My point exactly. It is a matter of social intelligence. Observe first and adapt. I remember moving to Uk as a teenager and grey haired professors having me call them by first names and feeling odd about it. But you observe an adapt to the prevailing culture.
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.
This is definitely a cultural thing. If she is Nigerian and grew up in Nigeria then it is erring on the wrong side. That said, he acknowledges the cultural nuance of it. He probably wouldn’t correct someone calling him Tony in certain settings abroad. Beware of the environment.
In a working system Mr. Chief of Staff should have resigned for independent investigation into his alleged part in getting a fake agency on the national budget. That absurdity has been swept under now like it never happened
Nigerians need to travel more within Africa. ❤️
Get a passport. Go to Ghana, Ivory Coast, Gabon. Fly to Kenya, Ethiopia, Botswana, Namibia, Mozambique, etc.
See and experience how other Africans live. Travel across the great continent and come back home. 🙌🙌

Antoine Semenyo opens up about his faith and being able to share it with team-mates at Manchester City.
Love this. Many church doctrines are influenced by cultural bias, yet members often accept them without question. While not entirely wrong, these doctrines shouldn’t be imposed on everyone.
