OMO IBO:

ask me ooo my brother.

I actually meant what I said literarilly just to fool around.
After all there are a couple of Pastor's Children around, aren't there??

But frankly I dont think there is anything wrong in referring to your Pastor/Reverend as your spiritual parent. It is when it escalates into[b] hero-worship[/b] that wahala don start.

giving our religious heads various appellations as "daddy g.o,or rev.d daddy" is meant to accord some respect to them following especiallythe yoruba culture- the whites respect their religious heads and it is not in their culture to call some one "daddy this or mummy that".
also as nigerians, i think we also like to psyche, sycophancy is in most people's blood. we also like bieng unncessarily grandiose-check out the names of churches that exist in naija-u go fear fear!

bottom line is i think your motive for calling your pastor whatever name would determine if calling them by those nomenclature is bad or not
