Shaffy Bello, a Nollywood actress, demonstrated that she is a typical African woman in a recent interview with Stephanie Coker.
A few years ago, the mother of two, who was 50 at the time, warned that she would descend on young people who disrespected her and called her by name.
When asked if she had encountered Gen Z who addressed her by name, the actress said that she had.
She stated that the Igbos are not as respectful as the Yorubas, but they are not disrespectful. “Aunts” are older women.
According to her, everyone who calls her by name should be called aside and warned that he or she has no right to offend her because she has them as children.
The actress, who left her marriage to pursue performing, noted that youngsters show respect for elderly people by calling them “mam” even when they are not in the country.
