Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams says Ghanaians are fast losing respect for the elderly. According to him, the age-old Ghanaian culture of deferring to elders even when a child is right and the elder is wrong appears to have disappeared. ��You haven�t done anything and you just get up, just because you don�t agree with somebody�s belief or faith, you just insult and criticise them; that is not our culture�, he said. According to him, �we are not used to this kind of culture�. �We have respect for the elderly. In our culture we don�t insult people. Even when you are right and you are wrong, you still give respect to the elderly. Something is changing in this culture�, he bemoaned. The Christian Action Faith Ministries� (CAFM) General Overseer recently came under a hail of criticism for praying for the local currency � cedi � to recover against the dollar and other major international currencies. He suffered similar fate when he said non-achievers were not qualified to criticise him.
