Older generation Somalis

I feel like we are a world apart mentally especially when it comes to their outlook on the future and some of the advices they give you are really horrible and if you disagree with them they'll get offended really easily...have any of you experienced the same issues or is it just only me?
 
I had an argument with a woman my mum knows. She was stating ignorant scientific claims when I told her the facts she said :

"Aniga waan ogahay wixiy ka hadloyi" . :dead:
 
I also don't like this part of Somali culture where they seek advice from elders.. If you are ignorant I don't think it'll change as you grow older.

I think it applies on every society, in the west, oriental, african, etc. You just need to get along with them, and ignore the wrong ideas they advice you.

This is hierarchy is too deeply entranched in our culture and pysche for anything to happen
You can show them every type of evidence to prove your point but if you're a diaspora millennial they will accuse you of Western propaganda. :gucciwhat:
one of the reasons its too hard to move things along for a better future
Asking for basic shit is western propaganda

This is true wallahi... We are backward due to this culture of listening to elders for advice..these elders will give advice on to realise a rapist and no body would even question their logic or reasoning out of respect because they are "wise" elders
 
But real talk tho people born in the 80s and beyond are old now hitting their 40s and had nothing or little to do with 90s nonsense but found themselves there or escaping
They are the adult now and should be disregarding these cane holding,macawiis wearing ,fatass,red headed old nikkas but apathy and the lack of change and very serious destablizations in and out the country is too powerful
 
The only elder that I truly respect for his wisdom and knowledge is my great-grandfather, an oday as we no longer see

You lot have too much time on your hands. Never argue with the older generation.

Just give them a fake smile, nod and keep it moving. They never really listen and usually think they are right because of age.

But shouldn't we say something when they are clearly wrong and handing out bad advices like free candy :wow:
