Never say never because there are people in this country that have this entitlement mentality. Even in universities, some lectures will rebuke you for not addressing them with their preferred title.

Doctors are referred to as Doctors in the hospital and wherever it is expected that their profession is represented.

What he/she is trying to say is that you can be called Mr. anywhere

As a medical doctor, Dr is a professional title known to your colleagues and those at your workplace and the healthcare circles.

You don't go around on the streets telling everyone you're a doctor.

I hope this helps.

Hello, somebody if I were I would go and verify someone's claim before coming online to comment nonsense, you act as you know but you know nothing, I posted what I posted, I don't blab, may be you have comprehension problem, I said consultants, not General practitioners, go and verify from those countries and mentioned and displaying stupidity, be knowledgeable!!!

Sorry, it's not. English, being our lingua franca, does it make us the first speakers of the language? I may be a Nigerian, but I grew up in a different environment where English is not the main language of communication. Please, be exposed and stop judging a man by how good his spoken English is.

erniok2:
Quit your "be exposed" nonsense. The issue is: why are chinese and Iranians not using english in there schools as you claimed and I'm pointing out the obvious fact.

Nigeria being a multi-lingual nation had to adopt the colonial language as its lingua franca. So did most African franco-phone nations. If you grew up in say Burkina Faso, definitely, the language would not be English.

Was his PhD thesis done in another language apart from English if he is really one unless you have proof he got it in an environment where English is nit spoken.

emapeteum:
My point is your initial assessment was like a child's idea. Speaking standard English is not a quality of being a doctor. One can be a Nigerian by blood but trained in a different environment where English is not the lingua franca. Besides, even training in an English country does not mean the requirement for you to be a doctor is to know lexis and structures and grammar. That's not the usual requirement, but the technical aspect is what matters. Grow up from this mindset, please.

How was elisha punished by God. Scriptures verses to buttress this wild claim pls.

SIRTee15:
It's in the Jewish mishnah- babylonia talmud.

It also said God was displeased with him for punishing Gehazi too harshly instead of correcting him more gently.

The Sages taught: Elisha fell ill three times. One was a punishment for inciting the bears to attack the children; and one was a punishment for pushing Gehazi away with both hands, without leaving him the option to return; and one was the sickness from which he died, as an expression of illness is stated three times in the verse about Elisha: “And Elisha became sick [ḥala] with his illness [ḥolyo] from which he would die” (II Kings 13:14). The root ḥet, lamed, heh, which indicates illness, is used twice in this verse, and it is stated once that Elisha will die.
Tractate Sotah 47a

The point is that u have anointing doesnt give u the authority to misuse it.

I may agree with the last part in the light of the new testament but you should note the old testament was a show of power.

As for the talmud, I know nothing about it neither do I want to explore. Ì had thought we were discussing the bible.
