OAP and leader of the Free the Sheeple movement, Daddy Freeze, has given his opinion about a Nigerian youth who demanded Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka vacate his seat onboard a flight yesterday by saying he would have done the same.
In an open letter to politician/Businessman, Tonye Cole who shared the story online, Freeze wondered what the respect Nigerians have so far given to their elders has done for us as a nation.
He said that it was important to demand that people in the wrong seat should leave whether it was politically, spiritually or otherwise.
He wrote:

Dear Tonye Cole,
I probably would have politely done the same thing the young man did.
–
Growing up, I was taught never to challenge my elders.
In retrospect, I find it difficult to point to what this has earned us as a people? Are we more morally upright, safer, richer and better than nations where children are encouraged to stand up to elders? NO!
–
Nigeria, with all our respect, has become the poverty capital of the world boasting of more people in extreme poverty than China and India combined, YES, COMBINED! (According to worldpoverty.io)
–
Some of our elders have sold our birthright, lied to us about salvation and taken foolish decisions that have impoverished us.
–
What drew me to Prof. Soyinka in the first place was the fact that he never failed to challenge our leaders in power and religion, no matter their age.
–
The young man on the flight DEMANDED his right; if you can’t demand your right on a flight, how can you demand it from the government or church?
–
The government needs to provide amenities for the people, while the Church should be accountable to the last kobo, we MUST demand this!

Christ was less than 33 years old when he challenged the Pharisees, the authorities in religion of that time, who were in their 70s and 80s. ~FRZ
