Redstorm: Can I ask a question ? I go ask , do you have a job ? , I mean any professional title at all ? You prolly do not have any so you found those who uses theirs to address themselves kinda offensive or inappropriate... As the matter of fact it happens like that all around the world , so stop the hate for the professional who re proud of their title Even if you no get job .. feel free to add jobless to your social media bio , we would address you with due respect 1 Like |

posty56: especially my Igbo brothers if chieftaincy of so so so village never attach to their name ,them no go donate money, Nigerians are very prideful people and are looking for ways to abuse people beneath them,that's why soldiers/police do what they do,rich people abuse poor, politicians abuse their powers etc. |

Its because most Nigerians are naturally disrespectful. They are superficial and can't reason beyond what they see. If you don't teach them how to address you, they'll end up dragging you in the mud. Some years ago I didn't care about my professional title until I had received my own fair share of disrespect and mud dragging, this prompted me to always introduce myself first whenever I meet people.n 3 Likes |

I think the author has a point, but it can be challenged regardless. I saw someone's post talking about the Europeans, yeah but note that we mustn't copy everything. Our culture likes titles, from Chief, Engr, His excellency, Honourable, Deacon, Deaconess. etc. That's just something we have to deal with. But i agree with the fact that any TDH with vocational studies attendance / participation or so would take the title of an Engr. That's absurd 1 Like |

Most annoying one is a one term senator from the second republic who still retains the title Senator . But more annoying is how governors and the president are addressed as your excellency. If you go to the spiritual field you have them addressing themselves as pastors, prophet/prophetess, Reverend, bishop, and the yeye GO title . |

Franzinni: It's inferiority complex. What do I care of people assume I'm a cleaner when I'm a Surgeon or Engineer or Accountant. The more they assume incorrectly the better for me. Less expectations, less financial demands. As a Techie, would you go around saying "I am Programmer Franzini"? Does it matter if people think you are a Yahoo boy (as a techie) when you know you write codes that earn you way more that "Nurse C" or "Accountant 1"?. A phone repair technician will say he is Engr X or a medicine store business owner will say they are "Pharm B" Regarding your "tech software" are there any "non-tech software"? 1 Like |
