This woman called Neo in Matrix “olo’run iya”. 🤣🤣🤣
After Neo got bugged and he woke up suddenly clutching his stomach, he tried to go back to sleep next thing I heard was “olo’run iya ni omo yii o, leyin iru ala yii, o ye ko bere si ngba’dura”

I no fit laugh.

@yabaleftonline @ndlea_nigeria what are we doing about helping young Nigerians like these? They need help and to be stopped by any means necessary. The distributors of these drugs needs to be clamped down to save our youths.

For 2 years in Paris, I worked with one of the world's leading Neurosurgeons. Everyone including the BSc student interning at the lab called him Marc.

The first day I spoke to Funso Doherty - i asked, "how would you like to be addressed?"

He said: "F.D is fine".

Wisdom demands.

Marc is French, Funso is Nigerian. Tony Elumelu is Nigerian.

Our cultural designs are widely apart - widely apart to the extent that, in a lot of family households, siblings don't call older siblings by name.

Now, it is a different case when you're speaking about people in third person. Sometimes it's just easier to use the first name in that conversation and keep it moving, like we do on social media all the time. Context matters and wisdom demands.

Another extra nuance I'll add is:

Wisdom also demands to pay attention to our people address each other around, especially if you're new in that environment. I'll give you another example.

My first year in Italy, I was in Milan. My supervisory head, a globally acknowledged professor, preferred to be called Danielle. That's what we all called her.

The year I moved down South, I noticed that everyone called my supervisory head, "Professor" instead of her first name. Wisdom demands that you pay attention.

It's not hypocrisy if Tony Elumelu responds to "Tony" abroad without problem then corrects his subordinate back home on how he preferred to be addressed. He wasn't even rude. Cultural context matters and in one context, he's the head of the organization. Even abroad, there are a lot of conservative leaders who don't operate on first name basis.

Of course, as the world progresses, we begin to culture mix & local organizations begin to adopt western communication structures - the lines can get blurred because we still have a lot of conservatives.

Again, wisdom demands that - you ask first:

"How would you like to be addressed?"

I have been privileged to work across over 20 countries including the United States and UK as a Gen Z. In many rooms I have been in, I was the youngest person.

So I can tell you, the greatest skill you need in your corner is not your certificate, but the ability to work across cultures and systems. 

The fact that the 76-year old CEO in my workplace 3 streets away from the White House asked me to call him by his first name Damon doesn’t mean I should come back to Nigeria and call Dr. Oby Ezekwesili by her first name.

It’s lack of social intelligence. When you are in Rome, you behave like a Roman. Adapt quickly or be left behind.

If this utterly ridiculous and blatant display of hate and anger had happened in CAF, you'd be hearing all kinds of talks from different media, but hey, it's Argentina and it's on the global scene.

Just want to show Africa in a bad light.
