Dear Mr Volodymyr Zelensky
Soldiers are gentlemen thats why there are rules governing the conduct of war. The purpose of warfare is not to inflict maximum damage,no! The purpose of warfare is to disarm men,that's why there are prisoners of war. The purpose of warfare is not to kill men, solfdiers are not terrotisyts.
I see you are continually asking for sophisticated weapons from your allies. I am yet to read a report of you asking for medical supplies. Winston Spencer Churchill ex british prime minister did say because science war ceases to be a gentleman's game, what more he counselled, never never believe that any war would be smooth and easy.
Zelensky it's said he who wishes war most must count the cost and it's also been said soft and weak wins over hard and strong. You do not burn bridges you build bridges.you are not building bridges by saying NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER ,if you have got to the point of exchanging prisoners then you should widen the channels of communication ,not close them, widen the bridges not destroy them,
The Elders may have weak limbs as they say but have wisdom
and experience and they know the way and the youths or young men
like you have strength and
spontaneity,you know how to run but the elders and the youth should
not be working at cros purposes, rather they should be in a symbiotic
relationship,if for instance the youth carry the elders of weak limbs on
their strong shoulders i mean the strong shoulders of the yout or
youngmen like you, the youth or people of your age would see the
seven continents and sail the seven seas otherwise you might just
be drifting like the osibisa who are going not knowing where they're going just optimistic rather than be like the kool and the gang who are sure of a fantastic voyage
Elders do not quarrel with children they only try to test them look at
this crisis
as a test of your strength.now that you have fought your father to the point
of exchanging 100 prisoners, its time to cease fire. You have made your
point and you have proved to be a courageous man in your community
its good to have men of courage in the community in case of eventuality,
so the community is rest assured that they have you
Zelensky its been said "there must always be a disagreement between
a father and a son, one talks about power and the other independence"
its also been said that the father who says" boys will be boys is rarely
the father of the loser"
Zelensky You do not turn to the father next door complaining to him
believing he is a better father than your own father for what you are
seeing is not what you're getting because you might out that his own
children have their own genuine misgiving about him so stay with your father until you are old enough to be on your own.
Zelensky you have fought your father to the point of exchanging 100
prisoners now is the time to cease fire and reconcile with your father because you have proved your elf to be a man
What yur father would now do,in yoruba of nigeria tradition is to build
you your own mud hut within his compound and then he presents you
with a wife, a goat a hoe and your parcel of farmland because you
have become a man then we your elders brothers we present you with
a keg of palm wine, wrap of kola nuts, bottle of honey and tongues
of pepper, you are now qualified to be sitting in the company of your
elder brothers.
E give you palm wine because it promotes responsibility, you do not
drink palm wine and get drunk,if you do your are flogged that is
the protocol of palm wine drinking.palm wine promote moderation
and responsibility and more, when you start drinking with us you would learn a lot about life,then he who brings kola nuts brings life, may your life be a sweet as honey and pepper is good for your heart may you continue to have a healthy heart,that's done
