Country where most PhD holders are dunce.
After pushing themselves through school with excess funds and plagiarized works they start feeling like demigods. I hate it here.

hahahahahaha.....you got it 100% my man. PhD in Nigeria is a big scam .....overwhelming majority of PhD holders are product of plagiarism.

I see that a lot of people take pride in addressing or introducing themselves using their job titles, for example like Pharmacist John, Nurse Grace, Builder Idris, Architect Biodun, Barrister Okoye etc, instead of just Mr. X or Mrs. Y. The most annoying is the ubiquitous title Engr. used by every tom, dick and harry who knows just a little about a certain technical vocation.

When I compare this to what obtains abroad (Europe and America) I notice that the only common job titles in use over there are Dr. and Prof. I've seen a full American professor address himself simply as Dr. (something that will never happen in Nigeria). And they are supposed to have more technical know-how than us, right? Yet they don't flaunt their job titles. So why is our own different?

Nigerians believe in first impression

We are easily carried away by titles

That's why I rarely do business with anyone that introduces himself as a pastor

Once you say you are a pastor, it's a red flag, they think that people would trust them once they present as clergy

Your head get oil...
Highest form of hypocrisy.
Let your name or title speak for you.

Low self esteem

I see many pple on here saying Nigerians love title, blah, blah... That's not the case. The Politicians you see in Nigeria today are simply a reflection of the 200 million fools of Nigeria.

Nigerians are too arrogant and proud, simple! It's a case of empty barrel making the loudest noise.

I think the appropriate heading should be professional title and not job title

Stop being an ignoramnus.
Titles like Engr, Dr., Architecture, Barristers and military ranks are official.

I agree with you. But what about titles like Pharmacist, Surveyor, Builder, Nurse and the likes. And what about all the half-baked technicians who are parading themselves as Engineers?

Whereas in banks, even CEOs are referred to by their first names.

Bro, what people go through to get those title no be small thing.
To get Engr. title, you spend over 250K, lobby with people, travel to abuja, write exam, write interview and pay yearly if accepted

however, I believe the title should not define you as a person irrespective
