abdulkayus: A thread of last year making front page this year. Na wa ooo. Dat means hope dey for dos who are still prayin to hit front page

fingard02k: lolzzz not a new thing @op..in my town you dare not call an OZO titled man a mr.

Feraz: Good evening all! Recently, I went to a function and while they were calling out the names of the guests, I noticed a common trend which was attaching a title before the person's name. It reminded me of when I was in my school's lab and a guest came looking for someone. He told the lab. attendant that he was looking for Mr..... and the lab attendant replied harshly, "Is it Mr.....or Engr.....?" The guest was like "oh, sorry! I mean Engr...." before he replied that he was the one. In my mind, I was like WTF??!!!! When I say title, I don't mean Mr./Miss/Mrs; I mean titles like Pastor Mr., Sir Engr., Bishop Evangelist (is it that both don't preach the word of God?), Dr. Engr., Prof Chief abi na Chief Prof.? Even our supposed lecturers are not left out of this? Try addressing a Dr. or Prof. as Mr. (even if it is a mistake) and watch his reaction....Some have as many as four titles.....does title mean achievement for some?.....Is it only in Nigeria or am I the only one who has noticed this?
What are your views on this?

neksummi: Means nothing to me. But i know of many who don't take it lightly if u didnt call their titles. Naija things sha.

Dammy: when u work very hard 2 bcome a prof. U can leave people uncorrected to call u mister or jst write ur name

Ajibel: I dont see the essence of having multiple titles. Its really senseless. Those being called that way just want people to know their status / class. I'm happy there is nuffin like Chief sotware engr bla bla or Mr Programmer/ web designer bla bla in the IT world

safe journey: That is why I respect OGBENI from Osun State. The day they are swearing in this governor, he said it in public that they should always address him as OGBENI because he came to serve the people of osun state as a servant.

rhemaplus: Well, I have a lecturer who acts contrariwise. He is a prof but at the entrance of his office, its MR that is pasted there. All the project works he supervised bear MR as the title. He doesn't give any damn at all. Tell him thank you sir after he must have taught you or explained something to you, what you will hear with a stern look is 'why are you thanking me, I'm doing my job'. A lady was once passing and she saw the name, she started complaining to a friend that there is so much injustice in this school, that how on earth could a MR be lecturing and still not sharing an office with someone, as she was ranting, the man tip-toped to her back, tapped her at the back and invited her to his office for a lecture of her life. My own submission about it is that, title just as boasting about your age is a false way of covering your inferiority complex. A man that is great needs no title. Jesus is Jesus, the name is great cos he is great, he needs no title. When there is a need to shout your title to people, its simply means you are fast losing it
