The Central Regional Head of Prophets for True Faith Church International, Prophet Pastor Andrews Kobbina has cautioned young Ghanaians to respect their elders and avoid insulting public officials on social media.
Speaking to journalists during an Awards and Dinner Night organized by the Central Regional Sabbath School of the True Faith International, Prophet Andrews addressed the concerning trend of young people increasingly using social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to insult the elderly.
He expressed deep concern over a troubling trend where young people, who have yet to fully experience life or make significant contributions, are using social media platforms to hurl insults at senior citizens and esteemed members of society, often under the guise of political discourse.
Pastor Andrews noted that this behaviour frequently stems from differing viewpoints between the youth and public officials.
On social media, you see young people who have not achieved anything in life insulting people who have been there before they came; please, may you never be like that. Show honour to God, and show honour to your family members and [those in authority], Pastor Andrews said in his interview.
Some organizers of the Sabbath School Awards and Dinner noted that this was to other people who have shown humility and appreciate and motivates them.
They thus called for regular honoring of people in position who are impacting lives positively for others to learn from it.
