A father and mother, in the context of Africa, won’t necessarily mean those who had given birth to you biologically, but also those who stand in places of authority or those who have cared for you over time
Honouring your father and mother is being respectful in word and action and having an inward attitude of esteem for their position.
From a religious perspective, whether you are a Christian or a Muslim, we are enjoined to honour and obey our parents, respect their opinion, and be kind to them.
We should accept, respect our parents, and revere them even when we share divergent opinions.
The values that have shaped us over the years as young children, like honouring parents and people in authority, should be upheld even when we manage social media spaces so that we don’t have bigger monsters to deal with.
