My Children Are Not Going to Kneel Down and Greet You: Aisha Yesufu
Nigerian activist, Aisha Yesufu, has gone on rampage on social media. She has become more active after her claims that some muslims are attacking her.
According to her, some muslim faithful have been cursing her in mosques. Aisha added that her participation in activism is tagged as “Haram” in islam.
In one of her recent tweets, she talked about parenting, beliefs, tribalism and choices.
For her, most parents are not doing well in raising their children. She also mentioned that some things people pay attention to are not worth it.
“My children are not going to kneel down and greet you. They have never knelt down to greet me or their Dad. But they will respect you not for your age or status but because you are human and deserving of respect irrespective of your beliefs, tribe or choices.”
She seems not to be relenting in her quest to see a better Nigeria as she prepares to continue speaking. However, kneeling down to greet is one of the African ways of showing respect for elders.
