Those calling her by name would definitely be ”Igbos”, some sons and daughters of perdition claimed that Igbo children use to wake their parents with side kicks so an ”Igbo” wouldnt find it difficult to call that aunty by her name without any iota of respect...

Go Nairobi, a 4 year old will call you by your first name and even ask you "how are you"?

Na im one of the early set of GT bank's top executives who was posted to Kenya to head the GTbank's Kenya operation, oga struggled with their Kenyan junior staffs calling him casually by his first name.

Jim Ovia insisted that we must call him by first name. The first time I went into his office to fix things, it was uncomfortable for me. So when ever there is a call from his office to my department, I don't go, I beg someone else to go. I cannot be calling my father's age mate, and the owner of the company by his first name. Shey I dey him naming ceremony ni?

Why are ya'll throwing insults?
Is it not disrespectful to call an elder by his/her name. Is it not our culture?
I don't understand this generation.

Fine respect is essential... But I don't expect her to a raise a conversation like this... Na Naija carry respect for head... Your name na shaffy why Una dey call Jesus for Name abi na Oga Jesus Una dey call am... Nigerians and their stupid mentality and entitlement self gratification... If I see I go call u shaffy... Love me jeje love me tender, U no be my boss Na only boss people dey respect that way... Go some country sef they will still call their bosses by name. Shaffy go rest abeg

Guy no kill me before my time abeg🤣

You are just arguing nonsense because probably you ain't raised well..... The insistence of the west to be called by their first name is their culture, why are you throwing yours away?? If you say this one has no value then what value is the one of the west has?? Most of you are suffering from cultural inferiority..... Ok go to Tinubu, Buhari or Abacha and address them as hello Mr. Tinubu, Mr. Buhari or Mr. Abacha. On a normal day, the west even use "Sir" as sign of respect for age and position... Nobody is fighting for respect, it's just a concern that kids like you are destroying the order of nature

hegelian:


It's only stupid people that fight for respect and recognition.. Successful and popular people have become an icon that got respect in loads without the normal cultural respect.. Why do you think we don't call buhari, Tinubu, abacha, Jesus, prophet Muhammed and all successful people withbrepsctful name but instead call them by their first nameonly stupid and unaccomplished people fight for respect..

You are just a fool cos it's obvious u don't have sense.. What do you call dangote again Mr respect?? Abeg what do you call your religious figure be it Jesus or prophet Muhammed?? Mr dindinrin what do you call osibanjo, Mr nanamu what do you call obasanjo..dindinron feeling funky.. The day you become a household name, you gain something much more than cultural respect.. You have gained divine respect... So she should pick one.. And Mr ago this one has nothing to do with the west.. Everything is a duck measurement to you lot, inferiority complex dolt

To call me foolish at first shows how you are raised so poorly, you call them by their names but if you meet them face to face will you do the same thing?? That is called respect, or you have another name for it? You that is making mouth here, if you happen to meet Osinbajo today face to face.. you will shout Mr Osinbajo?? Abeg go and get sense and try to reverence your elders when you see them, it will help you in life.

Miyachi:

Of what use is culture if it doesn't bring progress. We should have continued the killing of twins and child marriages since they were part of our culture.

State that it's a preference and be done with it but don't come and hide behind culture. Is culture divine, isn't it man-made?

I think too much respect (or reverence) for elders is why we are in such a mess in this country. You see old people misbehaving and you look the other way because they are old.

I don't think there's anything wrong with referring to a person by their name but if it's their preference that I don't, fine. It isn't a dearth of respect on my part.

Culture has nothing to do with politics. This is just the usual style of connecting everything to the situation of the country. When has respect for elders stopped the youth from coming out to contest in an election? Or have we not seen some youths who also messed up in politics? Does this have anything to do with culture?

It's time we go back to our values and unique culture and create a sane society. It's the disrespect and disregard for our culture that has led to moral decadence in the society and no headway anymore.

You would think the respect thingy will have addressed the way we hate ourselves in this part of the world but it has not. Rather what it does is to make an older person rip you apart and then turns back to tell you that you don't have respect for speaking up cos you were ripped. Action is respect, not just mere words, and respect is reciprocal.

I talk am say u no get sense.. So if you meet Jesus christ today, you will say brother Jesus.. People call buhari to his face and even called obasanjo to his face.. Tinubu was severally called Tinubu by even the lowest person to his face during campaign.. Accomplished people have transcend the normal cultural respect that a normal person like you crave for.. You think dangote will value being called Voda dangote abi?? Use your sense omode yii..

How will you feel if someone causally calls your mother by her name because they're in the same industry. I when the likes of Funke Akindele, Kate Henshaw etc were still , they referred to older actors as uncle this aunty that. This new generation of actors are so stupid, they think they're all mates because they all meet in set.

Like you said it's an industry if she doesn't want disrespect she can stay at home
We should be professional in all our doings

if this has come from another tribe I wouldn't bother, but a Yoruba fellow called Oyindamola. Really some mothers have failed in their duties as a mother.

Who respect help? It’s only enforced because everyone wants their child to appear cultured to their friends. Respect is the reason we have old idiots fooling themselves without younger folks telling them otherwise.

It's crystal clear that arrogance cum ego smells in ya DNA....What do ya want to be called...Are ya better than d successful n most celebrated within d society...

I concur with her!!!

The ones feeling woke are usually those who are not from silver spoon backgrounds and learnt their wokeness from social media.
