SisterAnn:
Is Tinubu older than Atiku?

This is why a certain nairalander calls you lots snake oil merchants. 🤣🤣

Once you are obi supporter you reason upside down. Who was talking about atiku and Tinubu? Jonathan Tinubu is the discussion here.

Read and thank me leter..

Can you screenshot and underline the specific paragraph or sentence where that link posits that he should be called President Tinubu and not Bola? Or President Tinubu and not Tinubu?

If yiiyrr unable to provide such, it means you're either lacking in comprehension, or you're simply mischief maker.

mecuries:
This is not case of who is older. It's about respecting the seat the other person holds.

So why don't you apply it to Tinubu or you suspend your morality because it's Tinubu.

chicfarmer:
Is Atiku Bola's mate?

You need to ask atiku o. Because recently he said Tinubu is 90 years old I, so maybe Tim but is older.

Ezeama400:
Ok let’s follow your narrative..So why is Tinubu and his gangs getting triggered simply because Atiku called Tinubu by his name ?

Atiku and Tinubu who’s older ?

Your problem be that.

Kdon2:

That's why I laugh when I see APC followers condemning Atiku

FxMasterz:
No no no no. Check all positions on the matter. The issue is Bola, not Tinubu. President Tinubu is not necessary. Call him Tinubu. Don't call Trump, Donald. Call him Trump. Not necessarily President Trump. Trump is okay. Tinubu is okay. Not necessarily President Tinubu. It's disrespectful to Nigeria as a sovereign state. Atiku should know better. But I'm sure he's doing it to spite southern leaders.

I challenge you to provide any source that emphasises President Tinubu instead of just Tinubu.

Bola is a Yoruba leader

Stop being a clown with your statement

There’s no southern anything anywhere

This Yoruba people sef

Imagine nonsense

I understand your frustration.

What happened to your other Nairaland account?

You didn't get the evidence I asked for? No one is asking you about Yoruba or southern anything. Of what use is your friendship to the Yoruba? I'm asking for the evidence from your link.

He didn't repeatedly call him Ebele or Goodluck, he called him Jonathan, same way people call Tinubu or Buhari.

The issue is Atiku calling an adult Bola publicly, it is not culturally appropriate, And there is a high level of mischief to Atiku's actions

What is the difference calling Jonathan by his first name or his last name? As the president and commander in chief of the armed forces, was he supposed to address Jonathan by any of his name at all? What happened to calling him Mr president or his excellency? It gets to his turn now u all are crying, hypocrites everywhere.

Using his last name is the standard, formal protocol when referring to him professionally. President Jonathan or Dr. Jonathan.

Addressing or referring to a head of state solely by their first name (e.g., Goodluck, Cyril, Donald, Bola, Manuel) is generally considered highly informal, familiar, or politically adversarial and that's what Alhaji Atiku did.

I am not a Tinubu fan but the office is more important than their person. President Tinubu is the holder of the title for now and GCFR and that deserves respect. Even when he leaves the office, there is still a way to address him but while he's there, I see some of his fans not knowing the protocol of names and they say Jagaban President or Asiwaju after his name. Asiwaju is not his name, it is a title. You can can't call him President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. I don't think a lot of people are able to separate the issues probably because they already chose the side that want to be on and think it's about Bola, Peter or Abubakar. The office of the President deserves respect and Mr Atiku as a former VP is not new to protocol, he knows the right thing to say/do. Why didn't he start all these with Muhammadu? Again, there is no proof yet that Mr Tinubu called Jonathan by his first name while in office.


Which reminds me, as the president, Goodluck Jonathan actually issued an official presidential directive regarding how he should be addressed. In October 2013, Jonathan directed all government officials and public media to desist from addressing him as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces during non-military events. Instead, he instructed that his name and title be used as follows:


1. For official/formal purposes: He was to be addressed strictly as "His Excellency, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria."

2. For general civil correspondence: He preferred to be addressed simply as "The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria" or "Mr. President."

ResidentSnitch:
The stench of your hypocrisy must be embarrassing even you.

You're the hypocrite in this. i don't have anything with whatever name calling, it doesn't add or remove much. If you like, call baron etc. Popular people and leaders have popular nicknames or are called with their surnames. Clinton, Trump, Obama, Biden, Jagaban, Putin, GEJ, Jonathan, OBJ, Obasanjo, Buhari, PMB, Tinubu, Elon Musk, Dangote, Bill Gates, Otedola, etc.
If you took time to notice, these all have the surnames. Bola is not a surname. That's your hypocrisy.

Kdon2:
Is Tinubu Jonathan's mate?

Jonathan has been there,done that already years before YEKINI AMOUDA so yes,they ain't mates

Mr president Tinubu can never go wrong in my eyes..oh my🤭

ResidentSnitch:

CAN'T YOU USE YOUR BRAIN?

IS JONATHAN NOT HIS SURNAME?

IF ATIKU HAD SAID "TINUBU", WHO WOULD COMPLAIN?

THIS IS BASIC INTELLIGENCE.

IT'S NOT HARD.

IF PETER OBI HAD REFERRED TO BUHARI AS "MUHAMMADU", THIS SAME ATIKU YOU'RE SUPPORTING WOULD HAVE HAVE LAMBASTED OBI TO KINGDOM COME.

THAT IS WHY THE NORTH DOMINATE YOU.

REGARDLESS OF PARTY AFFILIATION, THEY UNITE WHEN THEY NEED TO.

THAT'S WHY THEY DECIDE WHO RULES NIGERIA, NOT YOU.

helinues:
Heh, so he should have pronounced Jonathan with local dialect bah

We don't even know who is more dull between the opposition and their supporters

Lol, this is very funny though... So adding President is now bad?

You go explain taya my brother.

Kayode, issokay nah 😆

Emergency lovers of Nigeria loving Nigeria because Buhari used INEC to rig in their drug lord as President of Nigeria now shortchanging every region for their gains

FxMasterz:
When would you guys come to comprehension?

If something as simple as 'First name' eludes you, how would you comprehend the need for reforms that repositions a country and delivers it from years of plundering and pillaging?

Call Tinubu, Tinubu. That's acceptable. Calling him Bola is wrong. Did Tinubu call Jonathan Ebele, or did he call him Goodluck?

Stop playing to the gallery.

For the fact that random people on the Internet and in the streets called him Jonathan didn't mean that a top citizen like Tinubu should also call him Jonathan.

Tinubu was supposed to address him as President Jonathan or simply The President.

Don't come here and deceive yourself with that first name last name pollution.

Kdon2:
Is Tinubu Jonathan's mate?

Oh it's no longer about the office the person occupies, haha una dey unstable truly

What's the fuss about this? Is Bola not his name? He deserve no iota of respect in the first place.

Mitcheww.

Jonathan is his surname, and all presidents are usually referred to by their surnames. Not by their first names. 'Jonathan' is absolutely correct. Goodluck is wrong. If Atiku calked him Tinubu, no one would say anything. But 'Bola' is wrong.

You must think you are talking to babies.

One famous Nigerian bigot once said that "Jonathan was worse than Nebuchadnezzar". Today Tin*bu is worse than Lucifer.

AMINDA:
Between calling him Ebele or Goodluck and calling him a drunk fisherman from Otueke, which is worse? Woke Soyinka also called Patience Jonathan a Shepopotamus.

You are talking of two different situations, Tinubu has been called all sort of names which is fair game as a politician but addressing him by his first name is very inappropriate, remember Tony Elumelu corrected an individual recently.

In most cultures it's not professional to call an individual by their first name when addressing them publicly, if you don't know me I'll not allow you address me by my first name publicly.
