Maybe I didn't construct the title properly.
But what I simply mean is that - in a scenario whereby you as a dude is way way much older that your girlfriend or toastee. For example you are 26, nd she is like 18 yrs. If she dis respects you - calling you by your name- , are you gona say "Love is all that matters" or you aint gona find it funny.


Sharp niggas, I wanna know your opinion as regards this.

Respect has a lot of definitions. It means different things for different people. The Yoruba say it means lying flat in front of your elder when greeting: among the Sobo (Urhobo-Isoko) people, it means getting on your knees when greeting.

I have had no issues with younger sibs, relationships, or people in general calling me by first name. Though, others would take that as a sign of disrespect at best or deserving of spanking at worst.

In romantic relationships, much of these traditional definitions get blurred more. The major contributor is the notion that these relationships are unlike the traditional relationships: that they are partnerships as well. With gender equality and women emancipation gaining on, the idea is that both parties in an emotional relationship are equal partners.

This redefines romantic relationships, because irrespective of age difference, the fast-rising consensus is that both are mates and equal in status.

For the progressives, it's a better proposition. For the conservatives, it is an hurdle. For many young adults, our mothers in the typical Nigerian society treated our fathers (their husbands) almost as much as they treated our maternal grandfathers (their fathers), if not more. Greetings and salutations were more along the "daddy" lines and explosive arguments was treated with scorn.

So for males brought up in such setting, it is understandable to see the difficulty in the equal partners arrangement.

With that said, it is entirely up to both consenting adults to dictate how they refer to each other in a relationship, without pressure or criticism. You can't be more holier than the Pope or more western than the British.

Dear, Honey, Sweet are all fancy, cool, and modern; but they do not rock the boat of everyone. If he wants to be called "Oga", then be sure you're not putting up a fight solely because none of your friends call their boos that. Understanding and compromise is necessary. Stop trying to keep up with the Joneses.

You can't ask your boo to watch plates with you, simply because your counterparts on the other side of the Atlantic use that as a love indicator.
