As a kid, excessive pride, contempt and disrespect for elders won't get you far, just as you wouldn't go far if you think it is 'yabateh or heybateh' (a mark of dishonour) to need somebody to lean on, because even Aliko Dangote needed his grand father, the late Alhaji Sanusi Dantata.
If you think because you're young, cool and in full reproductive mode, you know better than those who have lived through and seen enough of this complicated world, you need some soul searching kid. Survival is a skill, and experience at it will always prevail over strength; trust me!
'Olof Njie neh lu jinneh magget magget, desseh reygayju bi jommal gunneh.' (No matter how old the jinn is, it will still be able to make a face that will be sufficient to panic a child.
By extension, you wouldn't go far in life if you cannot differentiate between confidence and a disgracefully large ego... and in the name of all things sacred, if you're going to come on social media to comment on what people post, or to attempt to turn their arguments against them, make sure your spelling and grammar aren't as hideous as thanks for ruining my day.
