What I Know EP 10: Respect in Nigeria: Tradition vs Individuality Across Generations WITH KORTY
from Shaffy Bello: What I Know · host Shaffy Bello
What does respect really mean to us as Nigerians—and has that meaning shifted over time?In this episode, I sit down with @kortyeo for a candid, necessary conversation on the Nigerian interpretation of respect - how we were taught to give it, how we expect to receive it, and how a new generation is questioning it.We talk about the tension between culture and individuality, the weight of “respect your elders,” and whether respect should be automatic or earned. I share my perspective from lived experience, while Korty brings the voice of a younger generation navigating these expectations in real time.This is not a conversation about right or wrong - it’s about understanding. Because if we don’t examine what we’ve inherited, we can’t decide what we want to keep.Watch, reflect, and tell me - what does respect mean to you now?#ShaffyBelloWhatIKnow #Respect #NigerianCulture #GenerationalConversations
