bid to continue his reading may require more light than average ... 1 Like |

Contrary to the report, I think Wole Soyinka should know better as he has been on the fore front fighting inequality and injustice. He was sitting on someone’s else seat which he shouldn’t have in the first place. If I was Soyinka I won’t take it dear to heart and even start up a conversation with the young chap because it’s wrong to sit on someone’s else seat. Now this young chap would face unnecessary backlash if only Soyinka had done the right thing. I think it’s quite unfair to the boy who maybe under emotional trauma for doing what is consider civil. People should learn to respect themselves please - elderly or not; famous or not; rich or not. 1 Like |

hisexcellency34: Where is the asslicking here? Until the white man brought his colonialism, elders were accorded huge respect in Nigeria, even in your Igboland. There are many proverbs to that effect. There is no asslicking here. Any Nigerian that is well brought up would have been shocked even if the elderly person was a nobody. There is no asslicking here. I would have gladly forfeited my seat for any elderly person whether they are Soyinka or not. It is just my upbringing. |

There's what's known as universal morals. This has nothing to do with culture, ethics traditions etc... it's just a norm among humans. Even in the U.S, there's what's called 'Senior's Privilege'... old pple are referred to as Seniors. You let them have their way as in how many more years do rhey have to live anyway... that's the way the society views it. But of course we have those good for nothing chest beaters claiming some nonsense rights over nothing. Cowards till thy Kingdom come! |
