NoToPile: As in! It is very simple! I have no memory of any of my father’s friends calling my mum by her name. This one talks and claims right too much. People like this can drag issues to the end of the world. 6 Likes |

Klass99: The text incident happened 8 days before the Friday before the wedding. I still traveled to the state for the wedding despite other male friends telling me not to do it. 5 or 6 days after the text, the same friend who is already owing tens of thousands called me and wanted to borrow money from me. I told him no, and still added that I had rent to pay for someone soon. He still insisted. He said "You're the only person I get the effrontery to borrow from" I refused ofcourse and he said "If I had offended you, I am sorry" Now, I know that any apology that starts with "If" is a false one. But I didn't say anything. He knows what he did, you cannot be saying "If" except you do not acknowledge any offence in the first place. On the Friday before the wedding, in the afternoon, he was still asking me for 30,000. I refused. Around 8pm, I called him to know about the plans for breakfast the next day. That was when he discovered, I had rented my own room. He started talking to me like I had betrayed him ... for renting my own room. Mehn story plenty. This guy borrowed money from me to pay for some rooms in the hotel, he paid me back two days later, (the only condition I agreed to borrow him) On the wedding day, he told our MSc Class rep that I left angrily at his moment of need, and that he rented 17 rooms in the hotel. The class rep knows me well and refused to believe his story. In fact, the class rep asked me for the story on the way to the wedding. I refused to tell him, I told him to go first and hear what they will say. Mehn, the story plenty. 7 Likes |

Klass99: I love your fighting spirit. No one can cheat you and get away with it. This is the same trait that works in developed climes. I hate all these "leave it for GOD" talks. If it's something that's within the law, I will pursue it to get justice. 3 Likes |

DonroxyII: You are very patient with the OP. If the OP cannot respect his friend's boundaries, he should end the friendship. How is Oga, Daddy wa, Daddy Shade, Odogwu, Hubby, Madam, Lolo, Lady M, Mummy Titi, Our wife, Wifey etc. takes nothing from me. Even my colleagues turned friends older than my husband do not call him by name. 2 Likes |

belcom10: I just wonder how you would refer to them in the first-person. Nigerians and our convoluted cultures and practices. People are all in here defending this as "culture". Because it's culture doesn't make it right, same reason why a lot of cultural practices have been abolished. 3 Likes |

WackyJ1:My brother, everything was never fine!. How ur friend treated u is how he has always regarded u. No mutual respect. In this life, if u don't value urself, no one will value u. Pls learn from this experience. My advice, forget him and move on. Cos he will never change how he regards u. 5 Likes |

In the Yoruba culture, it's very, very wrong and disrespectful especially if she's a mother. You refer to her as 'Madam X' if she's yet to have kids OR call her by her kids name... 'mummy X' if she's got kid(s). 1 Like |

It's not a question of right or wrong sir. It's a question of preference of the person and the weight of culture. Personally, I have never called the first names of the wives and husbands of my close friends... I find that awkward honestly! I leave it at "your wife" and "your husband"! Let's not complicate our lives abeg! 2 Likes |

I call my friends wives.. Iyawo or amaria. How is Iyawo or how is amaria.. @OP What gives you the effrontery to be calling your friend's wife by her name?.. is she your girlfriend or blood relation? Even when an old man with grown up kids marry a much younger woman.. the woman automatically becomes their step mother and they must regard her as that regardless of age. 2 Likes |

If all of you, including his to be wife were all pally pally before now, and calling each other by first names, I don't see how that should change especially as you are age mates. Better beware of this your dude. 4 Likes |

Although I see nothing wrong with the address, but I think it's preference and more respectful to him to address her as "his wife, your woman," etc. 1 Like |
