•
Daily Trust
Traditionally, Nigerian culture holds elders in high esteem, valuing their wisdom and leadership in maintaining family order and passing down cultural values.
However, as society progresses and modernizes, the authority of elders is increasingly being questioned by younger generations.
This development begs the question: have elders lost their voice in the family, or is this a natural evolution in family dynamics?
In this episode of The Bearing, we will find out whether this change signals a decline in respect for elders or something else.
