I'm not surprised. Etiti people no dey ever get respect, especially Isinweke people

The question is, respect who on what grounds? Nna, ga gbara ọgwu gị ńuọ!

emoboy4u:
This shows that you have worked in the coporate world before. I do not have a responnse for you.

I asked a simple question.

Zonefree:
Mbaise is big brother to the Etitis. Normally, you're supposed to be addressing me as Dede.

Dede gbu o gi there!

Delusion is FREE, consume as much as your heart desires.

Spending hugely on the obscene comforts of politicians not the masses.

emoboy4u:
I doubt this because the culture of the corporate world is to address people by their first name without any prefix. So I doubt an executive of a top bank would struggle with that.

Like I asked earlier, what percentage of UBA workers in Nigeria would call Tony Elumelu by his first name, Tony?

Zonefree:
Dede and Dada originated from mbaise. The 'Etitis' borrowed the language.

Tah! Borrow fire!

Share documentary link to your assertion, make I read because everybody get im own version of oral history.

From Mbaise area, I think it is only Ogbor Ihitteafoukwu (Ahiazu Mbaise) I know we are so very dialectically close to because they border Obowo, Ihitte, Nsu and we all have trade in the same markets, historically.

Zonefree:
You're from one of the local governments in mbaise.

Nah!

Mbano, Ihitte-Uboma, Obowo and others also use Dede and Dada.

stnkembu:
.. . But they may be encouraged to do so. E remain who get mind to do am!

Encourage wetin, e be like say to look for another work dey hungry the person ....we can not ignore what people regard as being culturally appropriate.

They keep re-signing agreements and get their own cut.

stnkembu:
In the corporate world, people are called by their first names.

How many UBA workers in Nigeria can boldly call Tony Elumelu by his first name?

enemyofprogress:
make money and respect will find you

It is not about money for me because I don't respect or disrespect people based their financially standing, I have evolved beyond that.

Don't respect me because I am financially comfortable, I prefer you respecting me because you feel my humanity as I am aware of the thin line between adulation and respect, just as I am aware that people are free to generate respect through money.

tommy589:
Are they like that due to Western influence or it is normal culturally

Western influence, yes but culturally many of their tribes are not keen on this respect thing regarding calling of names as some Nigerians are. I come from Imo state and I personally can't call or address someone from my place who is about 6 years and above older than me by their first name, I have to add Dede (for males) or Dada (for females).

enemyofprogress:
Rubbish! Who respect epp?

Respecting both young and old, helps in this journey of life.

Go Nairobi, a 4 year old will call you by your first name and even ask you "how are you"?

Na im one of the early set of GT bank's top executives who was posted to Kenya to head the GTbank's Kenya operation, oga struggled with their Kenyan junior staffs calling him casually by his first name.

If you struggle to pay N260k rent, it shows you are living way above your income.....move to a cheaper accommodation.

Oha soup with akpu.

35k salary?

Help if you can BUT NEVER have any of your half-siblings live with you....help from a distance.

It reminds me of one nitwit here who believes anyone who do not support APC, hates Nigeria but the werey was busy during the September UK admission runs, hustling for POF (Proof of funds, arrangee money) for UK student Visa as per japa things.

potland:
what are the steps in getting a passport

I don't know the current procedure, the last time I got a passport in Nigeria was in 2010 and things have really changed since then!

Glad no life was reported lost.

Mmaaazi Nnamdi Kanu

This you are repeatedly mentioning him, it seems you are looking for your antipsychotic medication.

GanagiBitrus:
Same Messi #10 Jersey you can easily buy for <10k.

But Messi no wear am nah.

Comedy central.

sarkinbauchi:
While Peter Obi invested Anambra resources and capital to build and commission Beer Factory

HERO Beer / Obidients Beer
Gbajue

And your governors over the years invested in boko haram, bandits, almajiris and teenage brides.

Sarkinbauchi, it may interest you that the cut off mark for kids for your state admission into Federal government colleges is less than 38 while Anambra the highest cut off mark under Peter Obi which remains today at 139......redirect energy and help kids in your community as Nigeria will not perpetually subsidize their educationally backward status.

Blessed4sure:
I support opening a passport office at Ikorodu but all those places you mentioned are closer to the Ikeja passport office than Ikorodu

Oh, Ikeja office skipped my mind as I was only thinking of the Festac and Ikoyi offices, my Ikoyi office experience back then wasn't a joke!

jydeskill1:
Obscure location.

There is nothing obscure about it, nearer for those in Ketu, Mile 12 etc.

Igbo.

As a Nigerian man, ask him about the health insurance plan he already has that covers him, his wife and children and the provision he is making to extend to the second wife, ask him of the life assurance policy he has taken that will protect his family with financial support when he dies......selective mutism will set in!.

CHRISTFUCKER:
But he turned out good and made Russia what it's today

Even those who struggle with psychosis, have their own perception of what is good.

CHRISTFUCKER:
Was Stalin a product of torture and abuse ??

Yes, by his alcoholic father.

CHRISTFUCKER:
Torturing and abusing them will make them strong

Are you a product of torture and abuse?
