In most African societies, respecting one's elders is considered very important and proverbs like, "What the elders see sitting, the young one cannot see standing on an iroko tree" encourage this belief.

Currently trending on social media is a video of a Nigerian man on an aeroplane, getting into a verbal exchange with one of the air hostesses. While the gist of the issue remains unclear, the man could be heard asking, "Do you think I'm your mate?"
