obeycian: Even if she is 10yrs younger than your present age, pls address her by either sister or Aunty before mentioning her name She is already married that's enough respect for her, one day she will birth a child and you call her by her child's name If you are living with them, do so, the house belongs to her and she knows best how to butt you out or allow you to stay with them 1 Like |

frozen70: Was that necessary? Why does one feel the need to show who owns what? Would you say the same if it were your own brother? Are you contentious? Why not tell him to prostrate before her because she's Eze nwaanyi? That is how division in the family starts unnecessarily... 5 Likes |

I don't see anything wrong with calling your elder brother's wife by her name if she's younger than you. I call my elder brother's wife by her name, my younger sister too calls her by her name too. We don't see any big deal in it, after all it's her name, isn't it? Where we used to live, girls do call women older than them and even old enough to be their mother by their names, they don't see it as a big deal. Instead of someone to refer to me as 'dear' or use the word 'dear' on me, I would prefer he or she to call me by my full names rather, irrespective of whether you're older than me or not. Afterall, they're my names. So, I see no big deal in all these. 2 Likes |

Mumben: I think you're wrong in trying to coerce her into that, you have friends who are below that age and if you've worked in a coy, you would have people ahead of you who are also below you age. Even the school you went to same thing. Just saying, don't breed enmity out of nothing. |

One’s name is their identity. That’s enough respect. I don’t know why we like to complicate things. OP ask her what she wants to be called. I promise it’s not that complicated. 7 Likes |

obeycian: Calling her mummy XYZ or Iyawo wa or sister XYZ takes nothing from you. She is your elder brothe's wife. Omo Yoruba ni e. Signs. |
Re: Is It Appropriate To Call My Elder Brother's Wife By Her Name. by mariahAngel(f): 12:01pm On Dec 17, 2020 |
bukatyne: Most people here don't understand where the op is coming from... The Yoruba culture Some even said it's "overboard" People would condemn, rather than try to understand and respect the culture and ways of others. As long as it is not western, it is dumb, stupid, backward, overboard, insane, fake, bla bla bla... We're slowly killing/losing our beautiful culture to "wokeness" One topic that made front page the other day, the op said his sister wanted her traditional marriage done in the city...omg! Bukky, ignorantly stupid comments filled the whole place! If you understand the whole process of Igba nkwu nwaanyi in Igbo land (traditional marriage rites), you'd know that it was stupid of the op to create that thread in the first place. |
Re: Is It Appropriate To Call My Elder Brother's Wife By Her Name. by Karleb(m): 12:07pm On Dec 17, 2020 |
mariahAngel: Why did you bring Igbo into this issue kwanu? In yoruba, the highest form of respect he can give her is iyawo or call her by her child's name not calling her aunty. That is if the the woman in question is ready to call her Baba Oko or Booda. That's the culture which can be bulllshit sometimes. |
Re: Is It Appropriate To Call My Elder Brother's Wife By Her Name. by bukatyne(f): 12:11pm On Dec 17, 2020 |
mariahAngel: Na today wokeness start? How can a Yoruba person ask if he should call his elder brother's wife by name? Sometimes, I try to understand some people here are trolling/ typing out their fantasies. It doesn't align with what you see in the real world. |
Re: Is It Appropriate To Call My Elder Brother's Wife By Her Name. by bukatyne(f): 12:15pm On Dec 17, 2020 |
Karleb: What is bullshit about not calling your in-laws name or aunty/uncle/Iyawo/egbon etc. especially when you don't see them often? Even if you see them every day, does it cost you anything? And you wonder why we lack an identity! |
