Only the elders deserve respect is an old African or should I say Nigerian stereotype which I'm happy to say has drastically reduced due to more enlightenment, education, etc.
People who asked to be constantly respected actually do not deserve it. Because once you respect other people there's bound to be that mutual reciprocation.
Asking for respect in the first place is a very unnecessary thing to do. Respect is giving to get back back, I love your illustration. Thank you very much.
You are very much welcome.
