specialguest: As I type this right now I am literally boiling with Anger. Imagine! I and my partner went to see the pastor today regarding our marriage plans and we met his absence. I decided to check the church office and behold I met his wife. The following conversation ensued between us funny though. I NORMALLY I ADDRESS PASTORS AS DADDY COS THEY ARE SPIRITUAL FATHERS. @ OP IF I WERE YOU, I COULD HAVE SAID, SORRY MUMMY, IS DADDY AROUND, AND DATS SETTLES IT. |

The title Daddy and Mummy is required by pastors and their wife to be absolutely sure they have complete control and domination of your mind. Be wise people, it is all about controll. 4 Likes |

Personally,I cannot call anyone Dad or Mum apart from my parents.Parents-in-law are answering a modified version. My Dad and Mom are special,these two people have made me who I am today,suffered for me and nurtured me,i can't just wake up one morning and bestow such a precious name on someonelse.Call me whatever you like,but that's it for me.My culture thankfully doesn't require it from me as well cos then,I'd be forced to just to tick all boxes. However,if your spiritual leader evokes such parental sentiments in you,why not?It is very wrong though to force it down someone's throat.I think this mostly stems from some misjudged thinking that calling such names would evoke some sort of affection and respect? Here,my pastor introduces himself by his name and expects you to call him exactly that.My fellowship leader and all the old people expect to be called by their names.I show my respect by the way I treat them,speak to them and defer to them.I don't need to call them Dad and Mom for that.Would I treat them better if I called them Daddy?No. I'd rather call Pastor,Sir,Prophet,Mr,Bishop,whatever....just not daddy and mummy. |

specialguest: Maybe it was a test of your 'marraige' credentials and I'm not sure you passed. Sometimes in life things do not appear as they seem ordnarily. Learn to be broad-minded. Doesn't cost you anything. It would have been a five minute interview. Surely you can bear brief humiliation to get life long things. 2 Likes |

Acidosis: Acidosis, on the on the other hand, with the Pastor/Daddy's wife being knowledgeable that different people have different backgrounds and upbringing, why did she not tolerate someone calling her husband as Pastor instead of enforcing that he be referred to as Daddy? I bet you that that Daddy is not up to 60 years old. They are not even Yoruba in the first place else i would have said it was a culture thing for them. I honestly do not see anything wrong in how the OP addressed the pastor. If she had called him by his name along then it would have been wrong. Infact if she had called him Mr. abcd, she would have not been wrong. I wonder what we do with all these titles? 2 Likes |

Reference: ...and i guess when she is asked to eat her shite she should oblige with gratitude because it could be a test for the marriage and she needs to pass? Please lets call a spade a spade. If something is not right, it is not right. I would rather fail the test that say a wrong thing is right. 4 Likes |

Apology and enough respect to good women but, give some women an inch, they take a mile, give first lady a chance to organise women meeting, she blocks all roads to eagle square. When some women have absolute power, they corrupt it absolutely. Men have to learn how to keep the excesses of their women in-check. I am expecting deluge of insults from arrogant ladies in the house. Thanks. 1 Like |

In as much as I don't support the daddy/mummy thing you also hv to take a look at the context in which diff words can be put into use. Assuming U̶̲̥̅̊ were talking to a third person about the pastor; then usage of the word "Pastor" is appropriate but when U̶̲̥̅̊'re talking to someone as close as the Pastor's wife especially in a situation whereby they are elderly people; usage of "Pastor" will be seen as highly disrespectful according to Nigerian tradition. @OP U̶̲̥̅̊ yourself know that but you're only looking for people to support 'ur premise which is obviously wrong! |

tpia@: Mathew 23:9 And don't address anyone here on earth as 'Father,' for only God in heaven is your spiritual Father. MANY False prophets of the End-Times have taken up this title and their masses of gullible, blissfully ignorant minions (who are all going to hell BTW) have placed God on the pages of the Bible and all they do is worship DADDY.. spank me Daddy, o yea Daddy, You hit da Spot Daddy..

sihom: Tpia is forever sounding as sour as she looks, someone help me understand what her problem is. I know she looks sour because I once viewed her profile picture and it made me go and then . My first reaction was hell no how can anyone look that …… but then my second reaction was stop hating she's God's creation as well.

Am a movie director/editor, i jst finished working on a musical video of a female pastor. Whenever she comes around to check her video and i refer to her as sister/pastor abcd, she gets annoyed bt whenever i call her mummy she can give me the whole world. I swear they like to be called mummy and daddy even when they are you age mates. |

specialguest: Tpia@ This woman who invited you here? I see you all over people"s threads on Nairaland making noise and constituting a nuisance all the time. That thing you are spewing out of your mouth is unsolicited right here, go find some other thread to derail.you sound pathetic, is because of your type that most of this pastors see themself as god, you are a typical defination of zoobie. pstoring is what he(pastor) does so call him PASTOR ABCD(HIS NAME), if his wife want poeple to call him daddy why didnt she just tell him to stay at with children to be called Daddy. |

tpia@:Thank you tpia. 1000 Likes for your reply. What is wrong in calling your pastor Daddy? In our African culture among Igbos and Yorubas, we often call our male elders "Papa" or "Baba" and female elders "Mama" or "Mummy". It is for RESPECT and a blessing for humility. |
