A GENERATION WITHOUT MORALS

A GENERATION WITHOUT MORAL VALUES

Growing up, young ones aren't expected to look at elders in the face while talking, let alone reply. This is because it is counted as a sign of disrespect, but today teens and toddlers now possess the temerity and effrontery to dare the elders and call up their bluffs.

Unfortunately, many parents and grown up now see such audacity as product of civilization and 'confidence building' in their children. It's therefore not surprising that 'a cowboy' can dragge seat with our very revered and cerebral Professor of Literature, Prof.  Akinwande Oluwole Soyinka in the airplane.  To me, it is the heights of apocalypse moral decadence and degeneration of our society.

Perhaps, it would not have mattered if the guy was just one insane among many, but to see that some young persons and adults are justifying such abnormality is one that calls for concerned.

How did we get here? What happened to our moral codes? Where are all the values we were taught as young ones gone to? Who have bewitched this generation that they have neglected the salient things of life in pursuit of mundane?

Dear parents, by refusing to train your child in a godly and moral way, you are creating the problem for the society. No matter what you give your child and wealth you acquire for them, if they failed to learn and cultivate good morals, you are preparing them for perdition.

In years past, elders cursed such 'abiko or akogba' child, but let even say juju and voodoo is gone for good, posterity has a way of taking its pound of flesh on humanity.

It's time for us to rethink and rebuild a society  engrave on morals and sound mores if we want a society we will all be proud of.

Thank you for your time.

God bless Nigeria!
God bless Africa!!
