Masue Dorbor Zinnah, 99, has called on the youthful population to always respect older people so that their days on earth will be long and blessed.
“In Life, as a young person, you should always learn to respect people and not only your parents particularly your mother or father as she made reference to the holy Bible,” she urged.
In an exclusive interview with this paper recently, Madam Zinnah further admonished the youthful population to learn to love one another on grounds that God who is our creator showed us love despite our shortcomings.
She indicated that it is good to reciprocate and love each other as a child of God so that our days on earth can be prolonged, adding, “We should love each other and we should share in each other joy and happiness, because God mandates us to love one another.”
“Always be happy for your friends’ success, because with that, God will definitely bless you more with everything. Your friends’ problems should always be your problems,” Madam Zinnah explained.
She further expressed her frustration in Liberia youth saying, “Children of nowadays are too materialists and they do not like to see others being blessed by God. The envy for one another is on the increase and if this continue to exist, this country will not move forward.”
Making reference to her personal life, Madam Zinnah boasted that “Not a day my husband and I ever made argument or insult each other. I felt we needed to live as an example especially we were in a strange county.”
She then lauded her children for the many sacrifices in making sure that she is treated as a mother and provided everything she needs, averring, “For what my children did for me recently and is still doing for me, I feel pleased and satisfied with this honoring program.”
