Why Do People Use Right Honorable Title by godwinkessi(op): 2:29am On Nov 22, 2019
I know most Nigerian legislators are called Honorables. But when is someone supposed to be addressed as ‘Right Honorable’ ?

It is a British thing. Nigeria always copies what they should not - they copied the wasteful American presidential system but kept the non-egalitarian British honorifics:

What's the difference between right Honourable and Honourable?

Hon. is used for regular members of the house. Rt. Hon. is used for members who are also ministers, the prime minister, or hold positions as speaker and such

In a title crazy society, use of any title is understandable.

Right honourable=Second timers (and above) in the house
Honourable= first timers only

They don't still make Right legislative decisions even after "Right" is attached to them undecided

Right honorable is a title used for someone who is a speaker in a State house of assembly or Federal house of representative.
